I was at Friday's Red Sox game (front row baby!) and was completely not surprised by the reaction to Manny. I totally understand Manny being Manny, but the last few days had been ridiculous. The boos did die down some as the game went on, but I found it very amusing.
Last night, I flip on the TV. Game was in the 7th, two on, one out, Manny steps out and what happens? Crowd goes bonkers all cheering for Manny, even to the point of chanting his name.
I guess his gangsta comment worked well :)
