How Manny Celebrates Losing Game 4 of the ALCS
Mitchell Blatt
Sox Down 3-1, but “Who Cares?”
Everyone knows Manny Ramirez is a classless showboater, but did he really need to celebrate his homerun that put the Red Sox within 4 like this? (Why yes, he did, or else what would I have to write about?) It was in the sixth inning of the Indians Game 4 ALCS win, and it was the Red Sox third straight home run. That was the first time a team had hit three straight homeruns in ALCS history, so it was big, but not nearly as big as the Indians 7-run inning in the fifth. Not nearly as big as the Indians 3-1 series lead. Then again, “Who Cares?” According to Manny Ramirez: “There’s always next year.”
Well, he did seem to care about the home run. Maybe because it was his home run and not the team’s.
Indians catcher Kelly Shoppach had a few words for Manny as he was celebrating: “I told him to get going, like I would anyone. I love Manny. He’s a great guy. But don’t do that to us. Everyone knows he’s a great player, but you don’t have to show it. We don’t have guys who do that.”
Indians pitcher Jensen Lewis who allowed the home run: “If he’s going to celebrate one run like that, that’s up to him.”
Right, so we have the Indians scoring seven runs and not doing a whole lot of showboating and the Red Sox scoring three runs and acting like they just won the series. This is why everyone hates the Red Sox.
