Manny being Manny, or Scott Boras being Scott Boras

Picking up on a theme I threw down a couple posts ago, I just love Manny. Scott Boras just turned down the Dodgers' last offer of $45 mill over two years with a player only option for the second year. Turned down $45 mill? What world are you living in Boras. Of course Boras has kids to feed, and his 5% or 10% of whatever he gets out of each contract needs to be large enough to feed all those munchkins.

Here's to you Manny and Boras, straight from my Microsoft paint files.....I call it the Manny Salute

A Roid.......

....is fucked. Looks like his "apology" is full of holes, and his explanation that he took boli because he was under pressure is just stupid. And then crying that the last 15 months has been really hard on him. Fuck you A Roid. You've made half a billion, and you're complaining about how your life is hard? Lots of people go through a divorce, but some people lose a lot of money in the process, don't have any money to begin with, or lose their kids, etc etc. How about all the people who were living month to month for the last 15 months and have now lost their jobs? You're crying because the media has been hard on you? That's what you get for a) going to New York knowing full well what the media and tabloids are like there, and b) accepting half a billion to play a fucking game.

I don't want to hear another apology, another change in your story, more spin, more whining as to why you've had a hard life the last couple years. Maybe I'll respect you more if you use your ridiculously immoral salary to buy people houses, or feed them, or do something worthwhile with your time.

And while I'm at it, Manny: take the 25 million from the Dodgers. Are you fucking kidding me? You turned down 25 million? I know a bunch of guys who would give their left nut, and probably their right nut too, to make the league minimum. Shit, far less than the league minimum.

Manny: you disgust me.
