I Heart Jerry

I’m loving The J-Man. I cannot get over this. I cannot condone violence, but if he whipped out one of those “comb-knives” from the 70s, that might make Jose pay attention.

“I told him next time he does that I’m going to get my blade out and cut him. I’m a gangster. You go gangster on me, I’m going to have to get you. You do that again, I’m going to cut you right on the field.”

I love that the headlines across America today are things like “Is Jerry Manuel insane?” I hope he is.

Jerry’s Gonna Cut Reyes?

Wow, I guess we had this guy all wrong!

Jerry on Reyes showing him up:

“I told him the next time you do it I’m going to get my blade out and cut you – right out there on the field.”
Hilarious! Maybe we have a manager who will yell and scream, throw people against walls and maybe even stab someone!
Better start running out those ground balls to second fellas.
As for Jerry – you shouldn’t have let Jose play last night. If you’re worried about “losing him” then he shouldn’t be on the team at all.

The Quotable Manuel

So far I’m loving this guy:

“Once you step into an authoritative position, you’ve got to be an authority. That’s the bottom line, and that has to be accepted. I’m not here to make friends or for people to like me.”

“I really believe that our team plays good for five, six innings, then all of a sudden, where’s the focus and intensity?”

“I don’t care how much you squiggle and squirm.”

and is this one real?

“Last night, Reyes. She acted up. I brought her home with me. She had a day off.”

Jon Stewart on Willie

Omar, as we used to say in Queens, this is “a bite.” I have “bit” the idea from mostlymets.com who posted this first and I totally cop.
