just manny geeting away with acting like a child AGAIN!
Would it of been the same if was another player?

Manny needs to go. Or are we writing this off as
"Manny being Manny"? Manny needs his ass kicked. Its not as if he's batting 320 or anything! His days of playing the prima donna role are long gone.

What is up with Manny...I thought he was going to be all calm and relaxed this season. Now he's fighting in the dugout with teammates and throwing down members of the staff. Looks like the big baby needs some anger management classes!

Arrest, revoke citizenship, deport!!!! It's just Manny being Manny!!!

Jim, Manny ain't going anywhere. Are you a Yankee fan for even suggesting it? I wonder. HMMM.....

Dump this bum.

People push each other all the time. So he is famous. I think it says a lot about the maturity sox organization that they can handle stuff like this internally, rather than have it blow up like the thing with the astros. Manny does not need to go. Manny can stay right here in Boston and push me every damn day. The world is turning into a bunch lame-asses that cant handle anything on their own.

okay Manny did act like a big baby and he should be strongly disciplined, I do think they let ball players get away with too much. Manny needs to be brought back to reality.

But I think people are being a little dramatic. Get rid of him? Yeah let's get rid of one of the best hitters in the game because he lost his cool and acted like a jerk. That would be a smart move for the team.

Typical Red Sox players and fans... spoiled brats who think they are owed everything

Not a surprise when you run such a classless organization with a terrible bandwagon fan base

Cubs

This is just the tip of the Manny behavioral iceberg. Committing a CRIME against a senior citizen is just Manny searching for a new way to get two weeks off around the all-star break.

He's already used up all the dead and sick relatives he has and fake injuries his limited mind can think of. So....he committs a crime and the Red Sox don't even blink.
What is Manny going to do when he's told that the Sox wont talk about extending him until after the season?
When is a Red Sox player going to step and punch Manny in the mouth?

insued? Great job.

Shouldn't Jason Varitek, as the captain of the team, say something to Manny about this?

um..Hello? Who cares? If this was another player they would have done the same thing. You ever get in a shoving match with your brother, then twenty minutes later go play catch? Same thing.

Interesting that Youkilis has temper/testosterone tantrums in the dugout every second game and Boston fans ignore it. Yet the one batter who has always produced for them is continuously derided.

Cubs fans with class? Any organization headed by Lou P has no business talking about class.

Give an employee like Ramirez $20 million/year,have him get the wrong answer from an underling and that's just what you'd expect.The money makes the man in his circle;whether he has any class or not.

WOW! What a buncha haters! Here's Johnny writes that The Red Sox are a classless organization with a bandwagon fan base! Sad!

Well, Here's Johnny, I hate to say it, but the Cubs will experience the same phenomenon of a bandwagon fan base, if and when they ever win a series. It happens! The team that wins becomes the "flavor of the month". But, to condemn generations of diehard fans, for some classless individuals? Not fair.

Classless organization??? Look at YOUR team! The Cubs have one of the worst ownerships in the MLB - everyone knows it. Is it classless to win, or is it classless to let your fans suffer year after year, with little effort put forth to change? The Cubs are doing very well, this year. Maybe the philosophy is changing. Or, maybe the fans are starting to grumble too loudly, and the front office has to do its job.

Think about it. Who's the real "classless" organization? Me thinks thou doth protest too much!

for all of you that say that the Sox did the right thing by keeping it internal, and that it is ok because if you pushed your brother down 20 minutes you would be out playing...

for all those that feel that way - go to work tomorrow - knock down a co-worker and tell him to do his job and let me know how much longer you have a job.

Im sure that no employer would have a problem with this.

To the person who said people shove other people all the time:

Can YOU shove someone at your job and keep it/not get punished? I certainly know at most/all jobs I've worked, if I shoved someone, particularly a 60 year old, to the ground, I'd likely be terminated, if not on severe probation of some sort. Yet, Manny in the span of a few weeks shoves two co-workers around and gets a "Bad Manny, no cookie for you," from the team.

He may be a great hitter, but even great hitters still have to follow the rules and, frankly, his antics are getting worse and tiresome. At some point, the antics outweigh the production due to how much they distract the rest of the team and I think he's very much at that line right now.

MANNY'S RECENT AND PREVIOUS ANTICS (REMEMBER-ZIMMER, A SENIOR CITIZEN NO LESS)NOT ONLY DEMONSTRATES HE IS A JERK, BUT IT ALSO SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE SOX OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO START DISCIPLINING THEIR PLAYERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE THE POOREST OF ROLE MODELS FOR YOUNG CHILDREN TO EMULATE? PROBABLY NEVER, AS IT HAS BEEN READILY APPARENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW THAT ANY OF THEIR PLAYERS CAN LOOK, DRESS AND ACT LIKE "JERKS OR HOODLUMS" AS LONG AS THEY CONTRIBUTE TO MANAGEMENT'S MAIN GOAL:
"WINNING IS EVERYTHING". (AND SO IS MONEY; FORGET CHARACTER,HONOR,AND RESPECT)

If this had happened anywhere else in corporate America that person would have been disciplined, possibly fired for such an act. Manny has gotten away with too much for way too long. He needs to be dealt with to send a message to everyone else in the clubhouse that this is inexcusable. SIck of "manny being Manny".
