He actually struck out on three Rivera pitches...all called strikes. His teammates don't think he "threw" that particular at bat. I've seen him do that (take three strikes) before... I dunno. It was an especially ugly at-bat. He was pinch-hitting with two outs in a clutch situation late in a close game. Seeing Manny not take the bat off his shoulders was kind of hard to take.

Re: the fine and the incident with the traveling secretary...word has gotten out he was fined five figures...likely around $15,000. I have no problem with the team handling this internally. There is no way they could have done anything else but handle it very seriously.

He seems to have become a lightning rod this season in relation to odd behavior.

Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!
