Manny Being Rickey

Ahhh… I loved it.  I saw Rickey Henderson hit a homerun single last night.  Sweet memories.  Speaking of Manny, he’s either Manny or he’s diabolical according to Pedroia:

“You guys in the media needed something to write on the off day and he gave it to you,” Pedroia said. “He took the pressure of you guys to come up with some kind of story and he took the pressure off the rest of his teammates before a big game because all the focus was on him instead of our backs being against the wall.” Pedroia then grinned, and said, “He was just Manny being Manny.”
