"Ramirez was enraged by the call, and was so angry about it the next day that he had to be talked into playing the Saturday afternoon game. On Sunday, Ramirez sought out an MLB official to try to get the call reversed.
Think about that: In the middle of the Sox' three most dispiriting losses of the season, suffered at the hands of the team's archrival, Ramirez sulked about losing credit for a meaningless single that didn't even involve an RBI.
That's perspective for you."
RED SOX NATION SPEAKS:
If this is true, and Manny did finally pull himself out of the game on Monday for such a selfish reason, then this episode may top all of Manny's previous "Manny Being Mannys"...He is one of the greatest right handed bats in baseball history, but lacks great baseball instinct. More importantly, Ramirez lacks the respect for the game, the team, and its fans that would make him an All-Time great player.
