Shawn Chacon attempts to kill Ed Wade, which as far as most people (including me) are concerned makes him a True American Hero and is immediately cut. Manny Ramirez shoves the Boston travel secretary to the ground because he tells him he might not be able to get him 16 tickets for a game and he isn’t disciplined at all as far as anyone can tell. I don’t expect Manny to get cut from the Red Sox, but surely you’d think there would be some sort of repercussion made public. Of course now that everyone is whining, maybe he’ll get fined a puny amount.
Ramirez had requested 16 tickets from Jack McCormick for Saturday’s game against the Astros, the report said.
After McCormick said that might not be possible, Ramirez replied by yelling, “Just do your job,” according to Monday’s report.
Ramirez and McCormick later discussed the incident in a private meeting, during which the left fielder made amends.
“That’s over,” Ramirez said Sunday, according to the report. “We’re fine now.”
Boston manager Terry Francona said the team had resolved the matter and was “satisfied with how we handled this.”
“Sometimes things happen,” Francona said, according to The Journal. “And when they do, we choose to handle them internally.”
Said McCormick: “It was an unfortunate misunderstanding and it’s over with as far as I’m concerned.”
See, it’s ok! He apologized!
