Manny Ramirez has looted Shawn Chacon’s playbook of crazy. In the most recent episode of “Manny being Manny,” Ramirez wasn’t being the silly cuddly bear that we’re all accustomed to. Instead, Manny allows evil spirits known as “a Latino family wanting free tickets to a ball game” to infiltrate his soul and turn his rather docile and quirky demeanor into that of a homocidal maniac. What in the freakin’ world are we talking about? Read on, readers:

Manny Ramirez shoved Red Sox traveling secretary Jack McCormick to the ground in an argument over Ramirez’ ticket allotment. Several onlookers moved quickly to separate the two. Ramirez had asked McCormick for 16 tickets for Saturday night’s Red Sox-Astros game, an unusually high number for day-of-game. In addition to handling all travel details for clubs, traveling secretaries also take player ticket requests for both home and away games.

When McCormick cautioned Ramirez that he might not be able to fulfill his request, Ramirez responded by shouting: “Just do your job!” An argument ensued and Ramirez pushed McCormick, sending him to the ground.

He didn’t even choke him? Pathetic. He did, however, apologize after McCormick wet his pants began weeping. And you would to if you saw what most people don’t ever see: Manny Ramirez’s dreads turning into blood sucking tentacles when enraged. Don’t worry, someone will have photo evidence of this phenomenon soon.
