Manny being pushy; is Costanza next?

A clubhouse confrontation has led to an apology from Manny Ramirez, according to a report in the Providence Journal. Here we go:
Days after Houston Astros pitcher Shawn Chacon tackled general manger Ed Wade in the home clubhouse at Minute Maid Park, the visitors clubhouse was the scene of another player-club employee altercation Saturday afternoon.
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 insued (sic) and Ramirez pushed McCormick, sending him to the ground.
Later, the two met behind closed doors and Ramirez apologized to McCormick, who accepted the gesture. No further disciplinary action is expected against Ramirez.
Asked on Sunday to comment on the altercation, Ramirez responded: “That’s over. We’re fine now.”
Never you mind, of course, that Ramirez could have easily bought 16 tickets using the money he earns while doing his job.

“Next, on When Manny Being Manny Goes Wrong…”
“…today’s topic, ‘When your pride-swallowing job just isn’t enough, let him shove your pride down your throat.’”
Tonight on FOX: “When Manny’s attack.”
It would be more fitting if Manny’s name was Dick.
Then, we could say, “oh, that’s just Dick being a Dick.”
I don’t know if this is actually a job or not but Costanza started off as the “Assistant to the Traveling Secretary”.
If this job does exist I’m sure McCormick took out all his frustration on that guy. Then that Assistant probably went home and took out the frustration on the Mrs. Assistant, who then took it out on the little Assistant.
Long story longer, Manny Ramirez is responsible for kids being beaten!
Manny should just be happy John Rocker isn’t the traveling secretary.
Manny should be happy anyone talks to him. His hair looks like it reeks.
He could have just paid cash for those 16 lap dances.
You know those people who say, I’d never wish anything bad on him……
Well, I’d like to see Manny get hit in the face with a 95 mph fastball.
Maybe it’s just me, but a guy can hope….right?
Maybe there’s something in the OJ at Minute Maid Park.
