Did Jerry Manuel really imply that David Wright is tough and Ryan Church is not tough, based on their ability to recover from a concussion?
Apparently...
Has this guy lost his mind?????
Are they fighting a war? Is this a matter of life and death?
This isn't a case of Cliff Floyd hamming it up over a twisted ankle (more on that later, I am sure).
This is a concussion! A guy's brain banging against his skull!
Not to mention that Church DID come back quickly from the concussion, and it ruined his season.
Manuel should be fired for saying what he said. Simple as that.
No wonder every met injured under Manuel has pushed himself and hurt himself worse (except for Wright). Beltran, Reyes, Delgado, Church (kinda). They all think Manuel will throw them under the bus as being "soft" for not "playing through" their injuries. Remember Manuel saying Sheffield had a "cramp," and he ended up on the DL? This guy is unreal.
If this is what he is saying to the press, imagine what he said behind closed doors to Church. All the while saying that there wasn't a rift between them.
Normally, I try to end with a pithy comment, but it's hard to be pithy when your blood is boiling. That said, I'll give it a shot:
Manuel was quoted as saying Omar Minaya "owed it to the team" to try to play through his injury. Unconfirmed reports indicate Minaya broke his pinky toe tripping over his own tongue.
(How was that?)
