Of course, when his hitting streak ended on the weekend, it ended because Manny loafed his way to 1B on a ground ball that he woulda beaten out if he hadda put out any effort at all on the play.
Manny did loaf, except for the last 45'.
If you get a chance, watch a replay of that Dog glancing over his left shoulder and kicking his pace up two clicks, when he saw a play was being made on his lazy self. He clearly hurt his team.
