What should happen, tho, is that when the Sox visit Seattle, the M's pitcher places a large bruise in Manny's ribs with the first pitch he throws. I am a staunch defender of Manny, but he behaved very badly after the second home run. He stood there, walked 10 steps or so, started to jog, pointed to the heavens with both hands, rounded the bases, tossed his helmet away and then jumped up and down with his (reluctant) teammates as if it was a walk-off game-winner.
I know he's been off to a slow start and he was probably genuinely happy to have a great game, but I wouldn't object if the M's gave him a wake-up call in Seattle.

I hope this helps poor Manny:
