    No, you're cool. I was just joking. I thought you probably felt the same way.:lol:

    Okay, just checking. I was gonna say, dickwad's one hell of a judge of character. I was wondering you if you were qualified to make such a statment.:lol:

    Yeh 100,000 a game to pitch 40 times a year must be tough.

    I don't really see anything wrong with it. It's an annoying thing for players 24/7. If they want to do it during BP, I'll think more highly of them. If they don't, no big deal. If they're directly a dick to fans, then that's a problem.

    Did you call him "Papp-le-bon"? That might have something to do with it.

    Pap signed for me in 2005, his first year. I've found that players just get tired of it as their careers progress. Pedroia and Youk signed a lot early in their careers too.

    Fans can be dicks sometimes, so even if you have an adorable kid or whatever, there probably are 40 year old people who have a binder full of baseball cards that are going straight on eBay (it's a cliche but it's true).

    Manny used to leave the games in his uniforms without showering so he can avoid the fans. Or so Remi tells me.
    Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too.

    I was stuck in traffic next to Manny outside of Fenway right after a game. He must have left really quick. He wasn't wearing a uni though.
