Jerry Manuel is a classless, self-important, condescending jerk, and he owes Ryan Church an apology. If he comes out with anymore Church-bashing, I hope Ryan quits being so nice about it and lets him have it.dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834126126501450368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-57342917119959857202009-08-17T23:19:18.624-04:002009-08-17T23:19:18.624-04:00I didn't think is was possible to make this se...I didn't think is was possible to make this season any worse than it already is.<br /><br />Thanks, Jerry.

To note an obvious example, Gary Carter was one of the most obnoxious bible-thumpers there ever was, but somehow, managers dealt with him. Church may very well be a fundamentalist bigot, but the manager's job is to win games, not worry about philosophies; you play the best players you have.
