quick hitter <> suffer

"sometimes it’s better off to have a two-year deal in a place that you’re gonna be happy, than have an eight year deal in a place that you’re gonna, you know, SUFFER"

the blood boils ... manny ramirez says he suffered in boston ... at $20 mil per season he suffered ... on 2 world series championship teams he suffered ... in a town that adored him as their very own hitter savant he suffered ... on the occasions he talked about wanting to retire a red sox he suffered ... im beginning to understand better what sweet lou merloni means when he so passionately says "manny thinks totally different from how me and you think" ... he suffered in boston ... yeah right ... in the very home of the "boston dirt dog" ... manny was the antithesis of the dirt dog persona ... yet manny was loved ... "manny being manny" ... loyal dirt dogs across new england used the phrase as code for "overlook" and "cover up" ... manny heard it as his enabler ... and used it as his excuse ... manny was new england's rock star ... but he suffered in boston ... anything you say manny

the real problem here ... manny doesnt understand the english meaning of the word "suffer" ... ramirez has played the "i no speak good english" card his entire career ... and he has no clue what "suffering" really is ... in almost 8 years in boston ... manny made not one 3/4 mile trip down the street to dana farber to visit with suffering children ... not once did manny tag along with his buddy big papi on one of david's regular visits ... given two opportunities as a world champion ... manny twice turned his back on our wounded veterans suffering at walter reed hospital in washington, dc ... the real "manny being manny" ... selfish ... ignorant ... arrogant ... suffering ... sad
