Manny Shows Chacon How to Manhandle Employees

Last week pitcher Shawn Chacon grabbed Astros general manager Ed Wade by the neck and threw him to the ground. Chacon's punishment? Booted off the team.

Saturday Manny Ramirez pushed Red Sox traveling secretary Jack McCormick to the ground:

Manny Ramirez has apologized for pushing the team's traveling secretary to the ground in the visitors clubhouse during a confrontation Saturday in Houston, according to a report in The Providence Journal.

Ramirez had requested 16 tickets from Jack McCormick for Saturday's game against the Astros, the report said.

After McCormick said that might not be possible, Ramirez replied by yelling, "Just do your job," according to Monday's report.

Manny's punishment? Nothing. Oh, that silly Manny! Playful yet smart enough to restrict his assaults to lower-level employees.

To be fair, Chacon had asked Wade for 17 tickets.

Manny only said "just do your job", they didn't exchange words

It also helps when you're sixth in home runs and RBIs in the league... as opposed to being ninth in the league in home runs allowed. Dayam.
