I don't have it either. Was just giving the crew a heads up so any recaps, from those who watched it, would be appreciated.

I did hear a little about it on the radio this morning and, of course, they had two "Manny being Manny" stories to tell.

I guess there was a period where Chad Ogea had to go to the minors for a rehab assignment. This happened at the exact same time of the OJ Simpson/white Bronco chase on TV. For some reason, Manny thought it was Chad "OJ" who killed his wife and was being chased.

The second comes from Plain Dealer Tribe beat reporter Paul Hoynes who said that, while the Tribe was on a road trip, Manny came up to him and asked to borrow $14k to buy "two motorcycles for him and (I believe) Julian Tavares because John Hart won't give us an advance on our paychecks." It sounds like Hoynes looked at Manny incredulously and said "$14k? Do you have any idea what a newspaper reporter makes?"

God, that Manny...along with some of the lost paycheck stories, etc. that dude was pretty clueless.

Manny is my favorite Indian of all time. Lofton and O close behind.

Belle is easily my favorite. His "contribution" to last nights documentary was leaving a voicemail for the director saying "you can quote me on one thing and that is that John Hart screwed up the potential dynasty."

Manny is probably my favorite player of all-time. I was so sad when he left. I just pulled up his stats. How about the season he had in his last year in Cleveland in 2000? 38 home runs and 122 RBIs...batting .351? And he did it in 118 games. Left 44 games...over a quarter of the season on the table.

I heard the first of those stories fairly recently (might have been a promo for the show, can't remember), but not the second.

IMO, Tribe's best bet for future at 2nd Base is Kreiger (Rubber Ducks).
