Remember this afternoon when I said I was done talking about this unnecessary steroid melodrama concerning Raul Ibañez? Well, technically, I was being honest. *I’m* done discussing it, but that doesn’t mean I can’t post the reaction of our great manager, Charlie Manuel.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Charlie Manuel is a cot damn wordsmith.
I’m sure Raul’s upset about it. I think whenever you make some kind of acquisition [sic] and definitely when it comes public like that, I think that someone should have to prove it. And ya know like, and uhhh, I think that he invades your rights. And I think that that’s, uhhhh, ya know like I think that that’s against the law if you wanna know the truth. So that’s all I gotta say.
You hear that bloggers? When you’re sitting in your mother’s basement forcing yourself to come up with some lame topic to write about — THINK before making some false acquisitions. Because if you go around just tossing out acquisitions whenever you damn well please, someone who writes for a popular newspaper might take that acquisition, highlight it, and make you the laughingstock of the internet for a day.
Thanks, Charlie. Now tell ‘em yourself:

Acquisitions. LOLZ.

On another note. I think Raul was an excellent accusation for the Phillies.

In post game tonight, when asked about Chase Utley, Manual’s Response went something like this:
“I, ummm uhh, like Chase”
On another note, Amy Fadool is absolutely terrible at her job but not too bad on the eyes.
June 11th, 2009 at 12:42 am
On another note. No blogger has accused Raul Ibanez of using steroids.
June 11th, 2009 at 12:44 am
I hate to be the one to bring it up, but has anyone considered the possibility that Charlie “Noam Chomsky” Manuel might take, um, performance enhancing drugs for his speaking ability?
June 11th, 2009 at 1:02 am
Well said, Gonzo.
June 11th, 2009 at 1:22 am
High five, Lynnie. You made some great points on the other post.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:46 am
Gonzo, are you continuing to fan the flames from the last post, much like you fanned flames with your irresponsible article? Let’s move on…
I think that Charles Fuqua Manuel, Jr., Esquire is setting some great legal precedent here: making improper acquisitions can lead to an invasion of rights. If that is the case, I hope the statute of limitations has not run out for my suit against Ed Wade.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:51 am
Civ, that’s not the same Gonzo from the Inqy.
I don’t think you’re the only one that was confused.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:52 am
I am a fan of Amy Fadool, especially when the tv is on mute.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:01 am
Oops!
He is still a Gonzo apologist, however.
When will this site get some real celebrities, meech? I heard Andy Musser needs a job.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:06 am
Do people here just like the phrase “on another note” or am I being mocked?

1. Marshall Harris is TERRIBLE at what he does. How the hell did he ever get a job? He studders over his words and half of the time what he says makes zero sense.
2. Do you guys really think it was wrong for this blogger to write what he wrote? (Note: I didn’t read what he wrote) From what I’ve heard he never accused Ibanez of taking steroids, only suggested taking a look at the numbers. Is that really too bad? Raul, get upset at Bonds, McGuire, Sosa, Canseco, A-Rod, etc. whose actions will forever taint the game of baseball. These are the people you should be blaming, not some nobody blogger trying to write an interesting article. Also, blame the players union because until we get better testing there is also going to be people wondering if player x took steroids.

those damn acquisitions….they’ll always get ya! To his good fortune, he’s paid to manage, not to speak.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:54 am
a blogger saying something that isn’t true? never happens….but this guy told me once that the mets have swine flu…

What was with Mitch Williams and the Sarah Palin glasses last night? MLB Network is making him soft.
June 11th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
acquisition, lol
June 11th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
It was late, Mitchy-Poo must have been tired and needed Sarah’s glasses.
And when I watch Amy Fadool it’s cringeworthy. With Werth last night it was “blah blah blah happened, how about that?” Like four times in a row. And Werth ain’t no talker himself. I find myself praying she gets some sudden gift of eloquence – because I never want her to leave my TV screen and leave me with Marshall Harris.

@ Civil:
No, I am not the same Gonzo who wrote the article. Perhaps you don’t realize I am on the side of the guy who wrote the blog, not the guy from the Inquirer.
June 11th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
You’re both just poor rip offs of this guy:
