In the latest installment of “Mind of the Manager”, Jerry Manuel discusses what he read on Mets.com:
“Jenrry Mejia has a complete medial collateral ligament tear in his right elbow, Mets medical director Dr. David Altchek discovered Monday in an MRI exam.”
M****er f***er! I knew it. I knew it. Why didn’t they listen to me? I told that kid not to worry about throwing anything but that m***er f***ing fastball and they all thought I was crazy. Crazy! Now they know that I was worried about that kid’s health all along!
They kept saying that Mejia should be a starting pitcher and I kept telling everyone … curveballs ain’t gangsta! CURVEBALLS AIN’T GANGSTA!!! Did they listen? No, they all wrote that I was just doing that to save my job. What do I care about that job? I can go on MLB Network anytime I want because the baseball public has a hunger for what’s going on in the Mind of the M***er F***ing Manager! I’M THE M***ER F***ING MANAGER!!! THE ONE WITH THE M***ER F***ING MIND!!! And my mind said all along that kid should be a *** damn middle reliever! And now what? What do you have? I’ll tell you what that kid doesn’t have, a working MCL!
But wasn’t Mejia hurt when you managed him too?
Oh please, that was a rhomboid strain. Who’s ever heard of a rhomboid? How was I supposed to know that we had geometric shapes in our body. If I had known there was a something called a rhomboid, if our medical staff knew that there was something called a rhomboid, we wouldn’t have had him throw fastballs either. We just would have had R.A. Dickey teach him a knuckleball and have him throw those out of the bullpen.
So what you’re saying is …
What I’m saying is that he can get all the second opinions he want, surgery’s on Thursday. SURGERY … IS ON … THURSDAY!!! Hey let me ask you: Who has two thumbs and is blameless for Jenrry Mejia’s injury?
Umm, well …
THIS GUY!!!
Thank you Jerry …
CURVEBALLS AIN’T GANGSTA!!!
Okay Jerry.
*Snoop, in reality, said none of this … unless he muttered it to himself in a dark room.
