Lacrosse Sex Scandal — Sexual Assault or Prank?
Some say that Jerry Manuel and Willie Randolph are too similar, but somehow we can't envision Randolph, the former Mets manager saying what Manuel did on Tuesday night, even jokingly. When Jose Reyes was removed from the game after he experienced tightness in his hamstring, he had a helmet throwing-hissy-fit. Reyes later apologized to Manuel, but the new manager cracked to Reyes:
"I told him next time he does that I'm going to get my blade out and cut him. I'm a gangster. You go gangster on me, I'm going to have to get you. You do that again, I'm going to cut you right on the field."That would make for a bloody mess, Jerry! Nobody wants to see that!
Of course, the Mets internally joke about being gangster all the time, something Manuel alluded to when he was formally introduced as the interim manager on Tuesday. "That’s our in-house line. We do this all the time we say, 'Gangsters get on the field, ladies get on the bus.' Done that for a while." During Spring Training, when Manuel coached the B half of the team, he would call them "the gangters."

I'm a gangster.
Yes, the kind of "gangster" that lives in a nice house in the burbs and earns six figures.
Stick to baseball, Jerry.
he would call them "the gangters."
really?
"gangters"?
Baseball = Thug Life
Coincidentally, my accounting department refers to themselves as 'ballers.'
I, for one, am glad that Jerry Manuel has gone against the stereotype of hispanics being mild mannered and prissy.
Dear Hitler,
Manuel is not hispanic. He's black.
Jerry Manuel is from Georgia and is African-American, not Hispanic.
Good to know that BH is still an idiot after all.
It's amazing really. You really have to stupid to fail at trolling. And yet he keeps on trying to shock people. BH, you get an A for effort. And a smiley star on your trapper keeper.
Seems to me all he meant was he would cut Reyes from the lineup, with a bit of metaphor thrown in. What's the big deal? Does anyone think he'd risk being arrested for aggravated assault?
So long as the Mets win, I don't care if he 'burns da snitches, fucks da bitches and "cuts" da pitchas'.
replace black with hispanic, and the joke still stands.
