One Last Time

So I flip on ESPNews and to my delight Rob Neyer's name is mentioned. I look up in glee, expecting talk about the division races or perhaps the instant replay ruling, and they do eventually get to that, but what do they choose to lead off with? Manny's hair.

Yes, I am serious.

...

Why?

ESPNEWS must be trying to keep people who aren't interested in the divison races watching by providing "humor"

What they likely accomplished is losing half of the people watching that channel.

Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
