He seemed to be doing a lot of reading in the dugout last night. Scouting reports? Old Davey Johnson computer printouts? George Will? Ghandi?

One of the dicks in the News today was saying how Manuel is a devoted reader of the works of Ghandi and that most Mets fan would not like to hear that , which is just moronic to say.

As long as he doesn't read the News, he's OK by me.

I'm hoping he reads Bill James.

We should put together a box of books for him and send it to him at Shea.

I'd give him a box of the hair dye thing that Keith endorses to use on his beard.

No play for Mr. Grey!

He's married! He shouldn't be worried about the grey in his beard! (Just like I'm not worried about the grey in mine.)

I would think he wasn't taking his job seriously if he was playing bingo. The other coaches/players would need cards too and the PA announcer would have to call out things like "B-12...B-12."
