Randy is the reason the Red Sox win. Since this High five Manny got famous and became a Randy Dunning fan. My proof, Manny is so famous now that he moved to Hollywood and plays for the Dodgers.

i’ve been a red sox fan my whole life. who cares if he started being a fan in 03. who cares if he’s even a red sox fan. he got high fived mid double play. whether you admit it or not your all just jealous so shut the hell up. i know im jealous but you don’t see me whining and nit picking. he happened to be in the right place at the right time to go down in baseball history, and hes a sox fan. quit giving the guy such a hard time and just say: good for you man, you lucky bastard.

Holy shit.
I’m only 13 and I’ve been a Red Sox fan longer than he has.
13 years.
And I agree with Elo Melgo.
Wow you’ve been a red sox fan for 4 years and you’re getting publicity and shit like that.
He is a bandwagon fan.

The civilized world congratulated sawx nation for winning their first ring for nearly outspending the league. Bravo. Manny is a character and a teddy bear, who made one hilarious defensive play every few years, again, Bravo! We love your style, and loathe your work ethic, Manny.

Now, two rings are a dynasty. Spending $50 million to be able to negotiate with Matsuzaka isn’t evil or imperiali$m. Wow. Just a scrappy batch of regular Joes, and Manny is a bargain. Sorry, he’s a great DH, who can’t run to 1st base, and Sawx Nation remains a legion of whiners who forgot that they choked every chance they got for 100 years.

Here’s to the Florida and Baltimore teams who field teams on what Boston stars earn. Jealousy is when a team always get lucky, respect is earned when a team struggles achieves and performs. Again, most people congratulated Boston on a championship, but thought the cockiness was bizzaro.

[...] here’s an interview later on with the fan on the receiving end Manny’s high five: The crowd didn’t seem to notice the high-five so much as the great play. The only one that made [...]

i love it, red sox fans have found a way to cry, even when they’re winning. the sox don’t win the series for a gajillion years, “boo-hoo, we’re cursed,” they win two in four years, “boo-hoo, people don’t like us.” i hate the red sox and their fans because they bitch and moan about everything. you’re team’s winning, who cares what people think about you? why are all red sox fans so defensive?

Clark,

I just read the upstream comments on this post and learned that you are a Twins fan – same here. I’ve been a Twins fan since 1963 – the days of Harmon KLillegrew, Tonly Oliva, Jim Kaat, Camilo Pascual, Bob Allison (who played football at Kansas U), Rich Rollins, Jimmy Hall, Don Mincher, Early Battey, Vic Power, et. al.

I’m also an alum of several OkC radio news departments in the 70s and 80s – KOCY-AM, KEBC-FM, KTOK-AM, and KCNN-AM. I worked with Tony Sellars at KEBC. His leaving KEBC to go to Channel 5 Sports in late 1977 opened up the plum State Capitol beat for me.

Hey, congratulations.

You guys were just mentioned on the Fox Baseball Game of the Week – sorta. Fox is broadcastiong the Red Sox-Brewers game this afternoon. In the bottom of the second, the announcers discussed Manny Ramirez’ high-five catch-and-throw. They didn’t name TheLostOgle. However, they did say that one of them did say, “We have since learned, thanks to an Oklahoma Web site, that the fan who was on the receiving end of that high-five -his name is Randy Dunning, from Edmond, Oklahoma and he is the nephew of our colleague at Fox Sports, the former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Barry Switzer.”

In an unfortunate twist of oh-so-cruel fate, they did not menmtion TheLostOgle by name.

P.S. Mystic Marvin, jealousy is an ugly ugly thing – not all of us can be Red Sox fans

Tell us, how’s the weather down there in the AL East cellar?
