Results of the Manny Poll

Okay, we admit that we probably overreacted a bit when we said Manny Ramirez should be treated the same way as Barry Bonds. Okay, make that we overreacted a little bit.

When Manny (we will not refer to him as Man-Ram as that idiot Eric Karros does on Weasel Fox Sports) is in a hot streak like he is this month, there's absolutely no reason to pitch to him. Especially when throwing an 85-mph fastball inside on him isn't exactly "busting" him inside.

That being said, 31% of you said walk no matter what. 17% completely hate the idea of walking a batter when it's not called for.

We guess the 52% of you who said it depends on the situation are the most rational of all. Well, maybe.
