From: spike lee on 23 Jul 2010 11:09 After losing 2 - zip to Dodgers, more meaningless words from Manuel: "We still aren't able to put anything together," manager Jerry Manuel said. "We've got to eventually turn this thing around. We're not doing ourselves any good by playing close games and losing them. Somebody's got to find a way to get hot and carry us for a minute." Why the hell can't this team hit ? 5 singles last night against the Dodgers, pa-thetic.....
