The following is a possible Jerry Manuel tirade. It is modeled after a halftime speech made by Bob Knight during his Indiana days.
"If you don't wanna' play then I'm getting the **** out of here. I mean if you're not going to hit a baseball, Royce Clayton, if you're just going to let the ball go by you, if you pitchers are going to let guys crowd the plate without one guy throwing at them, then I'm leaving, and you ****ing guys will run until you can't eat supper. Now, I'm tired of this ****! I'm sick and ****ing tired of a .500 record. I sick and tired of losing to Kansas City. I'm not here to **** around this week. Now, you may be, but I'm not. Now, I'll ****ing guarantee you, if we don't play well tomorrow night, you all aren't going to believe the next four ****ing days. I am not here to get my ass beat on Wednesday. Now, you better ****ing understand that right now. This is absolute ****ing bull****. I'll ****ing run your asses right into the ground. You'll think Anaheim was a ****ing picnic. I had to sit around for a year with a ****ing 83-79 record in this ****ing league. And I mean you will not put me in that ****ing position again, or you will goddamn pay for it like you can't ****ing believe. Now, you better get your heads out of your asses."
