Jerry Manuel, with a smile, speaking to reporters prior to 
Wednesday’s game, regarding what he told Jose Reyes in the locker room on Tuesday after the shortstop stormed off the field and tossed his helmet in disgust of being pulled from the game with a possible injury:
“I told him the next time he does that, I’m going to get my blade out and cut him, right on the field. Hey, I’m a gangsta now. You go gangsta on me, I’m gonna have to get you now.”
…i don’t know whether to laugh at this, or be afraid…
…apparently, jerry refers to himself and his players as gangstas…
In fact, during Manuel’s introductory press conference on Tuesday, he told reporters that he often uses the expression, “Gangstas on the field, ladies on the bus.”
Manuel, on his relationship with the players, and whether his confrontation with Reyes allowed him to how his team who his boss, while speaking to reporters prior to Wednesday’s game:
“Once you step into an authoritative position, you’ve got to be an authority. That’s the bottom line, and that has to be accepted. I’m not here to make friends, or for people to like me, or for people to say this or that about me, I’m here to run the club in the best way that I think is possible.”
