With heavy heart, ESPN Radio's Dan Shulman acknowledges Manny's post season record....

You could hear the PA announcer's voice in Anaheim note the record achieved by Manny Ramirez' homerun in Sunday's Red Sox-Angels game...

• "Manny Ramirez has tied Bernie Williams for post season homeruns....."

ESPN's Dan Shulman says, well, yes Manny now has tied Bernie Williams with 22 post season homeruns. Shulman not thrilled about it, says these hitters have had the "LUXURY" of extra post season series unlike "the OLD DAYS WHEN THEY JUST HAD THE WORLD SERIES..."

• Then Shulman in reluctant tone says, "But" an accomplishment "NONETHELESS" for Ramirez.....

"NONETHELESS?" This is the skewed reality of baseball's elite. They practically put AN ASTERISK next to players who've gutted out post season achievements from 1995 to the present. Put it in a lesser category, they're saying.

• We're lead to feel sorry for the poor guys sitting on the couch resting up to pad next season's regular season stats.
