"Open and kind of spongy."

Joe Maddon’s description of Manny Ramirez. Maddon elaborated, saying that Ramirez:

soaks up the king’s countenance, his rewards, his authorities. But such officers do the king best service in the end. He keeps them, like an ape, in the corner of his jaw, first mouthed to be last swallowed. When he needs what you have gleaned, it is but squeezing you and, sponge, you shall be dry again.”

Man, Joe Maddon really tears into people.
