Manny shouldn't be in LA...he should be in jail...

[joeybee12]

...why didn't the traveling secretary file assault charges against the asshole? Good riddance, I say.

2. I think getting rid of Manny was a bad move

the Red Sox had trouble with Manny in the last half of 2006 as well but he came back in 2007 and helped them win another World Series. One thing about Manny...he never stopped producing. Jason Bay might smile and say all the right things but he's not half the player Ramirez is. The Sox will be lucky to make the playoffs.

[joeybee12]

3. I disagree...Manny went over a line this year...

...he was never starting fights like the two we know of...he was just being a jerk. He became a real problem.

[Tektonik]

5. I'd be a jerk too if I was Manny

How'd you react to a F.O. that has been trying to get rid of you for years, even though you were the savior of the Red Sox?

[joeybee12]

7. I'm sure Manny agrees with you...

He certainly acts like the chosen one. He was a distraction...they played like shit because of him lately.

[rinsd]

4. Agreed. Watch Papi's numbers take a dive without Manny's protection.

[nickgutierrez]

6. Well, nobody's really proven there's a "protection" effect, first.

He might take a few more walks, but that's about it. Although that Jason Bay guy is no hack.

[joeybee12]

8. Time will tell...

...I think Bay will be an improvement...he might actually NOT crawl to first base.

[Alter Ego]

16. He also might actually work to catch fly balls in left field.

[joeybee12]

19. Amen! n/t

[El Supremo]

9. Bay is hitting 5th.

Guess Francona doesn't have that high a regard for him.

[El Supremo]

10. And Manny is still hitting 4th.

Torrey knows what a gift he was just given.

[rinsd]

18. For a slow base-running power hitter its not a plus to be walked more often.

He's 2 for 20 with 4 walks and 1 extra base hit so far though its early.

[JenniferJuniper]

11. Welcome to the Bay State

Jason Bay!

12. Hmmm, well I don't know if you were critical when he was

with Boston, so unfortunately, I guess I can't ride you with, "oh, i see how it is....he's the second coming of Christ when he's with you team, but now when he's with someone else . . ."

At any rate, this gives me yet another reason to hate the Dodgers. **Not like I really needed any more reasons or anything!**

:puke:

[joeybee12]

13. I was never a big fan of his...sort of like you tolerate a guy when he's

on your side just to keep the peace...I've wanted him gone ever since that assault on the traveling secretary. He's always been a jerk, but he crossed the line there!

[Jack Rabbit]

14. Dodger blue doesn't do anything for him

Maybe he should have gone to Cincinnati.

[WilliamPitt]

15. Wow! A team you're *not* a fan of!!!111!

:P
