Agreed. Theo has been counting down the days to Nov '09.

What a POS...gutless, classless...Manny Being Manny.

Oh for the love of Dunkin' Donuts, not another old news Manny story.

Wait until he realizes that stunt cost him 5 million or more. No one will pay him 20 million if Boston fails to pick up his option. Your performance is declining Manny. That changes the relationship dynamics a great deal.

Manny being Manny is something you can no longer afford.

You mean after all that service and hard work he put into the organization, and how he was a team leader at the plate, carried the team in their winning ways, how he was loved by all Bosox fans, and now management has a problem with him?r Are going to let him go? Poor Nomar, treated like shyyt, and thrown away like a used rag, Yes, I said Nomar, and now history is repeating. At least the owners have acknowledged Manny's contribution with this one before they shyyt can him..... In both cases, nomar was injured and it was said by many, apparently for over use of steroids, and manny is getting up there in age,

LOL

They need him so much yet they can't wait to kick him out the door. I don't blame them now. He's such a big hitter but probably an even bigger idiot.

I wonder if anyone actually read the article.....

You do know that the Angels are paying Hunter $18M per, right? Even in decline, Manny makes Torii look like Melky.

I wonder if anyone actually read the article.....

I tried to, but I Dan Shaughnessy and his writing drives me crazy. I'd like to beat him with one of the Walrus' tusks.

Hi RSB.
The guy just wants to know where he stands with the organization, option year to play out, a new long term contract, etc. I've seen Manny striking out before especially when he is looking for something inside. Rivera can do that to a guy, did he do it on purpose, who the heck knows. Manny is what 36 now? I guess he wants to know where he stands re: long term or not. and I guess the pressure had gotten to him re: the secretary.

You're right Slinky. I shouldn't say that. A Jones got 18 million after completely stinking it up in Atlanta last year. Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to what each player makes.

Still 20 million and Manny being Manny? That's a high price fro a declining slugger. I think Boston gets a new outfielder over the off season and cuts him loose.

Do they get draft picks if team declines the option?

That's a good question. I have no idea.

Manny's having a pretty good season so far.

'09 and 2010: Manny and david at dh great lefty/righty combination. With ellsbury, coco, drew, moss, in the out field, not bad. another 20 mil per yr for sure.

Manny would look thinner in pinstripes but the hair would have to go
