this is why the mets are 2nd banana in NY

manny is a slob but he is one of (and still is ) the best Right handed batters of ALL TIME

So you go to war with Tatis/endy ...........
enjoy watching the playoffs from your couch

The mets HAVE to make this deal. I HATE manny but from the mets side, you have to get this done. You NEED that bat

I don't think it would happen anyway. Who would we trade?

Gotta have a couple minor leaugers the sux like...mabye throw Castillo in there..who cares whatever you have to do, do it. and Im a Yanks fan saying this

mabye i just want him out the AL East...lol

Baseball players I'm sick of hearing about on this day, at 0700 hours, CDT, one half hour after I've gotton out of bed: Manny Ramirez. End list.

I think Manny is on LSD. He is currently seeing himself as a pro NFL player who is holding out for training camp because of a contract dispute. He is an immature and a selfish player. BUT BUT BUT he is one heck of a good player. The SOX WILL NOT TRADE HIM. NO WAY. Not this late and no one would be interested. Oops. Maybe there would be teams that would be interested BUT he is just like Bonds. He attracts the whole media because of his antics but he earns his paycheck(like Bonds). But no way would the Sox trade him. They would go from a World Series Favorite to a world series spectator. Several teams would be interested.

1.) Angels- They could use him as a DH. I do not see them trading for him though.

2.) Yankees- or maybe not.

3.) Tampa Bay- Veteran Presence and World Series Experience.

4.) Every other contender out there

BUT no one would bite and his no-trade clause just makes it harder. The Red Sox would probably ask for someone that can provide right now and fill the Gap that he would be living (and it sure is a big one) and I just do not see anyone biting on that. Except for maybe Milwaukee who is really desperate to win right now(Sabathia and Sheet are most likely to walk away) But I think they are pretty descent in left field with Ryan Braun so they won't have any use for Manny. So it all leads to Manny being released after this season. If the Sox win it all again I can see him walking away and making big money somewhere else. They would not pick him up. They are better off spending there 20million somewhere else rather to a player who makes a circus every spring training and sits out for no reason when you need him the most. Case closed.

One more thing. Why not offer him for Matt Holliday? Hmmmm, makes perfect sense right? The Rockies who are still in it or at least that's what they think would get world series experience which they really lacked last year and the Sox would get almost the same production(Chill people I said almost) The Sox would be the obvious winner from the trade(younger, less media,more dedicated to winning) but the Rockies won't be losers. They get a Very good player in Ramirez. BUT BUT BUT He should be willing to waive his no-trade clause first in order for this to happen and that obviously is almost impossible. Beantown to Colorado is like Los Angeles to uhmm Colorado. haha. You get my point.

Manny Ramirez would fit in perfectly on the Mets with Reyes, Beltran, Delgado, and those other clowns!

he's going to the Angels

Yeah, he'll fit right in with Scioscia's disciplined, business first approach to the game. Manny on the LAA would be a disaster in my opinion.

At some point in the game, the benches will clear.

Morning all!
Today it is no-no Lester vs give me another drink Ponson:))
Any predictions??

You'd think Boston would be able to win ONE AT HOME, now wouldn't you..... I can't imagine what your avatar is going to look like on Monday, Becca.... <cringing>

Back on topic.... Manny better hope the Sox re-up.... I don't see him getting $20M from anyone else.....

Good AM, Rebecca.
Re Manny: he ain't going anywhere, he is staying with the RedSox.
And as far that other item regarding the BoSox: it is broom time. Sorry ladies. :)

what was that word again: what do they have to do with Holliday? Sorry, it isn't innuendo time yet. :))))
