Giants interested in Manny?

The Giants could become the biggest threat to the Dodgers' hopes to retain Manny Ramirez. Giants people said early this winter that they may make a run at one of the "big three" free agents, and with CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira off the board, their attention could turn to Ramirez, a rare player who could replicate what Barry Bonds gave the Giants. While the Dodgers remain the favorites to sign Ramirez, they would prefer to keep him a two-year contract. Their original two-year, $45 million proposal was withdrawn, but they are expected to propose something else soon. It isn't known what other teams will pursue Ramirez. But with the Giants in the mix, it might be difficult for the Dodgers to stick to that two-year stance.

You mean SirThrobbin? I hope not. His commenst are quite boring to say the least. At least that ThereWolf or TherWolfy whatever he calls himself had a little sports stuff to speak of. Madam Robin makes a living on this site talking all day and nite about nothing.

Umm, I'm not sure I should be talking to you? Aren't you the fake Tony?

I root for the Jays, but then again there usually isn't too much to root for these days.

Blessed 2009 to you as well.

I, personally, would rather see Manny stay on the west coast ... though it would re-ignite the Yankee/Red Sox rivalry and make the season interesting if he ends up in NY.

Happy New Year fake Tony ... the flatulence fetish king (or queen?) :)

January 2, 2009  08:02 AM ET

So nice to see you have made NO thread-related remark as of yet. You are one to talk sir/madame?

January 2, 2009  08:03 AM ET

Just hatin' as usual ... hating people for who they root for or where they live. You are a prince among men (or a princess among little girls?)!

January 2, 2009  08:04 AM ET

C'mon, bring on the flatulence jokes!!! Those are always so insightful and amusing.

January 2, 2009  08:04 AM ET

not

I'd really love to stick around while you dazzle us with your rapier wit. But alas, there are things to do, places to go, people to meet. I shall return and see what widsom you have shared later on. I'm sure it will be well worth the wait.

January 2, 2009  08:11 AM ET

Not.

Me-owt!

January 2, 2009  08:51 AM ET

Good luck to any team who gets him !! just wait until his contract is ready to expire and he starts with the knee,hamstring,my grandfather is sick,I dont want to play the field today,all the crap us Sox fans put up with last year..asta lavista Manny !!!!!

January 2, 2009  09:01 AM ET

Good morning all.
Just have to keep him on a short leesh. Keep him in perpetual contract year.
Anyone think that the Giants are just being thrown out there so that Boa$$ can try to make teams think there is a market for him?

January 2, 2009  09:25 AM ET

the Giants should go back to the tried and true of Bonds ... forget Manny ... LOL

Happy New Year ...

Hey Allstarz, Cat how ya doin..............As for the fake tony: You ain't the Original. You're just a fake imposter with no baseball knowledge, no wit and with absolutely no intestinal fortitude............. you have been put in your place since you started your masquerade by all whom you attack. You continue to FM me. I will tell you now as I have told you in the past but this time for all to see.... I will not accept your invite to be your friend until you come clean. You started as a troll on these here threads. You were deleted by the mods. You transferred your distain for this rejection to my avatar. I pity you.

It is good to see that I have missed nothing over the past few weeks of sabatical from the hallowed halls of FN and the fakes are still out there trying to be whatever they are trying to be. Happy New Year to all those that are real and here is a hope that the phonys of life can get a life.
