The samples are tiny, but basically, Ramirez didn’t score from second on doubles to right at any different frequency this year than he had of late. One-for-one last year, two-for-four in 2006, one-for-two in 2005. The idea that he hadn’t is just something Tim McCarver invented to sound smart, to make it seem like he knew something about Manny Ramirez that informed his position. And because the people who reported McCarver’s ramblings are dedicated journalists with laminated cards and everything, they fact-checked the claim and…no, wait…I did that. Bil Burke did that.

Not only does Manny Ramirez score from first on doubles more often than Tim McCarver thinks he does, and in no different proportion post-trade than he did pre-trade, but he scores from first on doubles more often than the average baseball player. The league gets home around 37% of the time, with some of the failures being very costly outs at the plate. As shown above, Ramirez gets home around half the time, and hasn’t been thrown out at the plate on that play since 1999. If the idea is to pick on Manny Ramirez, this is the wrong place to make a stand.

Manny getting both would be historic.

He would win the World Series and then laugh crazily.

The Dodgers never had Bay.
Bay was on the Pirates.

The Dodgers gave up Andy LaRoche and Bryan Morris. As the guy above me pointed out, Bay was on the Pirates.

McCarver and Buck are Red Sox faggots; remember, they also suck Boston dick 24/7. Just listen to how much they have dissed the opposing teams of the Red Sox year after year in the Fox booth, especially the last series with Anaheim; it was all negative-Anaheim bits, positive-Red Sox bits.

Don't think this only goes for baseball in Buck's love of Boston; just listen to Buck's shitty call of the Giants winning drive in Super Bowl 42; it sounds just was like he was seeing his favorite football team choke in front of his eyes, which is likely the truth.
