Look up what "bandwagon" means dumb shit.

It would be bandwagon being happy that we gave away one of the best hitters of all time.

Seriously this shit will hurt us. Anyone watching baseball more then 6 years would know that.

Manny's stats have been dropping off every year.

And you do remember that Manny is synonymous with "difficulty at trade deadline", right? He's been fucking around since 03, when we FUCKING PUT HIM ON WAIVERS.

I'm pissed that we lost Mossy and Hansen in the deal, also pissed we didn't get any relievers, but if we didn't deal him now, he'd be clubhouse cancer.

And you remember its been that way forever with him, right? and that we won 2 WS with him?

I am sorry, I don't think pitchers will fear Bay like they did Manny. I do not think he will be as good as Manny.

Dear Boston.

Thanks for giving us Manny and the $7million to pay the rest of his contract for LaRoche, and Morris. LaRoche may be a decent pro when he gets to play everyday, but he wasn't going to play everyday in L.A.

But anyway, thanks for giving us Manny, and not getting Kemp in the process, because seriously. MATT FUCKING KEMP AND MANNY FUCKING RAMERIEZ IN THE SAME FUCKING LINEUP? FUCK YEAH.

P.S. Think you want Juan Pierre for Josh Beckett? We'll even throw in Andruw Jones.

LOVE THE DODGERS.

Manny's stats have dropped off considerably since 2005.

Seriously, it's glaringly obvious. The days of Manny hitting .347? Over.

He does not need to hit that high to be dangerous

He's still .OPSing .926. Batting Average is an empty stat, On Base Percentage is usually a better predictor of offensive success, and he's currently at .398. He's still getting the job done, if more subtlety. He's actually better this year than he was in 2007.

The Red Sox kept on treating Manny like shit, and you expect him to keep taking it?
>> Anonymous
>>226862
Yeah, he demanded trades and would have been a cancer

Oh wait, thats what they have been saying for years. I like Bay, and if the Sox go and spent some of the money saved next year on one of the big pitchers next year, then its worth it. But to say that trading one of the Best hitters of all time is a good thing, is just plain ignorent.

Soxfag..

Bay is better in the outfield and Bay is an above average hitter.

I'm far from happy Manny is gone but getting Bay is a ton better that just getting a couple of prospects.

I'd rather have Manny but I'm not pissed that I got Bay.

this man speaks for me as well. manny was great to have, but i'm not going to baw about losing him. sox got their money's worth in this one, bay is a solid bat and a better fielder than manny. as soon as he gets as good at playing the ball off the monster as manny is, then he'll be the better player.

Manny is of course a much better hitter than Bay, but that is assuming Manny would play, which he was refusing to do. There wasn't a single player left in the clubhouse that was on Manny's side because he quit on the team.

Like they ever gave a shit about Ramirez to begin with. Also, you shit on the guy 24/7 and then you are shocked that he is unhappy? What the fuck did you expect?

I recall Boston having a long drought of playoff failure. just cant quite put my finger on when or how long though....little help?

As a Bay fantasy owner I couldn't be happier. He's in a MUCH better lineup and has some protection now. He's RBIs will go up, and his home run count will get a small boost in Fenway.

Prior to that he pissed and moaned and begged to be traded. So they put him on waivers to show him that nobody wanted to pay his contract

You still fucked with your head. Jesus Christ, we gave you a reason why Manny was tired of the bullshit, and you won't take it. Okay, here's one how about somebody leaking that he was fined $100,000, and that he intentionally choked during an at bat? Who the fuck would leak something like that? SOMEBODY IN THE RED SOX ORGANIZATION MAYBE? The Red Sox treated him like crap when it suited them.

I like how you left out the reason it was reported that he was fined $100,000 (which was corrected several hours later), he assaulted the 54 year old traveling secretary.

Or when he didn't run out a ground ball......well that happened alot.

So it's an issue now? Manny never runs out a ground out. And why would anyone needed to know he was fined for punching the guy? The whole shit could have been handled internally, but the Red Sox needed to punish Manny in the media just to fuck with his head a bit, and that's what they did.

Or maybe they needed to let the fans know that Manny couldn't go around assaulting members of the organization (Youkilis in the dugout prior) without repercussions. How do you know it was members of the front office that leaked the story and not one of Jack McCormick's friends with in the organization who was annoyed that the Red Sox were just going to sweep it under the rug.

The Yourkilis-Manny fight was due to Yourkilis acting like a little pussy after a bad at bat. Who the fuck throws shit all around as he fucks up? Yorkilis was acting like a bad teammate, and Manny was the only one man enough to take care of it.

He's an idiot for doing it in the dugout during a game. I have no problem with confrontations between players when they feel they aren't playing the right way, but do it away from the cameras where it can be handled internally. Coupling that with the McCormick incident results in an issue that needs to be addressed in the media. Manny brought that issue on himself he has no one else to blame.
