Bye Bye Manny!
Manny is really draggin' his arse in the OF tonight! Ellsbury just ran down a ball Manny should have had!!! I am tired of his selfish crap! Trade him or sit his arse on the bench for the duration of the season! I do not think he will be missed! Just my .02 cents!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

They should trade him to Kansas City or some place similar where he can fester for a while.  |

He looks like the creature from the movie "Predator" with that stuff growing on his head, I say trade him too but nobody wants him or his antics.

Does he have a no-trade clause in his contract? Most players of his stature do, and have to approve any trade. |

he's a 10-5 guy (he can veto any trade)
he said he wouldn't, but who knows.
if you can't trade him and you know that you don't want to keep him next year, i say tell him and and officially anounce after the trade deadline that you're not going to renew his contract next year. this will essentially make him play the rest of the season for a contract for next year, with no excuse that he's trying to get out of his deal. should at least allow you to get the most out of him for the rest of the year.

Nut case. Good batter but too much of a nut case.

He said he wouldn't block any trade deals and he would play for Iraq. His words from yesterday.
Let him go.

Sure--try and trade him to someone like the Pirates or the Giants, and see how fast that tune changes  |

Don't take Manny's words to heart, it's like getting mad at your dog for typo's.
Just keep him batting 4th, and know he was big part of bringing 2 world championships to Boston.

They should keep him and promise him they won't pick up the option at the end of the season. He'll have to perform well so he gets the long term contract he wants from another team, and the Sox get 2 high draft picks for him leaving via free agency. It's a win win.
Then, they change the locks on the door in the Green Monster. When he comes back in another uniform, he won't be able to get into the wall to relieve himself during pitching changes.

Pawtucket his arse. Fundamental rehab. On the bench. Stature this Manny, you're a benchwarmer in the minors...

Manny was not that big a part of last years championship with 19 homers and 78 rbi! He was along for the ride in my opinion!
You pick up his option for next year and you are signing him to a $20,000,000 contract! You will never get him off to another team in a trade because he is not worth $20,000,000 and no team wants a 38 year old player for that kind of money....and for only 1 season! They trade and they want a few years in the deal! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

You dont care if they start walking Ortiz like they do bonds b/c Manny isn't behind him.
I think that is vastly underrated...

i don't watch baseball much
but i have to say the Manny is the worst
example of a baseball player i have ever seen.
i watched him today... and it was ultimately
pathetic and his uniform looked
like it was 2 sizes too big.  |

Therein lies the problem Mike! Tonight he is a hero and tomorrow he is pushing the traveling secretary down the dugout stairs or complaining about how badly the team that is paying him $20,000,000 is treating him! Mike do you think cancer in the clubhouse/dugout is worth having Manny around? I bet more than a few of his team mates are ready to help him carry his bags to the curb! |

Manny wasn't along for the ride in the 2007 post season, he was behind the wheel -
"In the 2007 Postseason, Ramirez batted .348 with 4 home runs and 16 RBI." |
