:D:Dglad to get him and Griffey out of NL central!!:)
Go Bay!!!!!!!!
For those who watch SportsCenter and/or the game last nigth, Manny doesn't make that catch, Manny doesn't leg out a triple and Manny doesn't look right in blue.
Bay is awesome, I am so happy they got him! He was my favorite guy on the Pirates, and now one of them on the SoxQuote:

Thats exactly what I was thinking as I was watching highlights. With Manny Boston doesn't win that game. BTW since becoming a Red Sox Bay has scored 100 % of Boston's runs.Quote:

woot and now he's OPSing 2.464
Been a fan of him for a while. Very happy he's here. Now to get my number 44 jersey. It can sit next to my Pedroia World Series and my Fisk jerseys.
Thats exactly what I was thinking as I watched that game. I saw a ton of things Bay did in that game that Manny wouldn't/couldn't. The catch he made (though Manny probably would've been playing shallower and wouldn't have HAD to make that catch), the triple, when Drew hit that double in the second inning, I don't think Manny would've tried to go to third on that and Drew would've been stuck with a single.Quote:

Two homers last night - and a steal. The guy has a heck of a swing. He had to change jersey numbers, from 38 to 44, because of the Big Schil? According to one source, Schilling offered to sell his #38 for a fee (to go to charity). Wonder why that didnt work out...
He seems to be fitting in well, and thanks to Youk being hot as heck, he can get some good swings as #5.

Schilling is an idiot.Quote:

And, while I don't always agree with Schilling, thank goodness there are still a few guys out there whose every friggin' answer isn't stupid athlete cliches. "We gave it 110%...they made the most of their chances..." Ugh.
