Manny A Marlin?

[OregonDuck1989]

Lugo is not a very good shortstop. Even from 2,000 miles away I can spot that. Is Jed Lowrie doing anything RedSoxRockies?

Coco is a legitimate player though. Even if he splits with Ellsbury.

[RedsoxRockies]

I like Jed Lowrie. He could be a good contact hitter with some pop and a legit glove. Even if he did not meet his expectations, he would be better than Lugo.

Lugo, I did not name a cat after, for a good reason

haha, i laughed

[ohms_law]

meh, their loosing this year anyway. Time to deal them all away...
lol

[OregonDuck1989]

Get em out of Boston.

[RedsoxRockies]

NOOOOOOo!!!!!

[HoustonGM]

Sources say a deal is on the verge of being completed sending Manny to the Marlins for 3 players...

If this is true it will be epic. It will be the curse of the Man-beano.

Wow, I didn't even know about that play last night until just now. My old fat arse could've beaten that play out. Another Manny loaf to first base, and at the time in the middle of possible no-hitter. Talk about a disregard for the history of the game, that was total crap.

No wonder we're hearing the "Red Sox are in serious trade discussions" today. After deciding to not play in a 1-0 loss to an arch rival in the opening game of a 3 game series and then not running out a possible hit to break up a no-hitter, I think I'd be in serious trade discussions to.

Wow, bottom of 5th sox down by a run with 1 out and Big Papi loafs it to first. Total disrespect for the game and the team

Seriously....no MLB player runs 100% on every ground ball. If you want to look at every at bat through a microscope of pessimism, you'll find what you're looking for.

Anyhow....its hard to believe all the rumors, just today I heard on WEEI that the Sox front office stated the media has blown the Sox/Manny relationship out of proportion, and although the Sox would look and entertain offers they are not in anyway greatly upset with the current situation. Now, I don't know if I definetly believe that, especially when you hear the opposite a few hours later.

Manny for Hermida or Bay...can't say I'd be thrilled with it. Its a significant decline in offense. I'd be more interested if a good young RP was included or prospect was included.

If they get Bay, it's not a significant decline at all. It's barely even a decline, plus it's a defensive upgrade AND Bay's a better bet for the future.

lol
What are you talking about? Papi was running his heart out on that hit!

hehe

[mnstonecold]

an who thought the trade market was slow this year. LOL

only 18 more hours to go, can it get done?

[Alloutwar]

I sincerely hope we get Bay. I'm a big Pirates fan (they're my #3 team, almost #2), and I've liked Bay for a long time.

I'm not exactly sure what I've done to obviously pi$$ you off, but if you look at my posts through a microscope of antagonism, you'll find what you're looking for too.

And yes, ANYONE who loafs on a possible hit to break up a no-hitter is disrespecting the game. And ANYONE who loafs it to first in a 1-0 game is showing disrespect for his team.

It just so happens Manny did the former last night, and chose to not even play in a big game (even though, BTW, he's getting paid like a gazillion dollars to play).

I don't like Manny's attitude. You don't like mine. Fine, we'll both just have to deal with it.

[ohms_law]

In all seriousness (which is difficult here in the middle of watching the Angels play them), I think a deal involving Manny for Bay would be excellent for the Sox. I have a hard time believing that'll happen, simply because it would be so great. I don't think the Pirates are that cheap... but then, it is the Pirates...
