I totally agree. It is all about the pitching. I would have felt better if the Sox could have at least added a decent arm in the bullpen, and it is still...
Like what? The Sox get only Jason Bay. They had no leverage in this deal, the Pirates could have simply waited and traded Bay in the off season, and I'm not...
I agree with what has already been said - Manny had to go, he didn't want to be here any longer and would have brought the team down. The Red Sox did give up...
Who knows. Maybe the pitching staff was getting torqued off at Manny and wasn't producing because of it. Any fresh blood in the clubhouse, no matter what...
Without doing the research, I have always wondered in reality how much Manny contributes to team success. When I think of Manny in left field what I flash to...
Earl Weaver had a great defensive shortstop in Mark Belanger; but he usually played Len Sakata because he was a better hitter and ok with the glove, and...
Can't argue a great point Sean, however, LOL, the proverbial however, you still don't address the issue.. I take what Remy says with a grain of salt. He is...
I have never liked fielding stats; too many variables. Unless you are comparing two players playing the same position over a long period of time, those...
Look, Sean, this has to stop !!! Using reason and logic is not permitted lol. Your point on Manny's total production versus what his defense might be a ...
...sorry I've been lurking so long; I used to post more, but it's been really busy. However, I, too, think Manny needed to go because his antics were draining...
Did anybody else see the story on the Globe website today (it might be in the Globe, too, but I live in indiana and don't see print) that, after being notified...
Just last week, someone had sent a post wanting to know what happen to the group. Since the Manny deal  the group is alive and well. I was really happy to...
 Yes, I agree. Even if Manny was hustling, that hit would have been a double, as it would be for most players. Bay brings some speed and significant...
Ya know, I though about this just the night of the trade. The Sox could have gone to Manny and his agent a few weeks ago and simply told them they would not be...
Just my .02, but Manny was also known to make some key throws at times to eliminate baserunners, at some pretty clutch times. Joe Torre from what I've seen...
In my opinion, we all knew, for several years, quite well that Manny Ramirez had significant character flaws. You knew it when he didn't spend time with...
Going to be my last post on this whole Manny issue as it seems to me that some people (both fans and media) have been waiting eagerly to just bash Manny and so...
OK...great response Rich, but where does one go from this point in responding to you when you declare that this is your final post on the matter? You responded...
I didn't want to carry this on purely because the whole topic of Manny really should be for the past now and as you say it is only going to go around in...
Undoubtedly, and much of it was without proof, which was my problem with it. It's one thing to report on him talking on a mobile behind the scoreboard (we have...
Rich, Your defense of Manny is as extreme to the positive as some of the agenda driven media hatchet dweebs who slammed Manny at every opportunity. You make it...
There is much I disagree with here, some of which is just plain patently wrong and can be proven as such. However, to be honest I am tired of this to-ing and...
Regarding the management/press bashing of Manny, the Sox management is masterful with handling the press in Boston. There are a lot of sportswriters all...
I don't doubt for a minute that Manny lobbied to stay at the last minute. He, like many observers including me, likely believed the Sox management would...
LOL< Rich... Uhmm.. did Manny Ramirez quit on the Red Sox in 2006? Yes or no? Why wasn't he placed on the DL by the Red Sox? Was a point being made then? Just...
Already answered that claim with a reasonable explanation of what COULD have caused Manny not going on the DL on that occasion. Enough already :-) Cheers Rich...
First, I always liked Manny because of his hitting, and, the fact that I enjoy watching colorful ballplayers. But, his attitude and baserunning (or lack...
