Hey, don't get me wrong about Manny. Trust me, I do love his hitting when he's hitting and its consistant. I just find it annoying that he half-asses EVERYTHING else. Thats really all. I'm already pining for his hitting...and Ortiz's.....I'm fuckin psyched for this season. Its gonna be awesome.

listen to you guys! get a hold of yourselves! if we didn't have manny in 2004 we wouldnt have a world series ring! sure ortiz was clutch in the playoffs, but manny was consistently clutch that entire year. imagine if we traded him before the season? we definitely wouldnt have had the season we did.
also, if manny is gone, ortiz turns into some dude that just walks a lot.

Sure he's lazy, sure he complains sometimes.. but you know what..who freakin cares? The sox need him more than ever this year so just be glad he's back.
And the man can be clutch at times too. I recall a certain big 3-run HR in game 5 of the ALDS vs the As in 03. I was there and I will never forget it! My fav Manny memory of all time. Probably the most amazing game I was ever at!

Guys, chill, I'm just as big of a fan.....the difference being is that I'm not one of those Sox fans that goes blindly forward no matter what.
I love Manny for his batting and cannot stand his lack of effort on the field. Bottom line. Don't hate cause I'm right.
BTW, I watch 99% of the games every year and get to as many games as my budget and schedule allow. Just in case you think I'm a fair-weather or "since the won again" fan.

Whatever opinion you may have of him, manny can change it with 1 swing of the bat. there are very few players i can say that about. nuff said.

i got tix to the 2nd home game...i'm fucking stoked.
even though i don't really know what to expect this year, it's like a completely different team.
- designaked0
Ya, a completely different team, that if everyone (or almost everyone) plays up to their expectations then we are going to destroy every other team out there.
Its really exciting.....for me its because, on paper, we kick complete ass but no one really knows how this group of guys will come together.

Foulke is having injections in his knees.
Anyone else say Craig hanson?

enrique wilson is on the sox now? wtf? missed that signing.
- pyeaton0
matty, he is a non roster invitee. i am sure they will keep him around as a sort of "coucilor troy" for manny.
hey, i like manny. love him on the sox...etc.... but holy shit! $20M a year, show up, and play.
Joey cheek at the olympics donated his bonus to children's charity, and manny cant even get to camp on time. WTF? But hey, at least he's there. probably nice for him to get away from the wife.

manny sucks. i could care less how good his bat is, his attitude sucks and it shows. it brings down the morale of his team mates and makes the entire team weaker.
who wants to play baseball with a guy who hates playing baseball for that team?!?
frank thomas is a perfect example except the sox kept him 5 years too long. he was out 80% of last season and the teams attitude completely changed. i'm just glad he was mia for most of the season, and by the time he and his wife did come back to be the soxs' biggest fans it was too late and they were already on a roll.
fuck him and fuck manny. boston needs to get rid of him and cut their losses and get guys on the team who will give their heart and soul to win.

Kona, come on man, you wouldn't want Manny's bat in your lineup?
Whether the heart and soul is in there or not, Manny helps Boston win.

I'd want him if he wanted to play in my city, if for the past two years he's been trying to get out then hell no let him go.

anywhere manny goes he is going to be the same. so id rather him be like that on my team and protect ortiz than be manny on some other team.
