i'm hearing rumors that manny go traded to the dodgers, i can't access any of the boston sports sites, so there might be some truth to it... innernetz blowing up

Flavorful, your boy Bay plays in Tampa now.
- Greedo0
I think Manny makes almost as much as the entire Marlins, how's that gonna work out? No way can they afford to sign him for next year... And why not trade Bay, he's not doing you any good with a below .500 team...
- He's the only fucking player on our G-ddamn team. He has said constantly he wants to play in Pittsburgh his whole career.********
- NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY IN PITTSBURGH, hahah.********
- Our new GM is trying to leave a mark ... by doing exactly what has put us in this position the past 16 years.********
- At least this year we're not filling up the Cubs roster like we usually do.********
- The Pirates are a fucking Triple AAA club in the Majors. It's fucking so aggravating following them.********
- Triple AAA is a little harsh - but basically we're a farm system team for every other MLB practically.********
- so's tampa, so's kansas city, so's colorado... small markets cant really compete unless they get luckyGreedo
- umm Col was in WS last yearBattleAxe

If the Pirates get rid of Jason Bay ... this may finally be the nail in the coffin for me.
- ... Granted I'm already going to Philly next weekend to see them play, haha.********
- Philly drinks? Hahahajasontroj
- Haha quite possibly, I fly in at like 02:30PM(EDT) and will start boozing it up something ridiculous until Monday.********
- ... Granted I'm already going to Philly next weekend to see them play, haha.

- We're going all the way kids, make no mistake, D-backs are entering a world of hurt.JG_LB
- Getting into the playoffs with a sub .500 team wouldn't give me much optimism.
jasontroj - Stranger things have happened. There's a lot of good things going on in LA. I can feel it, stats aside.JG_LB
- If anything, this portrait of Torre is quality.JG_LB
- LA: "arrive by the 3rd, leave by the 7th"Greedo
- Eh.JG_LB

Threadpost, if they get rid of Manny they are going to be getting Jason Bay who is pretty productive and will be in a situation that may help him even more. A healthy David Ortiz is a help too. I wouldn't rule out a repeat, but it's near impossible these days to not do that.
I love / hate Manny Ramirez. I love his production, but hate his attitude, and I think the funniest part of this trade is that they are going to send him to a stadium that hasn't sold out a game in years.
Angels pretty much sealed up their destiny anyway regardless of these trades.

WHITESOX!! We got Griffey...it's time for him to follow in his pops footsteps

Go Angels!
We're looking good this year and should be even better now we have Teixeira.

If the sox send Manny to florida, they wont even make the playoffs. so long boston dynasty!
my predictions then:
AL = Angels (al west), Twins (al central), devilrays (al east), yankees (al wildcard)
NL = Dodgers (nl west), Cubs (al central), mets (nl east), marlins (nl wild card)
world series = angels vs cubs(wish it were the dodgers)...angels win.- rays rays...shit I cant stop saying devilrays.threadpost
- i'd actually like to see the rays going somewhere, i just dont think they can hang on...Greedo
- mostly road games for them in august, and they've kinda been sucking it up...Greedo
- if the red sox dont make the playoffs this year, that hardly means end of dynasty, sonGreedo
- the loss of manny does.threadpost

Just got home from Chavez Ravine...what a game! Billingsly's first shutout! And they play to end the game; another beauty by Russel Martin (who had 2 RBIs tonight)! Dodgers and Angels in the WS.
You heard it here first.
- not a chance, though that would be my dream! cept I think halos would dominate...GO BLUE!threadpost

Brewers vs. Cubs tonight for game three. cross your fingers that the Brewers dont blow chunks tonight, again.

Yea smooth fucking move. Farnsworth is actually fucking good for Christ's sake.
Why do the Yankees hate pitching so much, haha?
- mrdobolina0
4 game series between brewers and cubs in milwaukee, fights, jailtime and all that shit is going on the past couple of nights. 2 more games to go.
- tonight at 8 EST. I've got cold beer in the fridge waiting for first pitch.stoplying
- good times.mrdobolina
- hahaa nice. There is nothing like baseball, especially with a good rivalry (even more so with winning teams).********
- there is only like 90 miles between the cities too.mrdobolina

Detroit trades Pudge to the Yankees for Farnsworth!
WTF is Detroit thinking?
- katekelly0
I voted for Longoria (when the whole Hart push was happening here)...good to see a rookie kick ass at the All-Star game
- It's great seeing the young bucks pick it up like the late 90's with Chipper and Jeter.********
- and look at them today (while I hate Jeter, hes still got it...). Chipper was STILL amazing as a ph WHILE injured. They don't make 'em like that anymore...katekelly
- Full Disclosure .. I've been a huge Bomber fan since Rickey Henderson in the 80's.********
- Being said... I've been to 4 Bucco/Bomber games 100% Pirated out regular season.********
- And 3 Spring Training Games at Tampa and Brandenton, haha.********
- Bradenton*********
- oh shit! good ol' ricky. haha i've gotta say, i've always liked the 'crew, but ryne sandberg was my guykatekelly

i can't believe Evan Longoria made it and got the hit in the 8th! it's pretty cool to see a high school buddy doing it so big...
BUT Russel Martin ftw
