[Tournament] 2008 MLB season discussion

10 year, 275 million? Jesus Fuck. Who does he think he is, Ronaldinho?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Fixed.

From cancer to no-hitter. Amazing.

Saw that game. I think Lester the Unlikely owes Ellsbury a nice, thick, steak.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I don't mind at all that Manny left.

Jason Fucking Bay. A guy who puts up very good offensive numbers and is a muuuuch more reliable fielder than ManRam. Nothing but love for Manny, but I think this improves our championship chances, not weakens them.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Maybe he'll actually put forth some effort now that he's got a shot at a championship, though. Who knows with those craaaazy Canadians.

I said -more- reliable. As in -more reliable than Manny-. This is a long list. Here, let me give you the list. It's a good list, you'll like this list.

The List:

Who's better than Manny in the field?

Spoiler:

FUCKING EVERYBODY

Also, Griffey in Chicago. Go White Sox.

I wouldn't have, because I don't think Manny knows enough hockey to make that reference.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Like I said, though, maybe a change of pace (and winning is a Hell of a change of pace coming from the Buccos) was all he needed.

I wish him all the best with the Red Sox. Glad to see he's off to a good start.

I feel Capo's pain here. I don't share a lot of Red Sox Nation's loathing of Manny as he parts. I loved Manny. I loved his bad defense, I loved his lack of hustle, I loved all the things that made him a detriment. There is something intangible about the Ramirez experience. His childlike love of the game is infectious and let's be fair, the guy is the best highlight in the game. Who else is gonna high five a fan after making a catch in the outfield BEFORE throwing the ball into first for a double play? Nobody.

Yes, he's a one-aspect player. And yes, he's exceedingly good at it, but I wish Manny nothing but the best in his new home. I hope the fans there appreciated him, because Boston certainly did. I loved seeing him play live. It was entertaining, and let's be fair. In the game of baseball, players you can say that about are few and far between. I love Jason Bay and I welcome him with open arms, and I'm sure he'll do very well in Bean Town, but Manny is not someone to be slagged. He's upfront with what he is, and everyone knows it. I bet a lot of people in that lockerroom miss the guy.

FELIPE NO

Game 7, Tampa. Welcome to Red Sox Nation.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Don't mind Dope. He seems to get off on perennially being wrong.

The only team I would have been okay with knocking off the Sox is the rays. I think Iwamura is one of the most underrated players in baseball. don is the coach of the year. They're young and fun to watch.

Go Tampa.
