Moss will probably be a Major League OF, has a good swing and has always looked decent.
Hanson has never really lived up to the hype, but he's young and has a good arm, so the right coach might turn him around. |

Wow. Has Sammy piped in yet about this. Another quake must have hit L.A. after this.
Out of all this, a couple news bits. Yankees reliever Edwar Ramirez is suspended 3 games and fined and undisclosed amout for throwing at Kevin Millar. *cough bullshit cough* Yankees trade shortstop Alberto Gonzalez to the Nationals for pitcher Jhonny Nunez. Enjoy the west coast Manny. And remember, "Do it for Joe." |

LOL Yanks fans booed Pudge after striking out in his first at-bat with the team.
That trumps the Mets fans supposedly giving Beltran a clean slate in 2006 after his bad 2005.....only to boo him after an 0-for-4 Opening Day ![]() |

there's a rumor on a local news station that the team voted and everyone except 1 person wanted to get rid of Manny.

lol wow, still can't get over how sweet this deal is for us. BUUUUUUUT, it creates an outfield problem. If I'm Torre, I say fuck Pierre and Fatdruw, start Manny at left, Kemp at center, Ethier at right.
THAT is a SEXY outfield. |

Also I heard Schilling caused some controversy earlier in the morning and upset David Ortiz with his comments about Ramirez or something, I haven't heard them myself so I dunno how true it is or whatever but I wouldn't doubt it. I am glad Schilling helped bring 2 World Series championships to Boston but that guy cannot keep his mouth shut. Dude should probably focus more of his time on his wife's SHADE foundation, seeing how one of their programs is offering free showings at movies theaters during the afternoon to children to keep them out of the sun. Wow great idea

Oh? They could still bring him back and switch numbers if they really wanted (Cano was #22 before) Obviously this won't happen but I am failing to see any significance.
I am still waiting for them to give out #21 in Boston |

#24 is retired for Walter Alston, the manager who lead them to their first World Series
Maybe #34? |

Loads of Mets fans are bitching at Omar for not making any moves. Tbh, while I would have liked to see a bullpen arm and a right-handed hitting outfielder (nothing flashy, just a couple extra pieces), I'm really not bothered. I don't know what people wanted Omar to do...it seemed pretty obvious to me that by trading 4 of the top 6 prospects in the Mets' system for Johan, we were gonna be sticking to our guns at the deadline.
Omar's usually pretty good at working the waiver wire and getting players that way, so I trust him. He refused to trade OF Fernando Martinez, LHP Jon Niese, RHP Bobby Parnell, RHP Eddie Kunz, or 2B Dan Murphy...and I'm glad. Kunz could very well be called up straight from AA to the MLB bullpen soon because he has nasty stuff...and I wouldn't be surprised if all 5 guys wound up on the big league roster in September (though I doubt they'd play much if the Mets are still in the thick of it). |

I have no problem with him speaking his mind. I haven't heard about Ortiz being pissed off, but wouldn't shock me, him and manny were close and having Jason Bay behined you isn't the same as having Manny. Although the rumor is Ortiz goes to cleanup and Bay hits 3rd. |

Plenty of guys go on radio shows and do say shit which gets people upset, Schilling is one of the most hated players in baseball for a reason. Dude is a huge douchebag with a strong opinion on everything who needs to let EVERYONE know about his strong opinions, perfect fit for WEEI though I guess.

dunno if you've heard him when he's in with D&C in the morning, but they ask him to comment on this stuff, he doesn't say "here's what I want to talk about" a lot of players don't like him for his stance on the whole Roids thing... but that was fine with me. but no question his opinions at time do piss people off. |

Did anyone ask him about the kind of leader Kobe is? (Just one example) Dude is a douchebag plain and simple off the field, on the field he was great though.
Dennis and Callahan are also douchebags though, so I guess its just a great fit all together |

This Manny deal sucked for Boston. Giving up Brandon Moss Craig Hansen and Manny for Jason fucking Bay. Nothing against Bay, he's good and all, be he's certainly no Manny. Manny only had two months before he could have been released, Theo should have waited until then rather than making a crappy deal just to make a deal. I understand all the shit he's done, but that doesn't take away from his ability on the field and the fact that he lead us to two titles.
He will be a beast in LA though, no doubt about that. It sucks since they have five outfielders already (correct me if I'm wrong Dodger fans). It'll be fun to see how Joe handles him and if he gets a starting spot right away (I would think so since LA needs the bat). The Pirates made out pretty well in this deal, landing Andy LaRoche and minor-leaguer Bryan Morris in addition to the aforementioned players from the Sox. The Bucs now have a decent third baseman, a pitcher with a good arm who needs direction, an outfielder who will be good, and a prospect (don't know how good he is). I get that Theo wanted to get rid of him, but it was a lot to give up just to get Jason Bay and just for the sake of dealing him. |

Yeah we have 5 outfielders now.
Pierre Ethier Kemp Manny Fatdruw Gonna start Eth, Kemp, and Manny, I'm sure. Pierre will get some playing time for Ethier, I believe, and Jones will rarely play, and it will be awesome. |

That's why I'm kind of surprised LA got in on that deal. One good thing for them is that Andruw Jones will probably be relegated to late-game defensive replacement.

He really did it? I heard that last night on a different message board last night but then when i checked the roster online it said 28, haha that's great. Manny is still the man in my book
Also Jason Bay hit a triple in 12th and ended being the scoring run for Lowery's walk-off single against the A's, nice start to his Red Sox career. Would have been better if it was a walk off home run (almost was) |
