    Bostonownsyou is obviously very upset, but his fears may not be totally unfounded. I fear that Bay's inadequacies as compared to Manny will be resented as they are exposed to RSN night after night. I could see him being the target of boo birds within a month.

    I skipped work as usual to see opening day the year we got Manny and I was really excited to see him. He was already a huge superstar and he hit a Homer on the first pitch he saw if I remember correctly. I knew then that a new era had dawned for the Red Sox.

    The truly infuriating thing is that the Pirates got 4 good quality prospects for Bay when they got 4 so-so prospects for Marte and Nady combined.

    Three players and $7 million for Jason Bay. The Red Sox got shafted. The Dodgers got Manny for free for two prospects. The Pirates got 4 guys for Bay. We got the short end of the deal by a long shot.

    ...and he was tremendously entertaining while forming one-half of a historic tandem.

    Nothing new there.

    In '04, an unproductive injured player was traded, and the guys we received in return upgraded the defense. OCab and Minky were Gold Glovers and Dave Roberts brought the element of speed. He got thrown out 1 time in over 30 attempts up to that point. Where would the upgrades be here? Bay is a downgrade and Grabow is an average bullpen guy.

    That is this year. Have you checked the rest of their careers?

    Why would we want Grabow? He's an average NL bullpen guy in a low pressure town. 4.35 career ERA. http://www.baseball-reference.com/g/grabojo02.shtml

    Bay strikes out 140-150 times every year. He is not even close at this age to the aging Manny. We will hate this guy within a month.

    The problem with trading Manny is that Theo is a Menage a trois guy. He can never just make a two team trade. He always is working on three and four team scenarios. It is hard enough to get two teams to agree on the money, players and prospects. It's much more difficult to tie down a three team deal.
  15. a700hitter
    He was injured and he didn't have 20 HRs and almost 70 RBI at the deadline.

    I noticed Manny touching fists with another plater in the 9th inning on the bench. Maybe he knows that he's out of town.
  18. a700hitter
    This is the sloppiest game that I have seen them play in a long time.
  19. a700hitter
    He gives it right back.
  20. a700hitter
    He was holding up 4 fingers after the walk to Manny.
  21. a700hitter
    Is he going to walk Lowell too?
  22. a700hitter
    Will he stop acting out and will all of this die down if the trading deadline passes and he is stiill with the Red Sox? A few years ago, he was saying that they got to get me out of here and then the dealine passed and he Pinch Hit and everything calmed down.
  23. a700hitter
    Maybe they are beginning to measure this guy Saunders.
  24. a700hitter
    Am I dreaming or did Crisp just hit a shot into the Monster seats?
  25. a700hitter
    You risk losing the DH if it goes extra innings.
