As usual, the Pittsburgh Pirates received peanuts, a sack of baseballs, a song, and a PTBBL (player to be born later) when they traded Jason Bay. There are many reasons why the Pirates have had losing seasons for 18 straight years, and the "prospects" they receive from their annual garage sales are one of them.
I'm a Pirates' fan. We should have made Andre Ethier the centerpiece of this trade. I thought we should've gotten Andre Ethier in this deal, and early reports were that Ethier was included in the package, but apparently, something happened. Man, Ethier would look great in that Pirate outfield along side McLouth. Moss is a good player, though.
Well I'm a Dodger fan and I can say that we got extremely lucky that we didnt have to give up Ethier, Kemp or Loney in this deal. Instead we gave andy laroche who at one time was the best hitting prospect in our farm system, but never lived up to the hype in the majors. But personally i dont think management will ever trade away any of those 3 so sorry buddy. dang pirates fans got screwed again
i will love manny as a player for ever. i dont like his actions dealing with management & pushing people on the ground over tix and stuff. but hes in our hearts for ever. but it was for the best.
Manny is in LA where it is at. Southern California...... the weather and the skating could not get any better. unlike boston where it is like a fishbowl, that is why manny got sick of it.
yep former bostonian Ryan Gallant moved out west. in fact he lives 2 houses down from me and i could possibly skate his mini ramp tomarrow.
wow ryan gallant's still a sox fan stupid. So is PJ. PJ threw out the first pitch for the sox. pretty much what you just said is "the dodgers are better than the sox because LA is nicer weather. you pretty much you are fucking retarded
What a douche-bag to even think Boston wins in this trade. Even back then. Manny is one of the greatest hitters ever. Suck it up, and deal with it. Comes with the territory.
games are boring with out manny here in boston ! i get up every morning to watch dodgers highlights because of manny , freankin theo he suuckkkkkkkkkkkkkss, GO DOGERSSSSSSSSSS !!!!
red sox are not going to get to playoffs and are going to see the dodgers led by manny in the world series and they are going to regret they traded him
Dude hell yeah, im a dodgers fan, but I always watched the red sox play because of Manny Ramirez, But now he joined the Dodgers and now im so happy. Big Ups to Manny!
if i was a sox fan i woulve cried when manny left. i wouldnt care about the distractions in the bullpen, manny did great things for boston. im a vikes fan and i coulda cried when moss left. it was all downhill after that until adrian peterson. anyways i guess it got to the point where they had to trade manny and they got jason bay. i guess it wasnt bad but this marks the decline of the sox. ortiz is the next to go. Nady going to the yanks actually helped them out though
You know I'm so sick of those Red Sox fans that say "good-bye and good ridance." For God's sake this man won you two World Series titles in 7 1/2 years he's been with the team and made it to the playoffs 4 years he's been in Boston. I know he left on a bad note, but he was the World Series MVP in 2004 which was the first World Series Champioship in Beantown in 86 years. So quit busting his balls and thank him for all that he has done
allt he red sox fans still appreciate all he did (at least i know i do), but we were all getting sick of manny being manny. throwing down team reps, pushing teamates in the dugout, and purposely not playing at the best of his ability. it was kind of getting old. give the my fellow sox fans a couple of months to realize how much he meant to this city, and they will have a different outlook on manny.
this guy might be a great hitter, no question, but as a man i have my doubts about him, he is only happy when he goes to "toys R us" every season he was whining about everything and wanted out of boston, now he got it..boston got a 7 yrs younger player who can play defense and wont be any distraction..dodgers fans will find out who is manny ramirez
sure boston fans are saying finally he is gone but as a cleveland fan where manny got his start he is the reason why the sox won the 2 world series that they did before big papi came to boston he was a below average hitter with the twins cause he had no help ramirez made ortiz but manny is the greatest hitter when it counts now that my indians are done for the year i wouldnt mind seeing dodgers-red sox in series that would be highly rated and if that happens i say dodgers in 6 over bosox
Oh come on Ortiz had How many Walf-Off Hits. UNCOUNTABLE. I do believe that Jason BAy is a Better allround player than Manny. Bay can Field, steal a base, and hit. Bay does have a blow average arm, but it's not gonning to be a problem at Fenway with that Green Monster. I do believe the Red Sox gave up too much, but in the end you could get 7 more great seasons out of Bay, and only get 1 or 2 more out of Manny.
i've heard some talk that ramirez won't be on the dodgers for that long. . .radio stations out here are talking about how he's merely a rental for two months. does anyone agree with that? where else could he end up after the season's over? (outside of Yankee Stadium b/c they'll we know Steinbrenner's story)
i live in pittsburgh and let me tell you Sox fans your getting a very good ball player. how can you say your losing alot by trading Manny? bay has more HR's than Manny and a couple less RBI's and a better batting average. and he is a hell of a better fielder. he'll hustle his ass off too. if he hits a ground ball he'll run it out and he beats out alot of them. so i gotta wish J-Bay all the luck in the world. and again, you Sox fans got a very good ball player!
allright our boy bay will never qutie have the power the ramierez does but he is 1000000x more well rounded then mannual. I say good riddence to manny and yes I know my username says MannyRforlife I mad ehtis account when he was still trying for the sox
FarCry21....your a retard if you were jason bays cousin you would be a red sox cuz his family are red sox fans and it doesnt matter what team your "cousin" plays for you root for them no matter what
u think that the yankees are goin to make the play offs or the wild card and redsox wont wow u no nothin. jason Bay is a great baseball player but not better then manny tho but he is younger and bay runs if he grounds out and a better fielder. GOOD LUCK WITH joba chamberlain and richie sexson that does nothing for you guys and your ACE that got ROCKED by the baltimore orioles lol yeah im sure there goin to make it over the redsox
AHHHHHHHHH! I can't fucking wait 'til tonight! It's gonna be fucking siiiiiick! It's been twenty years since the Dodgers have won the championship. We are long over due for another championship ring.
its over, its over. the red sox r gunna lose because ramirez is gone. us sox fans should face reality and now become yankee fans while we still can. *cry, cry*
"Jason Bay isn't nearly the offensive player that Manny Ramirez is."
What a fucking joke. Look at their stats for this year. They are nearly identically. Bay is also faster, a better fielder, and a better teammate than Manny. ESPN has their heads buried so far up the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, and Mets asses it isn't even funny. I stopped watching this channel for my sports info because it is so biased.
Jason Bay gave Pirates fans something to celebrate. He will be sorely missed.
That is true, Bay's stats are identical to Ramirez's. But when the 9th inning comes, and there are runners in scoring position with 2 outs left, who would you rather have at the plate? You ask 20 managers, probably all of them will say Manny. Bay is still young, he hasn't proven whether he is clutch or not.
man i miss manny. thx for the great memmories manny. naw dodgers suk without manny :(
