How easy they forget
July 26, 2008

If Papi wasn’t in tonight’s lineup I know Manny would have been in at DH, the man is hurting and couldn’t play the field period.. I’m sick of all this Manny is trying to get back at management crap. That fine was levied weeks ago and you think he waited until the Skanks were in town to pull some payback power play on the “Suits” please. Manny is in his option year and knows exactly how important his play on the field is to his future. He may rattle a few cages in the press but he isn’t going to hang his teammates out to dry! That isn’t his style. Manny has more pressure on him night in and night out than anyone on this team. At the beginning of this season He had two close friends in that locker room two men who understood who he is and what makes him tick. One was cut “Tavarez” and Papi who has been out hurt himself and not in the locker-room for close to two months. Meanwhile Manny is left to carry the load.with no one really to lean on or blow off steam with. Do you think JD would have put up the numbers he did in the first half if he wasn’t hitting in front of the Scariest bat in the game today? Let me answer that for you HELL NO. do you think if the situation had been reversed and it was Manny and not Ortiz out all this time we would still be in this race? I digress HELL NO. if Manny says he’s hurting he’s hurting! The rest of you calling for his head know where you can go… Hell, no? or cable access your choice

I agree about JD, but totally disagree about Ortiz. It is Ortiz, not Manny, who is the 'Baddest' bat in the line-up. When it comes down to who another team needs to walk, Ortiz or Manny, I think you'll find that they walk Ortiz to get to Manny far more times than pitch to Ortiz. As for the 'two friends who understand who he is' a) How do any of us know that? b) What does that have to do with playing baseball? We would all give our right arms to play this game,and I'm not calling for his head. It's just not about Manny, it's about the Red Sox team! And I bet as a teammate, each guy would say the same thing, only they aren't allowed to, or won't, because he is just that, a teammate. Think of it as your own teammate, nobody is above the team, no matter what the talent level. And if you can't agree, you've never played team sports and/or never been a team player. ...View More

It's just one of those weird things; when we lose a tough game somebody's gotta take the blame. Lugo's on the DL so we might as well blame Manny.

See this is the reason why I left the Boston Globe blog page. Here real fans talk not some wacko's out there saying we need to get rid of Manny .. and I go WTF is this people smoking. Yesterday was a perfect example of what the Sox would look like minus Manny. We can't scared the opposition if our big bats are not there(Dustin,Ortiz and Manny). Also all this talk from some fans and wackos alike saying we should trade for Holliday not going to happen. Rockies are smart and want too much in return and straight up trades never happen with that team. Hamilton from the Rangers either after the Arod fiasco Mr Hicks said no more trade to AL contenders un lest we get a lot of cash and a lot of players. All I can say is 'GO MANNY GO" And get well my Friend we need you today :) ...View More

I do feel like people have forgotten. A couple of months ago, everyone had a Manny sign, and a "500" sign...how quickly we forget... *SIGHS*
