Now that Manny is gone, i can say the yankees will make the playoffs this year. Good deal for the other teams just not the sox's.

Enjoy the inconsistent effort and the random asking out of the lineup. He showed at the end of his time in Boston that it had to be all about him. All he wanted to do was make sure that he is a free agent after the season and it looks like he got that. He gave up on his teammates and put the organization is a bad spot.

This is best news ever, even better then the yankees getting an all star pitcher (well not really but close). Now that manny is gone there is absolutely no way the red sox will make the playoffs, they are already in a bad skid with him and he was doing good, now they have nothing, this is great!

Re: Manny a Dodger!

well with Manny to the Dodgers and the Dodgers comin to AZ next season my autograph wish list for next spring just got longer. I managed to get Torre, Garciaparra,Jones and Kemp when the Dodgers came to AZ from China last spring but still have a few others to nab.

Anyone know if Koufax or other former Dodgers hang around their camp during spring?

How will this affect Manny's Game Used gear especially his Red Sox stuff. I just bought a Manny GU jersey and an M9 slugger.

Being a huge Manny fan, I was really dissapointed of his actions on and off the field this season. I do agree he was selfish and put himself first before the team, I think the Red Sox will be a better team without him and will rebound, Jason Bay coming over from the Pirates is hitting .282, with 22 HR's, 64 rbi's and 7 SB's, so he's no slouch. Dont count the Red Sox out, still a lot of games to be played!

Re: Manny a Dodger!

Being that I'm a Yankee fan, I don't like the Red Sox. With that said, I don't see why people come down on Manny. Yes, he's a character, but I don't see where he is that much of a problem. Good bat. Average defense. Pitchers still fear him.

Why get rid of him now? Stupid. But thanks Boston, we Yankees fans appeciate it!

Very well said, I would compare jason bay's numbers to that of jason giambi's. Now with that said, neither player could even be closely compared to manny. I would much rather manny on my team then giambi. Also Manny was the official yankee killer, and without him im sure we will win many more series against the loser sox. Great Trade Boston!

Not sure how closely you have followed the situation but Manny forced the trade by bitching about his contract and asking not to play in games(claiming he was hurt etc..) Had they not traded him it was a good possibility that he would have stopped playing altogether(like he did a few seasons ago). Physical altercations, pushing down the 60+ year old Red Sox employee, and dogging it in the field and on the basepaths didn't help either. I'd rather have Bay in left field than anyone they had in-house.

As for the Yankees winning "more series against the loser Sox" we'll see in October when it matters- and the last time they did meet the Yanks blew a 3-0 lead if I remember correctly, I think it's the biggest choke in baseball history or something like that...

LOL very true, but dont forget, manny was a big part in that. I believe he won a little award called WS MVP? But im sure Jason Bay will fill those shoes.

Re: Manny a Dodger!

as for the choke I'll give you that, but isn't the New York to Boston World series ratio like 7-1.

Maybe we should change the name of this forum to the ESGUN or Eastern Seaboard Game Used Network.

It's painfully obvious Manny had to go. If AROD had pulled that crap in New York, you Yankee lovers would want him gone too. I don't care how good a player Manny is. If you quit on your team like he did in 2006 and was getting ready to do this year, you have to go.
