Manny

Pretty good read here if you have some time. A little perspective as to why the Red Sox dealt Manny at the deadline.

though i'm assuming this is just an expansion of simmons' point in espn the mag this week, so i have an idea what the article is about.; October 4, 2008 at 1:23 PM
TheRiot said...: its a good article. However, just from a baseball side, it was a good time to trade. This off season they would either buy him out or pay him again. Now they got a similar player that strikes out more. They are paying Bay 7.5 mil as opposed to Manny getting 20. They also gave up Moss and Hansen. Moss is an OF. The Red Sox are a big market team who can afford to pay for corner outfield bats (Bay, Drew, etc). Hansen is a former 1st round sensation who has scuffled. A good throw-in to convince a team to swing a deal. The Sox let Manny go without looking like they let him go. I just hope it bites them in the ass; October 8, 2008 at 7:12 AM
TheRiot said...: after reading that, do you want to party with your sports heroes, Craig?; October 8, 2008 at 7:14 AM

Rules of the Blog

1. Naps is in charge here. He breaks the rules when it is necessary. Don't reference the rules after things he's posted. If he broke one, it's more than likely because you said something stupid.
2. While racial slurs and shots at people's sexual preference can be funny, use them sparingly. We do like to sound somewhat intelligent here.
3. This is a blog about sports played by other people. No one cares how well you golfed last weekend.
4. Don't start consecutive posts for topics that are closely related. (e.g. Don't write about Livan Hernandez in one post then start a new post five minutes later whining about Mike Lamb.)
5. New posts are for new topics. Don't bring up old issues.
