I Hope Manny Ramirez Gets NOTHING from Any MLB Team.

[Rockholm]

Yeah, he QUIT on the Red Sox. Manny is a QUITTER. I hope that Frank McCourt gives Manny a little "FU" and takes his $45 million offer and puts it in the bank. Manny and his agent Scott Boras deserve nada. Manny is such an arrogant prick. With millions losing their jobs and millions more poised to get pink slips, Manny should be grateful that the Dodgers were offering that staggering sum.
Thoughts?

[cboy4]

1. Yes, well said Rockholm.... he is a punk.

But if the Giants get him, I may have to modify my opinion.

One thing is clear, the Dodgers will be finishing well below .500 this year. :rofl:

[madinmaryland]

2. Nice post, Flip-flopper!

Hmmm. Which way is the wind blowing, cboy?

:rofl:

[Upton]

5. Hey, if Manny ended up a Giant

I'd take it too...attitude and all. His great hitting covers for a multitude of ills.

[madinmaryland]

6. Flip-flop Number 2!!

You would take the TO of MLB??

:rofl:

[cboy4]

7. Hey, if the AA Pirates signed Manny, you'd be a big Manny fan.

The Pirates signing Manny. :spray:
hahahaha



You do have a nice little stadium, even though you copied us with the splash hit idea.

[madinmaryland]

8. Dude! You owe me a new keyboard!

"if the AA Pirates signed Manny"

We got rid of the our last "head" case in 1992.

:spray:

[Upton]

9. Yeah and you haven't won since

16 consecutive losing seasons, with #17 coming up....that's worse than pathetic.

The Pirates are no better than a mediocre Triple A team

[madinmaryland]

10. I'm not sure which one of you I am responding to but,

doesn't that make me a dedicated sports fan? (albeit a masochist!)

[Upton]

11. Maybe in MLB

but in the NFL you've gone bandwagon jumping....therefore, IMO, you cannot be considered a COMPLETE dedicated sports fan.

[madinmaryland]

13. In what respect, Charlie?

[cboy4]

17. Oh snap

:thumbsup:

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

19. -->

[cboy4]

12. Don't you think it's ironic that you guys copied the splash hit

idea from us, considering the king of the splash hit is a guy you guys got rid of and hate?

:spray:

Think about how funny that is.



LOOK AT ALL MY PEOPLE WAITING FOR OUR HOME RUN KING TO SLAM ANOTHER ONE INTO THE WATER

[madinmaryland]

14. Well not really, because we haven't had anyone since Willie Stargell

and Dave Parker who could have hit a ball into the drink!

:shrug:

[cboy4]

16. You're missing the irony.

Actually, you're ignoring the irony.

LOL

[Upton]

18. Has anybody hit a ball into the Allegheny River ?

[cboy4]

21. I read it's 443 feet down the right field line until splash down

in the Allegheny and 352 into the Bay at our stadium.

Anyway, I found this:

River Blasts: Home Runs that landed in the Allegheny River on the fly:

1. July 6, 2002: Daryl Ward, Houston Astros, off of Pirates' Kip Wells 479'

But it's 2003 information, so there have prolly been some more.

[Upton]

23. Whenever the Giants went back there

I was always hoping Bonds would do it...if nothing else it would have shut up the booing from the Pirate fans as they opened their mouths in awe.

[cboy4]

24. The Giants S-U-C-K when they play in Pittsburgh.

I don't know whether they take them for granted or what, but it's usually a 3-game series disaster.

[madinmaryland]

25. The Bucs did the same thing in the 70's against the Giants.

They would lose 8 or 9 out of 12 against a team that could barely win 70 games. :grr:

[cboy4]

26. That's the biggest worry. When you have a good team and

you play someone shitty .. that the players won't bother trying, and the next thing you know, you're down 8-1.

When the Niners were good, I always wanted them playing good teams.

It was when they played the New Orleans's when I'd get worried .. and the Saints would almost always beat them. :wtf:

[madinmaryland]

27. On the other hand, if your the shitty team and you beat the top team...

Dallas in 89 beats the Redskins for their only victory.

Dallas in 60 ties the Giants to avoid a perfect losing season.

Yeah, the :wtf: moments in sports.

[Upton]

28. Yeah but the 49ers would almost always comeback late

against the Saints. I remember one year in New Orleans, back in the glory days, Montana brought them back in the 4th quarter to win something like 31-28 after trailing all game..and Eddie was at the end of the tunnel congratulating the players one by one as they came off the field...man, he was a tremendous owner and those were great times.

[cboy4]

31. Yea, he was a great owner ... never meddled in how

Walsh or Siefert were doing things.

Just sat back and congratulated the players without trying to make the win all about himself.

Unlike that arrogant Jerry Jones who interferes with everything .. especially, paceing the sidelines during games like he has some reason to be the fuck down on the field.

I will say, however, that situation sets up some fantastic television of him crying after the Cowgirls lose. I can't get enough of those camera shots!!

LOOK AT THE A-HOLE. Ughhhh :puke:

[madinmaryland]

33. Last time I check, Jerry Jones has no felony convictions.

Thankfully the forty-whiners are under very astute ownership..

[cboy4]

34. They're idiots and I hate them

:puke:

[Upton]

35. He just employs felons instead

[madinmaryland]

36. I see the alter-ego is chiming in.

Seeing as to how everyone here pilloried Belichek and Craft last year for taking videos "illegally", it kind of makes you wonder how DeBartelo would have taken the heat and his apologist's would have taken the heat after his felony conviction.

On edit: Kind of sounds similar to an certain owner of a major league baseball team who is a convicted felon.

Hmm.

[joeybee12]

22. I can't believe I agree with you!

If the Dodgers end up taking Manny, it will only be for a one year otr two year deal, and Manny will feel slighted, refuse to really play, and cearte havoc in the clubhouse.

[cboy4]

32. Why? I make a lot of sense.

:)

[Auggie]

3. He will sign with a team. Maybe for less money,

but he will sign. Perhaps it's looking better for the Giants now...

[Upton]

4. Manny will end up being a Dodger

somebody will cave. No one else wants him....and without him the Dodgers are looking at third place in the division.

[MrSlayer]

15. He's too good a hitter to not be playing somewhere.

He'll get paid and will be playing this year. Personally I think he's a tool but there is no doubting his talent.

[joeybee12]

20. Amen! He and Boras are the Universe's biggest pricks!

He's holding out partly because he doesn't want to go to spring training and thinks the offer will still be good once he's good and ready and once he's gotten out of actual work. Screw him!

[Rockholm]

29. Bingo. That was his MO in Boston.

He usually had some bullshit excuse to show up to spring training late. I believe his grandmother died twice.

[Upton]

30. Yeah but they won

2 World Series with Manny.. and is there really any doubt that if he would have been there last year they would have got past the Rays?

[Rockholm]

38. Doubtful. He quit on the team.

[flvegan]

37. Manny hasn't made a deal because he's lazy and doesn't want to do spring training.

He's meeting with the Dodgers Wednesday (today) to iron out the deal. He'll be a Dodger by the weekend at the latest.
