MANNY RAMIREZ: BEST PLAYER

Jason Bay coming back, sounds like.

why would the pirates want manny?

Carroll says to the dodgers

I don't know why the Red Sox just didn't take Kemp? Obviously there are more players involved than these three.

Kemp almost certainly wasn't offered.

Jason Bay is headed to Boston as part of the deal, SI.com has learned. The Pirates will get four minor leaguers in the three-way trade.

Whuh-oh.

RACIALISM

actually, I have no idea, aside from Kemp still being wet behind the ears, and Bay having a solid track record of Manny-lite production

The 4 MLers:

Dylan

Charlie Zink

because he throws HOT FIYAH

In the comments of Foxsports: The Pirates will receive Andy LaRoche and right-hander Bryan Morris from the Dodgers and outfielder Damien Moss and releiver Craig Hansen from the Red Sox.

Brandon Moss. I still like Hansen, but he definitely isn't ML-ready.

Ha -- if only it was Damian Moss!

i think i might cry

RIP MANNY ;_;

Eagerly anticipating the Plaschke reaction.

srsly xpost

Oh shit, I'm gonna have to call and break the news to my mom.

that's a pretty good haul for the pirates imo!

Breaking news: Red Sox 4% whiter, less interesting.

4% whiter, 40% less interesting

I'm happy for Andy LaRoche.

The Dodgers sure have a lot of outfielders.

f-k it, 80% less interesting

A lot of those outfielders are shitty though.

Yeah -- frees LaRoche from that retarded purgatory he was thrust into because of Torre's luv affair w/ Blake DeWitt, gives them a good-to-go cheaper Nady clone in Moss, a 21-year-old high-ceiling pitching prosect in Morris, and, um, a young reliever (w/ potential, obv) that's been beyond awful in MLB to this point.

Dodgers, meanwhile, are probably going to use Manny to cockblock Matt Kemp s'more, which is just awesome for the rest of the West.

xpost to cank's GO RATS post, btw

& as much as I'm going to miss Manny, if it shuts up all the fucking moronic beat writers (and maybe Schilling) for more than 5 minutes, I'm all for Bay coming into town.

yeah but how do i break it to my kids?

FUCK

SERIOUSLY, FUCK

FUCK THIS BULLSHIT

Tell them Manny's going to a really big farm out in the country where there's plenty of room to roam and a to-die-for play-by-play man calling his games.

(don't mention Simers & Plaschke unless you want them to really get upset, tho)

FUCK YOU RED SOX

(yes I am stealing my material from Andy K)

WHY DON'T YOU JUST TEAR DOWN THE GREEN MONSTER NOW?

yeah but how do i break it to my kids?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST TEAR DOWN THE GREEN MONSTER NOW?

BECAUSE WHERE WOULD THEY FILM SOX APPEAL?

ok, i think they can dig the free-range manny concept.

but srsly i've tried to prepare them for this by telling them it was very likely he'd be traded today. they were on verge of tears with just the thought. (7 and 8 yrs old by the way).

well that just makes me sadder

(couldn't get my mom on the phone, btw; she was *really* sad at Ellis Burks's departure)

Adios Manuel. Cojelo suave.

Aw man, now I'm starting to actually get a little misty. You bastards.

"Tell them Manny's going to a really big farm out in the country where there's plenty of room to roam and a to-die-for play-by-play man calling his games."

Three innings of and only west of the Rockies.

Aww, man, that sucks, collardio.

multiple xpost

You want to tell them about Santa while you're @ it, Steve?

I can't wait to watch Joe Torre manage Manny Ramirez.

Dudes -- Manny and JEFF KENT

That shit's like Office / 30 Rock level sitcom material.

wow, pirates cleaned up. Jason Bay not so secretly sucks btw.
