Manny has been frustrated with Boston management for years, but since he never really talks, I feel there is probably a lot that we don't know about. <BR/><BR/>I'm just saying that nice people don't win baseball games. OPS does. Nobody liked Kelly Leak either, but where would Amanda Whirlinger, Rudy Stein, Ahmed, and Tanner be without him?Rockdawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392724225649893240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-20244952029586844592008-08-19T13:04:00.000-04:002008-08-19T13:04:00.000-04:00are we going to have to bomb japan again?are we going to have to bomb japan again?Cy Slapnickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109399114263980881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-46918871594003597912008-08-18T20:30:00.000-04:002008-08-18T20:30:00.000-04:00RD,I can usually take Stark or leave him, but you ...RD,<BR/>I can usually take Stark or leave him, but you have to admit that Manny just giving up is setting a dangerous precedent, regardless of his ability to hit the ball.<BR/><BR/>Cy,<BR/>I hope you know by now how I like my drinks. <BR/>I take my gin accompanied by only ice and a few vermouth-soaked olives and I take my coffee black...like my women.Paul Cousineauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490622970961409253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-12011100028347129632008-08-18T13:17:00.000-04:002008-08-18T13:17:00.000-04:00PC, consider this a warning.

If things pan out, and he becomes a clubhouse leader some day, then we can shorten it to simply "The Cheif". Although he has NOTHING in common with Robert Parish, it is still a great name.Rockdawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392724225649893240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-67391558738783446612008-08-17T13:55:00.000-04:002008-08-17T13:55:00.000-04:00Based on what I've seen of LaPorta so far, perhaps...Based on what I've seen of LaPorta so far, perhaps his nickname should be "Andy Marte's Country Cousin."Hydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984348525069741897noreply@blogger.com
