Damn entertaining game tonight. And after me and my cousin were bashing Olerud for his lack of power he goes out there and hits a grand slam. I should bash him more often.

The Manny trade is stupid. I'm Manny plus a good prospect like Sanchez (Shoppach is a wash) for Huff and Cameron? That's lame. However, I'm still in favor of the Bill Mueller for JC Romero deal. And with Romero serving up the grand slam and Mueller hitting a homer tonight, maybe that will soften Minnesota up a little. And with Hunter seriously hurt, they really need to add another bat to their lineup.

Forget about Shopp-vach being moved in any Ramirez deal. He's now rumored to be packaged along with Adam Stern for the immortal.....

Larry Bigbie.

Can't say I'm too impressed here. I don't understand how this is much of an upgrade over a Stern/Kapler platoon. Stern can't hit, sure, but neither can Bigbie. At least Stern has visible speed and apparent defensive ability in RF

Hopefully Theo still has plans for acquiring a speedster a la Dave Roberts . . . or Bigbie is just part of a larger trade, who knows. These are certainly going to be an interesting next 36 hours though!

*edit* ProJo (Sean McAdams, reliable)now also reporting, in a separate story that Ramirez and Schilling got into a heated argument after the fiasco in Tampa and had to be restrained by Ortiz.

**** meet fan. The Boston media must be literally frothing at the mouth at this very second. I can hear their mealy-mouthed slurps all the way from my house.

This is very un-Patriot-esque. This kind of **** NEEDS to be kept in house, otherwise this entire town is going to swallow the team as we know it alive. Ugh. I can not stand peripheral kind of material such as this.

Manny was taken out of the lineup at the last moment.No word on why he was taken out. hopefully the trade didnt go through.

$hit is going down. Strap yourselves in fellas...

[Mxracer23x]

Yup, When i heard remy say that hes out of the lineup my heart stopped. Hopefully they got the reds in the deal and the sox got either dunn or kearns

[Lintyfresh85]

Manny was taken out because he never showed up to to the field, this was Manny's decision, the team had no idea that would happen. This was reported on Fox sports radio.

Relax fellaz, it's a hammy tightness...i know...i know thanks MO!
