Not as bad as Jeff "Mixed Metaphor" Brantley. And you can put that in your hat and smoke it.

Francona gets votes because they have run support? Not to be a homer but we're supposed to lose 100 games and go for the worst record ever. How many rookie debuts have we had and we're closing on .500. There is a fine line between judging if it's because of managing or the actual talent. If anything Larry Beinfest, our GM, should get GM of the year.

But, they will prevail. Still have a hold of the Wild Card spot.

Another wonderful A-Rod article, making fun of Yankees fans of course and taking a quick shot at Jeter (worse numbers than A-Rod at the plate):

So, The Sporting News moves into our building and they leave out free issues. Well, I read some sweet quotes. Here's a couple.

Aubrey Huff's first question when he arrived in Houston via a trade from Tampa Bay: "Who are those people sitting there watching us play?"
And you massholes will love this one.

When asked if the Red Sox can catch the surprising Tigers for the A.L.'s best record, Manny Ramirez tells reporters, "Ain't no Canadian team gonna finish in front of us."

He's not from the States. We have to cut him a little slack. Side note: Detroit is way too dirty to be a Canadian city.

LOL

I subscribe to TSN and it's a great magazine. Since they use local affiliate sources (local beat writers usually), the information is great. A lot of the rumors on one issue, end up true by the next.

Co-worker met Manny in the offseason and he was nothing but nice. He even signed balls and BSed with her son. Real cool guy.

Fasano was a catcher not a pitcher....he caught last night for the yankees too, with his freshly cut shorter hair....

I think I like Manny so much because he's able to look so damn casual through it all. It just all looks so effortless. I know he puts in a ton of time taking BP, but I think he is incredibly gifted, naturally. Manny epitomizes laid back cool.

Damn you and Manny were in geography class together...Dominican Republic is in the Caribbean. Manny was born in DR but was raised in Washington Heights, Manhattan.

When they met him in the offseason he actually was training outdoors with a trainer. No doubt he busts his ass.

Basically the Brewers panicked. They knew they couldn't resign Lee, so they had to trade him, otherwise they were just taking a loss by letting go to free agency. The trade deadline was almost up and that was the best offer they got for a guy that plays below average defense and has a sore wrist. The Rangers def got a good deal and took advantage of the Brewers situation
