Manny the Yankee?


From the New York Post: "After having successfully orchestrated his divorce from Boston and his landing in with the Dodgers, Manny Ramirez would like to make life miserable for the Red Sox during the next few seasons. According to people who have spoken to the eccentric outfielder since he was dealt to L.A. on July 31, Ramirez wants to sign a free-agent deal with the New York Yankees this offseason and get 19 chances a year to punish Boston. "He wants to play for the Yankees so he can get at the Red Sox," a close friend of Ramirez's told The Post.


If this happens, it will remove the Yanks even further from the selfless type of baseball that helped the team win four Word Championship and six A.L. Pennants in the early Joe Torre era.

This could happen..but I hope it doesn't.

BUT..if someone told you adding Manny would be the ticket to #27...would you do it?

I honestly don't know if I would. Now, if they said we wouldn't win for 86 more years, then maybe...

He is a MONSTER hitter. One of the best ever. It'd be like selling your soul ... but for #27 ... maybe. I just hate what he did in Boston the last two weeks he was there. Michael Kay said he thinks lying down and not playing while being paid so much is worse than the guys that did steroids. And that's a pretty good point.

We did have a "Who is your all-time most hated Red Sox?" poll last year, but we had fewer people in the group at the time and it was long before we has this Website. We'll re-do the poll again next time they play Boston in a few weeks. - Alan
