Big night for Jason Bay hit a triple and scored both runs in a 2-1 victory !

A few things i was not aware of about Manny: After the Angels series in Anaheim his team mates BEGGED him to get onto the plane for Seattle !...Manny told them he was not going to Seattle. Manny also told them he would not play again until the upcoming series against the Kansas City Royals...He was taking off 11 days!!

Manny is not the same player he was 3/4 years back. I'm telling ya this was the first season i have ever seen Manny miss so many fastballs.

Better defensively at least...and I bet he runs it out every time. And that will help the other players no doubt, correct??? ESPN is talking about it finally.....Hansen and Moss also go to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh made up for the lousy trade to the Yankees(Unless that double A guy really turns into something) Brandon Moss is a very Solid player but really no room for him now in Boston . This is a good trade for the SOX!!! I am PISSED that they sent Moss away. There absolutely is room for him - Coco goes away next year and he is the fourth outfielder. Moss has big time upside, very solid defensively, he's the better player than the guy they sent to Texas for Gagne who ended up with near All-Star first half numbers. This flat out SUCKS to lose him! And on top of that, to lose him for Bay when apparently he could have gone to the Royals for Mahay, a decent reliever? That makes it even worse - they give up an arm (OK, an arm everyone was tired of waiting for) and get nothing for the bullpen and lose Moss. This displeases me greatly. How long before Bowden AND Bard are called up to help the bullpen? Because there's nothing else they can do now. The only other hope is that Oki has looked better lately, but I still don't trust him like I did before. Just focus your anger on Manny....if he had played hard, none of this would have been forced into happening. Jason Bay had the most walks on the Pirates, and will play hard, I think you guys will find that so refreshing, it will make up for the lack of production(But, with guys on base all the time, I bet he goes back to being a 100+ RBI guy again) The important thing is that now its settled, its done, its time to "turn the page" and concentrate on the task ahead. There are a lot of veteran guys who know what it takes, and a lot of good young players who only know how to play hard. If they miss the playoffs, they weren't good enough, and Manny wouldn't have made a difference - there are lots of other places to point the blame: bullpen, Varitek's decline, Ellsbury's struggles. What will be interesting in the next few days is what kind of honest commentary the Boston media will get out of the players. I'm sure we'll hear more that more than a few said good fucking riddance, while a few others will say "we needed his bat". Dan , You should have heard Schilling this morning on EEI. Schill said he had a number of run ins with Manny, some of them smiled at and some of them frowned upon. This trade will help the clubhouse big time!

Lets see, they have Juan Peirre, Matt Kemp, Andruw Jones, Andre Ethier already in the outfield...and all but Jones should start everyday. And Andruw is paid the most....weird how cheap the Dodgers have suddenly become! They shouldn't be cheap McCourt is from Boston and he is LOADED....real estate!

Better defensively at least...and I bet he runs it out every time. And that will help the other players no doubt, correct??? ESPN is talking about it finally.....Hansen and Moss also go to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh made up for the lousy trade to the Yankees(Unless that double A guy really turns into something) Brandon Moss is a very Solid player but really no room for him now in Boston . This is a good trade for the SOX!!!

Merloni just added on NESN that the Dodger clubhouse is a mess and he doesn't know how Manny will fit in ? But Torre has handled some big egos ...BUT NOTHIN like MANNY Being MANNY

Hansen stinks thats fine with me and i like Moss , BUT Bay has to be better ?

Brandon Moss and Craig Hansen go to Pirates Lou Merloni right now on NESN thinks this is a lot for just Jason Bay Dodgers give up laroche and a prospect

They are trying to find Manny and he needs to sign off on this ???....now they are joking that Manny might not know where LA is . Manny doesn't even know about this yet. Dodgers are having a press conference shortly to announce this .

Its on NESN right now , Gordon Edes and Carfado are reporting Jason Bay to Sox , Manny to Dodgers thats all they know right now ~

YES its the Dodgers ...But they still think Bay is coming from the Pirates . So the Dodgers gave the Pirates prospects ?? Jason Bay is part of the deal !!

Manny has been TRADED....they think Dodgers

Just got back from Fenway .....aaarrrggghh..UGLY ! At Mannys last at bat some people gave him a standing ovation , BUT most just sat . I think the game was so out of hand that people were just looking at their cell phones. Whats up with that ? ,why are all these people paying very good $$$ to sit at Fenway and all they do is text message look at their i phones ....no one can concentrate .

Dan PM on Milt Jackson and Wes Montgomery, Bags Meets Wes (Japanese issue of Riverside, in jewel box) $13

Damn the Angels get Teixeira

Well he was cruisin' for 5 innings and then started throwing batting practice......i can't figure out Dice-K

Yesterday we bought gas for $3.85 that is the cheapest i have seen it in a very long time.

PM sent on these: Buck Hill, The Buck Stops Here (Muse) $8 Buck Hill, Impulse (Muse) $8

I stumbled on this blog a few weeks back and thats how i got to hear Odell Brown and the Organizers Raising the Roof. I never download stuff , but i figured what the hell and it worked out great . Now if Mosaic or Dusty or whoever wants to release this i will be the first in line to buy it.

Very Sad News ....RIP .

i was having reflex at night , went to the doctor and he told me to change my diet . Which i did and i rarely get it know , such a relief ( it helps that my wife is a nutritionist) I would stay away from drugs

I'm just glad the Sox didn't make that deal , i guess they had interest in Marte. Someone on the post game show said the yanks made the deal so the Sox didn't get him ??....i don't know if i believe that?

Yeah , that pitch to Ellsbury was on the PIKE !, as if he is not having trouble hitting strikes. I have said this once if not 1,000 times Rivera has lived off those kind of calls for years and then in the post game show they said Rivera has found the fountain of youth ???....what ?.....with those kind of calls off the plate the next 2 guys have to swing at anything and everything . But lets face it Manny was the story for the whole night , Francona had to change the whole batting order because of that !

Sox owner Tom Werner on the post game show when asked about Mannys Knee declined comment and he did not seem happy about it . How many days to the trading deadline ?
