papsrus Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Question: If it's Dodgers vs. BoSox in the World Series, will Manny get a ring and winner's share regardless of who wins? Yes , he will ! I thought so, too. The players vote on winner's shares, so I guess it's possible they could cut him out. But the ring, I did wonder if he was entitled regardless of what anyone in the Red Sox organization might think about it. And I can't imaging the players not voting him a share. That would establish a bad precedent, I'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quitting on your team and getting rewarded with a bigger contract and a WS share from the team you quit on...that would establish a bad precedent as well! But, you are probably right, they would vote him a share and give him a ring. "Hey Manny, hows it going??? Just wanted to give you a ring...talk to you later!

I'm sure the Sox would give him one, but not because they are REQUIRED to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Nice start by Garza. With recent efforts by Beckett and Lester, tough to be confident in Beantown. Comes down to high variance Wakefield (tremendously good or tremendously not good). Odd to hear Skip Caray try to use "despite" and "in spite of" as opposites. I always thought they meant the same thing. ...Or maybe not so odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 My prediction: by 9:45 PM tomorrow, it will be all over but the shouting. 9-3 final. 3-1 deficit. 5-4 loss by Dice-K on Thursday. Or maybe a 5-4 win, followed by an embarrassing loss at Tampa in Game 6. It is OV-AH! And my new motto is : ANYONE BUT THE RAYS they think they are hot shit and their fans are arrogant fuckers (Paps excluded). I'll even cheer if Manny its who gets to be the turd in their punch bowl.

BERIGAN Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Man, how about those Phillies??? I thought the Dodgers had this game wrapped up with that 5-3 lead, but two 2 run homers later, it was the Phillies up 3-1 in the series. Got to feel good for an old timer like Matt Stairs to get the biggest homer of his career at the age of 40! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkeith Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Sox will win Game 4, which -- at the moment -- is all they need to worry about. Fully expect NL series to head back to Philly, albeit briefly. Last night sucked for the home team, but you had to feel good for Rocco.

Who says irony is dead? Any arrogance from the side of Red Sox fans had a basis in reality, that reality being the most successful team of the decade. The arrogance coming from Rays fans is based on a single season in which they've, by way of a couple of fluke victories, won anything only once. And yeah, Keith, I guess there's a chance they win tonight, on the theory of the same "reverse lock" that made the Rays whip Lester last night. But really, Wakefield off of two weeks rest against a team that no longer has any doubts whatsoever, and facing a piece of shit pitcher who the noodle bats couldn't touch when they were going good? I need some of the shit you're smoking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkeith Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 To quote George Hamilton in LOVE AT FIRST BITE: "I do not, smoke, shit." It's called reality and not jumping off the bridge at the drop of a dime. I'm guessing you're not a chess player. I can just see you wailing away incoherently at the first loss of a pawn. Get a grip, dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arrogance coming from Rays fans is based on a single season in which they've, by way of a couple of fluke victories, won anything only once. Oh for crying out loud. (Or just crying.) They've never won in their history, they have every right to have fun with it. And at least way out here on the West Coast I've heard nor read nothing about Rays fans that approaches the whining know-it-all "aren't we so wonderful" fucked up arrogance of the bandwagon Red Sox "Nation." To see the perfect Patriots lose a Super Bowl in such heart-breaking fashion followed by their post-Brady fall, and now to see a Tampa team that has done it right by building on homegrown talent and a terrific trade all while on a budget...well, it just doesn't get any better. GO RAYS! (And as long as your team doesn't go to Timlin, you're still in the thing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
