WTF IS WRONG WITH MANNY[views:2699][posts:22]____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:18am - W3 @ work ""] seriously, what is wrong with that dood. 45 million for two years, why isn't he taking either of the deals he has on the table no other teams are coming for him. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:19am - dreadkill ""] i hope he doesn't play. that would be hilarious. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:19am - RustyPS ""] he's an idiot |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:20am - W3 @ work ""] I hope Pedro Martinez throw a pitch @ his head. see if Manny's dreads are as strong as that broads weave. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:28am - dreadkill ""] he will swing his dreads and they will hit a homerun. he'll be worth every penny of that deal he's never going to sign. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:30am - MillenialKingdom ""] I'm so glad he's not in Boston anymore. This prema donna is just looking for more money and the Dodgers are the only team bidding for him. They're bidding against themselves on this one and it's pretty pathetic to watch. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:31am - xmikex ""] I still like Manny, but I rolled my eyes when I heard about this last night. |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:39am - W3 @ work ""] it's like he's waiting for another team (ahem Yankees) to step in and give him a big four year deal. no one wants to invest in someone who gives up on their team. i think it's funny though that boras is running to sf to try to get la to bup up their offer, so dumb. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:41am - RustyPS ""] I'm pretty sure that the Yankees are not allowed by league rules to sign another Type A free agent, which Manny is. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:44am - W3 @ work ""] RustyPS said:I'm pretty sure that the Yankees are not allowed by league rules to sign another Type A free agent, which Manny is. see I read that too on MLB.com after they signed Mark Texeira, but then they had an article on Manny and said the Yanks could still sign him. I don't understand it but hey whatever. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:49am - RustyPS ""] I've heard conflicting reports on it too, but I'm pretty sure that's a rule |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:52am - W3 @ work ""] found it, glad I'm the only one in the office today..... Because of an exception granted, the Yankees -- or any other team -- can sign as many as eight Type A or Type B free agents this season, a top baseball official said on Friday. Thus, if the Yankees were so inclined, they could still sign pitcher Ben Sheets or left fielder Manny Ramirez if there are millions more dollars remaining in the Steinbrenner bank. Under rules stated in the Basic Agreement, an exception was made this offseason because of the high number of free agents on the market -- a combined 216 between six-year free agents filing before Nov. 14 and players who weren't tendered contracts on Dec. 12, said Rob Manfred, Major League Baseball's executive vice president of labor relations and human resources. http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/news/articl...40&vkey=news_nyy&fext=.jsp&c_id=nyy |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:56am - RustyPS ""] ah okay, that makes sense....considering the economy, this might be the only way some guys get signed |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 10:00am - W3 @ work ""] yeah but I did read the original one you read too about them being done with signing class A free agents but then like I posted I saw that one like mid jan, I think MLB came to terms this is a different offseason and next season will probably be worse a lot of one year/two year deals getting done. |

| _____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 10:40am - W3 @ work ""] lol yeah a lot of temps work here, and we have three campuses so people get moved around a lot. I just get to stay here at the Boston Campus woo. YES, I AM SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TODAY, TAKE THAT SHIT CLERKS. |
| _______________________________ [Feb 27,2009 10:42am - Yeti ""] haha ok, i thought maybe your effort to get to the train might be in vain. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 10:46am - W3 @ work ""] naw fuck that if I'm running to that bitch every morning I'm damn well getting paid for it. believe me I love days like this I can slack all day and as long as I get these three folders done I'm golden plus I'm outta here @ 2:30 and I'm still getting two hours of OT this week. so fuck you economy. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 11:36am - xmikex ""] Let the Yankees sign him. Let them be forced to bench Damon, Cabrera, Matsui, or Nady just to fit him in and throw even more money away. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 11:39am - W3 @ work ""] I just thought they might cause weren't they trying to shop around Cabera this off season and they've already put Matsui on the bench as DH. Just figured they'd be willing to spend the cash on someone who hit so well in NY. I'd still like to see Pedro throw @ his head though. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 11:44am - xmikex ""] I'd like to see Nolan Ryan throw at Manny's head... and then see Manny lose a fight to Nolan Ryan. |
