Maybe it's because I'm not a Red Sox fan and am not emotionally invested in the situation, but you have to admit, that is hilarious. There are talks of a three way trade with Boston sending Manny to the Marlins for either Josh Willingham or Jeremy Hermida then flipping that dude to the Pirates for Jason Bay. Who knows where Manny will end up next year but even with all the bashing of the organization, I still think the Sox should hold onto him. I'm not sold on Jason Bay in the slightest. It's clear that most fans want Ramirez to stay at least for the remainder of the 2008 season but Epstein and Co.'s pride might be too bruised at this point. Either way, I'm fully enjoying this "saga" and am anxious to see what develops today.I still have to break you all off with the Bonus Features from the Celtics DVD which I will get to shortly. Happy Trade Deadline everyone.
P.S. He even spelled Favre's name correctly!
UPDATE - The deal went down but instead of going to the Marlins, Manny is heading to Tinsletown. The Dodgers are sending a bunch of prospects who will end up in Pittsburgh, and Jason Bay will be roaming left field at Fenway. Brandon Moss and Craig Hansen are part of the trade as well. Joe Torre managing Manny Ramirez eh? I bet Arizona is kicking themselves for not grabbing Texiera. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. At least Manny's not in the American League anymore...
