Do you REALLY want him? If they lose Manny, the Skankees are sure to somehow take first, do you guys want that too? LOL Let Manny be Manny in Boston. We don't need another overpriced geriatric project on the team. He would not come cheap even as a rental and they would want some Major league ready people in return to stay in the race and in case you haven't been watching, we don't have anything we can give up unless they'll take Tatis and Knight and a low minor leaguer ;)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('86602','Frank from Jersey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('86602','Frank from Jersey','The BoSox are in the middle of a pennant race, do you really think they will let Manny go?

As much as the Phillies fear us now, can you imagine their expressions when they read that we just acquired Manny Ramirez to play left field and drive in runs for the Mets? Also, Manny grew up in NYC, graduated from George Washington HS, and our city has like half a million Dominicans. He would be a very happy camper with us, and we have a manager (and some players) that would make sure that he plays hard. Question is, what would it take? We just assume the huge paycheck, ego, and poor defense? Or we have to send players too? This is where Omar earns his paycheck, knowing how to fashion deals that bring in the help we need from outside without removing the help we need and already have. Happy 50th, Steve! As a 55 year old, I can tell you, life goes on.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('85909','David in Manhattan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('85909','David in Manhattan','Right, Manny is neither cute nor cuddly but he is one of the best righthanded bats this side of Cooperstown and would be just a huge asset to our team.
