How many times to you read the fans screaming that the team has to get younger, isn't Manny going to be 37 or 38 next year? With our luck we'd sign him and then he'd turn into a 37 year old player.....been there, done that, etc..... He also mentioned he wouldn't want to play in Shea because its not a hitters ballpark -I guess he's the only one to not know that Shea is no longer. Can you imagine how he'd react to the "Shea Faithful" when hits .400 then strikes out once and they boo him off the field? That would be it for him, and the crying will begin.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('118029','Kay'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('118029','Kay','I know what Manny\'s numbers are, but 6 years is out of the question.

He is a great player agreed...but how many times did the Sox put him on waivers when he was with them ? Twice that I remember but the fat pig in the afternoon mentioned 3 times. Either way it does not matter but he got to be such a pain in the ass this year that they literally "gave him" to McCourt. That guy is one moody son of a bitch but when his head is screwed on he is a hitting machine so I guess I can see your point about wanting him. I just do not want a repeat of that 1990 team...I remember that like it happened yesterday. and even with the two collapses in the last two years I feel this team has not sunk to that level...A Manny signing I feel could bring that to being a real possibility.

That guy is one moody son of a bitch but when his head is screwed on he is a hitting
machine so I guess I can see your point about wanting him.

and even with the two collapses in the last two years I feel this team has not sunk to that level…A Manny signing I feel could bring that to being a real possibility.
