manny ramirez Stories - Over the Monster
Giants/Dodgers Series Preview
Pitching: Barry Zito is back! Maybe. Don't quote me on that. I have editing powers, remember. Zito's allowing fewer hits on balls put in play this year, with his numbers matching those of his peak years with Oakland. The strikeouts have actually decreased a little, which is surprising, but we're...
Manny Ramirez: Understanding the Glee
If a first-time visitor were to come to the site and read the quickie Manny Ramirez thread, they might think, boy, what a bunch of bitter, craven Giants fans. That's only somewhat true. There's a part of us that's laughing at the misfortune of others, and it's just a little repugnant. Just a...

So, casual Red Sox fan, do you like Jason Bay yet?
So Jason Bay is kinda good. Like, seven home run, .322 average, .487 OBP good. Combined with Kevin Youkilis, they are a two-headed monster that could potentially rival the mashing duos of the Red Sox past. But the question is: do you like him yet? Sure, he's winning games for the Red Sox but...

Around the Yankee Universe, 02.27.09
Prized young reliever Mark Melancon, the apple of my Spring Training eye, pitched a very impressive 1-2-3 inning Thursday against Tampa Bay. I watched a little of the game on YES, hoping to catch a glimpse of Melancon. I was glad I did. Fastball in the low 90s, good curveball, a good presence on...
Note to the Red Sox: End the Manny Ramirez debate now
For the last time, Manny Ramirez is gone and he's never coming back. It seems like this saga will never end. It has been almost seven months since Ramirez was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers but apparently that's not enough time to shake this thing loose. It's like a dog that wipes its butt on...
Manny Ramirez and the San Francisco Giants: Let's chat about it for the first time again!
For the first time in six or seven evers, I found myself critically thinking about Manny Ramirez. I know, I know. Pitchers and catchers show up in Scottsdale tomorrow, and we make a big deal about them seeing their shadow, or something, so I have one last day of this. For the week, at least. One...
Manny Ramirez and the San Francisco Giants: Let's chat about it for the first time!
There's a threat to the solidarity of the anti-Manny faction. Manny at four years? Bah. Flimshaw. Don't make me pull out my list of Hall-of-Famers who disintegrated in their late-30s. That kind of commitment is a gamble the Giants shouldn't take. Manny at three years? More of the same arguments,...
