    I'll give you that... don't have that rivalry you guys do, and never will. But it looks as if this Red Sox/Angels thing is turning into a little side rivalry....something to watch for the foreseeable future

    Nothing he says will hurt his payday this offseason...there are 30 GM's in baseball...if Manny pisses one off, 29 others would love to have him, and of those 29, about 8 will have the resource to pay him, and Scott Boras will ensure a bidding war for his services.

    So who knows anything about Jason Bay? I Don't think he can fill Manny's shoes at the plate, but how about in the field?


    edit: I just saw the other thread about this. Sorry.

    Jason Bay is a really good player and his numbers not counting last year are consistent to what Manny would put up going forward except he costs 1/3 the price. He's also a better fielder and has some speed and more importantly is 7 years younger and just going into the prime of his career.

    Plus Eddie likes him so Theo just wanted to make Ed happy before his shows this weekend. ;)

    He rode the hometown vote to the 2006 All-Star Game, held in Pittsburgh. The Pirates staged an aggressive marketing campaign to get Bay votes, and Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder urged fans to vote for Bay during a late June concert at Mellon Arena. Bay was sheepish about the publicity, saying that the attention was "very flattering. I never would imagine I'd be in this position with the names that are out there." He went 1 for 3 in the All-Star Game. He he declined to appear in the Derby. "I think a lot of people felt bad for me," he told ESPN.com about his Derby doughnut the previous year. "But the bottom line is I just stunk."

    Good to see Bay get the standing ovation tonight. While he's not Manny and isn't expected to be, I really hope the guy becomes a fan favorite. He definitely flashed some leather in left tonight that we haven't seen in a while (other than Jacoby playing left in Manny's absence).
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Hopefully, they can focus on winning the AL East now since Manny's deal is done and over with. I'll missed him but it was distracting the other players too.

    Nice win tonight on Bay's debut.

    Looks like Manny had a last second change of heart and Theo wasn't buying it:
