Red Sox Nation: How pleased are you now that Manny Ramirez got booted to L.A. for a trade involving Jason Bay?

Question

Jason Bay, the Canadian stand in for Manny "they ain' Stupeeed" Ramirez, hits a triple in the 12th/extra innings setting up a Red Sox win in front of screaming faithful leftover fans at Fenway Park.

Answer 1

If he just stop talking to espn and stop acting like a selfish player than it be a diffrent story.

Beaucse his name is Manny he needs to be treated diffrently? bs. i am so glad he is gone.

Welcome jason bay!  

Answer 2

You do realize they were playing Oakland, right?  

Answer 3

haha this is a new time forget about ramirez, jason bay is what it's about, also the play he made out in left that saved a run and an extra base hit that manny would have never made, Jason will be the new Yankee killer.

Answer 4

IT WAS AGAINST OAKLAND I COULD HAVE GOTTEN A TRIPLE AGAINST THAT TEAM

Answer 5

Manny doesn't want to play baseball anymore and just wants to complain that he only gets paid 20 some million dollars a year and is 37 years old.

Good riddance!

Answer 6

who cares about Manny or the Red Sox. Chicago is where its at, JUNIOR IS NOW A WHITE SOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Answer 7

Nice welcome for Jason Bay, And I was glad to see it. Nice to see the nation give him the standing O...The triple in the 12th helped to make him a new fan favorite... and game winning run!! Manny being Manny was fun for a while. But, God it got old!! Welcome Jason Bay!!

Answer 8

I don't think Bay will ever put up the numbers that Manny did, but he's a suitable replacement w/o all of the Manny being Manny selfishness.  At a certain point the act gets old and he's damaging the team and the rest of the players on it.

Interestingly enough, the prediction of Manny and Bay being traded was called out by Roto Baseball Guru.  Check out the source.

Answer 9

I don't know about Red Sox nation, but as a Yankee fan, I'm glad he's gone.  Like Manny or not, he's one of the best hitters in the game.  This makes life a lot easier for the Yankees.

Answer 10

Good riddance.

Answer 11

Addition by subtraction!

If you have a problem in the room (Manny)

The room has a problem and the team wont play well.

    

SO FAR SO GREAT!!!

Answer 12

I wouldn't say Manny got booted as much as I'd say he forced his way out of Boston.

If the Red Sox could have kept him quiet, the Sox would have kept him.

Good debut for Bay and a nice first impression before the Fenway Faithful, who wanted to love him anyway. But let's see how this holds up in the long run. Once Manny starts cracking shots in Chavez Ravine, some of y'all might start pining for Manny Being Manny again.
