sox-r-us Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 "I've always said we are built for the American League, which is what we should be built for," Manuel said. "On a National League team you wouldn't have three first basemen. You have the extra catcher or an extra middle infielder. With us, we are built to pound it out in the AL." This freaking team is not built for the major league.....does he get that? And what pounding is he talking about from the 1st base? The whopping 0.200 from the pathetic loser paulie or the 0.250 from Frank or the 0.200 from Daubach?????? And the freaking title of the article says the Sox are set for the challenge.....what challenge? They have played with no desire to win all season.....what challenge are they ready to face? http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Fainter Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I still remember JM's first interview in which he said the team will play National League style baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 We are built to pound it out. He said they were BUILT for pounding...he didn't say they were succeeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI1020 Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 He said they were BUILT for pounding...he didn't say they were succeeding. Right now they're built for getting the s*** pounded out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I remember JM saying he liked to play NL ball too. Apparently the only pounding the Sox are built for is to get pounded by the opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Right now they're built for getting the s*** pounded out of them. lol and then throwing up. I've had a pounding headache I've pounded my desk I've pounded my tv Why not give JM a chance to manage in the NL? At this point he's like a late night bar pick up that f***ing won't leave. He's used up his usefullness, time to move on, adios, have a great life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Hudler Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I still remember JM's first interview in which he said the team will play National League style baseball. He doesn't build the team, he only manages it. It is reasonable to think he fully intended to play NL style baseball, but has had to adapt due to personnel.
