mreye Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 10, 2006 -> 10:51 AM) Manny's done a lot of good for the game of baseball, and is the most popular player in the game. If you don't like him, that's fine. Please list the "good" things he's done for baseball. Not disagreeing. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibbieRubarb Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 10, 2006 -> 09:45 AM) Probably Dye because Vlad was voted in. So to avoid any kind of minor controversy, it might end up being that way. But if it were my choice, I'd put Dye in RF. Well...we're both wrong. Ozzie tabs Vernon Wells to start in CF. Vlad in LF and Ichiro in RF. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/allstar06/ne...tory?id=2515212 I was hoping one member of the 2005 World Series Champions would start.

southsideirish71 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Brian Anderson hopefully will silence the need for an upgrade in CF. July stats .333BA .364OBP with a .840OPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 10, 2006 -> 10:54 AM) Yes, a player is a tool for opting not to play in an exhibition game when he's been playing on a sore knee all season. If anything, this should show Boston fans that Manny doesn't really care whether you vote for him or not. He could start the game, take an at-bat, stand out in LF for one inning and go sit in the dugout for the rest of the game. But, no... Manny has other plans for the next few days. Probably car buying or sitting around watching DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool. But, for the record, here's my thinking. If say, Dye, had been playing on a sore knee and decided to opt out of the game, I believe most around here would be saying that it was a good decision. You'd hear a lot along the lines of 'He has the team's best interest in mind' and 'It's just an exhibition game and the pennant race is what matters'. In fact, Thome opted out of the HR Derby to insure he didn't injure himself during it. So, you could say Thome also disregarded the fans that pay his salary, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's about as many as we have. I've been teaching one kid that really wants to learn, though. How many people still know how to keep score bowling?
