White Sox Acquire Manny Ramirez

[greg775]

Wrong. I worked in 5 star hotels for 20 years. Lots of human beings do such disgusting things.

 

Tell us more.

I agree there's joy in baseball and life.

Forgive me for not applauding the team for acquiring a guy, who by all accounts, is a bum.

A rich bum if that's possible.

 

I hope he hits .400 for the month with 15 home runs and we beat out the Twins. I am not saying he can't excel. I just think he's a turd. You can polish a turd all you want, but a turd will always be a turd. This will not end well.

But if he can bring us another WS title, great. I'll take it. I just want the Sox to use him for his ability and the fans to challenge him to excel.

I'm not normally in favor of booing, but I hope we boo him on every out, and praise him when he gets a hit.

Ramirez is one of the best right handed hitters, ever. I bet the very first reaction of Sox fans when he starts crushing homeruns at the Cell is jubilation.

 

THere is no doubt that Ramirez is not an ideal citizen, but we're not building a team based on that, we're building one to win and Ramirez gives us a MUCH better chance to get to the playoffs.

Money and fame gets to many people's heads, it just happens.

Production-wise...

 

Mark Kotsay is a turd.

 

Manny Ramirez is a stud.

What makes him a bum? Being one of the best hitters ever? You're not using bum the correct way. Kotsay is a bum.

We rock. That whipping boy is getting crushed!

We should fill our team with more nice guys like Mark Kotsay. Who cares if we only win 45 games, at least I would be able to sleep well at night knowing we have the humanitarian awards wrapped up.

Read the Passon story. Lots of evidence on yahoo he is a major bum. Maybe turd is the better word.

I'm all in favor of winning at all costs on the professional level. Bring him in. I just hope the fans at the Cell cheer his every hit and boo him mercilessly on every out.

He accepted all that adulation in LA then when he tired of the city, s*** on his teammates and fans, which he will do here as well.

Let's beat him to the punch. Demand he produce or boo his ass off the field before he does it to the Sox as he has other teams.

Cmon quitter ... let's play ball. Lead us to the pennant big guy. Sox pay you 4 mill; lets see a 4 million dollar month or boo you off the field.

Let's carry this to its logical extreme, just as a mind exercise. I am absolutely not minimizing the horrors of the soon-to-be mentioned individual to the completely-trivial-in-comparison level of cheating or quitting in a sport-as-entertainment. I am absolutely not raising the cheating/quitting transgressions to any higher level than to use them as evidence of, or lack thereof, a certain moral fiber that I would like to see in the sporting events I choose to watch as entertainment.

 

If Hitler could hit the ball like Babe Ruth, would you be in favor of him being the DH for the White Sox?

 

For those who say they'd not, yet are in favor of Manny doing so, where is the line of differentiation?

If I embarrass the Sox fans by mocking Kotsay, then you are being a massive hypocrite if you think we should boo Manny off the field. Pick a side of the fence.

They didn't have the DH when Hitler played.

LMAO! Ahahaha. I can just imagine that Greg was on a vacation in Boston and he comes into his hotel room to fine that Manny Ramirez took a dump on his pillow.

I draw that line at convicted felon.....I think Hitler had a decent shot at being convicted of some sort of felony offense.

 

What crime against society did Ramirez comit? He violated his own body but so did a poster on this site on more then one occassion within this thread alone.....and at work none the less.

The only reason he isn't a convicted felon is because baseball isn't releasing his drug tests from 2003 if you believe the reports. There could be a bunch of trafficing and using charges against him to do with that alone.

It's hard for me to compare someone that was responsible for murdering millions of people to a baseball player that took steroids.

but he hasn't half of baseball would be in jail if that is the case.

You are taking the overreacting to the whole next level. Don't watch sports if you base your moral values on millionaire athletes that play kids games for a living.

 

Most of these guys are horrible people and/or ordinary people with much much more money, it shouldn't come as a shock.

 

Honestly, what LBJ did is worse in my book than anything Manny did.
