Ponson went from a "losing culture" and a bad situation in Texas to a "winning culture" and a better situation in NY and pitched awfully. Just because the Yankees have good fans doesn't mean Washburn will automatically pitch well.

No way Boras let’s Manny sign before Tex. Tex sets the market, plus, those teams that lose out on Tex may be more inclined to up their offer to Manny.

All the shit he pull on Red Sox ownership and all the drama in the MIDDLE OF A PLAYOFF RACE. No one is questioning his bat only his head. Note: He had no problems with injuries in LA. Matt,

So people just have to decide what matters more to them. Personally, I could never root for the guy." Agree “These Manny debates fall along two lines, neither of which is arguable.
-His ability as a baseball player is inarguable
-His complete lack of integrity as a professional is inarguable.

So people just have to decide what matters more to them. Personally, I could never root for the guy.”

Agree

Reading all the "OMG Sox will killz us, Cash is an idiot -- how could we let this happen?" posts from earlier was funny as hell. Some of you guys are a Marketing person's wet dream. Apply Calculated Stimulus ---> Admire Predictable Response Someday you may just figure out that the media makes money by grabbing your attention and then playing on your emotions...or maybe not. ;-) I just got to this thread now (helluva day) after already having seen the Boston – Tex story.
