Come back here later today and we’ll discuss the Manny Ramirez saga, which I’m assuming will be have some interesting turns today. If he is traded, I’m sure his legacy will be up for debate. Let’s chat a little later.

The trade deadline is tomorrow. Manny Ramirez is up for grabs. What do you think? I’m assuming the responses will be all over the map. My view is the Red Sox can do nothing if they want to win a World Series in 2008. He, unfortunately, is a key cog on offense. Do you agree?
At bat No. 4 1. Ball 2. Foul (he swung for the fences, fouling behind the backstop. 3. A soft single over the first basemen’s head in front of the right fielder. He was removed from the game, getting a standing ovation, and replaced with a pinch hitter.
Here was Ortiz’s third at bat: At bat No. 3 1. Ball (inside fastball) 2. Strike (called inside) 3. Pop up weakly to first base.
Here is Ortiz’s second at bat: At bat No. 2 1. Ball (outside, but close) 2. Ball (inside at his feet) 3. Base hit to left center, a line drive over the shortstop’s head.

I have a column in today’s Eagle-Tribune laying into Jonathan Papelbon for his ill-advised, in my opinion, comments about wanting to close the All-Star game in lieu of Mariano Rivera. You don’t need me to repeat the column. You can check it out here. Let me know what you think. I will say this. He [...]
Do you agree with All-Star game winner getting homefield advantage in WS?

Again, I am warming on this notion, which is probably crazy. But the game really means something. The players really care. So do the managers, as we saw from Terry Francona’s celebration when the run scored at 1:50 a.m. Maybe it could be tweaked so as to add a few more pitchers, probably starters, who [...]
Here are 10 questions to ponder as the 79th All-Star game begins tonight: 1. What is the most intriguing story of this All-Star game? Josh Hamilton is by far the best story. His baseball career was practically dead and buried but now a star is born. He was the first overall pick in 1999, disappearing [...]
I will be at the park for tonight’s game. If you have any thoughts, questions or comments throw them this way. I will chime in if anything interesting happens.
