Power to the people

On a slow news day, The Soxaholix have to peel back the layers to reveal the big stories …

Bill:
You know, instead of calling in to talk radio or commenting on blogs and message boards, irate Red Sox fans should really take to the streets with a naked protest.

 

---

Doug:
Oh, yes, absolutely. If I said it once, I've said it a thousand times: There is nothing like a naked protest to earnestly get one's point across and make the oppressahs bend to your will. I mean if a lezbo chick with big tits and a beard were holding a sign on Yawkey Way reading "Trade Manny!" what friggin choice would the front office have?

 

---

Bill:
Would that really be enough or would you also need "inflated scrotum old hippie guy" to take to the Boston streets as well?

 

---

Doug:
Christ, I'm so disappointed our old friend the inflated nut sack old dude. I mean he goes from this career peak to only this half-inflated crap?

 

---

Bill:
Yeah, but the dude's a total gamah, though. I mean he's out there naked doing his paht even when he can't get a full nutsack inflation.

 

---

Doug:
Manny take note: Does inflated nutsack old guy need a day off? No fucking way! Even the dreaded half-inflated scrotum won't deter him from helping his team of anarchists.

 

---

Bill:
Fercrissakes our children need role models and shit.

**OW! Giggity Giggity Giggity!!**

HEY! STOP STEALING MY LINES!!

Manny not in the lineup tonight, but Cameron is. Wait and see...

What is the deal with Manny being pulled from the starting lineup minutes after the game started?? I have a really, really bad feeling about this. The kind of feeling every Red Sox fan probably had when Babe Ruth got traded to the Yankees. :-(

Let's hope it works out for the best. In Theo we trust. But if we traded Manny for two sub-par outfielders and a setup pitcher, God help us.

A report from the front office during the game said it was Tito's game-time decision to scratch Manny, and as of now he's not going anywhere. I'm not too worried. About the only deal for Manny that would make sense is if we got some lights-out pitcher with a hefty contract that could potentially offset Manny's contract or like the top two prospects in the minors right now. Like Gagne or Halladay or Smoltz. Anything else is just a waste. If you're going to remove Manny's RBI production you ought to do something to seriously cut down on RBIs produced by the other team. And since it's not likely we're going to get anyone like that, I think there's a fair chance nothing's gonna happen.

Whoo, 6-2 win, back to 2.5 up on the spanks...

Just heard on ESPN's Baseball Tonight that the Manny deal with the Mets is "99.9% dead." So we will have to wait and see, but maybe this is it. There are really no great pitchers available for us out there this year because there are so many possible playoff-bound teams. Can we do it this year with Wade "Boy does my rotator cuff hurt a lot" Miller, instead of another quality starter? I certainly hope so. I'll help hold the Red Sox Nation fort down here in Philly. Let's go, Red Sox!! :-)

Sox obtain Jose Cruz, Jr...his Pops was a MLBer I recall from Houston. The mad three stripe unis and shit.

ESPN:Cruz won a Gold Glove in 2003 and had made only 10 errors total in his four previous seasons. He seemed hesitant and unsure when playing at Tropicana Field.

Uhh..no stick, possible phat glove as Trot's replacement...as with the Manny talk, no one has addressed the bullpen.

Hello?

Yes, I'm drunk...

[americantrotter]

Well Manny did the business. All the haters gotta keep quiet. That group apparently includes some more media members than originally thought.

Looking forward to what the gang has to say about yesterday afternoon, h.b.
