The Jason Bay Era begins




The maps for Page 2 polls are always interesting. When the question is who will win next golf tournament Tiger Woods or Field? 49 states choose Tiger, Nevada always chooses field. Today's Manny legacy poll is interesting because as big a goofball as Manny is I have to believe the Massachusett respondents got it right.

Over his career Manny averages 39 doubles, 40 HomeRuns and 130 RBIs a season. Albert Pujols has got to be the only right handed hitter more feared in majors today and he has been doing it half as long.

If wagering were available I would wager that Scott Boras orchestrated most of this in order to get paid. It will be interesting to see how much the Cubs, Mets or even Yankees shell out to add Manny to lineup next season.

It is a sad day in Red Sox nation when Manny has to go because he has quit on team.

He's the best modern day right-handed hitter but I'm tired of his approach to the rest of the game....good riddance...

The Cubs already have a power hitter who sucks at playing left field, so I don't see them picking him up.
