    Somebody remind me what makes Jason Bay a "great" player.
    Is it the .223 average over the past 35 games or the 5 strikeouts tonight?

    Since he's spent almost a year in the AL now, is it possible the book on him has passed around the AL more substantially? He went 0-for-15 against the O's, and is 2-for-30 in his last seven games.

    Which means he's back to being the good... not even close to great... player he is.

    What a putz.

    He has a .921 OPS.

    What is Manny's OPS the past 50 games?

    I think you are overrating the package they got and underrating McLouth, especially given that his contract is relatively cheap. The guy is on pace for a 20-20 season with nearly 100 RBI despite missing some time with a sore hamstring and playing most of the year with the Pirates. They rushed into the deal and got less than they could have.

    Bay is a very good hitter in a miserable slump, possibly he caught it from Ortiz.
    But Simon, he's not quite the hitter Manny is. The trade worked out for the Sox because all they needed was a guy who was about 90 percent the hitter Manny is, which ain't chopped liver, so don't interpret that as a knock on Bay.

    Unfortunately for them, their bitches have left town and now they get to play real teams again.

    Jason Bay is not 90% the hitter Manny is.... maybe 65-70% at best.

    You're pathetic.

    A-Rod hit .207 in June but if someone jumped all over him you'd be making all sorts of excuses.

    Explain to me why anyone would think you know anything about baseball? All you ever do is complain and bitch. Omar Minaya sucks, the Mets suck, Jason Bay sucks, this sucks, that sucks.

    Pathetic. And boring.

    Oh, yeah, I always make excuses for A-Rod and the Yankees.
    You're a jackass.
