Mets are crazy if they sign Manny

I agree 100%. This guy is the classic, go crazy in your contract year and be on your best behavior so you can fool people into thinking this is the way you are all the time, kind of guy. I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole.

He would look good in right field for the phillies

Do you think the fact that the Mets did not get Manny had anything to do with the Sox wanting Jason Bay (and rightly so). Bay has turned out to work pretty good so far for Boston.

Let it go Wally, Let it go.

Over the years, Manny has been an eccentric, but lovable, hitting manchine. Now, he's become a distracting, and disruptive, hitting machine. Some of the stunts he pulled in his last weeks with the Red Sox made a mockery of the importance of the games in which he played. Then, the shoving to the floor of a sixty-something administrative assistant in the clubhouse over guest ticket availability, became the beginning of the end. The majority of insiders here in the Boston area feel all of the in-game stunts and the shoving incident were all staged to hasten his departure from Beantown. Ya gotta hand it to him; it worked perfectly. Manny's a strange guy; his history with the Sox is punctuated with incidents involving sudden, unexplained periods of dissatisfaction with management to the point of wanting to be traded only to have everything turn 180 again. Matthews said it perfectly - Ramirez is a great player to rent but not to own. Amen.

Whatever you say Wally Mets or Yankees should do the opposite. Mets should sign Manny.

The Phillies wouldn't sign him because:
1)They don't need him
2)He is 37 years old
3) They wouldn't sign him if he was 30 years old because they are too cheap;

The Mets if they make him an offer, should not offer him more then 2 years

Manny was fine and the Red Sox accepted him with all his quirks. The problem came where it was reported the Red Sox would exercise the 2009 $20 million option, then backed off. At that point Manny quit and forced the Red Sox to trade him AND pay the remaining 2008 salary...

If you want Manny, give him a contract with no options. He's DESTROYING NL pitchlng. He going to have fun with Citizens Bank Park...

Too bad the Phillies didn't have him now. I would put Manny in LF and try to trade Burrell for some pitching. That would make the Phillies the favorites in the NL East...

I agree. Jason Bey along with Kevin Youkilis and Dustin Pedroia will be the cornerstones of the Red Sox for the next 5 years minimum...

I love how if the Mets take his advice and don't sign Manny, and Manny has a huge year next year, he will write an article about how the Mets messed up by not signing him...I HATE YOU WALLACE

Whenever you write it sounds like a challange. That you really would go on the bandwagon if it works. Wallace your incredible stupid. I do not think he is coming but I feel if it could work in LA it could work here. What Manny does not want is interference. if he likes the person he will play hard if he does not like the person he will put on the dog.

So, in other words The Mets don't need him. Good post

You apparently specialize in cheap-shots rather than facts. And, just how many empty seats were there at Shea at the end of any other part of the season? Not very many. You're another one of those writers who cites Met fans as being sick and tired of the team doing this and doing that when the truth is that the fans remain loyal while idiots like you keep attempting to disparage them. If the fans are so disenchanted why did so many keep going to Met games?

I agree with you BUT they should limit the cotract to 2 years. He's 37 now, how much productivity especially in the field can you expect from a 40 year old?

I think they will go after him and three years and an option will probably work.. He's too good a clutch hitter to pass up and he'll take the pressure off the rest of the lineup like he's done in LA.. I would love to see him and Torre go to the WS and put a hurtin on the Red Sox..

If Manny continues to have the post season he's having, I don't believe anything less than a 4 year deal will work. Maybe less overall dollars per season, but the 4th year needs to be guaranteed...

The sad part is someone will give it to him...

at 37 and the fact that he is a cancer the mets should stay away. you want this guy playing LF every day?

I hope After the World Series and the off-season begins, That the Mets are serious about picking up some free-agents to fix the starting and relief pitching woes. I hope they don't do like every year sit on their butts and wait til all the good free-agents are, and then up with the excuse that there nobody out there thats good. The Mets higher - ups seem to do that every year to avoid spending money, so they have more in their pockets. They don't seem to understand that when you get quality players, more fans will come to the stadium to see them play. which means more revenue. Du-uh.

Wouldn't that be peotic justice!

he justs wants to be with Pedro again...that's all.

I stopped reading after he said he would give Manny the MVP based on 2 months work.....what a colossal dope....

Wallace obviously is Retarded. Or a yankee fan!
