Uh oh, Manny hitting .200 with a .719 OPS,  .620 OPS in last 7 games, wonder where he ranks in WAR for MLB 3B, he's running away with the $$$/WAR title.

I’m pretty sure $30 mm for a projected 2.8 WAR is better than $23 mm for a projected -5.6 WAR.

Manny with the play in the RF corner.

That’s a seriously awesome play.   Where the hell was the RF?

You can see him in the video.

Yes I know.    But you’d think he’d have had an easier time getting to that ball than Manny.   Except it’s Manny.

Was Wil Myers in right.  Makes more sense now.

Jimmy Yacobonis traded from Padres alternate camp to Mariners alternate camp.

Schoop just crushes this ball to left.

A still shot from the shot.

The problem with making absurd posts like this after so few games is that you wake up six days later to find that Manny has an .876 OPS.    And like everyone else in MLB, he’ll probably bounce up and down several more times in this very short season.

That and it's petty to begin with.  What did Manny ever do to warrant an O's fan taking joy in his struggles?

webbrick2010 wasn’t a big Manny fan even when he was on the O’s and was downplaying his chances of getting a huge contract.

Not doing a scene-by-scene remake of Brooks Robinson's career, right down to the Norman Rockwell painting.

I guess it’s fun to take contrarian opinions and when once in a while they hit you can point out how smart you are. Like Abrams was the obvious #1 pick and Stewart will never get out of AA ball. No one goes back and checks how often you might have been wrong, especially for all these long term calls.
