Jason Bay is a moderately talented outfielder, who has been toiling in obscurity for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Aside from being easy to nickname (Jason "The Pirate" Bay, Jason "Sittin on the Dock of the" Bay), he is a few years younger than Manny, a better fielder than Manny, and maybe 85% of the hitter that Manny is.
But he's not Manny.
He is not the Bad Man.
I don't think anyone knows whether or not Bay will be the same October hitter that Manny is, since Bay, I don't believe, has ever played in a postseason game.
Say what you will about the Bad Man. He's been a handful, but he could hit, when it counted, like nobody's business. A monster.
BTW, Fernando Rodney just gave up a homer to Kelly Shoppach to blow a save, so maybe that helps explain their Kyle Farnsworth lust. But still, he's Kyle Farnsworth! What do you expect him to be other than Kyle Farnsworth?
I did not even watch the Tribe game....Once they blew an 8-1 lead it was over for me.
ReplyDeleteTheo does not like personalities...Manny is a personality all his own.
Manny is the sole citizen on Planet Manny.
ReplyDeleteLazy, headstrong, erratic, whatever-Lord, the man can hit.
