Manny to Dodgers??

Jason Bay isn't doing too badly either!

And it is more impressive that Bay is doing so well. After all, he is adjusting to playing in a much harder league (see inter-league stats) and in a league most certain to win the world series!!!

Would Cubs and Brewers fans who want Manny to do well now and are saying what a great hitter he is, change their tune if their teams had to go up against him in the playoffs?

And Manny takes a step down to inferior National League pitching. He is now facing the likes of batting practice pitchers. I am sure most American League batting practice pitchers could be at least a #4 or #5 starter on most NL teams.

He must feel like playing. Since joining the Dodgers, 13-23 with 4 HRS and 9 RBI's. And is his words, he "is just learning the league". GO MANNY

Another indication the AL is the superior league over the NL

Cubs, Brewers, doesn't matter. Whatever NL team shows up in the World Series will just be going thru the motions

I explained this in another post about motivation, better hitters surrounding him ,etc.
The AL is the better league and has been for a while by any measureable criterion and any baseball fan who looks at things objectively.
That being said, I give plenty of credit to Bay to doing so well so far in Boston, where fans and the press really do give a shit unlike Pittsburgh, where a 500 season would be something to shout from the rooftops!

I will say this-the NL must have superior sand in their infield at least in comparison to Fenway's which must be quicksand.
How else do you explain the fact that Manny took almost 6 seconds to run from homeplate to first a little over a week ago on a potential hit which would have broken up Lackey's no hitter as opposed to the other night at LA in his first game when he was running like a bat out of hell to beat out an infield hit?
