Boras is not the devil, he is Hitler! The way he maneuvered MR like a puppet with the sole intent of creating a new contract that only Boras will benefit from is comparable to Hitler gaining Austria and Czechoslovakia without firing a shot, simply by browbeating. The only injuries to Manny's knees or hamstrings are in his head, after all there's a lot of confusion, what with his ass being in there too and all. I think last night was typical of what we'll see the rest of the year out of these guys. Manny goes 2 for 4, great numbers but no real contribution, while Bay goes 1 for 3, getting a wall ball triple and scoring the winning run with 2 outs in extra innings, on a hit Manny would have a gotten a single out of. He also made a diving defensive play that Manny would not have made this year. Manny hitting .330, 40 HR and 120 RBI's is a higher liability than a guy with good fundamentals, common sense, and less impressive stats.
