Manny Ramirez Akadema Glove

[wbunnell]

I was just watching the NLCS game and they showed a close up of Manny in the outfield shaping his glove. Its his usual Akadema red and blue game day glove but it looks like he tried to dye the red leather blue. It looks horrible. Not trying to rank, I understand its his gamer and the colors no longer matched his team. I kept pausing and using slo mo on the dvr to take a look at it. The dye job was all blotchy with patches of red still showing.

in all fairness the guy is a moron.

He should have kept the blue web, and just dyed the red.

I hope Manny gets to the World Series and faces Boston. I wouldn't care which team won, but I'd love to see him wear out the Red Sox, and force them to walk him every time he's up.

IN ALL FAIRNESS MANNY RIGHT NOW IS THE BEST HITTER IN BASEBALL

[Chicago Red Sox Fan]

...and he'll go into Cooperstown as the best right-handed hitter ever.

But let's be clear guys, Manny is not sitting around a sink in the clubhouse with a bottle of leather dye. Manny has people (that he'll push to the ground when they don't get him tickets...)

Interesting, I feel quite the opposite. I'm a diehard Sox fan and I hate Manny for (at least what I perceive is) quitting on the Sox by feigning injury and forcing them to trade him so he could hit a big payday. This is all in addition to the fact that my NL team is LA.

I was raised a Dodgers fan and remember where I was when Kirk Gibson hit the homer to beat the A's in '88. I converted to the Sox in the 90s but still have a soft spot for my number two team. So any other time I would want the Dodgers to win the Series, but if they face Boston, I hope the Sox (and Jason Bay in particular) CRUSH them just because of Manny. It would really tick me off to see him beat the Sox to get another ring.

Right now yes...there are few guys that arent in the playoffs.

Ever? Maybe, depends on how a few other careers pan out. He is a great hitter no doubt.

He will also go in with the stigma of being a DOG when Manny wanted to be Manny. He was a complete disgrace the last few weeks with the Sox.

You are right about the glove...no way he did that dye job.

I am a huge Red Sox fan, but I will be the first to say, that faking injuries, and not trying like he did in his last portion of time with the Sox was just plain bush league. I will agree with the fact that he is the best right handed hitter in pro baseball right now. I don't want to hear that Arod is, because what you do in the postseason outweighs your overall numbers and separates you from other players that have comparable numbers, and plain and simple when the post season hits Arod chokes, end of story.Manny has hit safely in something like 21 postseason games or LCS games the announcers said, not to mention he's the all time leader in postseason HR's. I'm from So Cal, and am not a dodgers fan, Manny carried that team from the time he showed up. Without him they wouldn't have even gotten in. Haha, and as far as his glove looking terrible, well it's appropriate being that he may be one of the worst MLB outfielders fielding wise to ever play the game hahah.

Sorry to have touched some nerves with the Manny post. I wasnt trying to stir up a anti/pro Manny debate. Just wanted to comment on the glove, and no I dont think he did the job himself.

With all the Sox fans on the board I wont even get into Mike Timlins glove. That would probably start an all out war.

Ok I wont tell you Arod who is only going to go down as a top 5 player, but because of his post seaons I wont argue but, How about that guy in St Louis...forget his name...Albert something?

Cant lose with any of the three. All great hitters.
