Manny Ramirez's 500 HR Watch

[j24jags]

I can't wait for his 500th, he deserves it

He's no Albert Belle, but he's a pretty good hitter none the less

One of my favorites to watch of this generation, and somehow I feel he may never get the respect as a hitter he deserves.

He has one of the sweetest swings we're going to see. He makes it look so effortless. I hope he has the monster year he's capable of and the Sox pick up his option. And he doesn't flake out in 09 and has another season to pad his Cooperstown credentials.

Good thread.

If Manny stopped playing today, he'd still be a first ballot.

But the countdown continues.

Manny is the best hitter I've ever seen.

Anyone who didnt take a 4th round pick on him this year is foolish...he will hit 35 HR and drive in 120 RBI's. I'm so happy people avoided him in my league. WOW.

Tell me about it.......in my 6 Keeper, 10 team league, I was able to get him with the SEVENTH Pick of the first round re entry.....(67th overall).......and I couldn't have been happier.

1st I can't believe he wasn't kept.........2nd, how in the f*ck do 6 other teams pass on him.

I'm a die hard Jays fan, and really don't care for the Sox, but I've always respected the sh*t out of what Manny can do with a stick.
