Remember all the 'What's wrong with Manny' questions, started the year in a Rob Funk!

What was he , something like no homers after 20 games and his average was way down in the low .200's ....

Manny is back on pace to hit about 45-46 HR, drive in 130, average at .309 , and still will not win MVP this year.

I am still in a Rob Funk but I am really glad Manny is playing well again.

I agree with Fish, his defense is way under rated.

He wears really baggy pants too. No one ever mentions this.

Could be something to it.

The guy is a career .314 hitter , you just don't think of Manny over .300 and he's way over...plus a great eye.

His aloof nature and some of those defensive blunders in post season tend to make people overlook just how great a ballplayer he really is....I could see Manny getting close to Willie Mays eventually...

And this could very well be his best HR year, with 45 being the most he ever hit, he is on pace.

I've always notice that about him, same with the jersey, always baggy...

Similar to Kevin Seitzer, remember how Seitzer wore a jersey like a size or two ,too big and he seemed to be uncomfortable in it...Manny likes to wear the loose uniform, so he can let her rip!

As big a free swinger as he is, he has a great eye and a great career BA.

HELLUVA CAREER!

ROB-On Mannys defense, it really sucks that the 2-4 bonehead plays he makes a year gets blown out of proportion so much. Not saying he is an even an above average defensive player, but he is certainly not as terrible as everybody makes him out to be or assumes he is. He actually plays LF and the wall very, very well in Fenway. If not mistaken, he lead the AL in OF assists last year or was close anyway. As a Red Sox fan, I have absolutely no qualms with Mannys defense in leftfield currently.

I remember one game a few years ago Jerry Remy said "I was talking to Manny before the game and he seemed really down on himself. He kept saying 'I got no pop, I got no pop' Well he certainly showed a lot of pop there, taking it into the upper deck."

As stated many times, he is one of the top five elite RIGHT-HANDED hitters one will ever lay eyes on in their lifetimes.

Great command of the strike zone.

Remembr the spike getting caught incident that almost cost Boston the WS Appearance?

That error would have been the end of Manny in Boston!

If the Yankees would have scored in that inning he would have went down along side Buckner, Stanley, Torrez , Grady etc...

They would have had no choice but to run him out of town, just like Grady Little.

You know what is amazing looking at those stats!?

Manny has NEVER walked over 100 times in one season!!!

Amazing for a guy with such talent and such a great eye.

He has had great protection and lineups to be on his career which aids that as there is always a lot of runners on 1st base when he comes to bat.

However, I have always thought pitchers and opposing teams do not pitch around Manny enough..........he seems to always get good pitches to hit, which is actually a testitude to his greatness.

Do you really believe he was born in 1980?

:puppy:

In all seriousness I love Albert Pujols , I don't think he's clean or 26.

How did we get on this subject anyway? So what he homered today :nopityA:

PUJOLS is destined to have a better career than MANNY.

Still, for at least another 2-3 years though, we have to give MANNY respect and credit for his longevity, World Series ring, and entertainment.

PUJOLS will get his due in time if he continues to perform and nothing appears to be stopping that.

But make no mistake about it, MANNY is the CURRENT MAN when comparing these two...............like I said, for at least another 2-3 years anyway if both continue on their current paces.
