Disappointed in Manny Parra

[rluzinski]

I inquired about a 2011 Malibu 2LT and was told that it was Manny Parra's demo. They guy can't get himself into the LTZ trim or what? Maybe BR.net could take up a collection for the struggling lefty?

Everybody's talkin' at me...I can't hear a word they're sayin'...just drivin' around in Manny Parra's car...

[pebadger]

I went to dental school with Manny.

[markedman5]

Great Seinfeld reference by FIB!

 

 

I'd check out that title before I bought the car just to be safe................

[moofnelson]

I think a Ford "lack of" Focus would be a better car for Manny.

[bullox]

Someone get Suppan a Ford Escape. Or maybe a Lincoln get the heck out of Town Car.

Disappointed in Manny Parra?

Why? Because he's left-handed? You guys are are bunch of anti-left-ites.

Next you'll say "they" should have their own gloves and maybe their own scissors, too. We wouldn't want to share with the "lefties."

Check that glovebox for a pencil.

Sad how injuries can derail a career. Parra really hasn't looked the same as he did in the minors since his injuries.

Are you talking about injuries he had in the minors or injuries in the majors? I'm assuming his significant injury in the minors?

I don't know if it was the back injury he tried to pitch through in 2009 or the broken thumb on his pitching hand in 2007 or the various shoulder problems from 2003, 2004 and 2005. But when you can bring up 5 different years where he was hurt in a 7 year period it is hard to say that a pitchers career hasn't suffered for it..

His perfect game came post-major injuries, didn't it?

How did this thread take a serious spin?

[whizkid]

There are some serious dudes on this forum. I'm surprised someone hasn't posted 5 paragraphs countering moof's post.

I think it really has to do more with the Prince Fielder fight. We all know how tender little Manny Parra is, and Prince really hurt his feelings.

 

Before the fight:

151.1 IP, 69 ER, 4.10 ERA

 

After the fight:

212 IP, 136 ER, 5.77 ERA

 

The only logical explanation is that Prince Fielder has caused the downfall of Manny Parra. Prince must be DFA'd for his crimes, or else his presence will prevent Manny from ever achieving success.

Maybe Parra can set up a fight with someone he can beat thereby boosting his confidence and reversing the numbers.

Parra vs. Suppan.....a battle royale for a roster spot. Winner stays, loser.....GOES HOME!!!! :-)

I wonder if the car is full of used Kleenex from all the crying? He is very sensitive y'know.

[berniebrewer4life]

This thread needs it's own woahs solvedd style sub section. It's an instant classic.

[TooLiveBrew]

It's just kind of disturbing to me that the Eckstein photo is from Maxim. Or maybe we should all just feel lucky that he has so much clothing on.

[TheCrew07]

Is it wrong that I want to punch him before Manny gets a chance? However since the fight was Brewer related someone should find a blown up picture of tiny Marseco... not that I wish Michael any ill will, but if we're looking to give Manny a confidence boost he's the tiniest dude I can think of.

 

Then again, what if Manny lost? Marseco is also a scrappy, never say die, gamer type, he might win... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif

I'm definitely not disappointed in Manny after last night. He pitched great. Macha should have pulled him sooner, though. It was pretty obvious he was gassed.

i realize this was a joke, but DANG, you might have been onto something with this one.
