EI just came back on. The CSR at Comcast actually told me to check the wires on my cable box. Yeah, because if you can get every channel but a few, that MUST be the issue. Dolts.

And Im having trouble with the Extra Innings package as well. Guessing it has to do with Fox exclusivity, which is fine, but the Sox game has been over for more than 15 minutes. LETS GO!

Two quick things pogo: 1) Manny is the anti media whore. He has not spoken to the Boston media (or, really, any media) for the last two years 2) Boston would be getting JJ for their long term future. I think we can all agree he is now very solid, with the potential to be great, and they do have a HUGE hole there, with Alex Gonzalez a FA at the end of the year, and no real candidate in the minors. This would appeal to Bostons long term need at SS, and a short term need at closer and RF.

As a Brewer fan living in Boston, Ive been listening to recent developments about Manny Ramirez demanding to be traded from Boston, with approx 2 years, 40 million due to him. Sox color man Jerry Remy appeared on the local sports radio station and claimed today that Manny has submitted a list of at least 10 teams he will accept a trade to (with 10/5 rights, he can veto any trade). While I doubt the Brewers are one of the teams he listed, as a huge Manny and Brewers fan I thought I would come up with a trade I thought would benefit both teams. Let me know what you think: Its been said the Sox are willing to accept some of Manny salary, so might the Brewers be willing to pay Manny, say, 2 years left @15 million per year, if the Red sox were to take Geoff Jenkins 1 year @ 9 million of the books. They might. Heres the list of bounty I came up with the Brewers could offer: Geoff Jenkins (nearing the end in Milwaukee, could resurge in Bostons bandbox, and his defense is always great, but tough hitting against lefties ? throw in the ?bulldog? attitude and hes almost a Trot Nixon clone, who is a FA and almost certain to leave Boston this year) JJ Hardy (Brewers could go with infield of Hall, Graffy, Weeks, and Fielder next year ? Cirillo and Koskie, if he comes back, as very competent backups ? Red sox get their shortstop of the future) Francisco Cordero (also high salaried - in brewers speak ,1 year / 5 million left ? this would also help the bullpen woes of the Sox and allow Papelbon to move to the rotation) That?s a decent package for the sox. I hate to include Cordero, but it seems the Sox will require pitching. I think, actually, the Brewers might be reluctant to do that package.
