Texas Rangers sign Manny Ramirez

[SoWhat]

Just heard on MLB Network. He will report to Triple-A on Thursday.

what a joke

[nando714]

I dont like the sound of that. Him in that ballpark and his history of dominating the Angels. That ballpark once brought back a almost dead big daddy vladdy

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

It will probably turn out as well for Manny and the Rangers as it did for Manny and the A's last year. It's a minor league deal, so it's not a big deal if it doesn't work out.

It's a joke until the moment he hits a walk-off home run against us in a critical late September game.

 

I'm assuming for the moment there will be some critical late September games.

Which is the joke part?

[fan_since79]

Probably my assumption, because I can't think about it without laughing a little.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

He agreed to cut his dreads, but he's still going to take PED's.

[Erstad Grit]

I have a sense Manny has one more drug induced run left in him. This could be trouble for us. 

[SoWhat]

The guy was horrible for Tampa back in 2011. What makes anybody think he can be somewhat productive now that he's 2 years older

[Tank]

Doesnt he still need to finish serving a suspension or two?

Ramirez played in just five games for the Rays in 2011 before testing positive for elevated testosterone, which would have netted him a 100-game suspension ( MLB reduced it to 50 games). He agreed to retire instead and when he returned in 2012 in the A's system, he served a 50-game suspension in the minors. Unable to get into a groove, he eventually took his release from Oakland.

[Kenny]

Couldn't do much worse than Hamilton.

[Glen]

He'll have a 2-HR game against us and then retire for good.

[gotbeer]

F'ing Dipoto and not scouting internationally.  

[Erstad Grit]

We should sign Vlad as a counter move

[CaliAngel]

My thoughts: BOO on you Rangers. Not that you have a history of being a class act or anything anyway. 

 

This is why I'm a 2 strikes and you're out advocate when it comes to the suspensions/bans. 

 

Manny is not good for baseball anymore. Period.

Texas gets a PED user for 500K on a MILB deal. LAA gets a former heroin user for 125 million on a Major League deal. Tell me who the classless franchise is...

[Mark68]

Is there a restroom behind the LF fence in Arlington? If not, where does Manny go relieve himself?

Your team got him first.

[T.G.]

I hate the idea that Manny is getting another chance... but the fact that it is with the Rangers makes it perfect. 

[Mark68]

It's gotta be the hair.

It is not as if they are not 10 games ahead of us now. Manny is the epitome of washed up, he makes Pujols look newly minted.

Pretty obvious you're someone who still can't seem to let go of Hamiltons drug past despite his success in quitting and making something of himself via Major League Baseball.

 

Repeatedly referring to it as some sort of tool to throw low blows says all you have to know about someone with no class.

[austin724]

Manny should fit right in with the rest of the steroid taking Texas Rangers. Manny belongs in that piece of shit state.

[meat]

Manny Ramirez & the TX Rangers?

Do 2 hates make a like?

 

Classless signing.  Manabolic is bad for MLB.
