ction Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I'm wracking my brain for a Manny-to-LA Photoshop job to send to bostondirtdogs. Any ideas? The only thing I thought of today was a photoshopped version of the Platoon movie poster, changed to read "Pontoon". In a large, brightly colored font. Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Wthout making a trade we added three difference makers to the rotation. Don't get too happy. Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Negative. Looks like Matthews got his 500th homerun in a Houston uniform and I don't think Hank had reached 500 before he left. Question wasn't very clear -- I meant both guys who had already surpassed 500 homeruns batting in the same lineup. I understood what you were going for actually -- I almost said Murray and Palmeiro for that half a season they were on the O's together but that was before Palmeiro had 500. I was actually just flat out wrong on when Matthews and Aaron hit their 500th. Oops. Another instance of two 500 homer guys in the same line up before they hit their 500th, though, is Thome and Manny back in Cleveland. Also Ted Williams and Jimmie Foxx.

jmacomber68w Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 espn's cold-hard facts about 5 minutes ago, "all these problems with manny started 1 1/2 weeks ago" ummm no maybe 8 years ago,. The real problems came when he quit on the sox in 2006. It wasn't worth the risk of having Manny quit again this year. I like the trade I just wish we could have gotten a lefty bullpen guy from somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I was thinking of ideas, nothing solid though. Wish there was.photoshop a prada handbag and a little tiny tea cup dog on to one of his outstretched arms home runs deals. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Substitute Manny-500-homerun-pose for Steve Martin.Excellent idea. If you can get the shot with the fans going apeshit with their hands raised in the background, even better, Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 That is a great idea, I wish I had the werewolfal to execute it now. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 This is the one I'm thinking of. This wasn't #500, but a walk-off HR: Link to post Share on other sites

sweetheart-mine Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I just realized I doubt Manny is gonna have his dirt crusted helmet any more.oh well. maybe they can auction off his along with trot nixon's and orlando cabrera's and make a bundle for the overtime put in at next year's trade deadline or post-season free-agent gala. p.s. does anyone know if torre will make manny cut his hair, or has torre loosened up a bit since escaping from ny?

MrRain422 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I doubt it. If that were the case, Manny probably wouldn't have waived his no-trade clause. Also, I think those were Steinbrenner's rules, not Torre's. Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 No real reason to think this other than that he's available, but I'm thinking the Tigers new backup catcher will be Paul LoDuca. Link to post Share on other sites
