I’m glad to see Manny Ortiz hanging around with the Massachusetts Red Socks for years to come. John Kerry will be happy.

Saw similar story posted on MLB Trade Rumors. The comments were vicious between Yankee and Sox fans. Libtards really are a bunch of terrible turds.

Hope he’s prepared for the Indians to humiliate the Sox in the playoffs.
