I'm sorry but Manny Ramirez is the worst defensive outfielder in the game. The Red Sox better figure out something or else his fielding mistakes are gonna end up costing them a game. He's lucky they pulled it out tonight otherwise he would've been in for a beating, especially with the way he's been hitting.
Barry Bonds is worse. Did ya see him in the world series against the Angels? Geesh! He was horrible. Ramirez has a problem not watching the ball into his glove, whereas bonds has a problem trying to barehand.
I do agree though that Ramirez needs to play much better. As far as "the way he's been hitting", he had an RBI tonight, somethin he didn't do throughout the entire ALCS. His bat will be fine in the Series I think, his glove is what I'm more worried about.
The pitch selection for Arroyo in the top of the 6th was disgusting. You can't throw 5 breaking balls in a row to Edgar Renteria and think you'll get away with it. Did the Sox not remember when he played in the 1997 World Series against the Indians???
