24 reasons why Manny MUST Stay!!

24. He is funny to watch in the field. He can make even the most routine play look exciting.
23. He wears ski hats during the summer. Everyone remembers him sliding into the wall to make a catch and his hat flying off to reveal a ski hat.
22. "Manny Being Manny". Those are the best T-shirts.
21. He is a 9 time All-Star.
20. He is a 7 time Silver Slugger.
19. He will never win a gold glove and we love that about him.
18. He hits HR's. That's all he does. He may complain off the field, but he always produces on it.
17. He wears the Oakley sunglasses with the MP3's in them during games.
16. Is there anyone you would rather have up with the bases loaded?
15. We won't get equal value. Trading Manny for anyone other than Pujols is like trading Pamela Anderson for that token girl in any Adam Sandler movie. She is a good actress, she may even be a little cute, and by the end of the movie you may even find her hot, but she doesn't have Pamela's "assets".
14. We wouldn't have a site http://www.keepmanny.com/ with over 65,000 people saying things they would do to keep Manny.
13. "Manny Being Manny" did I mention I love that slogan?
12. If we trade Manny who can we blame when things start to go sour? It's like when you always tell your teacher that your dog ate your homework, but then your teacher found out your dog is dead. You can't use the excuse anymore.
11. No one will pitch to PAPI, thus causing us to trade Manny and PAPI. (Figuratively, of course)
Quick Side note.

I hate Time Warner Cable. The on demand never works, and the Tivo is screwed up. Every other day I'm on the phone with them. I'm not sure how TWC get away with having a monopoly in the city.

10. It would leave us without that character in the clubhouse.
9. He always knows how to take a day off at the most inopportune time.
8. "Manny Being Manny" he even said that about himself.
7. He is a guy who can carry you on his back for a month while the rest of the team is struggling.
6. He can't have any weird nicknames like "Jeter swallows" or "Gay-Rod".
5. He always has crazy hair.
4. I wouldn't have an article to write on him.
3. Without him we wouldn't have the token "he didn't run to first on a groundout in TB when we are winning 17-1" play.
2. The Red Sox would not be as fun to watch.
And finally.....
1. "Manny Being Manny" without him it would be "Nixon Being Nixon". Yea I like the first one better too.

coming soon my picks for football this weekend.
