i officialy hate the fucking devil rays...
it appears as if this deal was set to get done until the devil rays wanted every top prospect from both the mets and the red sox included in the deal. it appeared as if the mets were willing to send top pitching prospect petite and top hitting prospect milledge, but boston, rightully so, was a little leary over sending their top two prospects and their best hitter in one trade. the mets and red sox dropped the devil rays and have been trying to get the deal done themselves, but thus far it's not working.
if i'm omar... if i can't get manny or soriano by the 4pm deadline tommorow, i simply hold out of any trade and wait till the offseason, and then retry to acquire ramirez from the red sox in the offseason, when it should be a much easier thing to get done.
