What would be more interesting?

1. Who wins Manny and the Dodgers or The Redsox. It would be an I told you so either way.

2. Cubs win it all. I am tired of The Goat, Steve Bartman and any other curse not named Bambino.

3. Devilrays win it all. Yes, Devilrays, out of the east, out of nowhere.

If the Rays and their miniscule payroll win it all..that would just be awesome.

More interesting? Manny.

Better for baseball? The Rays.

I know what you're trying to say, but I personally think better for baseball means more people watch. The Rays can't even sell out their stadium, so who is going to watch them in the series?

The Red Sox and Dodgers are huge names in baseball. Throw in the Manny storyline and it could be something special.

I don't think they'll hurt for an audience either way. If the Sox don't win, then I like to see small-payroll teams win. I think that gives more small-payroll teams hope. And I think that's better for baseball to have more cities invested.

Cubs winning it all

Manny vs. Red Sox isn't that interesting at all. Depending on where he ends up signing, you might get to see the matchup 19 times a year. Besides, it's not as if Manny had spent his entire career in Boston and suddenly left. I don't see the allure.

For me the alluer is Manny showing the Redsox need him and the Redsox proving they don't. After all the Manny being Manny tirades, trade me/ I want to stay and Shilling calling him out, it is the drama of it. I know The Devilrays being small market/payroll will help prove you don't need money to win and the Cubs absence from the world series for so long are intriguing, but its the drama that people watch.

No team NEEDS any player. Just like in the real world workforce - - no one is irreplaceable. The Red Sox don't need Manny, in fact, some would argue they played better without him.

For me it would have to be Manny vs. The Redsox. Just think of how crazy people would be getting. Everybody would want to watch. If you hate manny you'll watch so you can see manny lose. If you like manny you would watch to see manny tee off on the sox. So on and so fourth. I doubt it will get there though.
