Buh-bye, Manny

I hope Manny Ramirez gets what he wants in LA - a team that appreciates him for being the great player he so clearly is. Here in Boston he was expected to run out his hits and try to field balls hit in his general direction. I mean, can you imagine the gall, expecting him to do the whole job he was being paid for, not just the part he enjoyed? No wonder he wanted out of here so bad. We actually expected him to play baseball for millions of dollars a year as part of a team. Ridiculous.

Poor Jason Bay, what a sucker. It looks like he might actually be a team player who will do his best in every game. He won't have Manny's home runs, or style, or piss-poor attitude, but what can you expect for a player who earns so much less than Ramirez.

LOL!!!!

I was very happy, and not surprised, to see Bay get a warm welcome from the Fenway faithful. I've been sick of Manny being Manny for a few years now, and it looks like a lot of other people have come around to the same opinion, including every other MLB team. He has been poisonous in the clubhouse and selfish from the get-go. No doubt he'll bust his ass this season, because he isn't the youngest guy on the block anymore and he's going to want a multi-year deal at the end of this season. But as for me, I'm delighted to have Jason Bay. He'll fit in nicely. Let Manny be Manny on the left coast.
