Manny, oh manny
Posted by blackramfarm on July 31, 2008
Well, after the all Star Break, most Red Sox fans can anticipate the beginning of the end. Time to put the lawn chairs back in the garage.
Let me clarify. Red Sox fans are those who were fans before the Sox won a world series this century. Not the come this side of the fence because the Sox actually won the big one. What was the big one? The series where the Sox came from behind to beat the Yankess for the for the league championship. The World Series was icing on the cake. I cried and like most real Sox fans, walked around in a daze for a couple of days.
Manny annoyed me then, especially his droopy pants. But I forgave his insolence because he was a stranger in a strange land. Now it seems as if his arrogance has caught up with him. $$Too Manny Problems $$$ said a sign at Fenway.
I agree. Manny you can just be Manny somewhere else. You have worn out your welcome. I would like to see a trade to someone who has good sportsmanship, not an over inflated ego.

Never had any interest in baseball, maybe because I was put through the painful process of watching my kids play. However I watched each and everyone of the World Series in 2006 until the weee hours of the morning sometimes. I was ever so tired that week. But quickly forgot about it when I won the bet with another gal at work that liked the Yankees. I too cried when they won. What a moment. My husband was not so happy when he awoke at 1 am to my screaming “they won, they won” . Papplebon and Beckett are my two favorite players. I was sad to see Manny go but relieved in a way also. It was time for him to move on as well as the team. So if anyone knows where they can get there hands on a pink Papplebon or Beckett t-shirt let me know. I don’t have time to watch the games but follow closely with the news papers and listen when the games are on the radio.
