Well, this has been "old news" since 4:35 pm yesterday, but I'll comment nonetheless. Manny is now part of the LA Dodgers, thanks to his repeated requests [over the past several years] to be traded and his inexcusably bad behavior in the past few weeks (including but not limited to: publicly insulting owner John Henry, contracting injuries that were unverifiable, barely playing the sport, and speaking badly about the Red Sox -- "They don't deserve me."). He was fun and we put up with his antics for a long time. He was a great hitter and enjoyed his 500th home run at Fenway Park this summer. He'll be missed, but, not really.
One more note, Manny's agent is Scott Boras, a take-no-prisoners kind of guy (see The New Yorker's Article, The Extortionist, for more). He undoubtedly had his hand in this mess.
On to better things, like the upcoming weekend. I can't wait! Have fun :)
