Hey, Manny?
You're unhappy? Feel that you have no privacy? Want a trade? Know what I have to say?
SEE YA!
Yeah, yeah, I know, he's the great Manny, and a damn good player he is; I will never take away how good he is, or how much he has added to the Sox. Part of me would hate to see him go. But ,I am so sick and tired of this ego garbage, and of celebrities whining and crying because they are in the limelight. Duh, Manny, what do you expect, especially when you yourself INVITE a fair share of the exposure?!
I felt the same way when Roger left, and when Pedro left; hey, you're not happy, then buh-bye. And I remember all the teeth gnashing that went on, the 'Oh, how will we EVER get by? We can't do ANYTHING without Roger/Pedro! WAHHHHHH!' Well, newsflash- we did just fine without Roger, and IMHO, are doing just fine without Pedro; because baseball is a team sport, and regardless of what Roger, Pedro and Manny contributed to the team SKILLS wise, their over inflated egos and self - centeredness (Pedros many spur of the moment trips home, for example) greatly detracted from the team, though you may be hard pressed for anyone in the organisation to admit as much. Case in point; Francona should have demanded that Manny play for Trot, no ifs, ands , buts or 'I'm Tireds'. That was a classless thing for Manny to do, his refusal to help the team when they really needed him to.
Right now Manny's playing with a double edged sword as far as the media and his privacy issues go, and in the process, he is starting to really alienate ALOT of fans. That's a shame, because though we here in Boston may be some of the toughest fans around, we are also among the most loyal and appreciative. So careful what you wish for Manny, and if you are really THAT unhappy here, and want to go? Well, then, you know what you can do about that door on your way out.

selfishness is sooo unbecoming, I thought you played on a TEAM. Maybe the next time you should be sent down to the minors for a while. The boston fans are loyal to your team why not give it back to them. Besides look at the message you sent out to the kids who worshipped you.
