Just another typical ridiculous day in Red Sox "nation" - come on, people! Yesterday was one of the best days ever at Fenway Park? Are you kidding me? It was a joke! All of a sudden we love Manny again? How quickly we forget what happened a few days ago. What happens every year with this guy. He flakes. He doesn't play hard. He sits out games. This is someone to cheer? You can like his production and you can say without it the Sox don't have a chance to repeat - and I'd say you are correct on both accounts - but to act like all is fabulous and cheery and fine just because he apparently WANTS to be here, end his career here, is ridiculous. This is a scam. Do you really believe Manny wants to stay? Do you really believe he loves Boston and there's no other place for him? Give me a break. This guy is gone in the off-season and our future is better for it. The young guys coming up should have better role models than a guy who only plays when he wants to, who doesn't run out balls, who quits on his teammates. All for $20 million. I'll take supposed malcontents like Nomar - who played hard every single play of every single game, who gave so much to this organization and city, which people love to forget - than flakes like Manny Ramirez, even if they're one of the best hitters in the game. Some things are more important.
