Manny

Manny Ramirez got traded from the sox today. Can't really blame the managment - he put them in a tough spot. It is the end of an era though. It disappoints me most because it just showed he never really cared about playing here at all. It was just all about the paycheck. I'm not making a judgment about him - it's just that the truth is a little disappointing as a fan. The sox will be fine in the long run without him.

I bought my brother a Manny jersey around the time he came to the team. I thought there'd be good value in it since he had singed such a long contract. He did stick it out for 7 1/2 of the 8 years, so that's a while, especially in today's sports world.
