People have asked me how I feel about Manny being traded by the Sox. Please watch the following video, then continue reading*:



For what it's worth, I am positively thrilled that the Sox finally dumped that asshole. I could put up with him for a while, and we all did, but it grew tiresome over the last couple of weeks. The open criticizing of management and the fact that he actually said "The Red Sox don't deserve me," is enough to give him the boot. Not so worried about giving up Moss and Hansen, unfortunate, but necessary, especially considering that the Sox got Jason Bay in return. I can see him hitting 4th behind Ortiz, or even 3rd, in front of him. The options abound. They'd better lock him up asap, I'd love to see him in a Sox uniform for a long long time.



* Note that the video is complete with an all-white gospel choir, with an awkward, far too excited soloist. Made me laugh entirely too much for my own good. Look, it was either this or a clip from Sister Act, your choices were limited.
