    as for the choke I'll give you that, but isn't the New York to Boston World series ratio like 7-1.

    LOL very true, but dont forget, manny was a big part in that. I believe he won a little award called WS MVP? But im sure Jason Bay will fill those shoes.

    Not sure how closely you have followed the situation but Manny forced the trade by bitching about his contract and asking not to play in games(claiming he was hurt etc..) Had they not traded him it was a good possibility that he would have stopped playing altogether(like he did a few seasons ago). Physical altercations, pushing down the 60+ year old Red Sox employee, and dogging it in the field and on the basepaths didn't help either. I'd rather have Bay in left field than anyone they had in-house.

    Why get rid of him now? Stupid. But thanks Boston, we Yankees fans appeciate it!

    Being a huge Manny fan, I was really dissapointed of his actions on and off the field this season. I do agree he was selfish and put himself first before the team, I think the Red Sox will be a better team without him and will rebound, Jason Bay coming over from the Pirates is hitting .282, with 22 HR's, 64 rbi's and 7 SB's, so he's no slouch. Dont count the Red Sox out, still a lot of games to be played!

    How will this affect Manny's Game Used gear especially his Red Sox stuff. I just bought a Manny GU jersey and an M9 slugger.

    well with Manny to the Dodgers and the Dodgers comin to AZ next season my autograph wish list for next spring just got longer. I managed to get Torre, Garciaparra,Jones and Kemp when the Dodgers came to AZ from China last spring but still have a few others to nab.

    Anyone know if Koufax or other former Dodgers hang around their camp during spring?

    Enjoy the inconsistent effort and the random asking out of the lineup. He showed at the end of his time in Boston that it had to be all about him. All he wanted to do was make sure that he is a free agent after the season and it looks like he got that. He gave up on his teammates and put the organization is a bad spot.

    Now that Manny is gone, i can say the yankees will make the playoffs this year. Good deal for the other teams just not the sox's.
