I'm gonna do something here, that I never thought that I would do. And it pains me to do it more than most of you can imagine. I would like to take this moment to commend the Boston Red Sox.
I hate the Red Sox more than any other sports team, but they did good in dealing away Manny. No more Manny being Manny BS, the guy is 100% with what is wrong with baseball.
He is a guy who is an incredible hitter. He's put up Hall of Fame numbers. But I'd like to be the first to say, in my book, he's not close to being a Hall of Famer.
On the plus side, he's a great hitter, good power and average numbers. By all accounts, he's a great teammate, with many players saying that they love being around him. He's a fan favorite, well, sometimes he is. Big Friggin Deal!
He made millions a year. But that was NEVER enough. He was always crying that he never felt wanted. They pay you $20000000 a year retard, that's plenty reasons showing that they want you.
He always has an injury a year that keeps him out a few weeks. Some legitimate, some because I don't think that he works as hard as he should.
He doesn't hustle. When he's pouting, it's even worse. For that much money, he should hustle his ass down the line every play. This is the thing that bugs me the most. I hope that my grandkids, since my kids hate sports, never watch a video of this guy, and think that is how the game is played.
And lastly, his long hair, his sloppy uniform...absolutely no respect for the greatest game on earth. I'm disgusted with him every time I see him.
But being a Yankee's fan, and him a Yankee killer, I'm doubly glad he's gone. I just wish the Red Sox would have traded him to the Pirates, so he can sit in last place, and miss what he really had. But he's gone, the Red Sox are a worse team because of it, and thats great to.
Go Yankees
