Manny Who?

GO SOX!!

Yeah, bring it back to Boston and win the next two to take the pennant, come on, you know you wanna. On to the World Series baby! You can do it! We love you all..... except Manny. Manny being Manny just pisses me off. I've played ball for almost 30 years.... yikes.... wow, I'm old.... ok, now I'm depressed... where was I? Oh yeah, GO SOX and Manny sucks!

Granted I may have a competitive edge that turns some people off when it comes to playing ball but when you see the effort that some of the guys like Youkilis and Lowell, Veritek (my man) or Coco and yes, even JD Drew are putting into the game, you gotta get pissed at Manny. Trotting out of the batters box (always been a pet peeve of mine) or not sliding when he's coming into a play at home, come on. Do you want to win or do you want more camera time about how you're just being you. Well, here's me, flipping you off... wait, no, blowing you kisses (like grandma taught me).

Ok, yeah, he's got a bat but if it's not out of the park, it is a single or an out. Good arm, when he plays the ball right but I don't see the love, nor do I feel it. Is he worthy of that Red Sox jersey? I don't think so. If you want publicity, a screaming crowd and a big pay check then go play for the Yankees. Yes, I said it, Yankees. I was hurt when Johnny went over to the Dark Side, any other team would have been OK but to go from the Sox to the Yankees put a bad taste in the mouths of (ex)Damon fans. In Manny's case, I would throw Manny at the Yankees if I thought it would make him go away. He's a downer.

Ok, my friends don't agree with me. They love Manny, as do many, many fans. I just can't do it. Even when 2 of my girlfriends (Sue and Cheryl) and I went to Spring Training (a yearly trip for the girls) I wouldn't take a picture of him. I think I accidentally got him in a shot but I'm sure I deleted it before it could corrupt the other pictures. Ok, I'm really not that bad but the man just aggravates me.

OK, I'm done venting.... GO SOX!
