I certainly appreciate everything that Manny has done for the organization.
Let's face it, without him we don't win in '04 or '07. The problem is, Manny was never the type of guy who you could completely embrace. He's always been a headcase and as long as he was putting the numbers up, the Sox fans were always willing to look the other way. He's a desperate man right now. He's getting older and he's not going to get the contract he's banking on for next year. I'll always remember the big hits and the "Manny being Manny" moments, but in the end, he's just another very talented athlete who thinks he's bigger than the game.

Truth be known, he is the only one on the Dodgers that can hit good pitching. That's it. One guy(better than none.) Without him, there really is no need to make the playoffs, cuz this bunch wasn't gunna hit in the post much(at all.) I guess you can say Blake, also, but you can't rely on him doing it. This is the best hitter we have ever had here. That's just a fact.
