I am a little baffled, but bafflement and Manny always go hand in hand, but not to this extreme. When he and John Henry got into their war of words two or so weeks ago, he was as good as gone. KAPUT! He wanted out, and he got his wish! The middle of the order will just not be the same anymore but the clubhouse will be much calmer. I think they should not have let him go until the two months of the season were up and then let him become a free agent. Draft picks would have been the result for the Sox. Final thought---DON'T DISS THE OWNER OF THE CLUB!! And DON'T PLAY HOOKEY FOR GAME ONE OF A BIG SERIES WITH THE YANKS. That's exactly what he did, too. He quit on the team in September a couple of years ago, too.Peter Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625257724065648318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36516653.post-46445197721290581022008-08-01T11:54:00.000-04:002008-08-01T11:54:00.000-04:00Frankly, I don't think that Epstein is that much o...Frankly, I don't think that Epstein is that much of a "Boy Wonder. The Bullpen is a shambles and so many resources were wasted on that Slab of Canadian Bacon, Eric Gagne', causing much flatulence in Red Sox Nation. I was one who disagreed over that deal, intensely, as it added to pitching worries:<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, Manny suffers from Mood Swings. Possibly, Epstein is trying to land an ESPN deal(Steve Phillips);<BR/><BR/>B T W, Coop-Red Sox Nation is somewhat a part of Shea Stadium, where one woman told me at Fenway Park, that in '06, She and her daughter went to 3 Mets games, with Fenway being sold out all the time. That situation might change soon, as Manny is gone;<BR/><BR/>The Red Sox do sell 4 packs. To think that when the Mets move into $iti Field, there might not be any packs like this;<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, Manny was being pushed out by Epstein. I do know that Omar "Puppet On A String" Minaya has his moves controlled by Jeffy The Petulant, though Omar was interested in a rental of Manny, but Jeffy cried "No, No, No";<BR/><BR/>The Sox have a great closer in Papelbon,but no real setup relief;<BR/><BR/>Epstein, I believe, is the key factor, here;<BR/><BR/>Even Pelf is entitled to a bad game, looking like the Pelfrey of Last Year. Get that guy an M R I;<BR/><BR/>Tickets are available online for $75 for Seats by the Coca Cola Bottles from The Red Sox Ticket Office, for tonight's Game;<BR/><BR/>It's been busy for we who write about the Red Sox. One question I ask is what piece of scrap is Omar going to pick up on the waiver wire?<BR/><BR/>And Victor Zambrano has signed a Minor League Deal with the Skanks. Can Rick Peterson fix him in 10 Minutes on the Jersey Shore?Michael Leggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07987710950659331609noreply@blogger.com
