How about No, OK?

SPORTING GOODS

Once again, the good Boston writers are again hoping that their favorite whipping boy Manny Ramirez will be traded.

I agree with Surviving Grady:
I understand that you want me to get all hot and bothered over the fact that, to paraphrase your words, Manny doesn't like Boston, Manny doesn't like us fans, Manny hates all of his teammates and regularly spikes their thermoses with Fiber-Con, and Manny is coming over to my place later tonight to kick me in the jimmy.

But the fact is, you ain't gonna change my mind, no matter how hard you try. Because I believe that if Manny leaves, this team becomes a little less lovable, a lot less entertaining, and I'm not even gonna get into replacing that consistent production at the plate. So please -- channel your energies elsewhere.

I am of two minds on this: First, I can't imagine the Red Sox fielding a team without him and do hope he retires a in a Red Sox jersey; the second always has me thinking back to walking out of work in a rage because I had just read that Nomar had been traded to the cubs, and look at how that August, September, and October turned out.

But in the end, I named my cat after him and just hope he doesn’t end up a Yankee. I couldn’t have a pet named after a Yankee.
