More Dispatches From Red Sox Nation of Idiots

Maybe I'm just over analyzing things but have you ever noticed how none of the partings between high profile Sox players and management are ever amicable? Since Theo and the Trio took over, the team has parted ways with Nomar, Derek Lowe, Johnny Damon, Pedro Martinez and will, in all likelihood, part ways with Manny later this week. None of those "relationships" ended well. We'd start to hear the whispers about problems in the clubhouse or declining skills or too greedy or too selfish or mentally unstable. By the time Derek Lowe was gone, you'd have thought the guy needed an elephant-sized dose of Lithium just to get out of bed in the morning. Of course, it's all media driven because it fits in with their belief that gossip and controversy, not box scores and analysis, is what sells papers. They've become a collection of Perez Hiltons, only uglier and with less credibility. But someone's feeding them this bullshit and when it keeps happening every time a player leaves, there's no place else to look but up.

Whatever it is, it seems to be working with Manny. The backlash is growing and by the time Manny leaves town, Craig Grebeck will have been a better player.





She has a point. Manny's not going to be the same without Jason Varitek hitting behind him. It's a shame, really.





I'd like to live in this guy's world where women only get their periods once a year. Fucktard.





I think we've found Gerry Callahan's alt.





Yeah Manny! Good ridens!





Good riddens! Getting closer...





Yeah, I didn't know who Wes Agee is either and after looking at his MySpace I wish it would have stayed that way.





Sigh.





Must resist bus joke.





You're absolutely right. This is rediculous. Good ridens.

The most knowledgeable fans in baseball strike again!

I can't wait until August 31st when the fans at Fenway will greet Manny with "a great standing applause". Not sure why they'll wait until then, personally I'd go with August 1st since the trade deadline is July 31st.
