I have to say, it freakin kills me that he is getting away with this and Scott fucking Boras will profit from this. It was Manny and his old agent who begged for these two club options just so that they could brag that he got a $200 million dollar contract, and not id the team picks them up he will probably take his toys and go home. I hope he gets blackballed like Bonds, but he will probably go to the NL and hit 40 home runs because the pitching sucks. //end of rant

eh.. I dunno. I wouldn't want it to go that far. There's just no way to replace Manny. Seriously, I don't know of anyone they can just trade for and get the same production out of. Think about it, everytime Manny gets pissed at the front office, what happens? He blows his numbers up. It's almost like a little game that Boston plays with him. He's just too good to lose right now. I'd even go so far as saying they should pick up his option for next year.
