Manny is nothing more than money hungry now. He doesn't give a shit if he wins or not.. he wants his paycheck. The Red Sox consistently hone HOME GROWN talent and they teach their kids to succeed. If anything, that is more honorable than just paying a bunch of veterans big paychecks and trying to win something.
So stop spouting about the old days.. it's old.

That's my point.
Yes, I would love to watch Manny tear up the BloSux because I hate the BloSux and even tho Manny left for more money, he still has a place in my heart as a one time Indian.
And I will spout about the old days, one the song parody sounds great to me.... two, I truly long for days when teams were teams and you watched a player stay in one town like George Brett, Johnny Bench, Kirby Puckett, Tony Gwynn, Barry Larkin and so on, all, who could have left for more money, but stayed where they were for their careers.
Players who played for the love of the game and did the best they could co day in and day out.
It's not bitterness, it's growing older and believing the old days were better. Much like those who are from a generation earlier than me believe baseball was better in the 50's and 60's, and their fathers believing it better in the 20's, and 30's.
Much like many today will believe 20 years from now there are no Mannys, no Roy Oswalts, no Jake Peavys, no Derek Jeters, no Jorge Posada's..... and so on.
It's generational. It's not bitterness, it only appears bitter when you are young and don't understand people as they get older, because you have all the answers....
It doesn't mean I hate the sport or the players, I hate what the game has become and what owners and players have done. But deep down it's still the same beautiful game, just different on the outside than when I was in awe of the game.
PS you don't like what I have to say you can ignore me....... that would save you from being sooooo annoyed and upset by my posts and rants over the past.
