With Manny gone, maybe now the Red Sox can focus on baseball. While it’s sad to see a player go who’s been such a crucial part of two World Series and who hit his 500th home run with the Sox, his off-the-field antics—”Manny being Manny”—have gotten out of control. Assaulting the traveleing secretary over tickets pushed things over the line for me, and I’m happy to see him go. And from his comments to ESPN Deportes, I’m sure he is too.
