Over the last month movie-goers have seen Harvey Dent’s transformation from a morally obligated district attorney to freakish villain. Over that same month fans in Boston have seen there once favorite son turn into public enemy numero uno. Eleven days after Manny’s departure to the west coast, sports fans have heard Manny say 15 different things about his future.
Manny’s transformation didn’t go to shit over night, far from it. Up until Saturday, there were some Red Sox fans that still had Manny’s back regardless of his painful break-up with the Sox. Two days after being traded to the Dodgers, Manny apparently felt so comfortable in Dodger Blue that he already decided that he wanted to finish his career in Los Angeles.
Just over a week after claiming he wanted to end his career as a Dodger, Manny has already begun talks about jumping ship, I know what you’re thinking Manny abandon his team, shocking. So why should Red Sox Nation care about Manny’s imminent departure from LA, because he wants to join the Yankees (Let me go on to say that this will forever put Manny in the Roger Clemens no man’s land; this means that Red Sox fans will forever despise him and Yankees will treat him like an adopted son whose real father used to beat the shit out of them in elementary school).
A close friend of Manny told the New York Post that, “He wants to play for the Yankees so he can get at the Red Sox.” My only response to this is what a piece of shit. Get back at the Red Sox for what, dealing with your shit or having the city of Boston treat you like a king for seven and a half years. Manny should have just joined the taliban or killed off a few endangered species, I think that would have hurt Red Sox Nation less.
Well on that note, congratulations Manny in a span of two months you were able to go from fan favorite to person most likely to get pushed infront of a Duck Tour Boat. As Red Sox fans, all we can do now is count the days until Manny’s next at-bat in front of the Fenway Faithful, basically so that we can verbally torture him. Until then Manny, on behalf of all of Red Sox Nation, we hope you get dysentery from Mexican drinking water.
