Kev returns the volley:
Liked the post, and I don't mind representing the irrational side when it comes to Manny.Strange, I don't recall a post last fall demanding a return of the 2007 WS trophy due to the Tampa episode. ... I wonder how the anti-Mannyites would be reacting these days if the Sox were comfortably in first place. ... Adrian pretty much sums up my views. ... Rob reports Manny might have tendinitis. But the saga still comes down to money, he notes. ...
One nit, it's not "fantasy retroactive punishment." I was calling for the team to dump his sorry ass three years ago today, over an incident in Tampa that is much like what we are seeing again now. According to the NY Times account, "He was so tired he declined to play Wednesday afternoon against Tampa Bay despite a shortage of players because of injuries." Sound familiar?
