Dear Manny

I was going to post some new photos of our girl Althea aka Peanut the Destroyer but then the Manny news hit. I am moving through the stages of grief - vacillating between extreme sadness and anger right now. Well perhaps that description is a bit strong... I keep thinking about all the greats that the Red Sox have let slip through their hands - Fisk, Clemens, Martinez, Nomar, and now Manny. Is this the real curse? Are the owners simply money-grubbers? Is this the beginning of the sell-off of the team - like they did with the Marlins? I really was fearful when they began lambasting him in the press with the supposed leaks that this was the end of Manny being Manny in Beantown. People I know who love the Sox are believing all the junk coming out of the mouths of Theo and the crew - it makes me sad. I wonder how much season tickets go for at Dodger Stadium...
