Red Sock cannot believe the yahoos holding up WEEI-published signs reading "Manny Who?" at yesterday's game:

... Shame on everyone who not only took one of the signs, but was enough of an idiot to actually hold it up during the game. As I have said before (after Keith Foulke was booed in 2005, if I recall), I would love to have the power to erase the memories of these "fans" of everything Red Sox-related after Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS, because they do not deserve to remember and forever savour what came afterwards.

Meanwhile, Beth tries to sum up all those years with Manny:

... It was while watching Papelbon that it suddenly felt to me like I was getting acquainted with this team all over again. I might not be glad Manny's bat is gone, but I was, at that point, very glad that the Subject of Manny was gone. The team looked like it had collectively exhaled for the first time in a week. ...

Kristen longs for another trade:

... Now, what can we do about trading Ken Macha to Kansas City? Look, I'm sure Macha's a nice guy, but he is Ambien in a suit. ...
