About Manny
I was kind of overwhelmed at how many people flittered to my lj when they heard about the trade. At that point, I didn't know about it (just had a really great feeling that it was going to happen). That being said, I do have some thoughts.
This, for some reason, is reminding me of the Nomar trade; testy behavior lead up to that one (basically Nomar was getting a big head, with no reason, and got shipped to the ETA: because Kay reminded me, the Cubs first and THEN Dodgers as well) too and that's obviously a big reason for this one. Manny has been a pretty big jackass in the last month or so. I've said this before.
In a way, I'm excited about the trade (mostly because of the puns that the Globe and Herald will be using-are using? I haven't seen the papers today-Bay in the Bay State :::cue belly laugh:::). It really was probably time, I mean it was getting to be a bit of a drama with him on the team. Too much spectacle, not enough baseball. And yeah dude, you were pretty much an ass.
But of course I'm sad. I'll miss him hitting behind Papi (seriously, that will leave a hole in my life for awhile), miss his amazing skills both offensively and defensively, but... all things must come to an end. And while I did love the guy, if you're underperforming you gotta go; it's just that simple. (Especially with the way the fucking Rays are playing right now, what the hell!?)
And you all know what this means... I need a new header... a new layout even. :( I love this layout! I don't wanna change! :::weeps::: Does anyone have any suggestions? Srsly here...
Assassins last night was pure brilliance; Liz was funny as HELL as Sara Jane Moore. And now I have a crush on John Wilkes Booth (WTF!?!? I think it was his timepiece that did it...)
Oh and my ficathon fic is up, huzzah!
