I'm a Boston Red Sox fan And I still love Manny, yeah the split wasn't the best and all but he was a big part of us getting 2 rings and ending the curse so I have absolutely no hard feelings towards him because of that.

My hard feelings come from knowing that he was still a very good player who laid down, quitting on his team and then pulled antics to force the trade all while whining to anyone with a microphone about how bad he was being treated. Yeah, sure, Manny. He went from being one of my favorite Red Sox players to pretty much the most despised...even more than Damon, Clemens or Boggs.

As far as helping to win the 2 championships, yep, he sure did and I was a cheerleader for him the whole time right up until he turned his back on the team. No amount of rings offsets that...at least not to me.

I'm not going to apologize for feeling that way even though I know there are plenty of people on this board who would take Satan himself on their team as long as he hit home runs or scored touchdowns.

Sorry, he didn't go to the Yankees...even though I have no doubt he would have. That puts him above the three evil doers in my book....especially Damon. For some reason that really really pissed me off.

I loved to watch him play and as long as the good outweighed the bad I was his biggest cheerleader. Now it's just history, we are better off without him, and life goes on.

Oh, we're def better off without him, no doubt....he never would have stopped the childish bullshit. Just grates on my nerves that he was still a very very good player that we desperately needed but he refused to put out any effort for his teammates. Team comes first in my book and he totally turned his back on them. That puts him on my scumbag list for good.

I see where your coming from, but like I said for me, him helping us win those two rings goes a long way with me, so my attitude was more of, thanks for the memories Manny, and sorry things didn't work out better.

I guess you could say it's like a divorce some are pleasant and some are extremely bitter, and you could say that for me with Manny it was a pleasant one.

      Their use of the phrase questionable QB situation fits perfectly. He is stuck, for the moment at least, in a situation with Bryce that he can't really get out of. There have been improvements for Young, but he hasn't been a world changer. He had horrible coaching first year and was saddled with a broken down remnant of what had been an afterthought team anyway. There's one year left to keep him on the cheap with the idea that if he cranks out a great season, we've got first dibs on him for the next. If he tanks out, then off to free agency Young goes to either a QB whisperer-type situation or becomes a fairly battle tested back up QB. And we get something to add into our compensatory picks formulation. This is a make or break year for Young, but not for Morgan or Canales.

      If they lose the ECF in wimpy fashion, like anything less than a Game 7, its time to can Rod.

      Do you people really give no credence to the fact that Carolina’s went almost two weeks between games while Montreal played an intense seven game series that just ended Monday? That break was too much to be ready to go, and it showed.   The Canes pressed in the first, likely from overzealousness to prove the layoff wasn’t too much. once the Canes settled into their game without pressing, the game was much tighter. Every year, posts in the Panthers forum question how little the starters play in the preseason? Why is that? Because we all know not going at game speed against an opponent can lead to a slow start when the games turn real. Even with prior ECF disappointments, I’m going to hope last night was more akin to starters not playing in the preseason.
