Interesting how Manny is lumped into the "everyone else" category.

I figure the Red Sox try to trade him every year anyway, so you can go ahead and try and trade him, too. I'm sure he'll ask for a trade in your season as well.

Rough outing by Wakefield man but you seem to be getting some nice production from Ortiz and Pena in the batters box and Dice-K on the mound.

Great work man.
