I never did figure out why they traded Manny in the first place. Couldn't they have gone to whoever was unhappy with him and say "He's our star... just deal?" I suppose wasn't all that simple.
They still have a good shot at the wild card spot, though. Unlike, y'know, the Tigers.
I don't know what happened, but you'd think they'd sacrifice a little, y'know?
The real reason is probably the same reason they traded Pedro and Nomar and Trot Nixon and all my other favourite players all the way back to Carlton Fisk. They like toying with my emotions.
