I would have ignored him like they did in the past, Manny being Manny. Winning and going to the playoffs make everyone forget all the bullshit.
I hate to say this but I am going to miss seeing him playing in Boston......but then only a little.

Wow, that Dodger outfield will sure be interesting now....a wacky fielder in Manny and a lazy player in Andrew Jones.
Is this true?
No wonder Boggs and Clemens prefered being Yankees.
You know I could have fun with this.

It's a shame it came to this. Boston would not have won the 04 and 07 World Series without Manny, and Manny certainly gave us lots of great moments.
Good luck, Manny. Thanks for everything.
Want to guess how many RBI's Manny had in the 2004 ALCS vs the Yankees?
Answer: 0
Manny played an important part, yes, but to say they wouldn't have won without him is absurd.
The Sox won the championship mainly because of pitching and Big Papi. Ortiz basically won the 2004 ALCS with his clutch hitting.
Like someone said, he had to go despite only getting Jason Bay. He is a cancer in the clubhouse and wasn't going to play hard until they traded him or picked up his option for next year right away.
and he had 45 HR and 144 RBI in the regular season. Without him they don't even make the playoffs.
I'm pretty sure he helped getting them there in the first place.
He provided protection for Papi, a lot of pitchers pitched around Manny.
He was important.
Despite? That kid is not a bum. Look at his statshttp://www.baseball-reference.com/b/bayja01.shtml , considering he played with the Pirates the numbers are pretty good.
but it was always "Manny just being Manny''
It seemed like a quarter of those were off the Yankees.
I'm still going to miss him.
Who wouldn't, as much of a pain in the ass he is I would love to have him as a Yankee.
I said that because the Sox gave up not just Manny, but Hansen and Moss as well. That is A LOT for just one guy who is 29 years old. I would have liked the sox to get a few prospects as well.
True, plus you add the fact they also gave away money.
I guess that's the way a three team deal works....by not making sense.

Manny batting cleanup forced teams to pitch to Papi. Without Manny behind him, who knows if the Yankees would've pitched to Papi allowing his heroics?
I'm gonna miss that one-two punch.

Up in Bronx, locals won't miss Manny Ramirez too much

Rogash/Getty Manny Ramirez's departure from Boston is a pleasurable sight for Yankees, fans.
The Yankees aren't shedding any tears over Manny Ramirez's departure from the American League. The notorious Yankee-killer won't be missed in these parts.
"He's given us a lot of trouble over the years as a team, so maybe a lot of people will like to see him gone," Andy Pettitte said.
"He's a great hitter, so I'm glad we don't have to face him anymore," Derek Jeter said.
Joe Girardi simply waved his hand and said "he can go to the other league. That's all right."
Most Yankees were surprised the Red Sox would let their superstar go by trading Ramirez to the Los Angeles Dodgers Thursday, but one Yankee in particular thinks anyone could've seen this coming.
"Nothing surprises me about Boston," said Johnny Damon, who left the Sox after the 2005 season when their contract offer to him was $12 million less than the Yankees'. "Not too many players leave there happy. It's been very well documented over the years, I think back to Mike Greenwell and (Roger) Clemens, Mo Vaughn and Nomar (Garciaparra). It goes on and on.
"When they're ready to get rid of a player, they do it."
Ramirez and David Ortiz formed the linchpin of Boston's lineup for years and have caused the Yankees more than their share of headaches. Damon called them "the best 3-4 guys in the league since 2003." It's a good bet the Yankee pitching staff will be happy not to have to deal with that anymore.
"When you've got a good lineup and you get two guys of that ability, it makes them tough. It makes them who they've been," Mike Mussina said. "You're not going to find too many teams that can put two guys like that in the lineup back-to-back. ... When those guys are both in the lineup and healthy, that team has been successful.
"I mean, I know Manny beats us up bad and I know Manny's a great player," Mussina said. "It sure changes their lineup, but they've got a good lineup. ... (Jason) Bay's a pretty good player too. I'm not sure there's a big drop-off there."
In 200 career games against the Yankees, Ramirez has batted .321 with 55 home runs and 163 RBI.
Even from a distance, the Yankees have paid attention to the growing acrimony between Ramirez and the Red Sox.
"They felt like they had to take care of a problem," Damon said. "It started getting to be too much. They've never been afraid to trade guys or let guys go when they felt it was a way to better their team."
"The way it was going the last couple days it seemed like he wanted to get traded," Mussina said. "The last couple days it seemed a lot more serious than it had in the past. ... And as it turned out they were serious about it."
