After 7 1/2 seasons in a Red Sox uniform in which he won two World Series rings and became a local icon, one would think Manny Ramirez would get over his bad feelings towards the Red Sox. Maybe he will eventually, but that doesn't seem to be coming any time soon. In fact, in an interview with the LA Times' T.J. Simers this weekend, he says that he never liked playing in Boston.
"Every day I thank God I came here and had the chance to show people who I really am," he says. "The guy you see here -- that's who I am."

"The first time I stepped foot in Boston, I said to myself, 'Whoa.' I told Pedro Martinez, 'Damn, man, I just want to get traded and get out of here; this place is not me.' I was unhappy for eight years in Boston but still put up great numbers."

A Beckett fastball off the ribs might be in order when they meet in the World Series. Manny is a moron, but when he was doing everything he did he was just being "Manny." How's that sound now to Boston fans?
