Manny was left no choice but to stand up for himself in whatever way he thought he could "win". No one gave a rats-pah-toot about what he wanted...and Boras is paid to represent his client's best interest, not the interest of the Red Sox.

Francone is a figure head, he makes out the lineup. Its obvious he has no power to do a thing about who ultimately gets to play.

The Red Sox made a business decision, and Boras gave his client the best possible option. Going to a team that is vying for a league championship.

I hope its the Dodgers and the Red Sox for the WS and it comes down to 7th game with Jason Bay up to bat with men on base after Ramirez hits a HR to put the Dodgers up one run in the top of the ninth inning... What poetic justice and irony extraordinaire. Hollywood couldn't write a better script. I'll leave it to your imagination as to the outcome.
