Noooo! He flew away on a flock of pterodactyls! They say that if you love a bird, let it fly away, and it will come back to you. But what happens if the bird wants a few million before it promises to come home?

MLB.com, SI.com and FoxSports.com are reporting that Manny has been traded to the Dodgers.

It'd be real interesting to see the Sox go on like a six-game tear right now and carefully observe the backpedaling patterns of Red Sox Nation. I know a few Antimannyites who won't budge, but a couple timely home runs and there will be a lot of people who conveniently forget that they were carrying pitchforks and torches all last week.

Let's keep in mind this was only the "non-waivers" trade deadline...

with half an hour left, i'll reiterate my doubt. ESPN now says the Bay-Rays trade might be back on.

Let it be time-stamped -- I still think a deal will get done today. ~r
