07:50 AM ET 08.04 | Finishing his Dodgers career in "silence and pain," Manny Ramirez's comfortable corner of Chavez Ravine is history. Mannywood is now Deadwood, the Dodgers ill-conceived tribute to Ramirez serving as a metaphor for the man himself. The two previously rollicking sections in the left-field corner at Dodger Stadium now have the hollow look of a party gone bad. "Manny had us going for a while," said Oscar Chavez, 28, celebrating his birthday there Tuesday night with eight easily obtained tickets for his family. "But now he's done." And the Dodgers, it seems, are finally done with him, having torn down the Mannywood signs during the last trip, replacing them with billboards advertising an insurance company and the Dodgers' flagship radio station.

How will he get his tendrils done.

Manny cheated and hit homers. Manny stopped cheating and stunk. Athletes caught cheating with PEDs should be banned for life and all their records removed.

And this is a surprise? Not to the fans of the Red Sox. Everyone saw this train wreck coming. I guess Mannywood is being foreclosed on. b'bye!!! All those fans with the goofy Manny dreadlocks look rather stupid now!!!

Boras is going to have a hard time finding a sucker for this guy next year. Someone will bite, but it'll probably be a team like the Marlins.

Hahahaha manny, your days are over

I never liked Manny myself. Has anyone checked to see if his passport is current and his other creditials are legit. Stay away from Arizona dude.

Boy was Boston lucky to lose this loser.

August 4, 2010  09:12 AM ET

It was inevitable I suppose...

best case scenario for him is that he's traded, helps a team make a playoff run, and parlays that into a dh gig next season.

will anyone really miss Manny? he was a beast, when on 'roids..he got caught, and the power went away....shocking!
i was working at the single A stadium, Dodgers A ball team, last year and this year, when Manny was there "rehabbing." i saw him in 12 at bats there..10 of them, he stood there, never even offering at a pitch till he was K'd looking...the other 2, weak grounders..he cheated the A ball fans who flocked out there to see him.....
