The Sox only "won it all" two seasons Manny played there, so that's a ridiculous argument. To follow your thinking would say they should have blamed him for the rest of the years they didn't win. Why didn't they trade him earlier?
When the trade to LA was worked out there were still more than two months of the season to go. The Red Sox made it to within one game of the WS. You're saying that they knew on August 1 that they weren't going to win??
Many pundits believed the Red Sox killed their chances of winning the WS last year by trading Ramirez. They felt they Sox didn't have enough offense to win, and there's a good chance that was true. But, that's how bad the situation had become, Manny had become such a derisive force in the locker room that as a team they felt they were better off without him.
If by "Red Sox fans have become spoiled Yankee fans lite" you mean, knowledgeable fans of solid organizations dedicated to winning and putting the best quality teams on field, I can agree with that.
Don't get me wrong, the Red Sox knew what they were getting into and not only put up with but also marketed the hell out of a lot of cute stuff with Manny over the years:
His many trips into the Green monster
His high-five with a fan in Baltimore in the middle of a double-play
His cutting off a throw to the infield from Johnny Damon
There is a HUGE difference in the above types of antics and the ones I listed earlier. It's too bad if you can't recognize that....
