Manny Ramirez


So, the Dodgers picked up Manny today. I don't really like Manny very much, but he is a great player and we got him for cheaper than the Lakers got Pau Gasol.
I am not going to allow myself to get too excited though. Lets take look at the last couple guys the Dodgers have picked up that I got excited about: Andrew Jones (I have never liked him, but I let myself get excited) who is hitting a whopping 167 with 2 homeruns and 13 RBI, Jason Schmidt (I think the Giants planted him as sabotage), who has started maybe 2 games in his 2 years he's been with us. Nomar Garcia Para who has played very well but been hurt 80% of the time, and the list goes on. Manny is a great player and should give the power that the Dodgers really need. But I don't like him and I have become accustomed to disapointment.

I agree with you AND k mich.

I hate seeing Manny leave the Sox. He is ridiculous, though! "The Red Sox don't deserve me."

Pshh.

Kristin: I know it is stupid but I will do it till the day I die, I will always refer to the Dodgers as we or us.

Barret: I think Manny is pretty much an idiot, but he can swing a bat. Also anything that will hurt the sox chances I am all for, unless it involves the Yankees or the Giants, I would take the Sox over the yanks and Giants any day.
