Of course you have to deal with his base running and fielding but somehow when he's as hot as he seems to be getting these last two games it almost seems worth it.....enjoy it Scuds you have suffered the extended power outage of a lifetime with these guys this season. No homers for 5 games....53 in a season so far ....Manny will probably lead the team in homers by season end playing 50 games for ya...

I can't wait until he turns around to play the fly ball off the wall and it ends up 12 rows deep in the bleachers

He already seemed to be doing just that tonight if your watching the game. His throwing style looks more like a Jai Lai guy on crack with that submarine toss to second trying to make up with early delivery what his arm loses in velocity.

It's the perfect team for him. He has no competition here. We have only one star-quality player(him.) We haven't had a hitter like him in like forever. His talent will be so appreciated here, and this city will be more tolerant of his shortcomings. We put up with Mondesi, and Shaq's big mouth. It's as good a fit as can be found for him. I'm telling you guys that Latins seem to dig playing here. Lima was difficult everywhere, but did well here. I can't remember why he wasn't signed for another year or two. Could of been he gave somebody very young a sexually transmitted disease. I can't remember. It was something like that, but it all came out during the winter. Was never a problem during the season. Was singing the national anthem etc., but never came back.

LOL "Lima Time"

Last "pure hitter" in LA of his caliber was Gary Sheffield.

I agree with your point in comparing M.Ram to Lima though. LA has always embraced talented people who have indiosyncrasies... Without charisma though, you gradually become classified as "batsh^T crazy" even in this town. Again Sheff is a good example.

In retrospect, who would have thought that Gary Sheffield's Topps "future star" baseball card that had him with his 2 front teeth gold capped and inlaid with a "GS" would have foreshadowed his career.
