Default "Gas is up and so am I."

This is what Manny said as he left Dodger Stadium a couple weeks ago: "I want to see who is the highest bidder. Gas is up and so am I."
Sure doesn't seem like the 1st half effort of 2009 is gunna be as important to him as the 2nd half effort in 2008. How has he played during the 1st year after signing contracts? At least he likes playing in L.A. I would be pretty wary if I was G.M. of a club he has never played for. He's more important during the regular season than in the post. Good as he is(he can't pitch,) soon as Billingsley turned woman, that series was over. We could of had 2 mannies, and it wouldn't make up for one Billingsley turning woman on the mound. If you have pssy pitchers in the post, you're getting beat. Period.

Actually I filled my tank for $2.44/ a gallon today and Manny might not get the money he is thinking he's worth if the early returns are on target....the contracts are judged by the A-Rod insanity and his agent is clearly the antichrist who should be sentenced to working the lunch line in a maximum security prison for the rest of his life for the crap he has infected baseball with in his career.....telling Manny to lay down on the Sox should have taken the guys license to practice with MLB if Selig wasn't gelded at 50 years of age himself!!

I appreciate Manny's candor.

Having said that, a team would have to be insane to give him more than 3 years...and even that is stretching it.

Gas always goes down when there is a Presidential election with a Republican incumbent. Of course, it never has anything to do with the election. There's always some other reason.
