Default Manny In Blue
http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/ne...t=.jsp&c_id=la


I think the opt out thing (after a year) will hopefully keep him hungry. Honestly, I don't know why things would change that much, but we will see. I thought he was worth a 4 year deal at 20-25 mil guaranteed(but no takers.) I guess people figured that he quit on Boston(and they didn't get equal value in the trade to L.A.) So, only L.A. is willing to chance it. If he has another good year, are they gunna chance it ? What will have changed?

All the sports talk dorks are spewing their Manny being Manny B.S.

I hope he hits 80 homers and bats .350+ and shuts them up.

That would be great for the Dodgers, and Scuds would be purring like a cat!

I'm thrilled. He has enough friends (Kemp, Furcal etc.) on the team to (hopefully) keep him from quiting on us. Don't think we are gunna get to the World Series with the same 2 chokers taking up important spots on the pitching staff. You just can't expect different results when you try to use the same 2 women to try to get men out in the post.

They will struggle in the post if they try to use Billingsley/Broxton to do jobs men should be trying to do. They can only be used if the Blue is considered a longshot to win a series. Otherwise, they will lay down. Hope(alone) is an immature emotion.
