As I proud member of Red Sox nation I still sport my Man Ram jersey and at times found his antics to be funny. By far my favorite is the time in which Johnny Damon chased down a ball hit to the center field wall in Fenway. Damon comes up throwing to his cut off man...err Manny. Yep, Manny playing left fields comes over and cuts off the throw. I would love to post a clip but it seems as if MLB has pulled all clips from the net due to copyright infringement. I think that I smell the commish and Fehr. Ohh look there they are
But I digress, Manny has sorta landed in LA and word is that he just turned down the Dodgers latest offer.
I understand Manny being Manny and Borus being Borus, but what universe do they reside in? They turned down a 2 year, $45 million contract?!?! How nuts can one be? Boys and girls let's take a look at this. Manny stormed the Dodger Stadium castle after burning down the Fenway park bridge. Manny is a free agent, spring training is underway and only one team is offering you a contract. Cutting off the throw from Damon or whizzing in the Green Monster make you look like Bill Nye compared to turning down the Dodgers offer. Where are the Yanks? How satisfying would it be for Hank and Daddy George and the Evil Empire to win a World Series with the help of a former Red Sox Jedi? Where are the Giants, the arch rival of the Dodgers? You mean they don't want to steal Manny from the Dodger stable and watch him shred the Dodgers next season. Or what about the KC Royals who can't even win an inner squad game? Wouldn't they love to have the Manny sideshow in town to put some rear ends in the seat? And there are no other teams sniffing around the Manny Being Manny wagon.
I know that the Dodgers will end up signing Manny in time for Manny to be in the line up on opening day. But, I would LOVE to see the Dodgers to sit on their wallets and Manny be forced to sell more items on e-bay. I heard his grill brought in some good money. Wonder what an autographed Manny hot tub would fetch? And if all else fails I am sure that the Tiawana Tigers could use a left fielders/DH. And who knows, I might be willing to fork over $20 a week for Manny to mow my yard.
