When Is Enough Enough??





It's been a while, but it'll be worth it trust me...word just came in that Manny Ramirez has just rejected the latest offer from the Dodgers..2 years, 45 million dollars. Would have paid him 25 mil this year, 20 the next..and it was a player option for 2010, which means Manny could have opted out of the deal and went for more money next year! I know Ramirez is a bit off his rocker, but this is a bit much...his agent is what all baseball GM's fear, Scott Boras, he of Alex Rodriguez fame..the same agent that got A-Rod his first 10 year, 252 million dollar deal. Boras believes that in this economic climate he can get a better offer for ManRam...it ain't happening...and I'm glad to see that Boras and Ramirez now share the same weird galaxy...cause it's nowhere near this Earth. Manny is a fantastic ballplayer, he put up great numbers with the Dodgers, singlehandly got them to the postseason and 3 wins shy of the World Series. But Manny needs the Dodgers more than the Dodgers need Manny. They'll go on this spring with whatever combination of players in left field and Manny will sit and wait. The crazy thing is this...there are no other teams bidding for him!! I know Scott Boras is a faithful reader of this blog, so I hate to break the bad news to him, but there's no else calling.Yankees..nope...Mets..nope...Giants...nope(they got outbid by the Twins for Joe Crede for pete's sake!) Can we please have someone in baseball stand up and have some sense? Please! It's good to be back!!

pretty much convinced Manny is trying to pay it forward and save the California Dodgers?
