Manny Being Manny...In LA?!


Wow, huge trade, huge!

I mean, I know that I had kind of started going the other way on Manny Ramirez's whole "Manny being Manny" act after he shoved the Boston Red Sox's traveling secretary.

But now that he is a LA Dodger, I might start going back the other way again.

I mean, was he really that much of a hassle that the Red Sox felt compelled to move him? Obviously, this was a cost-saving move on the Red Sox's part. I know Theo Epstein is a Billy Beane disciple, but when did the Red Sox become a Moneyball team? Is Manny worth $20 million a season? We'll find out when he's not around to protect David "Big Papi" Ortiz.

Oh yeah, Ken Griffey Jr. got traded too...
