Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Mrs. Orel: "You know what headline you should use when Manny signs?"
me: "What?"
Mrs. Orel: "MANNY HAPPY RETURNS!"
me: "Hey, that's pretty good. Do you think anyone else will think of it?"
Earlier: Manny Happy Returns? (SoSG—that's right, we already used it!)

A better headline would be "Manny, Happy, Returns." Hopefully it's true.
What about "Manny: Happy Returns"? That is, when he takes his unused BoSox jerseys to Filene's Basement for some much-needed cash.
The Yahoo! Sports headline article immediately after Manny signed was titled something like "Downhill from here". It was bizarrely negative and basically said Manny had the team by the balls and that the Dodgers were doomed for all eternity. But it was replaced with "Ramirez, Dodgers deserve each other" and "Got their Manny" and so on. I've never been able to find that early article since.
Hahaha!
