"Manny Happy Returns" Returns

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?"


Yahoo! Sports


ESPN.com


Dodgers.com


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.
