My reaction at the time was, "Ugh." The last thing I thought they needed was another malcontent with spotty production.<br /><br />2 months later, I couldn't have been happier to be wrong. I loved what he brought to the team, and I loved they way he made the BoTox look foolish. I even supported the notion of resigning him the next year.<br /><br />The 20/20 vision of hindsight brings regret based on the 50 game suspension and an injury plagued 2010. But for 4 glorious months spread out over 2 seasons, Manny made Los Angeles a Dodger town once again.<br /><br />Fare thee well Manuel.rbnlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192692349456006520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-21983668350516283882010-08-30T11:16:23.643-07:002010-08-30T11:16:23.643-07:00Arriba de Soxos Blancos!Arriba de Soxos Blancos!rbnlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192692349456006520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-68101030310269299032010-08-30T11:14:43.052-07:002010-08-30T11:14:43.052-07:00Be honest: Who was going to watch that game anyway...Be honest: Who was going to watch that game anyway, before the Manny acquisition?<br /><br />*raises hand sheepishly*Kyle Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074411479856389109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-28937981966512513062010-08-30T11:14:01.921-07:002010-08-30T11:14:01.921-07:00@Dusty

I am better now but recently I've been doing a lot of end-of-summer traveling with Mrs Fred's Brim (she's a teacher who heads back to the monsters in a week), so it hasn't been as easy to devote multiple hours to watch games and hang out in game threads.Fred's Brimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06689859663838105360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-72405748107502435912010-08-30T08:23:54.642-07:002010-08-30T08:23:54.642-07:00He IS a knucklehead, but he was OUR knucklehead. ...He IS a knucklehead, but he was OUR knucklehead.
