In what had to be one of the most unlikely scenarios in Dodger history. The bums actually came through looking like the hustler in a trade! There was no Delino, Wilton, or Jeff Shaw. No, it didn't take Andre Ethier or Matt Kemp to get him ether. This was simply a very desperate team in the Boston Red Sox giving up their superstar future hall of fame player to a team that desperately needed a power hitter.
"It's unbelievable," catcher Russell Martin said. "We feel like we just won the lottery."
Manny has already gone 8-13 with 2 HR and 5 RBI. That almost equals Andruw Jones' total of HR and RBI for the SEASON, but let us not speak of the bench warmer ever again.
Yuck Don't Let Your Great Hitting Rub Off On Me!Besides the Dodgers going 2-1 with Manny on the first place D-Bags over the weekend, Ramirez' biggest impact might be on the box office. Friday's game immediately sold out, and let me tell you, I hopped onto that price-gouging rip-off known as Ticketmaster and got my tickets quick! I knew that Manny's first appearance as a Dodger was something to behold...and the free Dodger cooler bag didn't hurt! Too bad the parking hurts more than watching A. Jones strike out...
$125,000 worth of number 99 shirts and jerseys were sold over the weekend, and can you imagine how much the Dodgers will make if they sign this guy long-term? I hope that this guy isn't a two-month rental, since the Dodgers do like to sign the worst free agents possible. They will probably let him go, but if they do keep him, you'll see me sporting the new Manny blue dreadlocks that will be on sale after the road trip!
The Stadium went berserk when Manny came up to the plate on Friday. I have never witnessed a batter receive that kind of ovation at Dodger Stadium. The deafening chant of Man-ny, Man-ny, echoed throughout the Ravine. All weekend he could do no wrong. Even as he grounded out, the fans would stand and cheer for their savior has arrived. With help from the young guns and the grizzled vets, the Dodgers will win the West.
Los Angeles, welcome to the brand-new season premiere of "Manny-MANIA in LA LA Land!"

I'm so happy for the Dodgers, they deserve to win & have a good player like Manny. I went to the Saturday game & I never seen the stadium as full & the fans were so into the game. Can't wait to go to more games. So welcome Manny, WE LOVE U, LOL......
Well well well, Manny "Im a bad man" Rameriz is a Dodger, I couldn't be more excited. So far he is doing awesome, bringing some life to a great team that isn't playing so great. Great coverage on the topic Jonathon, oh by the way ANDRUW JONES HIT A HOME RUN!! but time will tell if we get the W. Go BLUE!!
