Mr. McCourt is right on that one. Let the other teams step up with offers better than $45M and sweep Manny off his feet. Until someone else offers, the Dodgers truly are bidding against themselves. That just doesn’t make any sense. Manny doesn’t really want to be a Dodger, Red Sox, Giant or anything else. He wants to be Manny in a league all by himself. Well, go for it Manny. Take Kevin Kennedy’s suggestion and sign a long term contract in Japan.

It is just a zoo now. I wouldn’t say another word about Manny in the Dodger front office. Let’s move on. Contrary to popular belief (at least in his own mind) Manny is not the axis the baseball world turns on. The fans are and he is totally disrespectful to them. Manny is the Manny we knew as a Red Sox.

Let’s get the season going. Without him, and Schmidt off the payroll next year, we will have bucks for that pitcher and big bat we need. Would I love to have them now? Sure. But it is time to move on without Manny. Let him take those other offers.

GO DODGERS!!

While we don’t know what has beens said behind closed doors, I think we all know Manny and Borass want at least 3 years. They asked for 4 we offered 2, looks to me that we have arrived at 3. I think that is what several of us have been saying for weeks now.

If we are going to be stubborn about it and refuse that third year, if that is the position we insist on taking, then make the announcement to all Dodger fans so we know what our team is, and those who are thinking about buying season tickets can put their checkbooks away.

That bet on 3.5 million is only if Manny is on the team mover.

Pierre is a good player. I’ll bet he will be thrilled to be the starting left fielder. Lambo should be ready to go in 2 years or so. We will have the money to get that big time starter we are going to need at the deadline. Arizona could go flat again. Things could be worse.

The term narcissism means love of oneself, and refers to the set of character traits concerned with self-admiration, self-centeredness and self-regard. The name was chosen by Sigmund Freud, from the Greek myth of Narcissus, who was doomed to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

Not a trait for players in the new Dodger era

Lets move on

So there is the kick in the crotch!

Like I said before, We all love Manny ,Manny doesn’t love you!
He doesn’t want to be a Dodger. He may feel disrespected because other teams don’t want him but he made this bed! Manny quit on his team and forced a trade. Until he proves he won’t do the same thing he wont see long term offers.

Heck bitch all you want about our ownership, but who has come close to the money or the terms of the deals we have offered him? So if we have a “Bad owner” then there are 29 worse owners out there.

Manny I love you , but I don’t like you very much right now!!
