Manny Ramirez is a superstar in LA these days. Manny came to LA after a long stuggle with the Red Sox. Manny then has an amazing second half and in 53 regular season games he cranks 17 homeruns and 53...league. Manny has other options as well but these seem to be the most likely and strategic to get the money he wants and at least 1 or 2 more championships before his career ends in about 4 or 5 years

I read a blog post by Joe Sheehan on Baseball Prospectus about Manny Ramirez. I tend to agree with Joe more often than not, and this time he's really spot on. The point of his article is that many people...I'd be ecstatic and the Cardinals would be in the playoffs. Those numbers are similar to Manny's career averages and only lower than his numbers in LA because he has hit at an otherworldly level here

Great news! There have been 2 new entries into the Manny contest! Judge for yourselves... Awww....They're so cute!! They might even give the rest of us a run for our money. Well, not... In other, sadder, news, our old friend Stevie Arrellanes passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday at his home in Wyoming. Megan's blog  has some lovely pictures of Stevie and friends.

I was going to tell all of you all about the day we had on Monday, when we all went to Grandma's gravesite and then to lunch, which also happened to fall on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, but I...no puedo hablar espanol; solo aprendi unas frases de una pagina web. This means "I don't really speak spanish, I just learned some phrases from a website." Honesty really is the best policy

During the Toss Up segment of yesterday's Pardon the Interruption , Tony and Mike where asked, "Better NL MVP candidate: Manny Ramirez, or CC Sabathia?" After arguing how important both players are...batting .396, 14 home runs, 40 RBI, in only 38 games for the Dodgers; CC's Brewers are 12-1 in his starts, he has a 1.59 ERA, 102 strikeouts in 102 innings), Tony pushes , but Michael picks Sabathia

Yesterday on Around the Horn , Bill Plaschke said he agreed with Woody Paige that Manny Ramirez should be the NL MVP. Woody made his statement on the day before.

If you haven't head from me in a while, it is because I have been far too busy doing important and exciting things. Fret not, dear readers, for I have a giving nature; and here, in my blog/ adventure...dancing, and giraffes. Your Spanish Phrase of the Day is: Puedes hablar mas despacio, por favor! That means, Can you please speak more slowly? I think this is a useful phrase to know.

moved over from wrennette I started work on this set of Red Sox themed wallpapers after Manny hit his 500th long bomb. There are two similar but in my mind separate themed sets that resulted... but not entirely. They are The odd ones out are these of 'Tek, which doesn't really fit in either category, but I had to make because the man is pure awesome. They are Enjoy

pulled over from wrennette the only thing not to like about these (imho) is that I'm too cheap to spring for a paid account, so I can't use them all myself. *sigh* [001-011] - J.D.
