Manny's like the little girl with the little curl - when he's good, he's very very good, but when he's bad, he's terrible. And blames everyone but himself.

Good luck for the remaining month that he'll be a Dodger, unless your upper management is willing to shell out some ginormous amount to keep him around longer.

Mc Court has stated that he has $55M to shell out before the 2009 season in salaries he is not renewing. We'll see if he pays Manny $20M or opts for younger players. The local pulse here is that fan pressure will be so high especially if we get to the World Series for the first time in 20 years, that McCourt will be forced to retain Manny.

I'll admit that I haven't been on the Manny watch recently. Did he ever get that haircut? If not, then watch out once a new contract is signed. Things will go beyond the haircut rebellion, and you'll see more of the real "Manny being Manny" issues.

Only about 1 inch off the dreaded locks but he pins the overhang up and tucks it under his helmet. I guess that's the compromise.
