Gentlemen....this is a bat
I have a feeling that these words have been uttered in the Dodger club house many times lately. What I think is funny right now is the joy in the Dodger Stadium crowd that someone with a Dodger uniform on can actually hit. It is as if the Dodger fans have no idea what to do with a Dodger who can hit.
I am no Manny Ramirez fan, but he is not Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens. He is a flake, and I am sure he will cause trouble at some point. But just once, it would be nice to see the Dodgers again be a threat again rather than an after thought. They used to be a powerhouse. They have won more NL pennants than any other team. With Manny on board, who knows, maybe that could happen again.
