I will take that as an invitation to bash the Dodgers for all of 2009. Thanks for the invite and I hope you come prepared. Although you dubs getting Manny for less than the Sox were paying him makes me all warm inside. I cant wait to see him Dog it after the AllStar break. Good luck Wade......

Paper the old Manny was making 20 Mill a year with Boston, The way his contract is structured he is only making 18.5 Mill this year so he went through all the

with the "price of gas up", and down now...this is what i expect outta' manny...up and down..he'll run when he feels like it...he'll hit when he feels like it! be glad ya' only got him for one year..is good as manny is...and he is...just think if he would have hustled!!don't stand there and admire the HR...run...so it's a double ,instead of your idiotic single!! it was maddening many times to watch...ya'll dodger fans will see it...he ain't playin' for the BIG contract no more!! LAZY

This changes everything.
1. Furcal - Will hit .300
2. Hudson - Ditto. If he doesn't get hurt.
3. Ethier - Hitting in front of Manny is fun!
4. Ramirez - 'Nuff said!
5. Loney - Left right left combo in the middle will spell doom for NL pitchers.
6. Blake - I think Torre will bat him in the 6 hole in front of Kemp.
7. Kemp - Will move up in the line-up when he settles at the plate. He will steal lots of bases though.
8. Martin - I put him 8th because he is a better bunter and more discipline than Kemp or Blake. Will move up if Hudson gets injured. Will knock 10+ homers and steal double digit bases.

Loney and Kemp should have over 95 rbi's each. Furcal and Hudson should be among the runs scored leaders as well. But, Torre knows what to do. this is just a suggestion.
