I Told You So

Manny Ramirez proved himself to be a self-centered overpaid athlete once again by quitting on the Dodgers. Does that sound familiar Red Sox Fans? As a Dodger fan I am happy to see him go. When the Dodgers picked him up in '08 I predicted this very scenario.

Darelle Revis has reportedly signed with the Jets and is supposed to arrive in New Jersey today. It is hopeful he can come back to the team and fit in as a team player. He certainly does not come across as a team player. $10,000,000 is not enough for him? Oh, Asomugha makes more! Check the ego at the door. You had a signed contract. Honor it. When it is up then you negotiate. If you're half as good as you seem to think you are, you will be rewarded. I was hoping the Jets would let him sit out the year. You don't want to be a part of the team stay home.

MLB STANDINGS

Just an interesting little widget (at the bottom of the page) to keep anyone who might show up on my site informed and up-to-date on the MLB Standings. I wonder if I would have posted this if the LA Dodgers hadn't made such a miraculous comeback in the last three to four weeks? My first instincts about Manny Ramirez were wrong. I truly did not want him to be with the Dodgers. He has awakened the team from their funk and blasted them right to the top. That doesn't mean that he won't revert to his old Boston ways if things don't always go his way in the future. That is assuming the Dodgers sign him in the offseason. Wouldn't it be interesting to see the Dodgers v. Red Sox in the World Series? If the Dodgers get in the playoffs won't that be sweet for Joe Torre? The Yankees did not want him and they are toast this year. The Yankees chose the wrong Joe. Don Mattingly and Joe Torre in the playoffs while the Steinbrenners stew in their silent offices. How great is that? Go Dodgers!
