post-steroids manny: not as good?

[BitterDodgerFan]

so is the new clean manny going to be like the clean bret boone?

he hasn't scored a run or driven in a run since july 22nd. hmmmm

#1. Manny isn't clean right now. Let's not be ridiculous.

#2. He'll be fine. He's just in a slump.

I heard FOX just signed him to his own reality show, Jon and Manny plus 8.

i think its more of an issue with his injured hand. he's not turning on inside stuff and getting beat there.. and thats always been so great about manny is that you can't beat him inside.


but he is a cheater, and cheaters never prosper..

Ramirez's new $45-million, two-year Dodgers deal is worth $42,005,723 according to the union filing obtained by SI.com. Ramirez is to be paid $25 million for 2009 and $20 million for 2010. But the actual payouts are as follows: $10 million in '09, $10 million in '10, $8.33 million in '11, $8.33 million in '12 and $8.33 million in '13. He is to receive no interest on the deferred payments, bringing the value down nearly $3 million from $45 million to $42 million.

For Ramirez, the key is the ability to void the contract after 2009, at which point he can become a free agent. A full no-trade provision is also in the contract.

Sounds pretty prosperous to me.

Sounds like Juan Pierre should be playing so I can get my lead back in SB's!!!

there are some claiming this is the manny without roids.

he's going bret boone on us before our very eyes.

A player losing ability once off the roids? No way!
