Ay Bay Bay, Ay Bay Bay - Manny Who?

Photobucket
Well, this is already working out much better than I expected.  I was very disappointed when the Red Sox traded Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers and only received Jason Bay in return but he showed this past weekend why this might not be as lopsided of a trade as it first seemed.  His debut game was a combination of great defense and timely offense, with a HUGE triple in the bottom of the 12th that helped the Sox pull out the win.  He followed that up with a HR on Saturday and the Sox got another win with a final score of 12-2.

As many probably expected, Manny is on a tear in LA since the trade.  He is currently 8-13 at the plate with a double, 2 HR's and 5 RBI's.  He also had 4 hits yesterday to help the Dodgers win 9-3.  Expect to see more of this for the rest of the season as he will probably be motivated to play as well as possible for that new contract next year.  What a freakin' punk.  Good riddance.  Click Here for video highlights of Manny in LA.
