I've read some crazy stuff on The San Francisco Chronicle lately but this one made me laugh. Bruce Jenkins had this to say: {linked here}It took just one day for Manny Ramirez to divide the Dodgers in half. The two sides consist of Manny, all by himself, and everyone else. The way he is approaching the final year of his contract, you wonder if he'll be gone - or essentially worthless - by the trading deadline.
Once he turns against an organization, it's all over. People are laughing heartily in Boston right now, because Man-Ram's tenure ended there after he quit on the team.
Huh? Worthless by the trading deadline? Quit on the team?
Ramirez is worthless in the trading deadline right now! Nobody will get him with his price tag and declining skills. Just because he announced that he won't be back with the Dodgers doesn't mean he is done with the team this year!
Also, why is everyone so "shocked" on what Ramirez said? Of course he won't be back. Everyone knows it including the media! This is news that shouldn't be news at all.
Ramirez should be alright. He came in camp on time and is looking good. I'm just hoping that he gets his swing back and help the Dodgers. If he's terrible, then at least we know he won't be back next year.
The S.F. Chronicle has it all wrong. Just worry about your Giants.

There's one thing I'm looking at all this and makes me believe everything will be alright with Manny this year: He's in camp early. If he truly didnt care and was looking to mail it in this season would he have arrived in camp early ready to go? Manny is notorious for arriving to camp late and the fact that he's there already to me anyway, shows he wants to prove his doubters wrong
MANNY! MANNY! MANNY! LOL i cant wait till opening day...
You beat me to the punch again! :) I saw this article earlier and thought the exact same thing. Nice work!
I agree Douge825 !
Thanks Chris :)
Jenkins proves himself weekly to be an idiot in his Saturday column.
He spent about a third of it three weeks ago explaining that Peyton Manning was not one of the all-time great quarterbacks, apparently because he didn't play in the 50s.
I would take his assessment that the Dodgers are doomed as a guarantee of a 90-win season.
