"He quit on the Dodgers" (Man-Ram)

• Man-Ram / Chicago Buildings: Here I come!  {The LFP} Taking over Sears Tower? I did read a while ago that it's no longer called "Sears Tower". It's "Willis Tower". Nice job Mike.

The Dodgers start a homestand tonight with a 3 game series against the Phillies. It will be interesting to see what Joe Torre and Ned Colletti have to say later today. How are they going to comment on this Manny Ramirez trade. I say it's going to be interesting because they had said all along that they wouldn't trade Man-Ram if they are still in the playoff race. I guess this means they think they are no longer on the race. Right?

Huh? How did Manny Ramirez quit on the Dodgers? He was benched four straight games. Like I mentioned before, I wasn't a big Man-Ram supporter but I can 't even say that he quit on the team. Why would you say he quit? How did he quit? Getting ejected from yesterday's game? I find that hard to believe.

It looks like I will be getting L.A. Fair tickets for Dodger Day from the fine folks of the L.A. Fairplex. I don't know how many tickets the L.A. Fair will be giving me. Nothing confirmed.  Once I get them, I will be giving them away here at the blog. So stay tuned! I told them I have the best readers! :)

Got to go. Going to L.A. No, not for the Dodger game. Just wish me luck :) 

Peace!
