Where Did the Love Go?
With Manny telling the media that this year will be his last in Dodger Blue, we can’t help but ask: when did the honeymoon end?

Manny’s Baby Shower
Back in May, 50 games sounded like an eternity. But now that Manny’s paid his penance, the Dodgers couldn’t be more excited to bring their slugger back to the lineup. And this past weekend, they pulled out all the stops to make him feel welcome again. We understand the confusion: Manny does have excellent birthing […]

“Ned Colletti is a Thief” by Zachary “Z-man” Rubenstein
When I heard that Russell Martin signed with the Dodgers for less than $4 million for just one year, I was appalled. Here’s a player entering his prime who has all the tools to be a superstar: talent, intensity, and from what Manny tells me, the ability to make one mean empanada. But as the […]
“Show me the Manny!“by Zachary “Z-man” Rubenstein
When the annual MLB General Manager Meetings concluded last week in southern California, I was shocked: not a single deal had been struck. From Cashman to Colletti, the GMs went home empty handed, and no agent was able to score even the smallest payday for a single client. Sure, the tough economic times are something […]
