If you go to enough games, you would see that anytime there is a pop fly, people think it’s a homerun, not just when Manny is hitting. I never said I didn’t like Pierre but I would rather have Kemp and Ethier out there than Pierre. Pierre is the odd-man out. You don’t have to remind of the Dodgers place in the standings. I know where they’re at and I always know where they’re at. The Dodgers were within first place but they couldn’t get over the hump. They had the share of first at least twice before Manny got here. But to say that Manny hasn’t made an impact is crazy. The Dodgers themselves have said that he’s made an impact. Martin, Loney and Kemp have commented on it. I’m not going to cheer for Manny just because he’s Manny, but since he’s arrived in LA, he has been on fire. The Dodgers aren’t paying him anything right now, and the $100 million is what everyone is speculating about. The Dodgers will decide at the end of the season whether or not they should try and keep him and at how much. I also never said the only reason the Dodgers are doing better is batting average. They’ve had the best pitching in the NL for most of the season. That’s the reason the Angels are doing so well too, good pitching.
Lucky for the Dodgers that, so far, Manny’s defense hasn’t cost them a game.
