Congrats to you Dodgers fans for grabbing MANRAM at the trade deadline. Its not like the Tigers are going to win their division this year...what a fall from grace..but I digress. I just wonder if he's going to keep up his stupid MANRAM antics and whether or not this will be a distraction for the team...

Good luck LA...you guys can have him. He's a great hitter but the baggage that comes with the "Manny being Manny" is to distracting. Just wait...you'll see. It's a shame because I did want him to finish his career in Boston

First Jones who we actually over paid for , now this tard. And Maddux will possibly be returning. It?s the Leisure World of the MLB. Like the Giants were last year.

I have watched nearly every game Manny has played for the past 8 years since he came to the sox. I have followed every saga and dramatic story... The guy is a phenomenal hitter... no doubt

Wait till he doesn't run out his first ground ball on the Dodgers... Wait till he doesn't hustle when a fly ball is hit over his head in the outfield... Wait till the man decides he doesn't feel like playing because he is MANNY and doesn't have to if he doesn't want to... There is no doubt the the Red Sox are not as good as they were five hours ago and no doubt that the Dodgers are better... But trust me... Get your popcorn ready ladies and gents because your in for a real treat watching this child trapped in a man's body...
You're just not getting it.......The Dodgers ARE JUST THAT DESPERATE!! We haven't had a power hitter in ages!!! So we'll put up with Manny, like we put up with Milton Bradley, Darryl Strawberry, Eric Davis (currently Andruw Jones), and all the other psychos we've had through the years. Besides....it's LA, we KNOW crazy around here!!!

Honestly it won't matter. LA is not fanatical about baseball, not like the crazy yanks and sox fans.

We'll give you the whole Dodgers team, to get a football franchise back.

Manny will be on his best behavior these last two months of the season. He's playing for another big contract so you know he will be trying. The Red Sox are paying the remainder of his salary (7M) so it really only cost the Dodgers LaRoche. What do we have to lose? They can bench him if he acts up. He respects Joe Torre and he will keep him in check (I hope). The Dodgers have 5 outfielders.

GO BLUE!!!

Good riddance. Not sorry to see him go.

I am, however, looking forward to "I can't play because my hair hurts".
