From the NY Post: Bowa Says the Dodgers Need Manny
"I'm going to tell you something right now, if Manny Ramirez doesn't sign with us, we're in deep trouble. Deep, deep, deep trouble," Bowa said on WFAN this morning..."I don't know, but you know what I'll take Manny knowing what I know about him. I'll take him in our lineup, because we'd be lost without him."

Yeah
I don’t think Bowa has the filter between brain and head that most of us do. Or perhaps he doesn’t have a brain. :)

I don't think it will effect the negotiations really.
Its not like Bowa is in Ned’s ear. I’m sure many of the players think the same thing. Boras can’t use the 3rd base coach as leverage.

Well,
it certainly doesn’t help.

But is he lying?
Sounds like the truth to me. I don’t know about completely lost, but Manny will be the anchor of the lineup. Until Kemp, Loney, Ethier, or Martin have a break out power season, we still lack the big bopper in the middle.
Bowa is speaking his mind. Is it a smart thing to do? No. But he’s not involved with the baseball operations side of things.
Maybe he knows something we don’t. Perhaps the Dodgers are close and only differing by a few million and this is Bowa’s attempt at telling the Dodger brass to just get it down already.
Who knows.
I'll write what my sister said when I told her this quote
“Thats why some people go into baseball and some people go into literature”.
