At the end of last season, Manny, romantic soul that he is, stated that he wanted to come back to the Dodgers, that the first uniform he ever wore, when he was a little tyke, was a Dodger uniform, that he loved the fans and his teammates, etc.  All of which he seems to have forgotten---or maybe he didn't mean all that soppy, treacly stuff in the first place.  The more interesting question is, why won't other teams touch him?  Can it be that the word is out that, when he doesn't get the love he thinks he deserves, when he, for whatever reason, has a slump, when he decides that he won't play hard in the outfield, he becomes the proverbial spoiled brat?  Of course he was awesome for us last year, but all this back and forth, with spring training already started, means that the bloom is off the rose of love that Manny himself created.  If he had just been straight and told us that he was looking for a lucrative deal, well, ok---that's baseball 2009.  But all his sickeningly sweet love for the Dodgers proves to be false.  He's made tens of millions of dollars in baseball, he's 37 years old, for God's sake---what does he want.  I say we should have gotten Abreu---that guy is a ballplayer---and I think we might take a look at Anderson, but Manny?  Enough with the violin music.  Sign with us or move on.
