Wow. I was all set to post a blog about how Ned Colletti was the avatar for corporate ineptitude, but I guess I'll limit it to other avatars in a later blog. Two wins in a row against the hated Giants, and now we have perhaps one of the best right handed hitters in the game in the last 30 years in Manny Ramirez, no doubt starting in left field for us tomorrow in Game 2 of the all important Ravine series vs. the Snakes. Albeit, Manny is a potential clubhouse malignancy and is one of the worst defensive outfielders I've ever seen, but his bat is EXACTLY what the Blue needs to get over the hump and win the West. And we gave up virtually nothing to Pittsburgh in the 3 way deal, the Bucs sending Jason Bay to Boston. Andy LaRoche will join his brother in the Burgh, now, as they'll both occupy the corner infield positions. Here in LA, Kemp will play center, Ethier will play right. At times, perhaps, Manny will play right, Kemp in center and Pierre in left. Andruw Jones, the avatar for stinking, may never play again.
Ned Colletti, you had one hour and you did it. Congratulations.
