On Manny Ramirez and Revisionist History

Sons of Steve Garvey — They're trying to rewrite history. It's the same old mainstream media guys, banging away on their Smith-Coronas, trying to convince you that Manny Ramirez was a blemish on Los Angeles Dodgers history. That he was nothing more than a petulant goofball who quit on the Dodgers years ago, shouts Bill Plaschke. That he was not only tainted by his drug suspension, but that his tenure was an ugly classless run, proclaims Dodgers-hater / Phillies-fawner Jayson Stark. That his final Dodger at bat, getting tossed arguing a strike-one call (after being inexplicably benched for four straight games by...

  • Dodgers' Web musings: Thoughts now turn to next season and the need for a major bat Dodgers Blog | Los Angeles Times Things are so bad for the Dodgers these days -- hey, I’m not even talking divorce court -- they’re almost as far out of the wild-card race (eight games) as the division lead (nine). They are down and not getting up. Further evidence for the bleeding-blue faithful is offered by SI.com’s Tom Verducci, who wrote that since the formation of the eight-team playoff format, only one of baseball’s 112 teams made the postseason after starting Sept. 1 more than 3½ games out (the ’07 Rockies were five back).
