ParticipantIsn’t that Manny being Manny?
Dodgers with Manny = NLCS for sure.
Dodgers without Manny may wind the crappy NL worst but will get bounced quickly.
I agree that it is a slap in the face for us.

What pisses me off more is that the “stimulus” package provides for substantially increasing tax deductions for movie productions for hollywood studios.
At least Manny isn’t being paid with tax dollars.

CoronitaParticipantSorry, I sort of don’t get this.
To me, it just seems like some folks have special skills/abilities. And some people can demand more than normal people because of these abilities. If there are people willing to pay for it, and if the markets support this sort of absurdity, it is what it is. And yes, it even allows those people to get away with being a brat…
I sense there’s a prevailing wind to equalize a financial disparity irrespective of uniqueness. It’s slightly disturbing….Because, it started out with Obama’s mantra for “taxing the rich” and “spreading the wealth”. It just seems like now this is turning into a witchhunt against anyone who has money, even it was earned clean, or earned because people did more or contributed more or has more unique abilities than everyone else.
Has communism/socialism finally caught on the U.S. of A? It’s slightly disturbing.

ParticipantFlu,
I am a proponent of free enterprise but there comes a point where it becomes absurd, and in my estimation, when you have school teachers raising the next generation of leaders barely able to survive on what they get paid, it is, again, in my view, a case of miss priorities in this country.
We make idols out of these people that swing a tree branch at a leather ball instead of teaching our children who they should really look up to in life and teaching them priorities.
We have CEO’s that bury companies and do little more than mass layoffs to look like they turned a company around and they get compensated with golden parachutes while all the people that worked their ass off to feed the vision get raped (Bear Stearns).
Above and beyond this these guys don’t play for the love of the game anymore or most of them don’t. Just go look at the stats of guys that are in their final year of a contract and see how much better they play then when they first sign a multi year deal.
As far as I am concerned, if you get bonuses for certain milestones (catches, TD’s, etc) then you should get docked 25K every time you screw up and drop the ball (Braylon Edwards).
The bottom line: These player’s will assume the position very soon along with their respective unions.
And yes, I am tired of it and am going to do something about it. Not support it in any way shape or form.
