so the big news here in los angeles is that the dodgers have acquired manny ramirez!! as far as i can recall, the dodgers haven't had a superstar since piazza and nomo way back in the day. friday night's game sold out within a matter of hours once the trade was announced and people have just been going crazy over it. danG and i went to the sunday afternoon game and it was absolutely amazing. well, first of all, it was blisteringly hot and so we had to get up every few innings to go stand back in the shade. also, ken jenkins from scrubs was sitting behind us, so that was cool. but really, the highlight of the game was the game itself. pretty much every game i've gone to the past couple years has been pretty low key, very few hits and even fewer runs, but the game was actually exciting. the whole stadium would stand up and go crazy every time manny was up, and the entire team just seemed to be playing a little harder (uh, russell martin scoring from first on a double!?! - that shit would never have happened before). so, yaaayyyyy manny!
