Manny on Third

Finally.

It has been a long off-season with the Ramirez Coaster taking the entire Dodgers Front Office on a ride well worth the price of admission. So now, after nearly five months of waiting til next year, this year is officially here now that Manny is Back.

To commemorate and celebrate the "Return of the Swing" as the LA Times dubbed it this morning, my team went in to overdrive on Wednesday to get billboards posted around the city within hours of Manny's physical. And as luck would have it, once such board happens to be perched at the end of my block, above a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, practically embodying the essence of the blog. Most days I'll go with Coffee on 3rd, but I'm happy to offer up the headline to a certain left fielder. So for one day at least, the penultimate baseball question has an answer: Manny's on Third.
