What he said.

Six Dodgers signed - PE.com - Professional Sports

Blake DeWitt, Scott Elbert, Victor Garate, Matt Kemp, Lucas May and James McDonald agreed to terms on contracts for 2009.

Here's a really good article from ESPN "free insider" discussing the Manny Ramirez debacle:

I particularly liked this find further into the article:

I am SO HAPPY we got out of that mess...

And The Dodgers beat the Rockies 13-5 today in Spring Training. I'm looking forward to March 4 vs. San Francisco free streaming video!!!

What's the big deal about the money being deferred? It's not like Manny needs the money immediately. I mean come on, the guy's got to already have more millions than he knows what to do with.

its great hearing its "Time for Dodger Baseball" again and the first O-Dogg mention by Vin

so is it time to bring back the baseball avatars?
