Since going 3-4 with two homeruns and five RBI on Saturday, Manny ramirez is in a 1-6 slump and his average has dipped under .400 to .395.
The Red Sox, who traded Manny away and haven't seen him slump this badly since, celebrated the occasion with Curt Schilling's favorite cocktail.
"I feel like a kid, jumping around spraying champagne with all these guys," said Jason Bay, the player who was traded to the Red Sox for Manny (source). I don't think Bay noticed that Mike Lowell, who is making $6.5 million more than Bay, was the only player given champagne. But I don't blame Bay, as I've regularly mistaken Bud Light for champagne as well.
I'm not sure what's going on in Dodger Town but this is why they hired Torre and paid him the big bucks, so hopefully he'll get Manny's head out of his ass because .395 doesn't cut it when you're in a pennant race. The Dodgers magic number is now at three after they edged out a 10-1 victory over the Padres last night.
