Welcome Back to the West Coast, We’ve Missed You
Manny Ramirez is back, and so is The Bias.
OK, so Manny was nowhere to be found during the offseason, kind of like WCBias.com over the weekend during our redesign, but we’re back. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
So we’ve gots some new stuff to tell y’all ’bout here at the West Coast Bias Sports [...]
Right Back Where We Started From–A Delayed Manny Reaction
I figured I needed a day to sort out my feelings about the Manny signing but after thinking and waiting I realized my feelings, much like the tortuous negotiations themselves, haven’t really changed much. I was happy when I heard the news and I’m still smiling twenty-four hours later. The only thing better than having [...]
Do You Think Manny Ramirez Knows We’re In a Recession?
This is gonna date me, but I vividly remember when the Yankees made Dave Winfield the highest paid player in baseball.
It was 1981, and Winfield got a 10-year deal for $23 million. At the time, people bitched and moaned because 1.) In the Reagan recession, regular Joe’s (and Jane’s) weren’t seeing their checks increase, though [...]
Adios
Manny is out, Dodger fans. He’s not coming back, it’s not going to happen. At this point the man has two options—either a) take less money to play elsewhere or b) retire. I don’t see any other way, do you? No team has a bigger chunk of money burning a [...]
It’s official: Journalism degrees are now worthless
You know what’s funny, aside from the Detroit Lions going 0-16, and Manny still searching for a home (the Dodgers are apparently looking at Adam Dunn as another option to replace ManCan’tFindAHomeMann)? The number of jobs in sports journalism these days.
Not that I’m into journalism any more, but if I were, I’d be bummed. BG [...]
A Few of Scott’s (Least) Favorite Things
According to mega-agent and soulless vampire Scott Boras, the Dodgers’ offer to Manny Ramirez is nothing short of a gross travesty. With that in mind WCBias has compiled a (not all inclusive list) of other things Scotty B is appalled by:
· Four and a half star hotels· The dancing scene at the end [...]
Long Time Coming
It’s been a while since we’ve had something to cheer about. And I’m not talking about your standard “double-play with runners on first and third with one out” or “stolen base by Matt Kemp” type of cheering. I’m talking about cheering. Chanting. Screaming. Buzzing. Little girls (and I [...]
Manny Meets the Press
The Great One has touched down in Los Angeles.During his meet and greet with the L.A. media prior to today’s game against Arizona, Manny Ramirez announced he’d be wearing No. 99 — the same number Wayne Gretzky wore when he played for the L.A. Kings, although Manny admitted he didn’t know much about hockey being [...]
Manny Mania goes Hollywood
For the third straight week, “Quotes of the Week” revolve around Manny Ramirez. (When doesn’t the world revolve around Man-Ram?) But this time, Manny is the object of our affection for good reason – he’s going, going, back, back to Cali. … Manny will officially be welcomed at a 4 p.m. press conference today. We’ll [...]
Wham, Bam, Thank You Man-Ram
You’ve gotta be freaking kidding me.That’s the initial reaction to today’s news that the Dodgers have traded for Manny Ramirez after ESPN reported all day that he was either going to the Marlins or going nowhere.Which got me thinking:
Am I wrong, or didn’t Joe Torre used to manage the Yankees and despise ManRam?
Didn’t Manny [...]
