The Cuban Missile Continued

Earlier this week, I came across this schedule at Elite as I was leaving, Topps 2009 jumbo pack in hand. I didn't even notice the cover picture until last night when walking out of Target, again with various Topps 2009 packs in hand.

There's been discussion of how Alexei is lizard-ly, chipmunk-ly, cute, or not-cute, but it's becoming clear that Alexei is just plain EPIC. Given all these crazy photos of him out there, my conclusion thus far is that he transcends "photogenic"!

MANNYWOOD IS COMING

UPDATE: MANNYWOOD IS HERE. It's done. Negotiations over. OMG happy. 11.43am

From MLB.com:
"I'm happy in L.A. I like my teammates and had a great time," Ramirez told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday in an interview conducted earlier in the day. "The fans were so good to me; they treated me the best anywhere in my career. And now I think we're getting close (to a deal) ... Tell everyone, Mannywood is coming."

Another happy ending in Mannywood.

It's going to happen today. This will be good for the Dodgers, great for my Fantasy Team and AWESOME for my already-paid-baseball-attending plans. SEE YOU ON JULY 9th, MANNY!
