With a layback LA attitude, Manny officially became a Dodger in Sunday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.  In a very important 9-4 win against the D-Backs, “Hollywood-Manny” had a great game: going 4-5 (.310), including a double (23), a homerun (22), 2 runs scored, and 3 RBI (73). According to All-Star Dodgers catcher Russell Martin, Manny has “brought a new life to our team… everyone is kid of a little bit looser, having more fun, and we just know we’re going to put runs on the board with him in the lineup.” The Manny fever is to the point that even Ex-Yankees skipper, Joe Torre, speaks highly of the ever-imposing veteran: “He’s such a good hitter, and he’s got such a basic approach to the game, through the middle… You can see where he hits the ball. That usually helps you offset the fact that you don’t know these guys very well. He stays in the strike zone a long time.” In tonight’s pitching match up, for the visiting LA Dodgers, will be RHP Chad Billingsley (11-9, 3.05, 145 K, 55 BB, in 138.2 IP) VS.
