Manny, L.A. a perfect fit?


So much for that Dodgers hair policy.

Manny Ramirez, complete with the dreadlocks, made his debut on Friday after a somewhat surprising trade from Boston, who gave up a lot just to rid themselves of the Manny headache.

The irony is now Manny is playing for former Yankees manager Joe Torre. But now maybe they both can bond about being anti-Red Sox.

Trying to make a quick impression, Manny smacked a first-inning home run on Saturday, and celebrated as if his star was going down on the walk of fame.

Now, he's saying he wants to retire as a Dodger.

Huh?

Perhaps, it's just Manny being mouthy. Or maybe he's relieved that he's finally free of those awful Red Sox, who actually had rules against him pushing down and fighting with other employees.

The nerve.

Evidently, the Dodgers have either relaxed their policy of no long hair or Manny can't get an appointment with Frederick Fekkai until Monday.
