Not much new on the Manny Ramirez front today, but I want to link to a awesome article from Tuesday's Los Angeles Times: "What does Manny Ramirez have that Kobe Bryant doesn't?"

Tuesday, of course, was the day after Manny Ramirez turned down a one year, $25 million dollar contract offer from the Dodgers.

Ironically that was also the day after the Lakers' Kobe Bryant set a Madison Square Garden record for most points scored in one game.

Wait, why does that matter?

Well, the Lakers only pay Kobe $21.2 million.

Ha!

Anyway, tonight the Lakers play the Celtics at the new Garden, where I hope Kobe sets the new record for fewest points scored in one game.
