One of the posters brought up Manny Ramirez last year, and it definitely deserves a post of its own. The phrase "sunk costs are sunk" is a catch-phrase of economics. Borrowing an example from freakonomics (albeit paraphrased and slightly amended)...Say, you've purchased movie tickets ahead of time to...

Joe Torre is not a stupid man. He had to know that life with Manny Ramirez would be trying at best. Even the simplest requests, like asking Manny to cut his hair, would be the equivalent of asking an 8 year old to clean their room -- if they stuff everything covering their floor into their closet, you consider it a win.

Two weeks ago, the Phillies started a four game series against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. All four games were close, but the Phillies got swept by Manny and the Dodgers. Fast forward to today, and the Phillies rode Brett Myers and Jimmy Rollins to a 5-0 win to complete a four game sweep of their own over those same Dodgers in Philadelphia.

The National League's Most Valuable Player could be the best all-around player in the game (Albert Pujols), baseball's home run and RBI leader (Ryan Howard) or the man that single-handedly put the Dodgers into the playoffs (Manny Ramirez).
