LA Times Dodger's Blog Misses Biggest News Of The Season

This is sad when bloggers are paid to cover a team and are one of the last places to report the news of the Manny Trade. Look at this post at 1:27 pm Pacific from Blue Notes the LA Times Dodger Blog:

Crickets

Nothing doing for the Dodgers as of 1:22, past the 1 pm non-waiver deadline but still not entirely out of the window for deals to trickle in. Don't expect anything, though.

SI had already announced the trade at 1:20 and I even had it at 1:26...it was thirty minutes later before the site even posted anything about the trade with this:

Manny?

Hey all, I'm working on getting Manny Ramirez confirmation. From what I hear, it's Manny to L.A. for Andy LaRoche and Triple-A righty Bryan Morris (apparently well thought of, but had Tommy John a while back) to Pittsburgh, with Jason Bay the main prize for Boston.

Making calls, trying to get some info. But for now, that's what I know.

AK

Some inside info these guys have. Dodger fans might want to turn to another source for their news. It will make Manny happy to know that the press will not be following him around and reporting on his every move in LA.

For shame LA Times. They should have been doing NOTHING today but scouting potential trades.
