        <body>mrrefugee, I have been a Dodger and a MLB fan since 1986 and don't care have they have done or will do. I LOVE the sport. Also, Manny did cheat with PED's (without a doctor's official perscription) and he did not lie. I hope you stick it to them Manny. Go &amp;quot;BUCK WILD&amp;quot;!!! Manny and company will be the '09 World Series Champs with Manny as the MVP.</body>

  <body>&lt;p&gt;Good morning DanNation. The July 4th weekend is approaching qucikly. That means one thing -- it's almost Manny time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Dodgers slugger returns on Friday. Expect fans in San Diego to give Manny a hard time. But do the Dodger faithful still love Ramirez? We'll discuss that and several other aspects of his imminent return.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, the NBA free agency market is buzzing. The Pistons with two big signings as they try to get back into contention. Should be a jam-packed show on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is a rundown of the guests:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dylan Hernandez&lt;/strong&gt; -- The &lt;em&gt;Los Angeles Times&lt;/em&gt; Dodgers beat writer joins the show to discuss Manny and his impact on the team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chris Mannix&lt;/strong&gt; -- The SI reporter has the latest on NBA free agency. Does he still like the Spurs to win it all?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rich Eisen&lt;/strong&gt; -- The NFL Network host discusses Michael Vick, Plaxico Burress and more headlines from around the league.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ramsey Poston&lt;/strong&gt; -- The NASCAR spokesman will comment on the ruling that will allow Jeremy Mayfield back on the track.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
