Nice... Manny's hitting clinic is just amazing to watch.

Loney always seems a bit aloof when he's running the bases.

I still remember Scully's comment about LaRoche like it was yesterday although I can't for the life of me remember the circumstances. I'm pretty sure LaRoche was playing for the Braves at the time and a Dodger hit a grand slam home run that was made possible because of a glaring error by LaRoche.
"Adam LaRoche... one minute, the penthouse, and the next, the dismal cellar".
There's a humorous comment about LaRoche in his Wikipedia article that I didn't know:
"LaRoche was heavily criticized for a lackadaisical error he committed in a game on May 14, 2006. He shuffled to first base so slowly on a routine groundball he had easily fielded, that Washington Nationals baserunner Nick Johnson was able to beat him to the bag. LaRoche had turned his back to the play and was unaware that the runner had sped up. He was already moving towards the dugout when he saw the runner called safe, much to his disbelief. It should have been the third out of the inning, but instead the inning continued with four runs eventually scoring. The normally docile Atlanta crowd booed LaRoche for the rest of the game and the blunder was replayed repeatedly by local Atlanta media. Manager Bobby Cox even benched LaRoche for some of the next game as punishment. This incident is said to reflect LaRoche's struggles with Attention Deficit Disorder."
