Each day a member of The Desert Sun sports staff gives a biting take on one of the day's biggest stories. Today, assistant sports editor Shad Powers reacted to Manny Ramirez opting to stay with the Dodgers.

Sometimes life deals us tough decisions. This was not one of them for Manny. Let's see, $20 million from the Dodgers or $0 from no team? I think the $20 mil from L.A. will work. Good call, Manny. Don't spend it all in one place. Specifically don't spend it all with your special doctor friend in Miami.
