Top ten reasons the Dodgers are going to waive Manny Ramirez

10) He hasn't been the same since taking the pregnant lady roids

9) Somehow don't want to pay nearly $19 million a year for a part-time, defense-free clubhouse cancer

8) Now that Joe Torre has destroyed Jonathan Broxton's value, he needed to up the ante

7) If you aren't going to the playoffs, might as well not go as cheaply as possible

6) The team really needs to figure out exactly what they have in Scott Podsednik

5) They are under the mistaken impression that this will somehow result in less money for Scott Boras

4) Since the ChiSox are rumored to be putting in a claim for him, can't resist the joy of seeing Ozzie Guillen and Planet Manny co-exist, especially since Oz is on Twitter

3) They know that since they aren't a new team, Manny isn't going to try

2) It's a time-honored tactic to threaten him with deportation to get some actual production

1) At his age, he's a fantastically expensive pain in the ass who doesn't actually help a team win
