Lyons shows he's still a whiz with the language

Obviously running out of adjectives to describe the impact that Manny Ramirez has had on the Dodgers since joining the team last Friday, the team-approved broadcast team on Thursday's telecast from St. Louis found a new phat phrase to put it in a way that may even escape Vin Scully 's vocabulary depth.

"You know all year long I've been calling Matt Kemp 'The Tinkle Guy,' 'cause you don't want to use the men's room when he's hitting," Dodgers TV analyst Steve Lyons said during the FSN Prime Ticket broadcast, "but maybe Manny's 'Tinkle 2.'"

"The sequel," chimed in Charley Steiner.

Ah, yellow journalism.

Maybe before the next homestand, Lyons will try to quantify Ramirez's production by habla'ing some Espanol.
