I was disappointed when someone from SoCal wasn't interested in ownership of the Dodgers. It seems to be the same reasons why LA can't get a replacement for the Rams...lack of interest I guess.bobmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17006203809045597080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-54723798363643274792007-10-30T18:12:00.000-07:002007-10-30T18:12:00.000-07:00...and by the way, I'm cool with Josh Rawitch, sav......and by the way, I'm cool with Josh Rawitch, save his DodgerTalk freakout incident.

Which is why I am not surprised he took the classy way out at today's press conference and didn't disparage the Judases around him. <BR/><BR/>As for why I haven't opened a can of criticism whupass on Colletti: believe me, I feel your pain...every time I see Juan Pierre (whom I tried very, very hard to support this year--until I was forced to give up thanks to never getting on base, his penchant for weak fly outs, and shoddy defensive play).<BR/><BR/>And finally, you should know me well enough to know that I support the Dodgers with everything I've got. It kills me to see the team once again acting like a three-ring circus, just as we did after the 2005 offseason. I highly doubt that these moves are part of McCourt's "master five-year plan" (the only thing I do know is part of McCourt's five-year plan is increasing ticket prices at every possible opportunity). But if all of this pain brings us a championship team in 2008--believe me, we'll be cheering, right along with you.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading, btw.

While I enjoy your blog, do we believe you or Grady Little? On the conference call this afternoon, Grady said the decision was his. Now if McCourt and Colletti are as bad as Sax says, why not say so...after all he is not employed anymore? Last week Sax dumped all over Little, now it is McCourt. Take a quick STAB at Colletti and then let's get back to supporting the Dodgers. Enough is really enough.bobmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17006203809045597080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-65864387043090311252007-10-30T17:23:00.000-07:002007-10-30T17:23:00.000-07:00Yeah, and don't expect any muffin baskets from Jos...Yeah, and don't expect any muffin baskets from Josh Rawitch anytime soon.Orelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167042485092304070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-4457498460139059822007-10-30T17:07:00.000-07:002007-10-30T17:07:00.000-07:00*viewed**viewed*tad swiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650614561792907315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-31407851637554966942007-10-30T17:06:00.001-07:002007-10-30T17:06:00.001-07:00"And I keep thinking: Why the hell would he want t..."And I keep thinking: Why the hell would he want to join Frank McCourt's crazy team? Frank McCourt is exactly the type of mercurial, back-stabbing owner that would drive any team manager nuts. Didn't Torre just leave that situation in New York, amazingly leaving with his pride and dignity intact? "<BR/><BR/>exactly. i think torre is going to regret this seemingly reboundish type of jumping into a new job just to prove to your ex employer you can get another job. <BR/><BR/>I believe Torre will be safe in L.A. as long as he's willing to manage here because...who ya gonna upgrade to? The steinbrenner sons wanted everyone to know like that one gm we used to have, that there is a new sherriff in town and view him as overpaid, which he was.tad swiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650614561792907315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-8509391989326387862007-10-30T17:06:00.000-07:002007-10-30T17:06:00.000-07:00Just as the Dodgers have become the Red Sox Lite (...Just as the Dodgers have become the Red Sox Lite (sans championship), McCourt has become Steinbrenner Lite.
