I thought Willie Randolph had the stuff to
be a manager - he watched Torre for many
years and was a baseball lifer. But it's impossible to argue with the turnaround of the Mets after his departure.

Despite the fact that Juan Pierre has had
ample time as a Dodger (1026 Plate Appearances) to
prove how worthless he is to the team, Joe Torre seems hell-bent on having him leadoff anyway. "'He doesn't give us the power that Kemp gives us, but he knows how to lead off,' Torre said of Pierre." Well that's just dandy then isn't it? If that...

Yeah, it was probably just a lucky guess,
but Kershaw is getting called up as I predicted
earlier. "Clayton Kershaw will be promoted to start Tuesday night's game against the Rockies, part of what could be a busy 10 days of Dodgers roster moves leading up to the Trade Deadline. This time, said Torre, he expects Kershaw to stay in the starting rotation, perhaps for a decade or so if...

I just finished re-watching the 9th inning of
the game last night, and it was a truly
ridiculous comeback, especially when you consider how anemic the offense has been this year. I think my change from despair to elation was similar to the back-to-back-to-back-to-back home run game (with the Nomar walk-off, of course) against the Padres two years ago. No, nothing will probably ever compare to...

Last night, the Dodgers' hitters were so inspired
by Don Mattingly's mere presense that they decided to
stop sucking. God only knows what he said to all of them before the game, but he should do it before every game. I would imagine his speech to the guys was something along the lines of, "STOP BEING A BUNCH OF SINGLE HITTING PRISSES AND HIT THE...

I don’t know who I hate more, Brian
Falkenborg or Joe Torre. I guess I’ll go with
Torre for now, especially since it’s not really Falkenborg’s fault that he sucks copious amounts of penis. After all, the guy has always sucked, and it’s Torre’s fault for continuing to pitch him. But losing today isn’t the main thing that drives me mad about Torre’s decision making. Rather, what drives me over...
