It's no surprise that it will be Don Mattingly who turned the position down at the start of the season to devote time to family as he was in the middle of a divorce. But he has since told the Dodgers he's ready to join in a full time capacity. He will be replacing Mike Easler. [link]

It's about that time of year. That time when the legendary meatheaded assholes of baseball remove their suits of drugs in favor of the more traditional uniform of America's Pastime, which still includes a pretty hefty belt for some reason.
