    Mark Saxon is hearing Don Mattingly's job is safe and unsure about anyone else.

    Don fucking blows, but Ned going is a must. As long as Ned goes, I can suck it up and handle another season of Mattingly. The new GM might actually give him some solid BP options to work with besides the closer, or he may want his own manager as stated. The whole Puig being benched thing is still rubbing me the wrong way though....

    Donnie is a bad rubber, so to speak. You can give a guy new and powerful weapons, but if he doesn't get how to use them, or when, it's a big flat fail again. We need a tried and true leader; one that would make moves that benefit the team.
    He's infllexible in so many ways, as the R/L thing...it's gospel to him, but too dumb to take a guy out who is gassed and use a guy like Haren facing elimination.
    Dumping Ned would be a move in the right direction...not enough mind you, but at least something that's been needed for a long time.

    Brian Wilson has exercised his 2015 player option and will be back at 9.5 million. That is pathetic

    Pathetic yes but smart on his part because of the obvious he sucks and won't get a better offer!

    Maybe Ned will pay him out of his pocket...y'know, for fellowship.
    If it's possible to look at this cretin while he is walking in from the BP with more disdain than I did this year, he just upped the ante for me.
    Not so much about the money, after all the ownership group can light their fucking Romeo y Cleopatra's with it, and what good does it to have an asshole like Ned spending it for you, really in the end... but it's just that this circus freak will still be fucking the Dodgers again next season.
    Like so-o-o- many have under Ned. Paying guys years after they were out of the game...reeks of his desperations for so long.

    contract year. Felt like taking this year off... Should pitch well enough for Ned to give him a 3 year 30 million dollar contract then suck again.

    Oh wait, Ned should be gone. phew

    Let $$ talk, everyone's got a price, I'm sure Tampa does too. Bring Maddon along with him...

    Whenever I think of Forrest Gump, I think of Don Mattingly.

    C'mon JPL...Gump's IQ was 76...do you DBB's is that high?
    But I agree...there are striking similarities.

    I want Hanley back too. But his defense is so bad and I don't think putting him at 3rd is the answer.
