    He needs to go, but the real sad thing is that becausee of the TV deal (or lack of) I don't really care. I've been a Dodger fan for over 40 years and not being able to watch them on TV is the single greatest fuck you to all of us Dodger fans.

    Fire DBB, yeah that's fine, but someone needs to grab TWC by the balls and solve this shit before more fans disappear...

    I hear you. Fortunately, I don't miss a game being in Seattle. Not that I feel like watching them. Unless of course one of our three aces is going. And the Pig is worth watching.

    I'm just glad the Kings are the Kings. As a life long Kings fan it makes it easier to tolerate the Dodgers (who are living up to their name).

    I've always been of the belief that GG should have fired Ned and Donnie. Get away from the McCunt era with the two biggest guys McCunt hired.

    If there are no leaders in the club house as players, and Donnie can't lead by example, he needs to go.

    Lots of people....lots.
    Strange and incredulous, but true.
    And obviously, the owners rewarded him for the continuation of not getting anywhere.
    Not even willing to try and change the team's direction.
    Losers.

    This says it all......

    To his (maybe) credit, he is now as far out on a limb as he's ever been with his public outing of the clubhouse... Seems like he's trying so I say we let it percolate for a little bit and see if they respond before rounding up the pitchforks?

    We also went on a pretty historic run that doesn't happen every year.

    What this team needs is a nice winning streak of 7-10 games and then start winning series. You can't depend on the Giants slowing down or breaking down. This team has to work out it's problems and work them out quick, because we can't control what the gnats or the teams they face do, only what we do.

    I wouldn't want to play in that wild card game, but it's better than nothing.

    i think he sucks as a manager and still acts like it's his first year. if we suck this year and then we get rid of him promote Wallach

    dont resign Hanley, get that comp pick
    let Arub play SS, half-ear play 2nd base (dee sucks, come on)
    Seager waiting in the wings if Uribe/Arrub suck which is very possible
    trade one of Kemp/Ethier/Crawford+ Zach Lee+ cash for something of use (relief, catching, toolsy fuckers)

    this is my plan after 4 IPA's

    half ear was getting some work in LF before his ear was bitten..his glove can be hidden in the LF corner. Dee's doin a fine job defensively at 2B and deserves a shot at building on his leadoff role + he's still got more steals than more than half the teams in MLB. i can only imagine the damage Dee would be doin if Hanley, Kemp, and Ethier weren't suckin balls.

    Kind of my point, we don't have to go on that historic run this year. Instead of 42-8, if we could just go 30-20 we would be in pretty fucking good shape. But you are correct, we do have to shape the fuck up and pretty soon, too.

    As for the Vagiants, fuck them. Bookmark this...THEY WILL NOT KEEP IT UP. They are on a pace to win nearly 107 games. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. But this team has to be ready to step up when the pumpkins fail.

    agreed
    aren't you supposed to try and win with your horse on the mound?
    fucken idiot
    i've tried to be patient with mattingly at the helm, i really have
    that he was getting his feet wet and would catch on eventually
    but i've come to the sad conclusion that the guy is an incompetent fucken tool
    something needs to be done to light a fire under this underachieving team's ass
    coming out and saying -- through the media -- that there's a chemistry problem acknowledges the problem, but it doesn't matter if you're unwilling/unable to do anything about it
    now i'm not a matt williams fan, but i give him credit for yanking harper a few weeks back when he didn't run out a ground ball
    and what happened?...
    instant respect and credibility
    harper himself said it was the right move and that he was in the wrong
    yet when someone (like kemp the other day) makes a bonehead play on the bases, what happens?...
    squat
    these guys are pampered prima donnas and they know there's zero accountability for their actions
    fuck up a play?... no worries, you'll be back in the lineup tomorrow
    player's manager indeed
    fie his dumb hayseed ass now
    and send a message to let the players know they're no longer in charge
    imo, we will continue to take steps backward until :mattingly: is relieved of his duties
    last year's amazing turnaround wasn't because of him, it was in spite of him
