    Apparently Hillman was a yes man because he should have challenged him on some of the mistakes he made. I love it when I hear about bench coaches are vital and yet this bench coach thing hasn't been around since the beginnings of baseball it's a recent thing. Sure the old time managers had maybe a guy he trusts on his staff i.e pitching/1st/3rd base coaches but they made the decisions basically alone. How ever did they do that without a bench coach!!!!!!! You win all of your cases (games) without any help. What a fucking nightmaaare!!!!!!!!:D

    Lasorda had Russell. It's been around for a long time and it should be. I get the impression Hillman called most the shots and Don went with it...I guess we'll see this season if things are different or not.

    I think in Russells case Tommy was grooming him for the job.

    WTF does it all matter? It's so simple, so dress rehearsed.
    Just pick out some nice gowns, have some cool bobblehead nights, have a game Down Under, pick up a few ex-Giants (like my favorite LAD ever, Wilson I hope), get a couple of more utility players on the cusp of retirement, extend Ned to 2020, make a drastic change at some uber important poisition like bullpen phone answering guy, and be bridesmaids for the fucking umpteeth time.
    The Team Who Cried Wolf .
    I'm fucking yawning already... get out the yeyo.

    Not to kick a dead horse, but I would actually love Bruce Boche to manage the Dodgers. He seems to be able to get the best out of mid-level players. Wonder what he could do with a lineup like the Dodgers.

    So what if the Dodgers win 110 games next year but flame out in the playoffs does Donnie get his contract?

    No doubt in my mind...win it all.
    Fuck Metheny and Farrell...no match for the Giant Head.
    Think Dee would have been on the roster instead of Capuano? Think maybe SVS might have had a role other that a National Anthem staring match?
    Think he would have wrestled with starting Nolasco for days, state it publically, and then start him anyways?

    LOL, that's the same manager that started Zito in the post season. He's so hated by Giant fans at times....same shit, different uniform...and I love Bochy.

    Well Fordie, I'm filled with a sense of warmth and satifaction that I can give you a chuckle....or an LOL or whatever. Comedy is my life, you see.
    However amusing this incident may be to you in correlation to what I wrote, I always use (mostly) use the scientific method to substantiate what I write...
    In this case, in spite of the amusing Zito start, I rely on the indisputable fact the guy has been the skipper of two World Series Champions in the last three years.
    Silly SP calls aside, that's pretty good.
    I mean, I'd be happy as Jessica Biel's thong if we had just one in the last 25 years, y'know what I'm saying here?
