disagree. the apocalypse came when hanley got an intentional fastball to the ribs in game 1 and the hottest hitter in the league was rendered ineffective for the remainder of the nlcs.
great posts and i think a lot of fans feel similarly, hence the meh attitude about not being able to see the games the team has no appeal, nothing to entice viewers into wanting to watch doesn't even seem like a team, just a bunch of individuals trying to pad their stats no one willing to get on base for the next guy, everyone swinging for the fences trying to hit three-run jacks with the bases empty and that is the manager's fault he has to tell them what to do and penalize them if they do not comply i don't care if it's puig, hanley, kersh, whoever you have to take charge and show them who's boss! but the players know mattingly is weak/soft, so they take advantage but dbb is only part of the problem it starts at the top but instead of working to improve their sinking ship of a baseball team, guggenheim is instead out bidding on the clippers fuck you magic, you pretentious disingenuous cunt and fuck you walter, you fair weather owner losing money is one thing, but your losing a far greater commodity... your fans shame on you for all the bullshit you've fed us and shame on us for believing it last place here we come
and mattingly, in true torre-esque fashion, refused to retaliate what kind of message does that send to the team? as much as i hate the d'bags, you have to give credit to gibson for having kennedy go after puig and zack that's why gibby's players love playing for him, they know he's got their back we should have drilled beltran the cards expected it and would have accepted it but when we did nothing, the series was over right then and there

I really hope the Dbags fire Gibson so we can take him. We've had enough players managers and never got far enough. Gibson with a team with actual talent could do done damage.
Robinson, Nomo, Park, etc. etc. The Dodgers have been first to the west coast, first in Japan, blah blah. First in this, first with that.... How about being the first team naming a mamager (the new title) that we'd like to fuck? (unless of course there are a few that have liked JoTo or Grady or Jim Tracy, etc). I say give it to Alana Rizzo... can it worse than it is now? Plus trips to the mound would be way more interesting watching her walk out and her moves than the ones this zombie we've got now has. Remember when Sarah Silverman was the only comedianne we wanted to bang? Unless you're into Roseann Barr and Edith Bunker. Let's start a trend... Think out of the box. ha.
Fuck Gibson. If he were the manager Puig would be tearing up the minors right now. I want no part of him and his "gritty" mentality. If you're going to replace Mattingly, find someone that knows the stats and correct strategy.
How are we gonna lose this one? I say defensively. We've already had the bullpen implosion and the no offense showing
We need Hanley and Kemp to aid Puig in this World Series conquest. Would also be neat if A-Gon could get that average back up to around .300.
