    Every game I look at the lineup and think, "why the hell does he insist on facing everyone (other teams) with one hand behind our back"

    meh Donnie isn't as bad as you all claim. you are just using him as the easiest blame device.

    he's the easiest to blame because he is to blame
    he's the manager -- it's his job to get them ready to play
    and if one balked in run is the most you can motivate your guys to do with a pep talk, then you're not doing it right
    i'll agree it's not all his fault
    but most of it is

    meh I don't really buy that, coaches in baseball have the least effect on the team, the team will play well or it won't at the end of the day. and the team has consistently won under Mattingly anyways, not sure all the complaining about another first place team.

    depends on your definition of success
    we're still leading the west only because the giants are somehow playing even worse than us
    until tonight when that all changes
    and come monday who knows?...

    Kike saved his monkey ass last night. counting this SFG series, a 7 game losing streak was staring him right in the face.

    only?

    That's why they had the 2nd best record in MLB at the start of the week?

    and how's that record against >.500 teams?
    one thing to beat up the pads and dbags
    but if you can't win series against teams like the cards, giants and rangers
    you won't last long come october

    irrelevant. Dodgers beat the Giants and Cardinals in the regular season last year, doesn't mean anything.

    Mine is playing for World Championships.

    Just getting to a World Series would be nice.


    Division titles are like horse shoes and hand grenades.

    it's irrelevant only if something different happens in october
    and i don't think getting our asses handed to us so far by >.500 teams guarantees us success in the postseason

    but back to mattingly
    i said he was shit, you and codge said he wasn't as bad as i was making
    okay, "not as bad", fine
    can you tell me he's a good manager?

    I'm not going to say he's a good manager and I'm not going to say he sucks lizard nuts, but I am going to say that Adrian and Puig not being able to hit (insert no name pitcher here) is not a reflection of Donnie's ability or lack thereof.
