Don Mattingly's disgrace

[xpress34]

He was really able to whip those sweathogs into shape, and look at what a star Travolta turned out to be
think Gabe Kapler would be an amazing choice

Ken -

only problem is that was Gabe Kaplan, not Kapler.

Hey Smitty,

I have a sneaking suspicion that Ken was aware of that fact.

On a related note, your post reminded me of the character in the series '30 Rock' that wasn't able to recognize sarcasm. If I remember correctly, they said it was because he was from Canada. Did anyone see those episodes? They were pretty funny

The Sporting News reported that the Dodgers job is down to 2 people: Gabe Kapler and Dave Roberts. Bud Black apparently pulled out of the running after he received what he considered a lowball offer from Dodgers management.

Dave M.

Anyone here believe Dave Roberts will actually have control of making the Dodgers line-ups, pinch-hitting decisions, and pitching changes during the game? I believe that if he does, the Dodgers can only get better.

But something's telling me the orders will be coming in from the executive box upstairs, which is why they threw an insulting offer to Bud Black. They really didn't want a "real" manager. They wanted a guy who would just be happy with the position.

I hope I'm wrong. But something just ain't sitting well with me. If you are trying to find a good manager, and it's down to Bud Black, Dave Roberts, or that guy from Welcome Back Kotter....how in the word do you let Bud Black escape?

Erstad was the other person in the final four. Two of the final four self select out? Something in the process is turning people off.

This is the thread that keeps on giving
No doubt it will be active until at least the end of next postseason
