For Pete's Sake, Don't Blow It, Frank
Reminding Frank that there used to be some class in this organization, Peter O'Malley makes some noise from Valhalla:
Former Dodger owner Peter O'Malley, reacting to the resignation of club president Bob Graziano and vice president of business Kris Rone, said Friday that he hoped this didn't portend another long period of instability for the organization and that new co-owner Frank McCourt needed to reveal his vision and agenda as soon as possible.Well, don't you know, Peter, his vision apparently involves learning the A-B-C's beyond the third letter. You know, like H for "hitter". Fortunately, B encompasses "bat", but also "bonehead", which adequately describes many of McCourt's moves in the brief time he's run the show in Dodgertown. Not that Frank would listen to a word Peter would have to say -- after all, O'Malley washed his hands of the team in the end, and took up with Eli Broad on a competing bid when it became obvious the Parking Lot Attendant didn't have enough quarters to buy the team. But I'm sure we'll be treated to lots of fun future press conferences if Peter disagrees violently with the McCarpetbaggers."We don't know what his vision and agenda is," O'Malley said. "When we do, maybe we'll have a better understanding and be better able to evaluate these changes.
"It's important he communicates and tells fans what his direction is. You can't fool the fans. My dad and I had their total support for decades because they understood what our direction was."
O'Malley said he wasn't being critical of McCourt. "With change of ownership comes change of management," he said. "I just hope there aren't too many changes in too short of time.
