An Insomniac Throws Darts
Jamie McCourt, his power-hungry wife who wears the Size 0 mini-skirts, is making a majority of the decisions alongside her key henchman, senior vice-president of public affairs Howard Sunkin, whose baseball background is the same as Jamie's dress size. His background is in public affairs and politics.Wow -- I'd like to know his source for knowing how Jamie suddenly took over the GM desk. I can sure agree with Keisser on the senselessness of firing the just-hired John Olguin, but asserting Jamie McCourt makes roster selections rather than Paul DePodesta -- well, where does that come from?Team McCourt is running the team without much thought to the product, which is hardly an unusual tactic in the business world, where certain theories are believed to be universal. The McCourt's goal is to squeeze every dollar out of the franchise for their own benefit, and if winning is a byproduct, great. If not? As long as the money keeps coming in, it's tolerable.
News: Dodgers search for a manager continues.Wouldn't we all be better served if the manager and general manager were on the same page regarding player development? How many more Hee Seop Choi's would Tracy have failed to play given the opportunity? And exactly what big-league managerial experience did Walter Alston have prior to taking over the reins in Brooklyn?Muse: Really, it doesn't matter who the Dodgers hire. There are two requirements for Jim Tracy's replacement drink DePodesta's Kool-Aid and work cheap.
Must. Get. Back. To. Sleep.
Keisser, as usual, is quite astute about the wool the Dodgers are attempting to pull over the flocks' eyes. Kool-Aid drinkers, indeed.
