Pickoff Moves, Morning Edition
Like Frank Needed Reminding
Colletti, on wearing a certain piece of jewelry to his first press conference as Dodgers GM:"It took me 22 years to get it," he said, when asked how he had the audacity to wear his San Francisco Giants 2002 World Series ring to his first Dodger news conference. "Any time I see somebody wearing this, I know they've been part of something special."
He sighed.
"But this is the loser ring," he said. "The guys down the road, they have a little bigger one."
6-4-2 Has An Ally
... in Paul Oberjuerge of the San Bernardino Sun, mostly. Certainly, I appreciate his comments about OBP and the "antediluvian" LA press, which puts him centuries ahead of and a major league apart from Plaschke and Simers, though I'm of an opener mind than he is about Terry Collins as a manager; maybe he'd be good, maybe not, but he has lost a couple of teams before. It doesn't matter anymore anyway, now that Sweet Lou Piniella is on the Dodgers' radar, as are Jim Fregosi and Lasorda favorite Bobby Valentine. Mercifully, it looks like none of the above are liable to become the next Dodgers manager. Still, I continue to wonder why it is that the best reporting on the LA teams -- in or outside of LA proper -- is being done by papers not named the Times.How To Make The M's A Contender In 2006
U.S.S. Mariner has a plan to fix Seattle, and it mostly involves breaking out the monkeywrench to their offense. But if you believe this analysis -- hinging on the nearly direct correlation with team OPS to runs scored -- Seattle could be a 90+ win team, not in 2007, but next year. Next year. I thought they looked awfully good against the Angels this year despite being a basically lousy team the rest of the time."Otis Redding Was Right"

Which would you rather have: your kids doin' the weed? Or a "drug-free" alternative?
Comments:
isn't valentine out of the picture once and for all, now that he's signed a 3 year deal with chiba lotte?
Scott -- yes, he did. I'm neutral on Collins.
Vishal -- some members of the press continue to hold out hope that he will reappear as a candidate; supposedly he has an out clause in his contract, though it's not clear whether it's his new one or the old one.

Ah...I read your comment as he was anti-Collins and you were open to the possibility (before I read the article). It's too early in the morning to process.
