You Can't Win, Frank
From prep school to old school, the Dodger focus flips today; smartly and solidly and finally.November 27, 2005:His name is Ned Colletti, and he's an old-time baseball guy, from his affection for snakeskin boots to his love of snake-free clubhouses.
Thirteen days, it has been.Is this some kind of record? The guy's been in office thirteen whole days and Plaschke runs an attack column with the usual fact-evading tripe. What happened to the snake-killing hero of yesterweek? Guess that guy hasn't delivered a World Series winner in under two weeks.Unlucky, unruly, unwatchable 13.
Since Ned Colletti became general manager of the Dodgers, a team has used minor leaguers and cash to acquire a top starting pitcher and veteran third baseman.
It wasn't the Dodgers.
A team has acquired a power-hitting first baseman who is smart at the plate and great in the clubhouse.
It wasn't the Dodgers.
A team's new general manager has traded a popular star to acquire a championship center fielder.
It wasn't Colletti.
Throughout baseball, managers have filled hot stoves and sold season tickets with talk of future hopes and heroes.
Not the Dodgers, who are in their 55th day with no manager.
Since Ned Colletti became the boss, only one thing of note has happened with the Dodgers, and somebody with the team apparently tried to hide it.
: 11/27/2005 03:40:00 AM"Thirteen days, it has been. And what this Coletti pisher is doing to the Dodgers, don't ask!"
When did Yoda start at the Times?
Hey Plashke: "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
