The Prickly Dodgers Front Office
As useful as the Inside The Dodgers blog has been — and it's been a great source of roster information, one I don't check nearly often enough — at the same time you do see tendencies that I had hoped wouldn't come out of an official mouthpiece. Take this piece:
If seven straight wins and listening to Vin doesn't make you a Dodger fan, I'm not sure what will. Outside of the cheap shots taken at Tommy Lasorda and the McCourts, the story in today's L.A. Times by Mike Penner was an enjoyable read and does remind us how lucky we are to have had Vin Scully talking to us all these years.Well, let's take a look at that article. Here's what Mike Penner has to say about Lasorda and the McCourts:
If Reggie Jackson was Mr. October, Scully owns April through September. Since the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn in 1958, Scully has been the one constant through the calm collectedness of Walter Alston's managerial tenure, Tom Lasorda's bellicose braying and the blindfolded dart-toss approach to franchise stewardship by Frank and Jamie McCourt.I've made no secret of my increasing disillusionment with Tommy Lasorda, especially in his dotage; he has become, at best, a fifth wheel and at worst a self-serving fount of bad advice. And as for the McCourts, well, it's the the same pair who hired and fired two GMs in the course of two years, not to mention going on a firing spree with almost every piece of bad news to hit the team. Declaring the mild criticism expressed above a "cheap shot" only shows the author knows who writes his paycheck — this week.
