The Dodgers need new OWNERSHIP not new management. I am willing to keep Don Mattingly on as manager. He sounds committed and the guys are motivated under his leadership. The team does not in any way totally suck. I don’t know how you could follow the past 3 months and say that.

Kershaw is up for Cy Young and Matt Kemp is up for MVP. Kemp has now tied Tommy Davis for all time high RBIs in one season, and hit 39 homers, one shy of making the 40-40 club.

In addition, our youth movement -— Jerry Sands, Justin Sellers, Dee Gordon -— looks very promising. The bullpen finally came together in the second half of the season and we have quality relievers in Kenley Jansen and Javy Guerra, among others.

The team is shaping up to be one of my favorite Dodger crews ever, and I go back to opening day, 1958.

First thing they have to do is get rid of McCourt BADLY..once they get rid of him they can start bringing in some talent on this team that can surround Matt Kemp and others that we intend on keeping. I like Mattingly I hope they keep him too..I meant to say ownership not management so my mistake. Sucks that not only did the Dodgers go down but so did the Angels, who only have themselves to blame. They were only a 1 1/2 back from Texas and they blew it, they had it, they freakin had it, but in typical Angel fashion found a way to tank..now no baseball and no basketball either or so it seems
