Donnie Baseball just doesn’t look right in a Dodgers Uniform.

Dodger great Bob Welch passed away today. He represents the Dodger team that was easy to like. He also more than made up for the loss of Tommy John to the Dark Side.

Welch pitched complete games, going 8 and 9 innings regularly, unlike the generation that gets spasms if they are asked to throw the ball over the plate more than 100 times.

If I was coaching today with yesterday’s players, I would send Vic Davalillo and Manny Mota up first and second, with orders to foul off pitches until the opposing pitchers arms fell off. They could do it, too.

Baseball used to be my favorite sport. Today I haven't watched a baseball game in decades. Bunch of sniveling pansies.

The Greatest Play In Baseball!

There’s always a batting coach job for Don up in SF if that LA thing doesn’t work out.

I’m a Dodger fan.

Mattingly is not a good manager. He never should have been made Dodger manager in the first place. Torre’s contract apparently called for it.

He should not have been given the extension after pulling that prima Donna stunt after the season was over.

He pulled the public hissy fit after the season was over.

And now how does he expect his players to not act the petulant prima Donna after he himself did it to get his extension.

I like Donnie Baseball.

Sorry but I’m not feeling it —

As a Giants fan, I think he’s doing a great job.
