And a wasted $300+ million dollar payroll didn’t help either...

It’ll be like when the Yankees fired Yogi Berra after losing the 1964 World Series.

They’ll be worse next year.

Don’t know what the problem is with this team. Kershaw and Greinke should have been enough to get them deeper into the post-season.

With all that payroll a head had to roll.

Mattingly! I thought I told you to shave those sideburns!

The dodgers have done this before. Too much dissension in the clubhouse from overpaid and over the hill wanna be superstars. Donny is a great baseball man from Indiana. He will do much better with another team with a sensible roster of up and coming players who actually like playing baseball. Look at the Kansas City Royals for a better formula. Even the Houston Astros outperformed this year. Donny should find greener pastures and never look back. Good luck Donny.

Dear Dodgers;

Please sign Mike Scioscia.

No surprise, but as you can clearly see - except for maybe the idiots making the baseball decisions....

ITS ABOUT PITCHING

And the Mets have way more than the Dodgers.....

A Yankees fan.

Ozzie Guillen might be a good fit.
Or maybe it’s just that I like Ozzie Guillen.

Damn shame Sparky Anderson can’t be cloned.

Something I notice about the Dodgers is the attitude in the dugout. Few players seem to connect w/each other. There is a lot of talent, but it appears they are playing as 9 individual ballplayers instead of a team. Compare that to the N.Y. Yankees. Lots of big talent and egos, but it’s common to see a Yankee who just struck out to talk w/the man on deck about the types of pitches thrown. Those of us who play baseball understand the path to winning is when the entire team plays as a team.

I am predicting Tim Wallach will be the next Dodgers’ manager. And he will hire Phil Nevin as the bench coach.

Both were Cal State Fullerton third basemen and won the Golden Spikes Award.

[Cyman]

Terry Francona will be the new Dodger manager. He has an out with Mark Shapiro leaving and Dodgers willing to pay him anything he wants.

Here's the problem with the Dodgers: they're a GREAT regular season team. But once the playoffs begin, the glaring shortcomings of team shows up in a big way--and in this case, a lack of timely hitting. And to think their hated rivals, the San Francisco Giants, have won three World Series already from the 2010 season on....
