We're so fucked with this guy as the manager

[realmofotalk]

"I know everybody talks about [James Loney's] power, but he has been right around 90 RBI every year," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Last year, he was on pace to drive in 115-120. He had 63 at the break, and it just went bad. Nobody would even be talking about home runs if he had driven in 115 runs. ... I think this guy has it in him, I really do."

This is right up there with Ned Colletti saying, "They don't give you more points for a home run than an RBI single."

Oy dios mio.

I'm going to assume you all look at this like a lot of Reds fans did when Dusty Baker said he wanted people to be aggressive in the batters box and not clog bases.

I'm pretty sure he said that when he was with the Cubs too. Made me cringe.

That's great. I suppose Loney's RBI totals make him practically a base un-clogger.

[love_that_reefer]

Loney hits a ton of doubles and does hit well with RISP. Just because he isn't the prototypical 1B you're going to cry about it?

Any thread with "we're fucked" in the title gets my attention.

Torre will be missed.

Eh, it's not like the Dodgers were that good anyway.

James Loney doesn't do things a prototypical 1B will do, like hit the ball hard or get on base.

[love_that_reefer]

Loney hits the ball hard, he just doesn't hit it out of the park but your right about his OBP.

I swear you were talking about Sean Casey. Damn it. I was misled

Don Mattingly on Brandon Belt's chemistry crack at Dodgers: "They have the right to talk. They can say whatever they want."

Way to strike back against a member of the hated rivals talking shit about your team, Donnie. Fucking schmuck.

Why can't they make managers like Tommy anymore?

[Foster]

BAHAHAHHAHAHAHA, that's just stupid Don.

[realmofotalk]

And I guaran-fucking-tee you this, when I pitched, and I was going to pitch against a fucking team that had guys on it like Belt, who couldn't hit water if he fell out of a fucking boat, I'd sent a fucking limousine to get the cock sucker to make sure he was in the mother fucking line-up because I'd kick that cock sucker's ass any fucking day of the week. He's a fucking mother fucking big mouth; I'll tell you that.

had fun reading this thread... couldnt help myself when i read the topic of the forum

No one can replace Torre. Who ever has to fill his shoe needs the best of luck.

[realmofotalk]

The Marlins want Mattingly as their next manager. Take him, please. Give me Bud Negro.
