To all of the baseball followers on the market who’re wringing their arms and proclaiming doom for MLB as a result of the Dodgers have been flexing their monetary muscle, I say PHOOEY!
It’s simply not that way back that He Who Shall Stay Anonymous (Frank McCourt) was driving the Dodgers like a 1982 Isuzu pickup as an alternative of the Corvette they need to be. Regardless of yearly main the league in attendance, we by no means obtained any high-profile free agent.
So now we lastly have an possession group that may not solely afford to discipline an awesome workforce, however can afford to tune it up correctly. In case your workforce can’t hold tempo, go complain to YOUR proprietor.

I’d moderately have a good enjoying discipline. I’d additionally like to have the ability to afford to go to a recreation. The 1988 Dodgers had been a scrappy bunch and apart from Don Sutton (and Tommy Lasorda), there have been no future Corridor of Famers. What that they had was workforce synergy. To me, that’s extra vital and admittedly, extra enjoyable to observe.

It seems that the Dodgers have change into a one-team oligarchy in Main League Baseball, its gamers and entrance workplace drunk with cash and energy, their followers gloating in a type of exultant cult trance, actually a mirrored image of America right now. I shall root towards them with nice ardour.

With all of the latest signings of pitchers these previous few weeks, it seems that the IL record shall be longer than the energetic roster.

Bear in mind Wimpy from the Popeye cartoons? “I’ll gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today.” That’s the Dodgers’ strategy to participant contracts nowadays.
