The Dodgers suck. Last year was their second worse since coming to Los Angeles, and what is crazy is that they had just won the NL West the previous year. It’s amazing to think that the McCourts were handed a team that was a contender, and have totally destroyed it. Not only the team, but the organization. There is an interesting article in the L.A. Times today<\/a> in which Tommy Hawkins, a longtime Dodger VP, rips the Dodgers organization. (you might need to register with latimes.com to view the article, but it’s free!) I love the Dodgers, but man, to they suck. The McCourts are awful, and have no concern about any kind of Dodger tradition. It’s all about money. They spend $20million to rip out the seats that they just put in, so that they can charge more. They promise a big team payroll, but don’t spend the money. They don’t keep Ross Porter. They fire the manager, then fire the GM, and hire an SF Giant. And they claim to be “L.A. Baseball”. It’s ridiculous. The McCourts have destroyed the Dodgers. Here’s some choice lines from dodgerblues.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Unless a guy grew up in Echo Park and fantasizes over playing within walking distance from grandma’s house, why would anyone choose to play for the Dodgers (assuming, even, that the Dodgers are willing to spend big money, which they aren’t)? The team is a wreck, the owner is dumb and pompous, and Jeff Kent is surly. Choosing to play for the Dodgers (with what’s been going on lately) would be like walking into a Carrows Restaurant for dinner after seeing people walking out with puke running down their faces.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
