MLB '10 - Page 17

Ha! Fear the Nats (next season perhaps). Apparently we signed some guy that actually knows how to hit a baseball. It's quite the novel concept for this team.

Well, at least there is something to be happy about right now:

Vin Scully and baseball: He loves it too much to leave it
The broadcaster announces he will return for his 62nd season with the Dodgers. 'I found when push came to shove, I just did not want to leave,' the 82-year-old Hall of Famer says.

Quote:

So Scully will be back next year for his 62nd season with the Dodgers. He announced Sunday morning that he will continue to call their home games, as well as road games against National League West opponents.

The rest of the story.

As an indicator of how bad the season is, Susan just sent me this IM:

The Dodgers aren't losing yet
of course, the game hasn't started yet

Huh? What season?

If Torii Hunter gets in trouble for wagering that Hideki Matsui wouldn't hit a triple this season, shouldn't MLB follow through and invalidate all of the performance bonus clauses in players' contracts?

No surprise there. Mattingly was ready to walk away from the Dodgers before this season to take a manager job, when he stayed I figured it could only mean that Torre had promised him he'd hand the team over after this season.

Bummer for Torre to end on this stinker of a season.

Considering the miraculous work Mattingly has done with our hitters this season, I'm sure he'll be just spiffy as a manager (with no experience.) Meanwhile, as an added bonus, we'll probably lose Tim Wallach just like we lost Scioscia.

I did quite enjoy hearing that Peter O'Malley came out of the woodwork to rip the McCourts a new one today in the press. I miss him.

We had been doing so well, especially after the Fox nightmare.

Matthew and I got to say hello to Tommy Lasorda at the game last night. We were waiting for an elevator and, when the door opened, he was standing right in front of me. Flustered, I managed to spit out "Hi Tommy!" and he smiled and said hi to both of us, then was quickly on his way. Turned out, he was headed to the field to be honored in a ceremony.

Absolutely the highlight of an otherwise forgettable season.
