And as the Dodgers Sink Quickly in the West . . .

Like most Dodger fans, I have my opinion as to what should be done to turn the team around. First, I’d fire Fred Claire, who has managed to put together the most pathetically talent-limited team I’ve seen in a long time.

We have a bullpen that is overrated with no stopper; no team speed; no defense; only a couple of players who can hit for average; and players who seem to think you go on the disabled list whether you run into a wall or a friend. It’s sad to think this is the best the general manager can do.

Next, I’d tell Darryl to shut up. Who cares what he thinks?
