Lasorda Sorts Things Out

Tommy Lasorda still hasn't commented on the Dodgers doings at his own blog, but he pens a piece on the DePodesta firing at Yard Work. He's also has great suggestions for the Dodgers this off season:

This off season is a key off-season for the Dodgers, and it’s important that they go into it with a fresh start and fresh blood. There are plenty of free agents out there that can do right by the glory and greatness of Dodger baseball. That kid in Chicago, Paul Konerko, for instance - he’s a great hitter! I’d sign him for 10 years, though the White Sox would be stupid to let him go. No one can resist the glamour of Los Angeles, though. I’d also sign Johnny Damon, Billy Wagner, Reggie Sanders, Rafael Furcal, Bill Mueller, B.J. Surhoff, Bernie Williams, and former Dodger greats Brian Jordan, Jose Vizcaino, and Lenny Harris. You need veteran leadership and depth up the middle to play LA baseball! Maybe I can get Pedro Guerrero to come out of retirement. He was a great hitter, and smart, too!

I’d also get rid of anyone that DePadsoda signed, because those guys aren’t true Dodgers. Goodbye, J.D. Drew and your brittle bones! Go back to your agent! Goodbye, Jeff Kent and your pickup trucks! Goodbye, Hee Seop Choi and your bad swing! And goodbye to all those awful starting pitcher. You chumps couldn’t hold Don Drysdale’s jock strap’s jock strap! I’d keep Jason Phillips, Ceaesar Iztouriz, and Scott Erickson, because they’re gamers and they play the game right. I’d also talk to Eric Gagne about sucking it up and taking one for the team - you can’t have your best pitcher sitting on the sidelines with an injury while the rest of the team’s out there trying to win a World Series! That’s not how it works!

I didn't know Drysdale' jock strap had a jock strap! :-)

Sign Johnny Damon and Bernie Williams? Hey Tommy, quit bogarting the joint.
Yes Tommy sign a lot of older, over the hill players (sorry Bernie). And really destroy Gagne's arm while at the same time bring into a game a pitcher who isn't able to make his pitches because his arm is messed up.

Wait, is this a joke?

Oh, it's at Yard Work. my bad.

It took a ways into the excerpt to realize this was satire. For a minute he had me believing Tommy still wanted Scott Erickson on the team.

Tommy's not smart enough to pick Scott Erickson to be his fifth starter. Only a "genius" like Depo would have given Erickson so many starts.

'Ceaesar Iztouriz' is spelled:

Cesar Izturis

Nice try, though.
