McCourt is the pour mans Steinbrenner, literally and figuratively...
I'm so disgraced right now, I've removed my Dodgers Avatar.
I've never been this upset at our organization for this pathetic display & thinking.
Lasorda is partly to blame, that backstabbing SOB. DePodesta was given less than 24 months to institute his plan - inside of 5 years.
I'm ashamed. There is no other way to put it. Ashamed sums up my feelings perfectly.
We are a joke and now have zero credibility. I was willing to follow DePodesta down his path - willing to try and see his point of views. And honestly - I was really beginning to agree.
He finally had his own shot at hiring a manager that could jive with his thinking. Yet Frank McCourt, who less then 2 weeks ago said DePo was still the GM without any questions, goes behind his back and fires his GM because he was planning on hiring a manager which didn't "look good to the fans".
I'm just speechless...there's no excuse, no explanation...
"The GM and manager must exist on the same level. We are confident that finding the right manager will allow the organization to excel on and off the field."
The GM chooses his manager. Not the other way around. The owner doesn't find his manager, then hire a GM with no experience on the board.
If Orel Hershisher is the Dodgers new GM with Bobby Valentine as the new manager.....don't know what to say. Let's just make McCourt the Manager and his wife can be the GM. They've already fired 1/2 off of the staff whose been on the team for years on end...and replaced them with a PR firm, and their two sons.
