Once left for dead by luminaries such as SHARK, the Dodgers are now in 1st place. They've gone 25-6 in the last 31 games, their best such stretch in 55 years. No more hot seat for Donny Baseball. |

I kept waiting to make the Don Mattingly shout out thread. First I waited for .500, then for first place, then I needed a little bit of a lead Peeps beat me to it. Humbly request a mention of Donny Baseball in the thread title |

The GM is a Chicago guy who went to Triton college. He used to work for the Cubs. |

He gave Harry and Steve every stat they tossed out on the air. Colletti should be thankful the Cubs were so cheap, gave him the chance to negotiate deals and get into the deal flow process around MLB, which is how you move from Media relations to baseball operations. While many gave him shit for just spending money, he does get credit if they win, because plenty of guys have just spent money. LA ANGELS, T BLUEJAYS, ETc and didnt do crapola |

While he was buying at a fire sale, he bought what a lot of GMs would not touch no matter the price. Since Theo signed all those contracts, the Dodgers are really his team. |

No more hot seat for Donny Baseball. TP, Don Mattingly was thisclose to getting fired following a rotten Dodgers' start. He can thank rookie RF Yasiel Puig for a lot of the Dodgers' turnaround. Puig saved Mattingly's job as manager. |

They've accomplished those impressive numbers without Matt Kemp, who has stepped to the plate only 41 times during that streak. Understandably, rookie Yasiel Puig has been unable to keep up his historic start. His batting average dropped nearly 70 points, and he's collected only eight RBI since July 1. So that begs the question: Can the Dodgers keep this hot streak going without major contributions from two of their biggest offensive weapons? The answer is a resounding yes. The Dodgers' hot streak doesn't go back only 36 games—it goes back toward the end of May when manager Don Mattingly lost his cool and nearly lost his job. Donnie Baseball was irate after the Dodgers lost to the Milwaukee Brewers 5-2 on May 21, ripping into management and players in a passionate postgame tirade to reporters. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1725 ... ooling-off |

There has to be a mixture of competitiveness,'' Mattingly said. "It's not, "Let's put an All-Star team together and the All-Star team wins.'"It's finding that balance of a team that has a little bit of grit and will fight you. And also having the talent to go with it."All grit and no talent isn't going to make you successful. But all talent and no grit isn't going to get you there either.''To make his point, loud and clear, Mattingly benched All-Star right fielder Andre Ethier.Either, who signed a five-year, $85 million contract extension last June, has just four homers and 15 RBI. His .405 slugging percentage would rank the lowest for a full season in his career."There's a touch difference between, "I'm giving you best effort," Mattingly said, "and being willing to fight you for that prize, to do whatever it takes to win. It's almost something inside you that says, "You're not beating me today. You're not getting me out.'"There's another level you can't measure with sabermetrics. They may say, "B.S.'' to that, but there are certain things you can't measure.'' Poetry |

Heard during the Cubs game that Puig was fined and benched tonight for showing up a half hour late before today's game due to traffic in Miami. Also heard he has similar problems to Castro with mental lapses. Kids these days. Mattingly is going to have his hands full with this. |

2013 NL West Division Champs And they evidently pissed off the Diamondbacks by celebrating in their pool. I can kinda see their point, but on the flip side don't be a shitty team and make the playoffs so you can celebrate. |
