MLB.com – LOS ANGELES — Don Mattingly will manage the Dodgers in 2011 and Joe Torre has stepped aside to determine his future plans, the Dodgers announced on Friday. Torre, the fifth-winningest manager in Major League history, is in the final year of a three-year contract. Mattingly has been the Dodgers’ hitting coach since the 2008 All-Star break. Mattingly, Torre and Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti will be present at a 5 p.m. PT news conference to be held at Dodger Stadium on Friday.
Well, it looks like Don Mattingly will be the new skipper for the Los Angeles Dodgers for next season. I don’t know if that is a good or bad thing. I know Mattingly was a helluva 1st baseman for the New York Yankees back in the day, but I don’t know if he ever won a World Series. I’m going out on a limb and saying he didn’t…which begs the question…why the hell are we getting a loser manager? I can’t believe he was with the Yankees all those years and could never win the big one…so why the hell would I think he’s going to bring a World Championship to the Dodgers? The McCords need to get their heads out of their collective asses!
Cue Mattingly getting run out of Los Angeles in the next 5 years. I hope he wins one though….as much as a loser as he is, I do respect him as a ballplayer. If he brings back his trademark mustache then I take back everything I’ve ever said bad about him.
