Quick, Grant - call up Ginats Brazss and make it happen!

Didn't see this posted anywhere - but this may come in handy over the next week. LOL at Boras clients in bold.

Well, there goes next season. If anybody thought we'd get a different Sabean after the contract extension, they were wrong.

Sigh.

This might not be of interest to everyone, but this man was one of my best and most favorite professors, and he used his last years to raise awareness for ALS, enlisting the help of MLB this past season - Game 5 of the World Series was dedicated in part to him.

You'll be missed, Professor Goldsmith.

Maybe it's my continued self-denial that we're still looking at Sabean and Bochy in charge of this team for a couple years, but for some reason I enjoyed this article.

In particular:

Firing Carney Lansford last week was a great move. With this team and its guiding offensive philosophy, there is no point in having a hitting coach. All a hitting coach can do is clutter up the hitters' minds with unnecessary thoughts, like, well, thoughts.

Lansford should have been fired two years ago when it became clear he was going to be a big buttinsky.

The fellow who collected all those free-swinging, non-thinking hitters in one clubhouse, and the fellow who gave those free-swingers license to swing freely - both those fellows were given two-year contract extensions.

This was a bit depressing. Who knew it would be Pablo with the most walks. And although it's not unexpected that most other players would have more, it's sad that every single regular player on the Dodgers have more BBs than our lead walking guy.

And I'm just going to ignore the bit comparing the Rockies' and Giants' records since the sweep. It makes me cry.

I feel a little sorry for Lansford. And some of the hitters need to be kicked in the groin.
