Guillermo Mota Gets 100 Games But System Still A Failure

Gack Sports

When you can fail, with all due respect, a nobody,
and let the "MVP' steal the trophy, then you have
failed in a grand and epic way. We will hear how
there are kinks in every system, and that things
just need to be ironed out, but when one player,
who no one will even know is gone gets suspended
because of what he claims is an ingredient in baby
cough medicine, and the other, a "Star" gets off
because of "language" in the handling of the sample,
even though it was very evident that he is guilty
as sin, once again the system has failed.

Face it kids the MLB Players union runs the show,
and though Bud Selig will go to his grave trying
to wrestle away a drop of power away from them,
Ryan Braun will still have walked away with Matt
Kemp's MVP. Ryan Braun will eventually fade away
into obscurity, and inevitably be caught again,
all the while denying, denying, denying he ever
cheated. What a sham.

Dodger or Navy Blue

(Howard Simmons/News)

With the mess the LA Dodgers have been a part
of this year, it's fair to say that no one
really expected anything from them once the
shit hit the fan, but they stilled managed
to succeed at a time when most except their
manager counted them out. Don't let me give
you the wrong idea, they're bot going to the
playoffs or anything like that, but they wont
be embarrassed either, at least not on the
field. As of this writing they are at least
at or above .500 for the season, they have
what many would consider the leader for the
NL CY Young, in Clayton Kershaw who happens
to lead the NL in wins, strikeouts, and ERA,
and they have a potential Triple Crown candidate
in Matt Kemp. They have even managed to secure
a winning record and their seemingly empty
home, Dodger Stadium.

All of this credit I give to one man, a man
who went from Navy Blue to Dodger Blue and from
Donnie Baseball to Dodger Baseball, and may have
just earned some well deserved consideration for
NL Manager of the Year. Don Mattingly may have
Joe Torre to thank for forcing the Dodgers hand
in hiring him, but the Dodgers may have to thank
Torre as well.
