I guess I can't argue with the management part. But the Dodgers did step up and trade for Manny. Was it enough? It seems that the whole NL West is one of the weirdest streakiest divisions I have ever seen. Just like last year, who ever gets hot in those last 2 weeks will win.
As far as the Halos go. I do think Scosia is a very good manager. I watched the Halos beat up on the Yanks the last 2 weekends. But the Halo's just have so much talent. There is not one guy in that lineup that can't hurt you. And there pitching is excellent too. They brought in some guy today who I have never even heard of. They are already grooming him to take over when K-Rod departs next year. He had great stuff. They just seem to do everything right.
About the Dodgers, just because you have some talented guys doesn't make you a good team. If you think that they are lazy and happy to be 500 then you definatly have the wrong manager too (which you have been saying all along). Sounds like they need a guy who will light a fire under there asses and not be afraid to step on some toes. But todays game is a game that a good team finds a way to hold on and win. Just a brutal loss.
