    What a joke for the money they're paying guys like McCarthy, Crawford & Eithier.

    ...Mattingly will probably lose his job over this loss.

    Saw an ESPN Article on Mattingly last week and how he'd be Jeffery Lorias pick to manage the Marlins. Could happen.

    In watching Hinch and Bannister who stood up like men and defended their actions well, Donnie seemed like one who was proffering lame explanations. I do feel for Mattingly, great Yankee Player and I always thought he should not have followed Torre out to LA. I wish the man only the best and hope where ever he lands he'll excel.

    The best play of the night was the dopey Dodgers not realizing that when you put on the shift you need to make sure somebody gets back to third base once the player walks. Murphy taking third while the Dodgers day dreamed was classic.

    ...fwiw, all the talk this morning seems to be about the "heads up play by Murphy"...yeah, he took a free base but the Dodgers simply gave it to him...everything I've seen and heard leads me to believe that Grienke was supposed to cover 3B on that play.

    Just a bonehead play, the'll probably blame Mattingly for that also.

    It was a walk not a batted ball so to me the third baseman has all the time in the world to make sure he starts heading back to his position.

    ...but on that play, the way they over shifted, the SS was actually much closer to 3B than the 3Bman because the 3Bman is playing where the 2B normally is...plus, if you look at the replay, Kendricks clearly alerted Grienke to the fact that the shift would be implemented and clearly pointed to 3B...and Grienke even nodded in acknowledgment.

    ...but yeah, there's plenty of blame to go around...everyone was just standing around after the walk.

    Yeah- and Donnie the genius may have lost this series in game one when he yanked Kershaw score tied 1-1, 7th inn, 2 out and bases loaded with Wright due up- reliever Baez promptly served up a two out two run single- 3-1 Mets, game over. Mattingly pushed the wrong button, again.
    I know a MGR needs "good players" to succeed, but there are plenty enough choices, matchups, decisions and gut checks where MGRs become the ultimate difference maker in the outcome directly as a result of his in-game "moves".

    A couple of things I noted in todays articles. First Rob Lowe Tweeting or Twooting or what ever they call it that Mattingly should be fired. Who the fuck is Lowe, a little puke who played Drew Peterson wife killer on a Lifetime Movie. A real Stage and Screen Stunner. Then Eithier going off on Mattingly, spoiled little guppy, never could be the player that Donnie was.

    ...Eithier is grossly over paid and over rated...and should be replaced if possible...Puig will likely be gone too...same with Grienke.

    ...as far as Lowe, his biggest claim to fame was getting busted by video tape for being with 2 under aged girls in a hotel room.

    That blow up between him and Ethier during the game isn't going to do him any favors. As for the Kershaw move I've always thought that you let the other team beat your best. If I had a Kershaw I'd rather lose with him. Actually, I should say I'd rather the Mets try and beat him. They will fall back on the Kershaw and seventh innings struggles history but this is the playoffs and he's your best. Let him go after Wright. As for players, like I said when I see the amount of money spent I just cannot believe the lack of offense the Dodgers have on their roster. If you put them side by side I would take the Mets roster over LA everyday of the week.

    And last nights hero 2nd baseman Daniel Murphy is a free agent that is not expected to be resigned by the Mets ($8M this past season) I've no doubt some team will give him a decent contract.

    I was going to mention the same incident(s)........Lowe's name was shit for a decade, and could not buy a job. Now look at the ass, he's got his own show, I'm sure will Flounder like Lowe's life in acting.......

    I am honestly shocked there wasn't a riot. LA's Bums Fans, have been pissed off for 2 yrs now, ever since TWB-C bought the rights to TV
    TWB-C has only 30% of the Los Angeles TV Market, which means approximately 70% of 20 Million Viewers, Can NOT see a Bums game.

    (Several Surveys of 100s of thousands of Angelino's) as well as Time Warner Bros Cable's numbers of Homes that don't get TWB-C,) reveal the vast majority of Southern Californian's can't see a Bums game if they wanted to, in person or on TV. Which has led to 2 long lengthy court battles; "Citizens of L.A. and L.A. County vs TWB-C."

    the rest of the Nation is getting screwed too, since no other station can broadcast. Tho' TWB has loosened the reigns a tiny bit, allowing 2-3 games to be televised via MLB-TV, ESPN, and Fox Sports. It's clearly not enough on TWB's part......

    So yes, most So. Cal Fans are besides themselves, while the ticket prices climbed 140% this year alone. The Bums Ownership will be the demise of this team, perhaps in time they will win a Series, but they're losing Fans faster than an X-15 Flies.......!!! Even tho' the Stadium is usually sold out or packed with Fans, were not seeing the underlying bleeding, and its not Dodger Blue........


    Leaving Millions of Bums Fans without a single Bums game on TV.

    I agree, I'd give Ref a shot. It's beyond time, the Yanx Farm System develops and signs good talent, and grow a Team from within, with an occassional FA, to round things off.

    Seems this is the year of the Rookies or Top Prospects:
    Bird
    Severino
    Judge in the wings

    Just to name a few

    Gallo
    Bryant
    Soler
    Baez
    A. Russell
    Schwarber
    Conforto
    Syndergaard
    Matz
    Plawecki
    McCullers
    Jung Ho Kang
    Pederson
    Seager
    Guerrero
    Correa
    Velasquez
    Piscotty
    Chi Chi Gonzalez
    Estrada
    Osuna


    and a helluva lot more that weren't in PS play......
