He’s Not a Bad Boy if He’s Not Playing

After watching Tom Lasorda mis-manage the last two games against Cincinnati, I believe I’ve found the reason for the Dodgers’ record this year.

The Lasorda Principles:

1. Never take a starting pitcher out until he has completely lost the game.

2. If you win a few games, shake up the lineup.

3. Always play the players you’re paying the highest salaries, not those playing well.
