Except Joe Maddon is almost certainly going to the Dodgers regardless of anything else that happens, so maybe let's feel it out before we go firing people.

I'm not as much anti-Ausmus as much as I am anti-Dombrowski.. he knew we needed a bullpen in 2013..

So he signed the best closer available last year and the best reliever available at the deadline.... How was he to know they were going to magically start sucking hot garbage?

Because he runs a sports franchise in Detroit, and that's what happens to good players who end up in Detroit.

Haha... So he should have signed shitty players? Well, he did get Joba. So there was that.

I don't follow baseball and I pretty much just make sweeping allegations that really don't have much basis in reality. I just throw shit at a wall and see what sticks. Except for when I'm picking games.

In a Jew York minute.

Dombrowski had a pretty bad year. Still have to give him major props for the Fielder trade.

And yes, get Maddon.
