Many Go; Few Understand

Friday, May 20, 2005 Tommy Lasorda would make a great ambassador for baseball --- if he had a surgery that forever sewed his moth shut.

Lasorda on greenies:

I played and managed a lot of years," Lasorda said. "Nothing wrong with a long season. I wish we could have played all year round. How the hell could they get tired doing something they love to do? A guy plays center field, he jogs out there nine times and he jogs back nine times. He goes to bat four times, maybe gets on one time. What the hell's so tiring about that? How can anybody tell you that they're tired playing this game. It's a joke."

Tommy, you didn't play "a lot of years." You played 26 games in the majors over the course of your career.  You wish you could play all year long? Hell, you wished you could play twenty games in a season, but your talent level didn't allow you to do that. The only thing you know about the rigors playing in a 162 game season is that you never did it. Your fat ass used to fall alseep in the dugout when you were managing. You whored yourself to a diet company, and you want to lecture players about self restraint?  Perhaps players should just put healthy things in their body like Slimfast.
