is that moronii? Moroni is that Mormon cult’s favorite angel and all, so you’ve got to toss the second i in to avoid confusion and angry mobs of hidden underwear-wearing polygamist cultists at your door. Or maybe not. Fuck it, it’s moroni as the plural for “moron” now. Bring it on, bitches.

Where was I? Oh yes, the Dodgers fired Paul DePodesta, who is pretty much the ideal old school/new school GM out there. If I were an owner, I would have had an offer on the table for him within 30 minutes of the news breaking. Or 1 minute if I was forewarned.

Essentially, DePo was undone by injuries to his team and a poisonous LA media that couldn’t stand the out of towner. Ignorant pigfuckers that they are, sports journalists tend to like people who are nice to them and take them out for steak dinner and give them easy homilies and cliches to regurgitate as inside wisdom. DePo might have dined them, but he was his own guy, and in Chavez ravine that’s a death sentence these days.

But back to the cluelessness of the Dodger managment. Here’s their offseason plan (coming off of a 71-91 season): 1) fire the PR people; 2) fire the manager (this one was justified, if only for his handling of Hee Seop Choi); 3) wait three weeks; 4) fire the GM.

Idiots.

So, M’s, somebody… call this guy. He’s a good GM.
