Coletti is the first one I would fire when it comes time to replace, repair and dismantle the dummies in their organization…Why wiat do it now or they will come up with more brilliant excuses that the ownership plants…no money, we are drained, but, there is huge home that we want to buy, only costs $78 million, great for entertaining!! Ha And so go the Dodgers, to bad Joe Torre is cauught up in that mess, he is to good to be worked over like that….We love you Joe!!!

CBS sees it differently:
It’s that when the Phillies got Lee from the Indians on July 29, the Dodgers were trying to get him, too. And if there were a team that needed a pitcher like Lee more than the Phillies did, it was the Dodgers.
“And that’s why we tried,” general manager Ned Colletti said.
The way Colletti tells it, the Dodgers tried very hard. Colletti didn’t come right out and say he thought the Dodgers had offered more for Lee than the Phillies did, but he was willing to say they offered a lot.

This year, Kuroda a disaster in Game 3
“We offered four guys,” he said. “We were choking on the third guy, and we went to the fourth [too].”
