Would you fire Don Mattingly if the Dodgers don't make it to the world series?
...or the next year? Such a large payroll with top pitchers, veterans, and strong line up. How could you lose to the Cardinals using your best starters? What would you do?

He doesn't swing the bats or throw the pitches you can lead a horse to water and he may not drink you can't fire a guy for the team winning a playoff series and coming up lame in 2 games on the road wacha has been outstanding his past 3 starts. Team had one of the best 2nd halves in history and your talking about firing a guy for his players not hitting in 2 games.. This is comical and un fukin believable all togetherComment -
You do realize the Cardinals had the best record throughout the season and this is the time of year the cardinals players know how to get it done right? Do you even watch baseball?Comment -
yes, he will be gone.
he is currently a laughing stock because of his boneheaded moves like starting kershaw on 3 days rest and removing gonzo in the 8th.Comment -
He might, his in game moves and the Kershaw thing are really questionable. Maybe the 3 day rest thing can be overlooked, but taking gonzo out with the game on the line for your speed guy, then not even going for the stolen bag
And yeah your post is ignorant..."how could you lose to the cardinals?". Cmon j they're not the fukkin whitesox here lolComment -
Obviously no. I don't think someone should be fired for losing 2 games on the road to a proven world series team. They turned their season in a total 180. From last to first. Won the division series with ease against a team with the 3rd best record in baseball and then laid 2 eggs on the road to the team with the best record. Not to mention the games were 1-0 and 3-2 in 13 innings. Managers will be ridiculed no matter what the decision is if it doesn't pan out. If it does, you'd be first on your knees ready to suck mattingly off and give him a contract
GTFO with this threadComment -
Nothing says late 80s and early 90s like M.C. Hammer pants. Unimaginable that people wore them. There is a difference between M.C. Hammer pants and parachute pants before M.C. Hammer. M.C. Hammer pants made you look like you were wearing an apron that matched your pants.Comment -
I'm 99.99% sure you tried to read it, odds are a lot worse that you could comprehend it. You just know your fukkin buried. I rest my case. PeaceComment -
The dodger organization thinks he is a terrible manager and they're trying to figure out a way to fire him they don't want him as a manager in LAComment -
Never got a contract extension. All u need to knowComment -
Minnesota embarrassing Jmobile in this thread.
J......worry more about your shitbox team kid.Comment -
LOL. GTFO
You take everything the wrong way. I'm actually disappointed in Donny baseball. But if you want to lower your standards and not answer the question, then that's fine. I thought we were past the whole "I hate dodgers" thing when in fact you could have said things Don can improved. You're better than that.

Please go.....Comment -
Went from not making the playoffs to at least the NLCS. Why would u fire him?Comment -
Payroll over 200 million and all you can do is beat the Braves in the first round....
Comment -
Do you understand baseball? It's a game of streaks. Of course it's amplified in the playoffs that the Dodgers have lost TWO straight games and on the road. 2 losses ago they looked unbeatable.
if they win 2 straight at home now you will sing a different tune.Comment -
The fact the dodgers haven't picked up his option yet at this point in the season I think let's u know how management feels about the guy... Unless the dodgers make the world series than no I don't think mattingly will be back next seasonComment -
Never engage an idiot in arguments, he'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.Comment -
no. all star kemp is out. and rameriz was out game 2. he does have some injuries. i did not like the b2b on kershaw.Comment -
No
Trade Matt Kemp for an arm-that's right, I said it!
Comment -
Donny, why is the score 9-0 Cards in Game 6 during the 6th inning?Comment -
zero chance he gets the axe but he could stay on the hot seat as long as he's aroundComment -
Upper management wants him gone he's a real idiot although the players might like him so he could stayComment -
Why would he get canned? They lost to the better team.Comment -
Still pretty great what the did after June though after finally getting things going. Prior to getting Puig they had been a laughingstock on offense going back to the Sox trade last year. He gave them some motivation or something I think. Cannot forget how banged up they were as well. Kemp hardly gets mentioned then you have Kelly being a punk and throwing at Hanley who just happens to be there best hitter and fukking him up for the series. Sure they will make a couple splash moves in off season and '14 should be interesting for LA.Comment -
he's not getting fired.Comment -
Some reading material for all the non believers
Comment -
Can't believe he's made it this long since this thread started 2 years ago. Never thought he was an MLB manager since he got promoted. Only got the job because he was Torre's boy.Comment -
Yes he should have been fired last season and should have gone for Madden ...look what he is doing with the CubsComment -
He was a loser as a player..horrific clutch player and it carried into coachingComment -
Something to keep in mind, he led an expensive line-up as victims to a no-hitter against Astros pitching. They've giving Donny the best line-up and pitching staff in the league. What else do you want?Comment -
And another no-hitter against Donny-baseball. This time at home.
