Be Frank And Look In The Mirror, Dude

So Matt Kemp is the problem? Who knew.
Dodger GM Ned Colletti picked the wrong guy to blame for the Dodgers’ woes in his misguided remarks yesterday after the Mets swept the Dodgers. Colletti told KABC’s Peter Tilden: “Some guys, I guess, think that they’re better than they are. They think the opposition’s just going to roll over and get beat by them. That obviously doesn’t happen. The baserunning’s below average. The defense is below average. Why is it? Because he got a new deal? I can’t tell you.”
Kemp has been the Dodgers’ best player this season. He occasionally has lapses, but he continues to be among the NL leaders in hitting. How many home runs does James Loney have?
Pitching has been one of the Dodgers’ biggest problem, but you won’t hear Colletti (or Joe Torre for that matter) criticize Chad Billingsley, George Sherrill, Charlie Haeger or Vincente Padilla or any of the cheap thrills (Russ Ortiz, Eric Gagne, etc.) Colletti signed during the offseason.
Seriously Ned, the Dodgers suck because of you and Frank McCourt. And as long as McCourt owns the club, they’ll continue to suck.
Don’t want Kemp? Trade him. I’m sure almost any team in baseball will find a spot for him.
