Dodgers should be called the Panzers with the way they're tanking.

There needs to be an eject button in MLB. When an ownership group is failing (looking at you Oakland) the owner should be forced to sell.

What's the problem? McCourt is a bad owner so I'm sure something is up but what are they mad about? Ticket prices? Lack of transfers?

They're in 10th place. Yes they are doing bad. Monaco embarrassed them 6-1.

If that is it, I can't get behind the protest. Monaco is a great team, and it's idiotic to panic over an extremely small sample size that isn't too far off from traditional results (usually 4th or 5th).

I do think he's better than the last owner, but that's not difficult. It isn't just the Monaco result though.

10th after 5 games, and they started 2 wins 1 tie.

Not sticking up for the guy, but they could be 0 wins 5 losses 0 ties.

Marseille fans living in the past, Didier Deschamps ain't walking thru that door.

I get your point. I didn't downvote you btw. But I don't think they're cracking Europe this season and that was the goal. They had a swing and a miss on signing both Jovetic and Bacca. I don't trust a club built around Payet (brilliant then disappears).

No one wants Deschamps walking through that door. He's hated as the manager of the French NT.

he was basically world class for 365 days, randomly at the age of 28.

Like if Luis Gonzales never took steroids and posted his home runs numbers.

Yep his peak was very good, but so short.

Luiz Gonzales was still good at baseball otherwise.

Brady Anderson is a better comparison.

Jonathan Cheechoo's 50 goal NHL season is another decent comparison.

He's been good in France for several years but certainly not worthy of starting on their national team. He just played out of his mind for an important stretch that coincided with his country hosting the Euros.
