V Power

If read one story this millennium about a Russian with healing powers the Dodgers paid several hundreds of thousands of dollars to channel positive energy their way, make it this one, by the LA Times' Bill Shaikin. The worst part, in my book? The implication that Mr. Vladmir Shpunt's heightened awareness of things might have influenced the decision to ax general manager Paul DePodesta and manager Jim Tracy. That or the part where the Dodgers commissioned Shpunt to fix Jayson Werth. Yeah, one of those two. Or maybe the part where this Shpunt fellow has used the Dodgers' success to embark on a career of helping athletes through healing touch and positive juju transmission.

Strange all around. For everyone's sake, the Dodgers had better make a Godfather offer to Zach Lee. Each new  revelation of frivolous spending paints the depressed player budget a darker shade of black.

  1. If it helped with the firing of Depo, I say it's money very well spent.

  2. Forgot to add this:

    "'Your general manager destroyed last year's team,' the e-mail read, 'and put together a group of players that could not be a team and could not win.'"

    Well, gee, It doesn't take psychic ability to see that.

  12. Everyone should just get elgg and build their own social site at home. It isn't that hard. Then no more security or privacy problems. Your server your site. That is what the internet was supposed to be anyway. When it was originally invented. Long before Gore fouled it up.
