Grady "Little" Respect

Well how do you like that? And we thought Billy Donovan’s jam job on the Orlando Magic was something. Makes what the Cleveland Browns decided to do with Charlie Frye, as they shipped him off to a third world country in Seattle, seems like child’s play! And this is all compliments from the Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles as they helped Grady Little pack his bags and get out of town faster than a weekly field trip to the No Tell Motel transpires between two happily married adults to engage in extra marital affairs. Oh, wait, I almost forget…It was Little who quit as manager of the Dodgers yesterday, citing "personal reasons." Huh…There’s a surprise! Kind of like when good ole hubby finds out that wifey books room 69 on a weekly basis at No Tell.
So, just a guess here, but would these "reasons" go a little, (sorry about the puns) something like this…"I feel personally insulted that the Dodgers are talking to other managers about taking my job while I'm still sitting right here. I feel like a guy whose wife is throwing her panties at another guy while I'm standing right next to her." Why didn’t the Dodgers just kick his dog while they were at it, or is that part of Torre’s contract? To kick Grady’s dog on the way out of town? Or is the dog kicking rendition going to happen at the press conference?
Man, Grady gets run out of Boston because Pedro Martinez thinks he has enough gas left in the tank to beat the Yanks…Lands up all the way across the country from Torre and still Torre gets him again. Wow…If that’s not having somebody’s number, what is? Although Little says that his resignation has nothing to do with the Dodgers' reported interest in Joe Torre. Of course it doesn’t…Just like paying a surprise visit to room 69 at the No Tell to find your wife trying to land the leading role in White Men Can't Hump…The producer or director, (whatever the hell his job description is) just needed to actually see her qualifications up close and personal. And to this she utters, "It’s not what you think honey!" "I swear!" That has nothing to do either with leaving the future porno star…Yeah, sure it doesn’t! And I’m dating a Playboy Playmate too! Same goes for Los Angeles GM Ned Colletti who uttered that Grady Little would have been back as manager of the Dodgers next year, had he not resigned. Another perfect example of, "I swear!"
So while Little is up a creek without any paddles, Torre’s will be taking Little's seat on the bench in LA next year. The Dodgers, according to George King of the New York Post, have agreed to a three-year, $14.5 million deal with Torre that could be announced at any time. Not putting aside the Dodgers jam job on Little, it's a nice get for the Dodgers. First and foremost, Torre's a big name, (he fits L.A. just fine) and a great manager whose resume speaks for itself. However, more importantly than that, he could help to serve as Alex Rodriguez bait (there's a term that just sounds filthy). The Dodgers, of course, also have the cash to bring in Rodriguez, but the down side would be this. Los Angeles is a hell of a lot further from those Toronto strip clubs than New York is…Which means, Mercedes would be missing her Stray-Rod undearly! On the other hand, it seems as if the Dodgers brass likes to sneak around the No Tell Motel…Being unloyal, unethical, unfaithful, being scumbags and everything else there is to think of.
New York and Los Angeles…The two cites that make this country roll…Two cities which supplies more jobs than any other and here you have three managers, two managerial chairs ...And Grady Little isn't getting one of them. Hey Grady, how does that jam job feel?
