tommy lasorda part II.

[LavaLampBlob]

"That long enough for ya, Jim?" said by a reporter is almost certainly a reference to Jim Healy, who had a sports radio show in LA and used to play tapes of Lasorda's other tirades. The reporters in the room obviously knew they were hearing the next tirade to go on Healy's show.

[davethemathnerd]

Towards the end there's a reference to the Dave Kingman tirade. The reporter says "What was your opinion..." and Lasorda says "Get the **** out of Joe". Funny stuff.

[streetwhereulive]

I wonder how Lasorda really felt?

[joraider08]

Boy do the Dodgers need this man today...Miss you Tommy..

[Wehategod]

HE is my Hero Tommy Lasorda Dodger Blue Through and Through

[davidgee100]

Lasorda said nothing, really, and he knew it. They couldn't print any of that and they knew it.

[foppa123]

we Philly boys speak our minds

[80sStickBall]

Uhhh, he did have a heart attack in 1996. That's why he stopped managing.

I think the c---sucker thing was kind of like how "douchebag" is the chosen putdown of today's society. Once it enters the venacular, it gets overused. Not til the 70s were gay putdowns used. Even during heated moments, attacking a guy's sexuality was trouble. Fag, dick milker, ass pirate, ball muncher, etc were heavy duty. Lasorda mostly stuck to F-bombs.

[tommygu444]

I totally understand where Joe Pesci gets the motivation for his angry Italian characters

[romavictora]

damn str8 Tommy !! Baseball needs this too !

[phillyeaglesphan]

why is it that every one of these baseball tirades (Lee Elia, Earl Weaver, Goose Gossage) uses the word c***suckers with such frequency??

[ejb4501]

Jeez, I just love Tommy more and more...

[1000diesel]

"Put that in your paper TJ!"

He's talking to TJ Simers from the LA Times. hahaha. So funny.

[tlp26atx]

he needs to settle down. he's to old and fat to be this angry. geeze, heartattack waiting to happen

[daGr8Satan]

Hey tip26atx. He's 81 years old now. Still waiting for the heart attack I guess. If you have to wait 81 years for your first heart attack consider yourself lucky. Judging by the reporters laughter I don't think he is being totally serious. He's just having a little fun.

[slammer58]

Put it in the mother----- paper, I don't give a s--- lol

[LavaLampBlob]

"The Nose" was the pen name for a columnist in the New York Daily News. When the Dodgers played the Yankees in the series (late 70's), The Nose ridiculed Lasorda in his column for basically being too gay by jumping up and down on the field when the Dodgers won, etc. The first part of this clip is Lasorda's response.

The 2nd part is the tail end of a diatribe after a game that the Dodgers lost because the other pitcher had no control but the Dodgers kept swinging at bad pitches anyway.

[robertnu07]

them cocksuckers.....them Mother....fuckers!

[herbbeve]

tommy lasorda is the best manager in history!

[ectigers83]

One the greatest Managers ever! Brooklyn would have loved him IF the Dodgers stayed. I wish I could find the video when he went crazy over a star actor who was on in the dug out during an All-Star game. He went ape shit!

[biglu323]

LOL Tommy's the best. This audio reminds me of that time he lost it and hit Philly's mascot.

[TheGreekMystique]

aaaaaaaaaahahahaha

[sunra67]

who the fuck is the nose?

[Dibrini]

Why didn't he talk about those Weight Watchers meals like this?

[MissyMels]

I love this man!

[deric8]

Happy 80th Birthday Tommy!

[VolumedMusicMan]

Get the @$@## out of here Joe! Hilarious!!!!

[museumbone]

somebody needs to post the clip from the all-star game when he went ass over tit on a foul ball. that was the funniest thing ever associated with Lasorda.

[thunderstruck665]

Lasorda's great! He's the most loveable bachagaloop on the planet!

[robbieX97]

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LMAO

[nbvs63]

Tommy used to manage here in Albuquerqe in the minors before he went to the LA Dodgers in the majors. All the games I saw him coach here.. if my mom only knew....LOL

[dmarto1]

My ears are burning!! Holy shit, was a tirade!! Tommy Lasorda weaves a string of profanity that is almost poetic. Just beautiful!

[aluisious]

LoL

"Get the fuck out of here."

"I'm serious..."

"So am I, get the fuck out of here, I don't wanna fuckin' talk to ya."

[slapshot254]

epic and poetic all at the same time. truly classic.
