Don't Tell Tommy!

(Dodger Legend Tommy Lasorda was speaking at the Pasadena Art Fest about youth sports when urgent messages went between his handlers)

Rick: Uh oh...look at this text.  
Tina: 4-1?  We lost?
Rick: Yes, we lost all games against the Athletics.
Tina: Well, Tommy can't find out about this.  Remember, the doc said--
Rick: I know, I know.  But he wanted to hear the final score.
Tina: Tell him there's a rain out.
Rick: OK, but we'd better hurry, he's taking questions.  Oh no!

Reporter: Mr. Lasorda, any thoughts on the Dodgers anemic performance in Oakland?  In 3 losses, only 2 runs, and--

You mean to tell me that horseshit team SWEPT US?!  TWO GODDAMN RUNS?!  Where are those two...Rick and Tia?  Why the hell couldn't YOU TELL ME THIS?  I need to start making calls P-R-O-N-T-O. 

Reporter: Tommy, I didn't mean-

We got my protege this weekend...if we're comin' in like that...that's a nice fuckin' start to the weekend.

Tina: Tommy, remember your blood pressure.

Fine.  I won't get up.  Somebody GET ME one of my award winning wines.  I'll put Donny Yankees on speaker just so everyone here can listen.

(Mr. Lasorda was then told he would be "more comfortable" backstage)
