Deadspin
Big ups to Sports By Brooks, which has unearthed a gem of an audio clip: Our pal Tommy Lasorda absolutely freaking out on a radio host for, uh, pointing out that he was sleeping during a baseball game earlier this year.
You really have to just listen to the clip. Go ahead. We'll wait here.
All right, first off, Lasorda is clearly out of his mind (oh, and still really into porn.) Even he has no idea what he's talking about. But along those lines, the victim of his aggression, radio sidekick Mark Willard, sort of betrays himself a bit here too, with his immediate backing down and apologies to the crazy old bat on the other end of his telephone. We mean, Tommy Lasorda is a toddering old man who seems to barely know where he is anymore. No need to apologize: Just wait the man out, and pretty soon he'll start screaming about how he once ate pasta off the left breast of Angie Dickinson. It's Lasorda!
But we don't mean to sound so "smart," and we apologize

Lee Corso thinks Lasorda overreacted.
You can do wondrous things in photshop with that Lasorda pic and the A-Rod stretching pic.
Thanks for the "penne" tag. You've brought great joy to that old Italian stereoype!
He doesn't like sarcasm. I bet he'd love Deadspin.
Douchefucker.
It's been years since I've paid attention to Lasorda. Is he still in denial about his dead son? I remember even after Glenn Burke (?) outed him, Tommy swore up and down that his son wasn't gay and didn't die from AIDS. Thought that was so sad.
Yeah, Lasorda would be pissed if her were still alive.
Every now and then I think I like Tommy Lasorda because he had that great baseball game for the computer... but then I remember that I'm thinking of Tony LaRussa, and I stop caring.
This is NOT going to bode well for the Lasorda's Love campaign
Google image is a great invention:

HEY, TOMMY! ARE YOU JACKIN' ...oh, who gives a shit.
"What the *&#^&" do you think I thought of Kingman's performance?!!"
"I hate my dead gay son."
Autofellatio by 70-year old men is so cute.
Huh? This is your definition of "absolutely freaking out"?
Get out much?
I wonder if Angie Dickinson ever flashed a boob in any of these dumps, presumably Tommy's "favorites"?

Can anyone tell the difference between the show's host and sidekick? They sound like they went to the same Morning Zoo School.
I've said it before, I'll say it again:
Tommy Lasorda is fat.
I thought he handled himself well. He could have had him killed. Maybe. Probably not.
Can anyone prove that's actually Lasorda and not the old guy from Crank Yankers? Or has Big Tommy been moonlighting on Comedy Central?

As mentioned by rsr26:

I think Tommy says "Jesus Christ!" at least half a dozen times.
Not a huge Lasorda fan, either, but I saw this game. After he woke up, he very graciously signed a ball for a kid sitting behind him, and appeared to take some time to talk to the kid and his dad.
He does come off like Old Man Cranky McCranken Puss... Sheesh. Lighten the hell up! You dozed off at a late-season CUBS game. That's comedy gold! Roll with it Tommy! (And I'm a Cubs season ticket holder. Feh.)
Hey, that's Tommy Lasorda! I hate Tommy Lasorda.
-smash-
Just drink 14 slim fasts and eat a whole Fazoli's out of business!!!!
Oh, and steal some porn from the airport. I love you crazy old man!
Every now and then I'm lulled into a false sense of security, where I think I can avoid Tommy Lasorda in my life. Then he comes out and says some batshit-insane craziness about "gettin' smart" and "not appreciating" some such thing, and it snaps me back into my goal in life:
To make sure that everyone I meet knows that Tommy Lasorda is the Devil. I hate that man with more fiery passion than 1,000 burning suns.
But Will should have linked to the clip of Lasorda falling on his fat fucking ass at the All-Star Game. One of the highlights of my life.
Did anyone else notice the plaque in "Bob" Poops link?
Did Lasorda make the Deadspin Hall of Fame? I know Will would never let that happen
Is that picture of the postion Lasorda must assume to talk out of his ass?
Immediately after this call, Tommy got off his chair on the front porch and yelled at some kids to get off his damn yard.
Having a good time at somebody's expense is the only way to have a good time.
That's the first time I've heard Tony Bruno's voice since espn had him killed.
hey, Burger Continental is on his fave restuarant list. I used to go there in college all the time. good cheap burgers, mediterean food. and they never carded when it came to beer. I'm guessing Tommy went there because of the belly dancing.
