Tommy Lasorda Cares Not For Your Effing Incompetence

This video — apparently taken circa 1990 — of Tommy Lasorda being irascible and flipping out on a camera crew was posted to YouTube yesterday and shared by VinScullyIsMyHomeboy.com.

Here is a transcription of Lasorda’s tirade — in verse form, of course:

(We’re ready).

I gotta get ready now.
I gotta get

2. Tommy Lasorda has looked the same age for the last 30 years, at least. It wasn’t so great for him when he looked 75 at the age of 60, but now that he’s 84, I guess it’s not half bad.

3. I think this has some meme potential:
