    Olden: Can you give us just a few basic comments about your feelings on the game?

    Lasorda: Well, naturally, I feel bad about losing a ballgame like that. There's no way you should lose that ballgame. But, uh, it just doesn't make sense.

    Olden: What's your opinion of Kingman's performance?

    I mean, that's a tough question to ask me, isn't it, what is my opinion of his performance?

    Olden: Yes it is. I asked it, and you gave me an answer.

    Lasorda: Well, I didn't give you a good answer 'cause I'm mad.

    Olden: That wasn't a good question.

    Lasorda: That's a tough question to ask me right now, what is my opinion. I mean, you want me to tell my opinion of his performance . . .

    Olden: You just did.

    Lasorda: That's right. Bleep. Guy hits three home runs against us. Bleep.
