Yes, it is very farging hilarious. :'( At least David Ross is gone. The first move DePodesta and I agree with. 8)
He's a straight fastball hitter who can't play defense. Have fun.
At least you said 'hitter'....Ross couldn't hit a wet papertowel with a used tampon. :paranoid

Don't worry, Ricky will be a Phillie on August 1st. Wade will trade Gavin Floyd for him. Watch.
Valentin sucks. ;)
Valentin does suck and will be replaced within a month or so.
Ledee is a backup, which all you Phillies fans were proud to have as a backup but now are baggin on the Dodgers for the same thing. The only reason Ledee is starting right now is due to injuries.
Going on record right now: I've always liked Ledee.
FARG LA! :flipoff
I like Ledee, too. He just isn't a starter.
0-1
Horrific defense by valentin....on opening day...against Schmidt....against the Giants....at the Giants........way to farg up, sucko!

Here's a news flash for Dodger fans: the Dodgers are blood sucking, greedy heartless pigs with no class. (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05087/478631.stm)
Holy shtein! $120K? :o
$30K per seat for a season?
Damn.
Makes the Flyers look cheap.
Dio: 'blah, blah, blah'....hey, as Dodgers fans, we've all been farged in more ways than one with this new regime...they are lucky we're 4-1 right now...which has kept the dogs off of them.....but there's no excuse for not signing Beltre and getting suck ass Drew.
Yeah, I feel for that guy...hell...if it was up to me...ball parks would be smaller....and more intimate for fans...kind of like Wrigley field.....but it is a business......
I love the Dodgers...but this regime sucks. Not surprised at all that this happened.

:sly
I have no problem with that Ed. People are making a big fuss out here in LA area about Lowe doing that, but I have absolutely no problem with him going back there for the ceremony or for wearing the Red Sox jersey. Shoot he hasn't even officially become a Dodger in the minds of the fans yet, and won't for awhile. He has to earn the right to be a Dodger, so for now he still is a Red Sox as far as I'm concerned playing for the Dodgers on a probationary period basis. That was easy for me to say. :paranoid
First....Go muther farging Milton Bradley!!!
And farg the Giants!
Saw a B-2 Stealth Bomber fly over the stadium...fargng surreal! Looked like the batwing flying over head with a loud boom.....awesome stuff!
Before that though, there were the navy seal paratroopers....and at one point it looked like two of them got tangled in the air and they were plummeting fast....I thought we were going to see two deaths.......but at the last minute.....literally with probably about a couple of hundred feet remaining...the broke off and took off and landed.....bastiches gave me a scare!
One of the greatest come backs in history though....incredible!!!
Life is good when things go well! :yay
Some updates on injuries and stuff:

Quote: Dodgers closer Eric Gagne continues his recovery from elbow and knee sprains, but he's not close enough to returning to have even picked up a ball. :'(
Gagne suffered a knee sprain Feb. 24 and the elbow sprain March 31. Officials have insisted that one did not lead to the other. Nonetheless, sprains generally take six weeks or more to fully heal. Although Gagne is on the 15-day disabled list, an April return could be a stretch.
Brad Penny is scheduled to pitch five innings in a Florida State League game for the Vero Beach Dodgers against the St. Louis Cardinals' affiliate and another rehabilitating pitcher, Matt Morris.
In a best-case scenario, Penny would start for the Dodgers on April 24.
Outfielder Jayson Werth was in the clubhouse after undergoing an MRI Monday on his broken wrist, which has been slow to heal. Wednesday will mark six weeks from the date of the injury. He has a return ticket to Vero Beach, Fla., for Thursday.
From what I've read Derek Lowe is fine.
We need Gagne..but this extra work is helping our new relievers and our suck ass ones as well.
Fortunately, we've been able to pull the games off....
I have no hope for Penny or Choi...the two suck asses that we got for getting rid of Mota, LoDuca and Encarnacion.....
Drew is walking on one eggshell....
Not having Gagne is killing our bullpen IMO. Guys like Carrara, Brezoban, Sanchez are going to get overworked early in the season.
As for Drew, well what will happen is that he will get hot, then red hot, then white hot, start to really tear it up and boom he'll get injured. :paranoid
I think we need to enjoy this winning while it lasts. :paranoid
Saenz needs to be in there instead of suck farg choi......
I don't mind Nakamura at 3rd...if he can produce.....
Repko is a good prospect....but he's always swinging for the fences....if he can pick his moments.......then he should develop into a good one....
Phillips is doing solid...meaning 100 times better than mayne or ross would have......
Ledee had a clutch double yesterday.....not a bad pinch hitter either.....
I'm ok....once we get gagne and werth back...I'll feel alot better.....hell...who knows....maybe Drew will start to produce....who knows if we'll be that lucky. ::)

Dodgers are much better off letting Gagne fully heal, than to rush him back and cause a similar or worse injury that could end his season. Elbow injuries are nothing to fool with.
I like Penny's stuff. Unfortunately, he's extremely brittle. Choi has never come close to living up to his potential, except for the one game I saw in Miami against the Phillies. He hit a home run to win the game after the Phils had pulled off a terrific comeback. :boom
Choi is bad......I'd rather have David Ross back....and that says alot!
I've got Milton Bradly on one of my fantasy baseball teams. I'm hoping that resists the suspension bug this year, and plays well enough to get me some good Util numbers.
In another league I have Gagne on the DL at the moment. It doesn't look like he's even throwing yet... Damn!!
So who's filling in for Gagne at RP now that Gagne's out? Brazoban?
Giovanni Carrera(Carrara?)
Duaner Sanchez if he can resist not giving up a run...but probably Carrara.
Thanks ;D
Brazoban is the main interim closer, working with Carrara and Sanchez.

What the heck happened to his name? I could have sworn it was Brezoban or something like that last season. :paranoid
If you haven't heard, the Dodgers are wearing the Brooklyn jerseys tonight.
I'm going to the game tonight! :yay
By the way...Jackie Robinson Statue day! :D

I think if Lowe can stay healthy he'll have a very good season in the pitcher friendly Chavez Ravine.
He may have a few more UNearned runs score against him than most, but I think he'll still have a good year.
Hey HB, do you know if todays game against the Brewers is on TV?
They usually show them on Fox sports west. Check it out.
Perez almost had the no-no....through 7 and a third...its ok...I like how he's pitching....he's about to make me a believer....we'll see.
Nice job bats! Keep'em going! :yay
Hail Milton Bradley! He's the shtein! :evil
I'm stunned to see all the interest in the Dodgers, with the usual Lakers playoff run n'all.
OMG....Dodgers rally from a 6 run deficit and come back in the top of the 9th to tie with two outs and win with a two run blast in the top of the 10th! Sweet! :yay
Go Dodgers! :yay :D
Just heard a very cool version of the Kirk Gibson home run in the world series by Tommy Lasorda on the phone to the local radio station...
Apparently, every inning....Lasorda would go and check in on Gibby.....Lasorda would ask if he was ready to go...but Gibby would give him a thumbs down.
When the Dodgers got off the field, one of the trainers said that Gibby wanted to see him in the tunnel. Gibby told Lasorda that he felt like he could hit for him. So, Lasorda turned around so he wouldn't change his mind and went into the dugout.
The due up was Mike Sciosa, Alfredo Griffin then the pitchers spot. Lasorda had originally told Mike Davis that he was going to hit for the pitchers spot but he put him in for Griffin instead...leaving the pitchers spot for Gibson.
Gibson wanted to go to the on-deck circle while Davis was up to bat...but he said that if he put him up there, that they would have pitched Davis differently. The previous year, Davis had hit 20+ home runs for the A's....so, they walked him hoping they would get some other pinch hitter......they were mortally wrong.
They then took the other scrub off the on deck circle and announced that Gibson was coming up to bat....Lasorda said that the crowd was suddenly electrified. Lasorda had goosebumps.....
...well...you all know the rest! ;D
Listening to that almost made my eyes watery. I only wish I had the chance to be at the stadium when it happened....but I do remember being in San Diego in front of my uncle's television set when that happened.....I'll never forget that!

I can remember watching that game (I was a senior in high school at the time and still had erroneous aspirations of being a professional ballplayer). Even though I was not a Dodger fan, I was a big fan of Gibson from his days with the Tigers in '84. That was one of the most incredible non-Phillie baseball experiences I have ever had.
I found the game on TV, but it wasn't on FSN2. I know 90% if the games are on UPN 13 or FSN2, but that day it wasn't. If you have DirecTv they have this "alternate" channel on 650 that showed the Dodger game that day, and it will be on 650 again today.
Oh and BTW, this Charlie Steiner SUCKS. Bring back Porter!!!
Go Valentin! Man...I love how this team is coming together...every night, its a different hero....great outing by Lowe...again!
Penny coming back Sunday.....man....this is too good. I hope that this is more an example of what is to come more than a lucky streak...although the pitching has been excellent......so.....it's really isn't the latter.

They haven't played that much quality opposition, but hey they are beating the teams they are supposed to beat if they are going to make a run at the NL West title.
Quality Opposition? Who? Braves? They lost to the Nationals.....
Phillies? Nothing to write home about.
Cardinals. Always a threat, but not the same team.
Houston? Not the same team.
Mets? We'll see...but have been inconsistent.
Marlins are a legit threat,
Mets, Marlins and Braves are the ones we have to worry about. Padres if they could hit, Giants if they weren't old and had barry. Reds always give us a hard time.
Anyways, we handle our division first then we take care of non-divisional opponents. Win'em in April so you don't have to in September. 8)

Obviously a dissapointing game, but throwing out Scott Erickson we can't expect too many victories especially going against a pitcher like Eaton on the road.
Man did you see Bradley gun down a runner at the plate AND at third? If you go to the Dodgers main page
http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/index.jsp?c_id=la
you can see the highlights of Bradley throwing them out. :yay
Yeah, Eaton is a tough pitcher.....Erickson is a suck ass pitcher. Can't wait til we get rid of him. He gives me a heart attack every time he throws a pitch. No velocity and bad control.

Dodgers have been eating suckeeos first thing in the morning lately. ::)
:boom
This weekend the Dodgers are facing the Rockies at home. The Rockies suck away from Colorado, especially when they come to LA. THe Dodgers will throw out:
Friday: Perez
Saturday: Penny
Sunday: Lowe
ANYTHING short of a sweep will be a huge dissapointment.
The team has changed from the first couple weeks. The first couple weeks they were all patient at the plate, they were drawing walks, they were making pitchers go deep into the count, they were making starters leave the game earlier and getting to the teams bullpen earlier. Kent, Drew, and Valentin had 12 walks each in the first couple weeks, they have only a few between them since. You watch Kent and he comes up swinging early in the count. Drew is probably the only one who still works the count out of those three.
Bradley and Ceasar are doing fine, but they also need to work the count more and try to get some walks.
Nakamura has to GO, and as Vin said last night, Antonio Perez is due back soon, and Wilson Alvarez is due back soon so he will be gone soon. It was a nice audition, but the guy is done.
I am extremely excited that Alvarez is coming back. I don't know how soon, or how rusty he will be but we need him.
That will help get some rest for our bullpen as Alvarez can eat up some innings and gives us another left handed reliever other than that side arm kid. (Wunsch?)
Antonio Perez is very intersting to me, I would LOVE to see him change to 3rd base and take over full time for Valentin. Valentin would be much better coming off the bench as a left handed batter (he needs to drop the right handed stuff, other than one lucky HR he can't hit right handed).
Perez would bring a lot of MUCH needed speed to the team and has amazing ability/potential.
Not to long after that we could get Werth back, and then eventually Gagne.
If the team can just hold on, fight through this next couple weeks then we'll see how good this team can be. When you throw Gagne and Wilson Alvarez out there, this bullpen increases ten fold.
Gagne
Brazoban
Carrara
Sanchez
Alvarez
Wunsch
one young righty?
Then when Penny is back for good:
Lowe, Perez, Penny, Weaver, and Alvarez/Erickson/soon to be a youngster I hope
Our batting should improve
Ceasar - no walks, but a great hitter & am I glad Tracy stuck with the switch hitting
Werth - we'll see how healthy he is, but has very good power and good enough speed
Drew - walks, on-base percentage, good hitter, quality power
Kent - professional hitter, good power, walks are pretty good
Bradley - as long as Bradley continues to be a hitter instead of trying to be a power hitter, good stuff
Valentin/Perez - I'm hoping Perez could take over here to add speed, and he hit 22 HRs in AAA last season
Choi - coming around a little lately, has decent power but needs to BACK OFF THE PLATE, he is 6'5 and he rides the plate and the pitchers just throw nothing but inside pitches all day that he can't handle, the hitting coaches have said they didn't make him change anything, but they need to step in and help him make an adjustment or his career will be short!!!!!!!
Phillips - just keep making good contact, he doesn't have to hit .340 all season, but just keep putting the bat on the ball
With key hitters and pitchers coming back, the team needs to just hold on until they get everyone back and the Dodgers could walk into the NL West title.
Interesting story:
Gagne suspended two games for wearing uniform while on DL (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-dodgers-gagnesuspended&prov=ap&type=lgns)
that is odd stuff.
QuoteAsked where he was going to spend the game against the Rockies, Gagne said, ``Maybe I'll sit with Mr. McCourt (Dodgers owner Frank McCourt) over there. He's got good seats.''
Gotta love Gagne! :yay :evil
Alvarez is back, great news.
If Beltre keeps struggling, maybe we can get him back for cheap later on like the Eagles did with some of their vets. :paranoid
How's that $55 million dollar man working out for you boys in Chavez Ravine?
I'm sad to say that I'm impressed with his poise at the plate. The dude finds a way to get on base via walks....since his 0-25 start....he's been batting .380 approximately. If he can heat up...he can make plays with Izzy being a multi-hit game hitter and being on base or he can take the heat off of Kent and Bradley. So far so good.
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on May 04, 2005, 07:06:53 PM
How's that $55 million dollar man working out for you boys in Chavez Ravine?
As HB noted, quite well as of late. He started out 0 for 25, but has batted around .380 since, along with 21 walks which would be tops on the Phillies ;). He works the count, he walks, he gets on base right in front of Kent and Bradley.
It's only a matter of time before he strains his mangina and goes on the DL.

You could say the same thing about Kearse, Westy, Trotter, etc.
Past injuries don't guarantee future problems.
NB....it would be a nice problem for us to have if the #2 hitter could actually get on base. That would me JD that much more of a threat and sets up Kent nicely. Wishful thinking....if only we could land Todd Helton! :drool

Choi has been on fire, hitting around .400 for almost 2 weeks now. Apparently one of his strong suits in the past was his ability to get on base, posting great on base % numbers before he came to the Dodgers. Although he seems to be the opposite of a #2 guy, I guess he'll have to work for now.
I wish we could bring back Dave Roberts to lead off, then have Ceasar - Drew - Kent - Bradley - Choi. We have no base stealing at all, and Dave is one of the best base stealers I've ever seen. Obviously the problem with Dave is he doesn't walk enough and only hits around .270-.280.
One thing I don't like about Ceasar is the way he goes into second when attempting to steal a base. If you watch him he slides in feet first, but is almost in a sitting motion with his upper body up real high and he leaves an easy target to tag. And Bradley can steal a base now and then, but he'll get picked off at first and thrown out at second as many times as he does successfully steal a base.
I don't think our team has the power to not be stealing bases AT ALL. Hopefully they'll find a way to be more aggressive/productive in that area. Ceasar did just steal a base a couple games ago that led to a run.
Yeah, we have poor base running....we shouldn't be getting picked off at all....
I wonder who we have that is up and coming in the farm system....
I've had enough of non-hitting nokamura.....get him the farg out of there.

As I've said before, Antonio Perez is the man to watch. He's young, can hit for decent power, steals bases and is coming back from an injury in the VERY near future. Apparently they have been working on him to play 3rd and backup at short.
He will be the starter soon, whether he takes advantage of that or not is up to him. But the kid has talent, and even if he struggled when he first started playing third, I would stick with him over any other player in the Dodgers org. right now at 3rd base.
If this Perez kid can at least play defense and hit .280...I'll take it. Nokamura and valentin are very unreliable.

QuoteGagne update: Closer Eric Gagne pitched another perfect inning on Tuesday night in Memphis, his second rehab appearance for Triple-A Las Vegas.
Gagne struck out two and recorded a fly-ball out, making 14 pitches. In his appearance on Sunday, he struck out all three batters he faced.
He is expected to make a two-inning appearance on Thursday night, rejoining the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Friday upon which time he may be activated.
Also in rehab news from the game, infielder Antonio Perez hit a three-run home run, but Werth went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts.
Man, when this team gets Gagne, Werth, and Perez back we will be so much deeper. :yay
Brazoban is a mean mother farger! That guy could stare death in the eye and strike him out. Did you see him pitch 101 mph yesterday to Edmonds? That guy is sick! He has brass farging balls!
A trade idea from a Phillies beat writer today:
Placido Polanco and Ryan Howard to LA for Duaner Sanchez and Andy LaRoche
Is Ryan Howard the 1st base minor league prospect?
Isn't Placido Polanco a suck-ass?
I like Duaner, but you can have my high blood pressure that comes along with seeing him pitch.
Oh great....he's one of those? We already have Terry Adams and Tim Worrell for that... :boom
Howard...yep. He's been awful since his callup though.
Polanco is decent but not a star. He wants out badly and says he'd love to play 3rd there (even though playing 3rd here is awful and unacceptable ::) :poison )...
Can't start over a true leader and professional like David Bell. No sir.
I don't know if that trade idea was the rumor we were hearing out here a couple of days ago....supposedly we're after two of your minor leaguers....one is the top prospect(1st baseman)....who is in no time soon, going to supplant Jim thome.....so....that's the one I heard...this one sounds a little different.

I don't know anything about Howard, but I do know contrary to what HB inferred that I would like to keep Sanchez around. Sanchez has struggled a bit this season, but he is a good young pitcher. He throws fastballs in the 92-97 range, and has some good stuff in regards to offspeed pitches. He pitched very well last season, and I think he'll get on track.
Last year Sanchez gave us 67 games pitched, 80 innings, with a 3.38 ERA as a 6th-7th inning guy.
This year he has a 3.24 ERA but has struggled in some games giving up inherited runners.
When we get Gagne back, Sanchez will play a more comfortable role for him, back into the 6th-7th inning.
As for Brazoban, just imagine how good things will be if Gagne can come back healthy, be the old Gagne. I mean your looking at almost a 7 inning game for the opposing offense, because if they go into the last 2 innings behind, those two guys will shut the door.
Well that series was frustrating, but expected I suppose. We have the Braves, Marlins, Angels, and Giants coming up next. For once in a long time I will be happy to see the Giants, only because we can beat their azzes after what could be an ugly home stand against top teams.
:'( That was beautiful last night. :'(
Milton "my favorite" Bradley 8)

Went to the game last night....it was nice kicking the ass of the D-Train. Nice to see us show up against him. Now....enter Beckett. :paranoid
The Phils smacked Beckett around earlier this year. If you catch him on a bad day, he's beatable, but if he's "on" after 2 innings, you're in trouble. Hope for blisters...

a.k.a. healthy meaning getting a 'third baseman' and the starting pitching's heads out their asses. farg! :boom

Think Reid had a few Dodger-Dogs in his youth? :paranoid
:-D In the immortal words of Hank Hill, "Yep"
Well this is fun. :boom
Atleast Antonio Perez is back and getting work. The guy has been great since he's come back, practically lives on the base paths. Hopefully Perez will continue to start and get more work at 3rd.
Also it is good to see Werth back out there, but he has to be pretty rusty and probably isn't 100% yet.
What a game by Penny and Perez :yay
HB are you watching this kid Perez?
He's been on Fuego...he doesn't look big either...but I'll take base hits when i can get'em....and he can run :yay We can only continue to pray. :evil
Yeah, he's not huge but as you said he has good speed/quickness for defense and running the bases. He does a great job hitting the ball the other way, but I think right now he has the power to hit 15-20 HRs the rest of the season and really help this team offensively with hitting and some speed.
Not only defensively...but if he can hit .280 and up...we'll be ok.......
I'm happy with Jason Phillips....Izturis.....Perez if he can keep it up......choi...if he continues to contribute and expand his batting zone.........Repko can only get better..........I like these youngsters......hopefully we can do better in June. :-\
I'm going to the game on Wednesday, my first this year :-[ I can't wait!!
Derek Lowe vs. some 24 year old kid named Koronka (due to all their starting pitching injuries)
I've seen Lowe twice this year.....once againt Adam Eaton....once against Dontrelle Willis......
What the farg is Alvarez doing out there as a starter? :boom
ANother solid start by the youngster :yay
The Dodgers have to win a minimum of 3 out of 4 in this series!! They better not split or lose this one.
Good start by Weaver, he really needs to step up his game against good teams as well as the Detroit type teams.
Good thing the Dodgers get to avoid the Twins ace Santana :yay He pitched last night.
How the bloody shtein does this thread have 6 pages of responses?
Because this board is populated by people who have way to much time on their hands.
Now I'm off to watch a movie, eat some more and play video games before I settle in for the night and watch TV.
We're 3 back...fortunately, San Diego has been dropping the ball. We have the tools and the pitching to do good...its just frustrating that our bullpen is unreliable right now.
Sanchez....what the farg is up with that guy? Every year there is a guy on the squad that I know should be hung but I just keep on rooting for him. (Nomo, Green, Sanchez)....farg. :boom
Since we got Urbina yesterday, we won't need Sanchez anymore. No Polanco for you! ;D

Hee Seop Choi!!!!
Thumbs up to Penny's signing as well. I hope our starting pitching can tighten up their screws and pitch alot better...Lowe loves to give the other team an early lead. :boom
Odalis needs to get off his azz, and get back to help the team!
I don't understand why our pitching is struggling, it's frustrating. :boom
Maybe you guys need Jose Lima back.
He's good enegry...but...we've got enough pitchers sucking ass for us right now.
If you look at the pitching matchups and the teams, this should be a sweep.
Wed. night we face Lima Time!!

Gagne...probably out for the season.
Whoah, calm down. He'll probably be out until a little after the all-star break.
QuoteSo....steroids eh?
Yeah you wonder with Gagne, I remember listening to some old time baseball player and the guy said, "In regards to steroids, I wouldn't look at the starting pitchers like Clemens, I would look into the relievers/closers".
Gagne had thee best 3 seasons of any closer/reliever in the history of the game, and to go out and be unhittable every night he goes out there, and does back to back 50+ save seasons and then last season had 45, that is just amazing, and yet almost unbelievable.
Usually when a guy goes on steroids, his body will eventually start to break down, could this be that time?
At the same time, maybe he's injured because he has been extremely overused in the last 3 seasons? :paranoid
I don't feel roids comes into play here....its just a farged up injury...a re-injury...that's all. :evil
...and we pray. :evil
Did you see what Gagne looked like as an average starting pitcher about 5 years ago?
Hint: about 30 pounds less muscle

Go Dodgers! :yay
AJ Pierzynski must've forgotten that he no longer plays for your favorite rivals the Giants. Nice walk off HR by him today. :P
Dodgers had a 3-1 lead in the 9th too. Man, that must've hurt... :-D
We were lucky to get the sweep last night, but if Choi gets outta the fargin' way then Pods doesn't get on base. When Pods gets on, good things happen to us. Felt sorry for Jeff Kent, though, he made a great play and got done by the ump. Still, never mind. :-D
Nice 0-6 trip there. Geez, even the Mets found a way to win one.... :P

Last night they looked like a team that almost expects to lose. They are so obviously missing Gagne, because the whole team seemed to tighten up towards the end. They got a bad break on the Podsednik call, make a error on the throw and then implode. They need to keep it together, especially in the bullpen.
Missing Gagne, Odalis Perez, Milton Bradley, Cesar Izturis (he did play last game but isn't healthy and is rusty), etc.
:boom
excuses excuses indeed!!!!
All I can say is farg!...
But all is not lost...we'll bounce back. :evil
Go Dodgers! :yay
By the way, I've been a Podsednik fan since I saw him play in Milwaukee last year...that guy caught my eye and I feel he is the prototype Major League ball player. He can run, he is consistent with the bat and is smart. That guy is worth every single cent he makes. Nice pick up! :yay

Yeah, I was sceptical because I was a big Carlos Lee fan, but Pods has been awesome. Joe Morgan made the great point during the broadcast that the wild throw from the pitcher on the pickoff attempt was all down to Pods being such a dangerous base-runner.
Think you guys can win a game tonight? :P
If by "you guys" you mean "anyone playing the Dodgers", then yes. ;D
It's official:
Gagne to have Tommy John surgery (http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/3708532?CMP=OTC-K9B140813162&ATT=49)
I hope we can continue to pull off this losing streak...I mean....it was hard enough winning 8 in a row to start the season.....but farg...losing 8...that's hard. Go Dodgers! :yay ::) :'(

That's a beautiful thing! That would have been his second Tommy John surgery, and he may have never gotten back to 100% form, but now he has a chance to be just fine.
Too bad the Dodgers suck ass. ::)
The Dodgers were an average team before, but to have this many injuries in the season, well we don't have the depth to handle it. This is getting ugly, and it doesn't look like too much will change.
The Dodgers FO in the offseason said they would play with the same payroll they had last season. Well apparently last season the payroll was right around $100 mill, and this season it is in the low $80s. Now although that is still a healthy payroll, don't get me wrong I'm not saying that is cheap, but the FO obviously didn't stick to its word. I was hoping what the FO would do was realize they had money to spend close to the trading deadline and we could pick up another starter or something, but if things keep going this way I hope they don't.
I do not want the Dodgers FO trading away our best prospects if our season is over. Keep the payroll low, maybe even trade away some vets and bring in some talent if anything.
GET CASEY :-X
Tonight will be only the second time since June 11th that the Dodgers have won 2 straight games, good thing both times will be against San Diego which is saving our season.
HB you better be voting for the all star game.
Seriously, get Sean Casey. He's pissed off Cincy management for speaking out against the Graves release....

But they've got Hee Sop Choi! :D
Choi does have potential (yes I know you were mocking the Dodgers and Choi), but everytime he starts to get going the Dodgers bench him for a couple games. He has 13 HRs and 31 RBIs with approx. 100 LESS at bats than your average everyday starter. He plays a couple days, then he sits a couple days. If you know baseball, then you know the inconsistent play can destroy a players batting average. That's why you don't have too many successful pinch hitters in the history of the game.
Olmaedo Saenz is breaking down physically, so Choi should start to see more consistent play, but the Dodgers refuse to let him hit lefthanders.

You don't sound too excited there.
Didn't we have Pratt a few years back?
Phillips is all right, but I'm hoping he is just a temporary fill in until Dionar Navarro(sp?) comes up. Phillips can't throw out anyone to save his life (although some of that blame goes to the pitchers) and he can't hit for any power, and he isn't a consistent hitter.
The only thing that has kept Phillips around is how he was red hot for the first couple months hitting with runners in scoring position, but even that is gone now too.
Pratt has also been on the Cubs and Mets, but that's it...

:-D Actually the third base side is the best in terms of games played at 7pm, the sun hits the first base side (if you were between home and 1st then you obviously were fine, the sun hits most of the 1st base side beyond 1st base down the line).
But I know what you mean, you get in the right section and the lines are short, the bathrooms are relatively empty and the sun can't mess with you. :yay To me when the sun is going to be out during the game, I'll pay the extra $10-$20 to get a good seat.

Alls I know is the Dodgers are having one of those "blessing in disguise" type seasons. Yes the glass is still half full for the Dodgers. A LOT of the young guys are getting crucial experience this year which will help our depth considerably in the future.
Plus, this next offseason is the time when finally a lot of those rediculous contracts are off the books. Darren Dreifort's $11-14 million per season contract will be off the books, and I think Shawn Green and some of those other contracts that are now "dead money" will finally be off the books.
The Dodgers should have plenty of youth that got tons of experience this year, along with a LOT of payroll room to bring in help next season. :yay
I'd love to see them fight all the way through this year as they still have a chance to win the West, but the future doesn't look as grim as this season might make it seem.
Dodgers take 2 of 3 in Atlanta :yay :yay
Now go take 3 of 4 vs Florida :sly
Thanks Dodgers.
Hey, there's one less Dodger fraud on the board now! :crazy
Why he's not here is beyond me....but I have to carry the slack and have conversations with myself...which is not hard to do.
If the pitching can carry us through 6.5 to 7 innings with a lead...I think we can pull it off. It's not a long shot...but the fact that we're only 4 back is motivation enough for everyone.
Keep the timely hitting coming and the solid pitching outings (Lowe, that means you)...and we definitely have a shot!
Go Dodgers! :yay
...and we pray! :evil
It's time to get the ball rolling. We're playing a bad road team in Colorado. They are simply bad. We need to take advantage of their bad play this year and put pressure on the Padres.
Go Dodgers! :yay

I agree with you hbionic. We need to get solid performances every night out from each pitcher. Right now, Penny and Weaver are the only ones that do that. Our bullpen sucks ass. I'm still holding on to hope...but its not getting any easier when we shoot ourselves in the foot. Specially with the Bradley/Kent feud going on right now.
I knew it was too much for Milton to go an entire season without some type of controversey. Good job, Milton. You sound like a dope.

LOL...must be tough knowing that d-bag is gone from the board and you only have yourself to talk to re: the dodgers. ;) :-D
Bradley, out for the season. :boom
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2142403
Sorry to hear that about Bradley.
Why is it that bad things always seem to happen to the best people?
^-^
He's all Dodger. Temper or not, he hustles and always wants to win out there. I guess next season, he'll have more of a supporting cast with Green's and Dreidfordt's contracts out of the way...aka 20 million or so.
We still have a chance...although 6 games out....we might have to win this with a sub-.500 mark.
Go Dodgers! :yay
Bradley doesn't know how to deal with white people.
bionic, how the HELL can you even stand to like the Dodgers anymore? im watching astros @ dodgers right now and these announcers are HORRIBLE. how farging boring can you be?
Please beat the Astros. Thanks....
Good job :yay
farg you ed :D

First, go swallow your step dad's load.
After that...who the farg were you listening to? If you listen to Steiner and Lyons(who should be shot dead), you don't know shtein about the Dodgers. Try Vin Scully first of all...for ALL home games...he's the best sports announcer on earth, period. Second, try Rick Monday or Jaime Jarrin in Spanish. They know their shtein. Steiner is a McCourt goon...Ross Porter kicked ass.
Anyways, who the hell are you to question why the farg I like the Dodgers. Eat me.
I actually only said that the liking them now because the announcers to me were boring.
Which spanish broadcaster is blind? They had a story on him and they said how his wife would tell him the parts of the game, and then he'd broadcast it.

That's a good question. I know that they have a third man in the spanish broadcast booth. Time for google!
*Quick note, I remember seeing/watching or George Michael's sports machine or this week in baseball about a spanish announcer that was blind for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays...this was years ago if I am not mistaken. Could well be that same guy but I have not heard anything about him here in Los Angeles. Interesting though.
Went to the game last night...watched a horrible Dodgers team begin to lose to a just as bad Giants team...until Kent decided to take matters into his own hands that is. ;) Nice game for sucking so bad. It was fun though watching us win...which is a rarity.
Go Dodgers! :yay

Today's matchup is going to be good. Weaver vs. Schmidt. He's tough but if we can get to him...we should be fine. But then again, we are the Dodgers which means lack of offense in Latin. If we could only find a way to clone Jeff Kent. I wonder if he can pitch too.
HBionic: America's last Dodger fan.
Nice comeback win last night. I'm not exactly happy that Weaver blew his own lead...the 7th inning doesn't seem to be his best friend by the way........but the fact that we don't give up with our scrap ass line up...makes me feel tingly inside.
We've got 3 against the Pads...we'll see if we want it bad enough. 6.5 out...with the possibility to close it to 3.5. It's a long shot...but its a shot. I hope that the pitching can hold up and we can put enough quality at bats together to put some wins together.
Go Dodgers! :yay
Izturis, Tommy John surgery...will be out until next July. :-\
At least we have Robles who has proved to be a decent enough infielder and can put the stick to the ball.
Bradley had surgery yesterday in Cincinnati. DePodesta was talking about that they need to have a few 'meetings' to see what's going to happen to Bradley as a Dodger. I hope he stays.
The Dodgers suck almost as much as the Phillies.

Not quite as much...but very, very close...unless we lose three to the Pads...then we suck cow ass, which is worse than the Phillies.

Man, there seem to be a boatload of TJ surgeries anymore.

Am I the only one that thinks it sounds cool when someone uses that word like that.
Anyways, I know we're 6 out...with little to a few games left. But here's the scenario.
Bonds is coming back. Yes, farg Bonds...but wait....they(Giants) have 7 left against the Giants, we(Dodgers) have 3 left. Padres still have to face a feisty Nationals team 3 more times, Arizona 3 times and a cockblocking Rockies team 4 times as well.
It's not out of the question to think we can still challenge for the division. It's going to take timely hitting and flawless pitching from our staff who are very capable....we just have to put the bats together. JD Drew was supposed to be coming back in early September. We could sure use him. I wonder what's that status on him. Regardless, here we go. This is going to be an interesting next three weeks. If we can get on a streak, we have a great chance!
Go Dodgers! :yay

You're relying on San Diego to lose to a fading Washington and 2 awful clubs in Arizona and Colorado?

Although the Nationals are fading, they are still a better than mediocre(*Mediocre meaning, San Diego, Colorado, Los Angeles, San Francisco), if not at the same level. They should be good to take at least one, hopefully two from the Padres.
Arizona and Colorado still are technically 'in the hunt'...plus, these teams don't mind blocking each other from winning the division...so I'm sure they'll all be playing with extra incentive. Padres aren't unbeatable.
Of course they aren't. The Phils have won 10 straight against them... ;D
Remember, when it comes to teams within a division...there always seems to be some mysterious dynamic that comes into play that makes a sucky team, not as sucky.
Solid outing from Weaver! :yay Thank god we didn't see a 7th inning breakdown.
Go...Giants!? :paranoid I have to wash my mouth out with soap now. But, if they could sweep the Padres, that would be really nice of them. ;D
Go Dodgers!

By the way, go Weaver...outings like that gives us hope. Go Giants too. Keep on playing them well....just two more wins against them....we have just as good a chance tonight. It's beginning to be a wild, wild west.

Technically, you're confusing MPD (multiple personality disorders) with true schizophrenia, which is a brain disease which is complicated, but is definitely not MPD.
This link (http://www.schizophrenia.com/family/sz.overview.htm) describe schizophrenia much more ably than I ever could after my little psychology minor.
Sorry to be nit-picky. ;D

I was really rooting for NB to get Theo Epstein.
Too bad.
:'(
I don't know what the fascination of an ex-poster to get with a GM candidate...but I'm happy about the pick up for the Dodgers. Saeban has a good track record. They always had dangerous teams.. ...we'll see what happens. Go Dodgers! :yay

Why didn't they hire the Korean woman? Supposedly she was well qualified...
