I wish Fox still owned the Dodgers. Frank McCourt has turned this once proud franchise into a joke. The fucking Angels have more fans in LA than the Dodgers do now. Way to capitalize on winning the NL West L.A . :x

I think the dry desert air is shrinking your fortitude.

Go buy a Vlade jersey and spoon with RJ, bandwagoner.

The only good thing about this season for the Dodgers is that Tracy will get the axe.

:lol:

Ease up, cat, it was a joke.

The Dodgers are definitely struggling. Their offense is as anemic as ever, and now the defense is just as suspect. The bullpen has been dogshit since May. Our starting rotation has been virtually absent; no rythym or consistency.

It can only get better.

At the risk of sounding like our current POTUS, we need to "stay the course" and realize that it will probably get worse before it gets better. Fox and Murdoch just wanted to make money, and get out. McCourt is in it for the long haul. He may be a Boston Parking Lot Attendant who's keeping the team afloat from check to check but I think he'll come around.

Moneyball Depodesta is a numbers dweeb but I don't think he's made any true bonehead moves, but I think no matter what ownership says about money, his hands are tied. They're gonna do things on the cheap for now. It would have been nice to stop the revolving door at third base and have Beltre, and I think Adrian was comfortable in LA and would be tearing it up right now if he stayed in blue, but he was too pricey.

I miss Cora's glove but love Kent. It's good to see a catcher, Navarro, who can throw a runner out more than once a month. Valentin and Saenz are wiley vets but not everyday players. Maybe Hee Sop Choi can figure it out enough that Tracy lets him play. Maybe Jose Cruz Jr. rediscovers his stroke. Maybe JD Drew returns from the DL and lives up to the hype.

Too many maybes.

Maybe next year.

:lol:
