"Not to drive the point into the ground, but it’s difficult to forget that even the Astros & Marlins wouldn’t touch him for free this winter." I don't get this. Are we now viewing the management of the Astros and Marlins as competent judges of ability or talent?
Did I just see Hyun-Jin Ryu munching on a bag of "Giant" brand sunflower seeds?
I guess AJ only bats eighth when the rest of the lineup are major leaguers.
They walked Andre Ethier to get to Matt Kemp. 'Nuf said.
Good thing Abreu got out of the way, or Punto might not have been picked off.
Game over?
Lance Lynn has been pretty bad lately. What are the odds of his having a quality start? I'd say there're pretty good.
Making the playoffs means a 163d game, very likely another game like the one they played Sunday.
I can do without that. The Dodgers aren't a playoff team.
It could be worse: if Adam Kennedy were available, the brain trust might have decided to rest Cruz.
Colletti staying on almost makes me root for the Dodgers to lose. Kind of like when Steve Lavin coached the UCLA Bruins.
TJ Simers talked about Mattingly throwing in the towel when he let Capuano hit with the bases loaded. How about letting Kennedy do the same? How does Kennedy play in a game that you want to win?
@el serracho @Mike Petriello A perfect Ned Colletti trade: Yasiel Puig for A-Rod.
@lafan4life78 If he wasn't paid so much, Ned could trade him for a 40 year old third baseman.
The Bums may stink, but Puig is having a nice run: 2 for 2 so far tonight, BA approaching .400.
Puig: 4 for 4, with two doubles.
Steve Lyons. And don't forget that he's gritty, too. @Mike Petriello @Omer @el serracho
Good to hear the Dodgers didn't give up much for Blanton. Of course, Blanton isn't worth very much.
"White, for the record, can’t get anyone out." Anyone? Or just anyone but the Dodgers?
