Manny goes 0-5, but the Dodgers still win, 6-2. :victory:
His 1 game slump not going to last long. Giants should walk Manny every at bat. :applaud:
Watching the ^&*$@#%! Dodgers blow yet ANOTHER chance to get into first place. :shakehead: :grumble:
Morons. :grumble:

Yup, 8 innings of great work by Kuroda down the tubes. Last week I sent an email to channel 7 because Kurt Sandoval keeps pronouncing his first name Hi-Rock-i. I told him it's pronounced Hi-Row-ki. This morning the numbskull is skill pronouncing it Hi-Rock-i. You'd think the other sports anchor, Rob FUKUZAKI would straighten him out. :shakehead:

And Jeff Kent's homer in the top of the 10th wasted as well... :grumble:
12 hours later and I'm still pissed.

Yeah, isn't Rob the #1 at ABC...?
He shouldn't let that slide... :grumble:
Dodger relief pitching blows another save and the Dodgers lose to the Giants in the bottom of the ninth, 5-4. :shakehead:
Unbelievable. :grumble: :bleh: :shakehead: :grumble: :bleh: :shakehead:
Unbelievable. :grumble: :bleh: :shakehead: :grumble: :bleh: :shakehead:
Nomar hits a sayonara homer, Dodgers win 7-6 :victory: Manny hits another home run. Manny could end up leading the team in home runs and play less than 50 games. :shakehead:

Now why couldn't they do this to put away the Giants??? :grumble:
I'm not impressed with Broxton as the closer... The guy always looks shaky. :sweat:
Jason Johnson was quite impressive as the middle reliever. :victory:
Dodgers beat the Phillies again, 4-1, sweeping the four game series. :victory:

I was convinced of that after he blew those two saves in 'Frisco. :grumble:

LOL.
I don't think the Dodger's GM is willing to spend money to infuse Saito with Adamantium. :beaten:
Broxton loses yet another game in relief, 4-3, to the Brewers. :shakehead: :grumble:
Rumors have Greg Maddux coming back to the Dodgers, considering it's pretty obvious Brad Penny is done for the season.... :sweat:
^ Consider it a done deal.
Maddux back in LA, in pennant race
By JOHN NADEL, AP Sports Writer 1 hour, 21 minutes ago
LOS ANGELES (AP)\Greg Maddux is back in Los Angeles for another stretch drive.
The Dodgers announced Tuesday that they have reacquired Maddux and received cash from San Diego. The Padres will get two minor league players to be named or cash.
The 42-year-old first came to the Dodgers late in the 2006 season, when he went 6-3 with a 3.30 ERA in 12 starts to help them win a wild-card berth.
This time, Los Angeles is dueling Arizona for the NL West lead.
Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti, who put together the trade that sent Cesar Izturis to the Chicago Cubs and brought Maddux to Los Angeles on July 31, 2006, obviously was pleased to have the right-hander back.
gItfs very rare that you get the opportunity to add a pitcher like Greg even one time, let alone twice,h Colletti said in a statement. gHefs one of the greatest pitchers of all time and wefve already seen what he can add to a team both on the field and in the clubhouse.h
Maddux is 6-9 with a 3.99 ERA this season, and has 353 career wins. His record with last-place San Diego this season includes 11 no-decisions.
He had indicated to the Padres before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline that he wanted to rejoin the Dodgers, but Los Angeles was unable to reach a deal then.
Maddux, who has a home south of Los Angeles in Orange County, had to waive the no-trade clause in his contract for the new deal to go through. His salary with San Diego this year was $10 million.
He will replace Brad Penny, who went on the disabled list with a shoulder injury last Thursday, in the Dodgersf rotation. Maddux will probably make seven or eight starts.
He becomes the latest addition to the much-improved Dodgers, bolstered by the acquisition of Manny Ramirez and Casey Blake over the past month.
Los Angeles has been below .500 much of the season, but remained in contention in baseballfs weakest division. Winners of six of their last seven as they headed into Tuesday nightfs game against Colorado, the Dodgers have improved to 64-60 and were tied with the Diamondbacks atop the West.

As an aside, how many times has this player "To Be Named Later" been part of trades? He must get tired of moving from team to team so often :lol:

LOL, I just read that news report. :beaten:
I'll bet part of Maddux's trade involves him getting a motor home. :mrgreen:

The New York Mets traded him back to Cleveland for himself. :crazy:

And thus his nickname became "Boomerang." :beaten:
