dodger's broxton blows another one, allowing the rockies to win, 4-3. I think if LA was out of it, broxton would be a good experiment, but since they are in the pennant race, they should hand the closer job to either park or kuo, IMHO.

Unbelievable. :shakehead:

Dodgers take 6 of 7 from two possible playoff-bound teams (Phillies and Brewers), then get slapped around by the near-cellar dwelling Rockies. :bleh:

Inexplicable. :grumble:

After sweeping the Phillies at home, the Dodgers get swept by the Phillies in Philadelphia... :shakehead: :sweat: :bleh: :puppydog:

And now the sorry-ass Dodgers :beaten: can't even beat the sorry-ass Nationals :beaten: :beaten: I guess we can kiss this sorry-ass season goodbye :beaten: :beaten: :beaten:

Talk about a Jekyll-and-Hyde team. :shakehead:

I think the Dodgers have thrown in the towel... They're getting pounded, 8-3, by the D-backs.

Another late season fade. :shakehead:

If Colorado hurries up, they could finish ahead of the Dodgers. :beaten: [/list:u]

Augh.

I don't get it: their pitching was doing well, then they get Manny for some punch, Maddux to cover for Penny, and they disintegrate. :shakehead:

The curse of Mike Piazza.

After getting swept by the Phillies and Nationals, the Dodgers beat the 1st place D-backs 2 out of 3. To quote Harry Caray, "I just don't understand it!' :crazy:

I think a lot of Angelenos are saying the same thing. :sweat: :headscratch:

The Dodger roller coaster is going up again: they beat the Padres, 6-4, to complete a sweep and wind their fifth straight game after losing eight straight. :sweat:

Final meeting with the D-backs starting on Friday. :sweat: :fingerscrossed:

Dodgers rout the D-Backs yesterday, 7-0, with the help of Andre Ethier's fives hits... :victory:


And the Dodgers lead today, 7-0, in the eighth inning thanks for five RBI's by Manny. :victory: :applaud:

If they win, they'll take over first place in the Wacky West. :sweat:


Just a week ago, they had lost their eighth straight... Go figure. :headscratch:

Dodgers win their eighth straight game, sweeping the D-Backs, 5-3, and lead the Wacky West by 1-1/2 games... :sweat: :fingerscrossed:

Broxton tried to blow another save today, but failed. :bleh:

I was reading the bio on Mark McGwire in Wiki and noticed this interesting tidbit of irony:

McGwire married Stephanie Slemer, a former pharmaceutical sales representative from the St. Louis area, in Las Vegas on April 20, 2002.


Hmmmm. :rolleyes:

Dodgers getting shut out by the Padres, 4-0. :puppydog:

Uh oh. :sweat:

Dodgers and D-backs both lose. I guess nobody wants to win this thing. :shakehead:

Instead of the Wild West it should be the Apathetic West. :sweat:

Dodgers getting shut out by the Padres again, 2-0, in the fifth. :sweat:

Looks like the roller coaster is starting to head down again. :shakehead:

Dodgers lead the Padres in the ninth, 3-2. :sweat:


Andruw Jones is 2-4: two strikeouts in four at-bats. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:

What an absolutely worthless acquisition for the Dodgers.

Dodgers win, 6-2... And the D-Backs lose, 5-4.

Now the Dodgers are up 2-1/2 games in the West. :victory:
