Dodgers on the verge of getting swept by the Giants. :shakehead:

EDIT: Dem Bums get swept. :bleh:

Beginning of the year seemed like they were losing a lot of high scoring games, :muack: now they get good pitching and the bats are asleep, take out Friday's game and they scored 6 runs in 5 games. :doh:

Yup.

Oddly, the entire team goes cold, not just a player or two. :shakehead:

Maybe the McCourt divorce is finally having an effect on the team.

Quite possibly did, instead of getting the 2 Cub players they should have gotten Dunn, he makes more than the 2 of them but he's a proven force in the middle of a lineup. :bow:

Padres at Dodgers starting today... Ho hum. :sweat:

It'll be more interesting tomorrow: Ken Burns (Baseball, The Civil War) will be throwing out the first pitch. :victory:

Yes. :woot:

I'll most likely buy the DVD as well. :)

Dodgers getting pummeled by the Padres, 10-2, in the sixth. :shakehead:

Wow, Yanks and Rays are tied for first after the Yanks lost their second straight game. :victory:

Hopefully he'll have something about Nomo and the influx of Asian players that started in the '90s. :victory:

I would think so... :fingerscrossed:

Ichiro! :woot:

I'm sure the steroid issue will be covered.

Speaking of that, finally finished You Gotta Have Wa last week. :mrgreen: Enjoyed it but it would have been better if it was newer, any books about the influx of Asian players out yet? :bow:

Rays are a solid team, looks like both will make due to the fact the Sox are going in the wrong direction, :puppydog: lost to the Indians(!) last night 6-5. :shakehead: Once again they always rally but too often they let the other team get too far ahead, Lackey got hit hard again. Season could be on line this weekend as the travel to the Bronx to face the Evil Empire, :usuck: a sweep is sorely needed. :fingerscrossed:

The same author did The Meaning of Ichiro a few years ago. I've read it, pretty good:http://www.amazon.com/Meaning-Ichiro-Transformation-National-Pastime/dp/0446531928/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

Youkilis is now on the DL. This has been one tough season, that whole 'run prevention' thing hasn't worked out at all. :shakehead:

Oh no, didn't know that. :shamefulcry: The team revolves around him and Pedroia, who is supposed to be back next Monday. :fingerscrossed: They also just put Cameron back on the DL, when is it going to stop?

When the season ends. :beaten:

It's just about over for the boys in blue. :shakehead:

If that's the case hope the season either ends now or goes to 200 games to get a few of them back. :nut:

Could be worse off than the boys in blue, Cubs have lost 6 in a row including an 18-1 and a 17-2 massacre. :bleh:

Yup.

Not the way Lou wants to exit the game. :sweat:

Be surprised if he finishes the year, Ryno is their Triple-A manager, wonder if he's going to be next in line, with that talent though may not matter :rofl: ...what would Earl Weaver do with them, probably have a heart attack before spring training is out. :doh:
