9 in a row for the Pads. These guys are going to make the '69 Cubs look like men of steel.

This collapse is looking epic. :sweat:

Speaking of epic collapses, WORTHLESS Jonathan Broxton blows another save, and the Dodgers lose to the Giants, 5-4. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:

And Torre keeps using that idiot as his closer. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:

Rox -4 Padres -2, now at 10 and counting. :wow:

^ Wow.

Padres lead in the West is just about gone... And the Rockies appear to be making another late season run.

EDIT: Dodgers get shutout by the Giants, 3-0. :shakehead:

White Sox won again today. Manny is hitting .438 since going to Chicago. But he didn't quit on the Dodgers, nope, no way, couldn't happen, he's the consummate professional. :usuck:

That's just Manny being Manny.

Maybe Manny's more motivated since the ChiSox are still in contention. :sweat:

Dodgers end the Padres ten game losing streak by losing to them, 4-2.

Though not coming in for a save, Broxton still manages to give up a run. :shakehead:

Dodgers keeping the Padres in first place by losing to them again, 2-1.

Dodger get swept by the Padres, 4-0. :shakehead:

Ever since that chump Broxton blew that game against the Giants, the Dodgers have pretty much packed it in, losing four straight.

Speaking of going in the tank, White Sox lost their third in a row to the Tigers, Manny went 0-4, his average down to .292, can he be bailing out already??

LOL, his inspiration didn't last for very long. :beaten:

The Dodgers have a new player: Trent Oeltjen. He's from Australia. I wish AD were still around because I don't speak Australian and I have no idea how to pronounce this guys last name. :headscratch:

Heh. :hehe:

Looks like the Dodgers are maybe bringing up farm players to try 'em out. :victory:

Dodgers got lucky last night, beating the Astros 4-2 in 14 innings. Kuroda had pitched 6 innings of 4-hit ball, giving up just one run when Joe (Hey! It's the 7th inning! Time to bring in a relief pitcher!) Torre went to the bullpen. To the surprise of almost no one, in 2/3rds of an inning the game was tied.

I know it's only the middle of September, but Joe, in case you haven't noticed, except for Kuo, YOUR BULLPEN SUCKS!!!

Speaking of not noticing, the Phillies are now in 1st place in the NL East and its looking very dicey for the Braves to even get in as the wild card. What the hell happened? :headscratch:

+1.

Sad to say, but I hope Joe retires after this season... It seems rather obvious that he can't coach/motivate a team that doesn't have the talent of those Yankee teams he had in New York. :(

I hope the Dodgers can get Dusty Baker: his contract with the Reds ends this season and he hasn't signed an extension...

Yeah, I checked the standings the other day and noticed the position swap... :shocked:

They must've did the same thing the Padres are doing right now: tanking. :sweat:

Dodgers win their second straight game against the Astros, 6-3.

Ichiro hits a three-run home run, but the Mariners lose to the Angels, 7-4.

Ichiro's average is down, only .312, but he leads the league hits with 185. :victory:

Dodgers lose to the Astros, 7-4.

San Diego loses to SF, 6-1, and now the two are tied atop the West.

And Colorado won its 10th(!) straight and are are 1-1/2 games out.

I'll be stunned, no, shocked, if Colorado zooms by both and takes the West. :shocked:
