On April 15th they were 2-10, since then they've gone 22-10 :hot:

Kind of surprised they cut Okajima loose, maybe the Dodgers will pick him up, he couldn't be any worse than what they've already got. :fingerscrossed:

Didn't realize they released him until your post, perhaps with the starters pitching so well they can do without one more pitcher in the 'pen. Relievers are like managers as far as recycling goes, he'll latch on somewhere else. :sweat:

dodgers get pummeled by the ChiSox, 9-2. :(

Dodgers get routed by the ChiSox again, 8-3. :(

But I count yesterday as a win because they caught one of those sleaze-ball-scum-sucking-low-life maggots that beat up Bryan Stow. :woot:

One down, one to go. :fingerscrossed:

Yup... And supposedly he was the one who actually beat the guy up.

Dodger bullpen continues their mastery of blowing games, this time a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the ninth with two out: 4-3. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:

It's getting to the point where it's becoming comical.

On the bright side, Matt Kemp got his 100th home run. 655 behind Aaron and only 2 behind Ethier. :woot:

Those two seem to be the only bright spots on the team... They might be gone next year, if the team doesn't shape up. :sweat:

Another good outing by Buchholz was wasted last night as Bard once again failed to do the job, coming in with a 2-1 lead and within 2 batters it became a 3-2 loss. :grumble: 14 innings in Buchholz's last 2 starts allowing only 2 runs but no wins to show for it, could have moved in first last night as the Rays and Yanks :twisted: both lost again.

They keep missing their opportunity to move into first place.

At least they're playing a whole lot better than at the beginning of the season.

The Dodgers should be so lucky.

EDIT: Not surprising, but the family of the guy who was beaten at Dodger Stadium is now suing McCourt and the Dodgers. :sweat:

Dodger bullpen (finally) comes through and they beat the Astros, 5-4.

Lot of afternoon games today, the key one was the Sox taking the rubber game against the Indians, :woot: should have been a sweep, as the offense was in overdrive in a 14-2 rout. :victory: Solid effort by Lester though it wasn't really needed, even Crawford had a big game with 4 hits today.

Dodgers lose to the Astros, 2-1... Bullpen does them in again in the bottom of the ninth. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:

Sox offense exploded again today against Detroit. Crawford had another 4-hit game. Aceves had another good outing. :victory:

It also helps if you post the score. :P

BoSox win, 14-1.

:rofl:
28-3 they've won the last 2 games by, sounds like a Pat's score. :naughty:

They might want to save some of those runs for when/if Lackey and Dice-K come back. :sweat:

Seems like they'd be better off if they didn't come back but doubt if any other team would want them and their contracts. :shakehead: Seems as though this writer doesn't think they're hoping Dice returns.
