On this board, you really should have started a new thread called "We've got ManRam." Or "ManRam is coming, and I'm thrilled."

You know. To lure the bachelors into a sports thread.

Just bought tickets for tonight's game.

Fun game, tough loss. Photos and useless prattle here.

Man, the Dodgers are so close to being awesome. The pieces are all there. I can understand why Torre and co. are having such a hard time giving up on Jones (as much as I do enjoy booing the bum). The thought of a Dodger lineup with the real Andruw Jones would put fear into the hearts of the NL. How much would Torre love to be kept up at night deciding who should bat 8th; Martin, Blake, or Loney .

Kemp
Martin
Kent
Manny
Jones with his head screwed on
Garciapara
Blake
Loney

That's guarnateed offense.

Now about Brad Penny...

Funny: I was thinking the same thing while driving home tonight listening to the first couple of innings.

It's official, this season for the Dodgers has entered a death spiral.

Lost to the Nats. Shameful.

Good lord, I missed that one. Oh the humanity. Dogs sleeping with cat's can't be far off...

And to think I got excited about Maddux coming on board.

Granted, the problem lately has been with offense...

What a difference a week makes!

I LOVE watching the Dodgers right now. You gotta believe that they all have side bets with each other in the dugout.

Coincidence that things changed when Kent went down. I bet he's a freaking drill sergeant on that team. He's old, he hurts, and he wants a damn World Series. Torre seems to think that might have something to do with it:

All I know is that I just put my name into the mix for the opportunity to buy playoff tickets and wish Kent a relaxing, comfortable, stress-relieving, recovery. No rush. Big brother can come back for the playoffs when discipline's the thing.

Eight down followed by eight up. Wow
