Blah blah Red Sox whatever. Will A-Rod be a Dodger? - Page 7

Oh yeah, forgot about Lowe. He's actually been pitching very well but that's gotten lost as he's been a victim of no run support. But his last 4 games have been really impressive. If he and Kuroda can keep that up, that helps. Still need at least one more consistent front-line starter though.

Ghoulish Delight · 07-10-2008, 03:03 PM

Bloody hell. I post that only to see that the rumor is the Dodgers are looking to trade Lowe for a shortstop?!?!

How does that make any sense. Sure, they've lost Furcal for the season. But they've got Nomar, Maza, and even Berroa is threatening to get his average up over the Mendoza line. With DeWitt and LaRoche acting as more than adequate 3rd base options, they've got plenty of flexibility at SS.

Does the offense need a boost? Hell yes. But there isn't a player out there that's going to get this Dodger offense better than mediocre, they are going to have to rely on pitching from here on out. I don't see how trading your most consistent pitcher away for a position player that you've already got 3 options for improves your team.

Stupid Dodgers.

This is probably as good a time as any to sell my Bobby Murcer bat.

More seriously, it's always a drag when the golden boys of my childhood move on.

Good for Torre for standing up for his man.

Boo hiss to the crowd for sitting politely watching Ethier pop out. Did the place fill with Angels fans for the evening? WTF. It's the Giants, the Dodgers have put on a clinic of relief pitching and have climbed their way into a game that looked over half way through the 4th inning, and the manager just got tossed. That stadium should have been roaring on that 2-2 pitch, what the hell?! It's the GIANTS people, make some bloody noise!

Oh, and let me add, that's gotta be one of my favorite Vinny ramblings I've heard. "...and an expert in fertilizer." Bless you Vinny.

That was frickin' hilarious. "And he has switched from horse to bull fertilizer."

Heh, seems I'm not the only one who noticed the comatose crowd:

Almost makes me miss Barry. At least he always elicited some freaking emotion from the crowd, even if it was retarded emotion.

Almost.
