Huh? What season?

If Torii Hunter gets in trouble for wagering that Hideki Matsui wouldn't hit a triple this season, shouldn't MLB follow through and invalidate all of the performance bonus clauses in players' contracts?

No surprise there. Mattingly was ready to walk away from the Dodgers before this season to take a manager job, when he stayed I figured it could only mean that Torre had promised him he'd hand the team over after this season.

Bummer for Torre to end on this stinker of a season.

Considering the miraculous work Mattingly has done with our hitters this season, I'm sure he'll be just spiffy as a manager (with no experience.) Meanwhile, as an added bonus, we'll probably lose Tim Wallach just like we lost Scioscia.

I did quite enjoy hearing that Peter O'Malley came out of the woodwork to rip the McCourts a new one today in the press. I miss him.

We had been doing so well, especially after the Fox nightmare.

Matthew and I got to say hello to Tommy Lasorda at the game last night. We were waiting for an elevator and, when the door opened, he was standing right in front of me. Flustered, I managed to spit out "Hi Tommy!" and he smiled and said hi to both of us, then was quickly on his way. Turned out, he was headed to the field to be honored in a ceremony.

Absolutely the highlight of an otherwise forgettable season.

Very cool! I saw some of the game last night. It looked like you and Tommy pretty much had the place to yourselves.

Yep.

Susan will have the TV on when she is working around the house and will sometimes put the Dodger game on.

The IM I just received from her pretty much sums up what our season has been like:

"The Dodgers aren't losing yet"
