Man this rally is such a great idea! I wish it was on Saturday though, instead of Sunday. I won't be able to make the commute from SB with the work day tomorrow. Hope you all can represent!

>>2. WE KNOW WE'RE FANTASY IRRELEVANT
"We don't rack up the stats that help fantasy teams, and that doesn't bother me. But it does make it funny when fans shout, 'You're on my fantasy team! Throw me a ball!' " It's like, c'mon. We both know I'm not on your team."<<

I dunno if that's such a good idea. I know it is bound to happen, but I loved DeWitt's defense this month. Ah well.

This is the flip side of making the playoffs with NedCo. Grr!

It's a slow day today...

in all seriousness, there's no way it's Lambo.

Remember, just because a team asked for the moon doesn't mean they will be given the moon or a different moon, even with NedCo at the helm. Otherwise, he'll be mooned.

That is what I am telling the cops.

Casey Blake was a starting 3rd baseman who could be traded anywhere and we paid the price to get him and not pay his contract.

Greg Maddux would only agree to be traded to us. We had a ton of leverage and if Ned did not use that leverage and it resulted in a top 5 pick getting traded for a 5 inning pitcher then I'd pitchfork Ned myself, but I'm comfortable with the idea that they will get two pitchers who we probably won't miss but if we do it will only because they are pitching in Petco.

Typical Dodgers fan talking to Jesus...like he cares about baseball. :-)

25 True, but don't you think White sees that Ramirez is in a different stratosphere of value than Maddux? And while I'm sure he liked LaRoche he probably had his own doubts about him at that point. I think he adores Lambo, from what I've read. Yes, I could be wrong.

Thus, the baseball bats.

I guess I was also wondering if Brad was asking for something that is not normal...to know before the season whether or not the option would be picked up. Who knows what happened behind closed doors, but he seems to be acting like a child about this.

But, come to think of it, that was a big inning, and He kept it up for a few more too, huh? He deserved the Seventh Inning stretch.

Cubs or Phillies?

48 A lot of discussion on it in previous thread. He sounds like he's frustrated, with himself and with the team and despondent and not wanting to be around the playoff atmosphere. It's sounding like his big option won't be picked up due to his horrible year and he won't acknowledge that it's in large part his own fault for playing hurt long before saying anything. Either that or it's Eliza Dushku's fault.

For whom are we supposed to be rooting...?

I want this because I'm that kind of a guy.

He reeled one off very like it against the Stros a couple starts ago.

Or is it some don't want to face them in a short series because you think Dempster, Harden and Zambrano can shut us down?

If the choice is Cubs or Phillies for the first round. Both are very good teams but I think we match up well with both of them. But, if we're going anywhere in October we're probably going to have to face both of them. That's why to me it doesn't matter. The question becomes who do you think the Dodgers can beat in a shorter series?

Short of that, the Mets, though I think they're gonna choke and miss the playoffs altogether.

Okay, off to get ready for the Dodgers-Giants game! Wish us luck. Will report back here late tonight.

Cheers.

Would Pierzynski be liked as a player for any team except the White Sox? I suppose Mets fans would like him.

Do you see where I'm going with this?

It is probably better than having him at second.

But, the Cubs have officially announced their rotation for the NLDS, in this order:

Dempster, Zambrano, Harden, and Lilly.

I connected it to baseball. I think that's ok.

I want to know if they are pro-Manny with long hair or anti.

And who I should take with the 8th pick in round 5 of my fantasy basketball draft. Turkoglu, Bynum, or Maggette?

Oh, right that doesn't matter anymore.

12-3 Yankees.

Hehehe.

hey ScareDuck so what's the scoop on the Cubs man, should we be scared?

Those monsters! We got more important things!

Travesty, I tells ya!
