Thats not happening.

So the Dodgers are what they are.
Be interesting if Ned panics if team falls behind that far between now and July 31st.

I don't think so, there not balanced enough & i feel like there gonna make a ton of rookie mistakes, maybe i'm biased & naive. plus i don't think they have the pitching for the long haul.

if your talking about the next few years then I think your more than right. It should be fun watching the Dodgers vs D-Backs in the next few years.

Webb's an ace.
Davis/Hernandez are average.
Owings is a rookie---could be good or bad.

RJ's been pitching pretty well this year.
47ip 61ks 8bbs.
If he and Webb hold up, they could be really good.

I'm not worried.

I will need to dye it white in parts.

And those guys are younger than me.

Can someone please plant something on Pierre so we can void his contract, please???

Sorry for those who can't make it - will miss you.

And now, some linkage for everybody!

22 - Perhaps more importantly, will the draft be over by then?

He has us taking Beavan.

I'm going someplace else next Summer.

Compare that to the World Series and the Stanley Cup Final which are far more wide open.

The NBA Finals are usually like the Super Bowl except played over a longer period of time, but without annoying halftime shows.

There goes one wish.

In hockey, I think it's because a hot goalie can control a series.

Remember that certain commenters here hate the baseball playoffs and think we're all idiots for watching them.

But the NBA playoffs are the superior entertainment format!

1 There should not be a problem filling any ticket requests.

LA Times reports that Elbert will be out 8-10 weeks which would make his return around the end of the minor league season if the estimate is accurate.

And yes, I was the one who asked Tony Jackson about Elbert and reminded him today but it sounds like they were going to announce this anyway.

Sunday you get to kill me for casting Richard Benjamin as BH. I'll call you tomorrow.

Bob did not like Mort Sahl. Not one bit.

Jackson has been on them about being more patient and implied in his blog that Eddie Murray is not the most popular guy in the clubhouse and reminded folks how Murray was fired in the middle of the season when he was the batting coach in Cleveland.

Jackson further adds that Mike Easler, batting coach for Vegas is popular and Bill Robinson, the organization's hitting instructor was Pierre's coach in Florida when he had one of his "good" years.

Jackson also added in his Daily News story that Matt Kemp is doing well and could be a replacement for the underperforming Pierre.

I will say this, though Grady is more patient with veterans, he also does seem willing to make changes if he has the personnel to make them with.

She is generally considered good looking. Here's a glamour shot:

The Dodgers haven't figured a way to correct it, but they are convinced Juan Pierre's offensive problems are primarily the angle of his bat during the swing, which leads to far too many fly balls for a player whose primary skill is running speed.

Little was asked if he was disturbed by Pierre's 0-for-4 on seven pitches Tuesday night, if he had spoken to Pierre about it and if Pierre was receptive to suggestions. Little answered "yes" three times.

"He knows he's got to be better," Little said. "He wasn't seeing many pitches the other day when he had four extra-base hits. The angle of his bat isn't right. Anyone's job at the top of the lineup is to get on base and score runs. He knows he's been better in the past and needs to be better now. He was out here early trying to make it better and that's all we can do."
