Even if that had happened, it would still have been wrong to boo Broxton. It's another good reason to think about equipping each usher with a cattle prod. My guess, though, is they were booing Grittle's decision to pull Penny, more than Broxton. Though I missed the end of the game, and could be wrong for any number of other reasons.

Even though I love Broxton as much as the next guy, I get a little tired of how he continues to be defended about the loss. It's not that big of a deal that he had a bad game (and yes, he DID have a bad game, regardless of the errors). Everyone has bad games. Who cares. Deal with it, and move on.

Last night's win was stellar. Let's keep the momentum up today.

there was scattered boos in my section.

my brother in law thinks Juan Pierre is a heck of a player.

There were planty of boos where I was sitting in the top deck.

If leaving in the 10th with my dozing wife and son for my 90 minute drive home is going to cost us some productive free agents, I apologize. I can't promise it won't happen again.

The code of the parent trumps the code of of the fan. :-)

"Planty of boos"? Now that's quite an image. I better poor another cup of coffee!

Come on, have we really entered into the world of softness and kindness for all at sporting events? Booing has always been the fans perogative. We pay to cheer the good and boo the bad. The booing was more likely the collective disaster that the prior night reeked on the dodger fan's soul. We were not in San Diego, so this was our release. It was a terrible way to lose.

But, Jon is right. Broxton wasn't to blame, rather a weak effort from the right side of the infield. (Not unlike the pop fly that Kent dropped.)

We got it out of our system. So I don't expect any more Broxton booing, barring a future meltdown.

I'm also annoyed that Nomar continues to get such a warm reception, such racuous cheers, even slightly more than Russ Martin. I'm not advocating that Nomar be booed. I just wish performance entered into this somewhere, because let's face it, that's what matters. Nomar may be a great guy, but then by that measure why doesn't Gonzalez get the loudest cheers? He is by most accounts an even greater guy and also playing a lot better than Nomar.

Also, the Dodgers have done their best to establish Nomar as the face of the franchise. You can't boo the face of the franchise.

Do you think Nomar believes he is having a great year or atleast an above average year?

Would he be satisfied with a 95+ rbi season or do you think he realizes he is falling off in other statistical categories?

RBIs: 10/40
OBP: 13/15
SLG: 15/15
OPS: 15/15

I was also somewhat surprised when I found that LuGo actually is having a better season than Nomar. Right now, that is until he starts going on a tear and bumps his avergae to above .300 or at least improves his RISP avg, I see Nomar as this brick wall with the name "Loney" written on it.

8 Will your brother-in-law still think he's a heck of a husband if he misses an anniversary or birthday? :o

Broxton shouldn't be coddled because he is young and helped muddle a win (cough, right side of the infield, looking at you), but as I said earlier, any other team would take him off our hands if he is this perceived problem. I hope he is a mainstay.
