The Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles Bleedin' Blue Thread

**cough**

 

Matt Kemp finally showed up

 

*cough Cough*

Need a cough drop?

 

Oh I would say that the fate of the NBA West is FAR from being over Sam

I still like the chances of the Suns in a series against your lakers..

 

Only if Bynum's still out, even then, we fared pretty well against the Suns w/ Shaq. It's killing me that they keep moving back, then moving up, and then moving back his timetable.

 

Hopefully we don't bring in Trevor any more this series. He just doesn't have his stuff. Good game last night brothers.

 

Good game bro's. Congrats. I can't watch any more. I am tired of seeing the back of Edmonds jersey going after fly balls. I miss Cameron. Young shoul have been pulled. No excuses, you guys are the better team tonight.

 

Anyway I went to the game last night. Had really good seats in section F11. Chris Young sure looked like he had nothing, and not being able to field the Derek Lowe grounders was weak.

Also sitting in the first deck at Chavez Revine is nice, but there are still lots of irritaing factors there. To get into the 1st deck you have to enter at almost the same location as the bleachers. Concessions are outrageous (Dodger Dog $ 5.00, Soda $ 5.00, cheapest beer $ 8.00). The parking lot is irritating, and you are not directed out to unfamiliar locations.

 

Been playing better lately, right NJ

 

Kuo had a great stretch in relief with 8 K's. If you ask me, he should be in the starting rotation instead of Loaiza.

 

Really? It is still early, but at this juncture, I would say there is NO blood deathmatch...

 

Furcal has been a pretty good FA.

 

I was thinking that right now, (Since you guys got shallacked by the Mets) it was actually 4...but who's keeping track..

 

Gotcha. So its not till Webby goes 8-0 after tonight that its 4...

Actually, I am REALLY stewpid. Its Micah Owings tonight....

 

I think the loss of batting coach Mattingly really affected Jones's play. If there was someone who could've fix Andruw's batting, it was him. I wouldn't mind keeping Nomar around though for some veteran presence, perhaps as a pinch-hitter. When healthy, he's a heady player and it's good to see a hometown guy like him on the roster. Likewise for Kent. I really want to see what Kershaw and Kuo can do for the rotation.

 

well once Mattingly gets things straightened out with his ex wife hopefully he will come back

 

When is Kershaw coming up?

 

That's my hope. But those things can turn nasty for a long time.

Rumors have it late in the season at the most. Dodgers have him limited in terms of innings pitched with the minors to keep him fresh by demanding him come in relief. And with Loaiza hitting the DL, Kershaw could debut, if called up, on May 17th. They'll call up Brazoban first though and Torre's still mum.

 

Funny column about Andruw Jones:

Looks like Chad Billingsley has recovered from a poor start. He's always had the K's, now he's got the control. Lotta high hopes on him and Kershaw. Add Kuo to the mix and we've got the pieces for a very deadly pitching staff for the future.

 

Posted it in the wrong thread

Sigh...just doesn't change does he...

 

Hey Dodger fans, whats up.

 

What's up. Looks like Park's going to get another stint as a starter. Really thought Kuo earned another shot but oh well.

 

Not bad. Heard we lost out in the Sabathia bidding though. But Billingsley is a true ace. We're first in the NL in ERA even before this game. Now all we need is some consistent offense...
