I'm guessing they take the next two from Cincy just to get our hopes up and then they get swept by the Cards.

This is going to be an ugly road trip.

Times like these are where the 3,000 mile buffer zone I have comes in handy. You would think we'd score a run by accident sooner or later--you know, someone throws a ball away or something, or we score on a DP ground out--but so far no luck.

Since I've converted to HD we are winless and I have not yet gotten a Dodger game in HD. NFL here we come---J!E!T!S!

Since i've come back home to LA, the Dodgers have been mired in this slump and i have refused to post in this thread until today.

Look you ****ers, you better ****en win today or i'm going back to Hawaii.

Ok carry on.

Can Hendrickson get into the 6th and allow less than 3 runs?
Will Kent be on the field to spark a fire under this teams A**?

Lets hope to god that Saenz isn't batting cleanup.

Joe Morgan: Well, they should have regretted it from the beginning. They've always needed a bat. They only have Jeff Kent as a slugger. They should have seen that a long time ago. I don't know why they didn't make a trade. They didn't want to trade their younger players. They'll just have to ride it out. They don't have enough offense to win the west.

KT: Current Standings, NL West, and # of runs scored for each team

1. Arizona - 467
2. San Diego - 477
3. Not-Enough-Offense-to-Win-the-West L.A. Dodgers - 506

I swear, Joe Morgan has never looked anything up in his entire life.

Pierre wins the game for us tonight, almost all by himself with his baseline antics. You heard it here first.

Let's Go Blue!!!!!!!

Finally, Kemp and Ethier in the starting lineup.

At least Pierre will be out of the way once the big leaguers come up. No longer do I have to watch him fail to advance Furcal. He should be hitting in the 8 spot. Maybe the bench. Actually he should be sucking it up for the Giants and making them worse for the next 4 years.
