The Dodgers actually distracted me from that atrocious Kings game tonight.
Yay.

LA HAS to get 6+ inning quality starts more consistently.
Some more power in the lineup would be nice. I have feeling one of Martin, Loney or Furcal won't be back next season. You just can't keep all three of those bats in your lineup every night when you're also playing the current version of Manny every game. I don't see Manny or Furcal going anywhere, so moving Martin or Loney or both for more offense is one way to shake this team up.Quote:

Game 1: Oct. 7, STL @ LA
Game 2: Oct. 8, STL @ LA
Game 3: Oct. 10, LA @ STL
Game 4*: Oct. 11, LA @ STL
Game 5*: Oct. 13, STL @ LA
Who is the real Russell Martin? What can we count on him for next season? Will he ever find his stroke?Quote:
