Is this the worst game of the year so far?

For the Dodgers?

Obviously an awful start for Billinsgley, but it this the Dodgers worst played game overall this year?

by backtocali on Jul 10, 2009 8:06 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I doubt it

Surely there were some losses that weren’t even close.

Martin is more likely to hit a sac fly.

Bill Hall will be released by year end

Any team will be able to pick him up for nothing and the Brewers will have to pay whats left on his salary.

I liked Bill Hall

what a fall from grace ever since they tried to move him to CF he’s been crap even after they brought him back to the infield.

Hes had a very rough late June/early July

Hes not very good under pressure. As the closer he stunk this year before Hoffman came back, and about 3 times in the last week has given up games.

Nope

Last time was Sept. 18, 2006. Collins actually referred it as the “4+1” game. As you can imagine, Jon is giddy at the moment.

he was warming up

let him get some work!

Once he's fully warmed

He’s as good as used. Might as well throw the inning; you’re not really saving anything.

How Bison isn’t an All Star doesn’t make sense to me, and it never will unless they add him to team.

He is having the best position player season on the NL’s most dominant team, and yet we can’t send him to St. Louis.
