Whatever happens over the next three games

Well said, Phil.

But let’s also not shy away from legitimate criticism. Getting down on the team for things outside their control is one thing, being annoyed as an armchair manager or at a particularly player’s approach is something else, I think. But I definitely appreciate the overall sentiment.

Purple Row has some great contributors, and they will be commenting here over the next three days. There’s no reason to get into a flame war with them; good-natured back and forth ribbing is fine, but no personal attacks please.

To paraphrase Sam Wyche, “You don’t live in San Francisco, you live in Los Angeles!” :)

You can count on my support, Phil. Let’s set an example by showing that Dodger Fans really can be the class of the NL West.

I’m one that wandered in from the Purple Row, and I read this, and thought it was very nice and appropriate. I find it amazing that it has to be said, but it does. Baseball, and sports, are entertainment. Sure as fans we hang on every pitch, every out, every call by the manager, but at the end of it, it’s just entertainment.

Or, in the words of my father from Oklahoma, “Son, you know what’s worse then a sore loser? A bad winner. Don’t be either.”

And I’ll be at the game tonight!

This series is going to be highly entertaining.

But perhaps more importantly, any outcome short of a Dodgers sweep probably won’t be the be all and end all of the race. Not with 37 games left. September is going to be very interesting.

I look forward to some more great baseball!

I agree with Phil and Eric. McCovey Chronicles has a very wity writer (Grant) but almost all the posters and mods are out of control. They attack anybody who posts over there from another teams blog, even if they aren’t trolling. They use the F-word in almost every post, especially when things aren’t going well. And like Eric said, if members from Purple Row come over and make a thoughtful post, we should welcome them and treat them with respect. If a troll shows up, let Eric or one of the mods take care of it. And most importantly enjoy the next three games, win, lose or rainout.

It’s an unpleasant experience to be at MCC, while TBLA is fantastic. I didn’t expect to like anything to do with the Dodgers, so good job beating down stubborn stereotypes!

I may be upset if things don’t go our way, but have to remember its out of our hands, if its meant to be its meant to be, and I’ll enjoy every bit of the ride

Nicely said.

That’s all I really care about.

Fuck yea great post! No need to flame those rocky supporting a..holes, they are not after all from San Franfuckingcisco.

If the Boys in Blue bring the bats then that will be all my swearing for the entire series, if not I will certainly attempt to direct my anger/disappointment inward instead of externalizing toward some poor Rockies fan.

win this series!!
and phils got a point
all those other teams out there would be envious of our position even if its a 3 game lead…

Mark Loretta ground out into a double play
Three Loney Ground outs per game
A Manny Pop out with runners on base
