Rally or Whine? Your call

But we let him off the hook in the first inning when Furcal got doubled off of 3rd. I did not see the play, but that run lost was big.

The story was Bills tonight. He showed he should be back in the rotation.

We already clinched, Eric has already shown this whole Division wildcard thing is meaningless anyway. These are all a bunch of meaningless games other than to figure out when we show up if you have playoff tickets.

The Dodgers have work to do in the POSTSEASON and the goal is a WORLD Series victory.

is the attention being garnared from the media. These losses do not help the Dodges’ image, especially with a lot of people who already dislike them. It really gets to me.

#Dodgers Joe Torre on losing 3rd straight with chance to clinch NL West “what’s worthwile is worth the wait”

respect the beard

just we keep squandering opportunities to finish the jobs thats got me ticked off…

McCourt wouldn’t comment when asked about club officials’ remarks last winter that they would be measured in their spending on the free-agent market — payroll was cut from around $120 million to around $90 million — so that they could have increased financial flexibility at the trade deadline. The Dodgers added less than $3 million to their payroll this summer.

“I’m just not going to go there,” he said. “Our actions speak louder than any words I can have.”

McCourt also refused to talk about payroll plans for next season.

McCourt gotta be smarter than this. Your actions say you’re willing to trade high valued prospects for veteran players in order to get out of paying for them.

And the Dodgers responded with Tyler Houston for Ben Diggins. Jim Tracy just buried on the bench.

I’m not worried about winning the NL West. I think it’s still a “no brainer” that we will win it. I am just worried that we aren’t playing well, especially key members of both our offense and starting pitching staff and how it will effect us in the playoffs.

Nicely said, no beatin’ around the bush here.

It’s just like a sitcom where a character is getting ready to have something really wonderful happen to them, but it keeps getting delayed for some reason. Where this team will be in a week is where this team will be. I hope it’s better than where the team is right now, but I just want to get this division out of the way.

It seems healthy to get our frustrations out in this manner. I love it. I’ve no doubt that those who congregate here are devoted fans of this game and our beloved Dodgers. In the confines of True Blue LA the whine is appropriate. Of course, we have to keep that faith out on the streets or around the water cooler where we show our blue blood.
 “About the only problem with success is that it does not teach you how to deal with failure.” Source: The Artful Dodger (Tommy Lasorda) Tommy knew that a team must go “through” these times of failure to build up to success. In delving into all the possible reasons of “fail” and “let downs” of this team it strengthens and makes the next success so much better. So, here we go, buckle your seatbelts, keep your hands and feet inside the car and put your rally hat on. It’s going to be a wild ride! Go Dodgers!
