    Will or will it not keep me out of the DSP Hall of Fame. I think I'd like to know that before answering, oh and I'll need a lawyer.

    That you did, I personally think you guys overpaid but I envy a team running a team like a billion dollar industry (like the Yankees are but still scream poverty over the luxury tax).

    Burch & FYOUK,

    I have to admit that the 'uber rich owner' shoes are a poor fit for we peasant Dodger fans... give us a few more years to ummm oh yeah WIN and after having done so let's say.. ummm a dozen times, then 'maybe' we'll better understand how the world feels about the damned Yankees trolls.

    In the meantime we're spending it like there is no bottom to the checkbook which alone is very odd... until we get ourselves a ring or two.

    And don't be so gauche as to point out that we'll need at least 27 of them to truly be as big of pricks as Yankee fans. We know.


    still... after the first new ring I'm gonna have to taper back on the damned Yankee theme... but only after we win it all at least once

    I know I am simply being lumped in here but I don't think I've ever, here or on my blog, mentioned the whole "we have 27 rings and we're so much better than you" and "you need to learn how to spend money" monikers. Actually, in all honesty, I don't think I've ever been a prick to anyone on this site, especially you, but that's okay. Lump me in. I can take it.

    Not sure how I am being a troll but to answer your question, no. I'm not amused in the slightest. I wish I was though, any ideas?

    Dude rest easy... I'm not claiming that YOU were a prick nor anything of the sort.

    I'm attempting to explain how the rest of the planet has had to deal with Yankee fans as trolls... forever... around the world. Sort of like arrogant Manchester United soccer fans.. or entitled USC Trojan football fans... but worse

    It isn't that YOU said anything about the 27 goddamned rings... you don't have to .. we ALL already know it.. and every other damned Yankee fan is happy remind anyone that will listen.

    And worse... they are right. And we have been stewing jealously for decades. Jealous and broke. So there was nothing to be done. Now we Dodger fans are finally in the rarified air of having our big new GG daddy be able to spend like Steinbrenner did for years. And we've got a long ways to go to close that Ring gap... so that we too can be reviled as you are. Admit it no one takes crack shots at losers, but the Yankees have won one out of four rings IN THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL!

    But you personally? Nah I've always had you treat me with class... so don't take it personal... damned Yankee. :duck:

    I am in the same boat as you believe it or not. I hate the "we have 27 rings bitches" crowd. Makes any intelligent conversation impossible and it makes me look bad because I choose to rock the interlocking NY on my head. It makes what I am trying to do that much harder. There are, unfortunately, more casual fans who didn't know 10 players on the team last year that scream up and down about the history then there are real fans.

    Side effect of winning at all costs I guess, you get GREEDY :)

    True true true Mr. Burch...

    And it appears that what EVERY new Dodger fans wants is to replicate that "27 rings chant" exactly.

    Personally I'd be delighted to win more than once in 25 years...
    If we could be contenders and win a ring once a decade that would be better.

    Not really because now we have to suffer the abuse of all the Bay area faggots who have won 3 rings in 5 years


    You think Yankee fans are insufferable try listening to vaGiant fans ... :smh:

    He is a number 4, if the yankees can get their rotation to stay healty, he would have be our #6 and we have other needs to address.

    It was nice to see a guy with a career era around 4 put up a 2.89 for a couple months but I don't think his time in NY is indicative of what the dodgers should expect.

    no, he's the Dodgers' #4. he was the best starter goin for the Yankees when they were pushing for the playoffs in '14. sad.



    Lol riiiiiiight. and if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass when he jumps.



    Yanks' starting rotation still looks rather weak. when does Brett Gardner het his Ellsbury-like 150M dollar deal? :rofl:

    Our rotation was decimated with injuries, he was brought in as an expiring contract to help fill a hole. We simply do not have a job for him as these guys are under contract. Do I expect they will stay healthy next summer? No but I'm hopeful because when healthy they are pretty damn good. Mc Carthy is #3 on most teams but lets not act like you stole a cy young contender from under us with a long history of health himself.





    Injury prone yes but they're pretty good.
    He was extended last winter for 4/52 so we won't be talking contract until 2018. By then you guys can probably have him to eat the salary currently being taken by crawford
