Turned on a stream of the game for 4 pitches in the top of the ninth and was bored out of my mind. Time Warner has ruined the Dodgers for me almost completely. Baseball used to be so entertaining. Now it's nauseating. Fuck Australia ruining opening day, fuck underachieving and fuck TWC.
dylanohernandez AJ Ellis on crowd reacting to #LAKings win: "We knew they weren't getting fired up over a Chone Figgins at-bat." Lol.
It is...the guy has a really good sense of humor. Now if he only could get a hit once in a while, he's be almost a complete stand up comedy/ first string catcher guy.
Is there a team that is more out of synch than the LAD? Now Kemp seems to be warming up a little (first HR in 90 AB), as does Hanley a bit, and Agon actually got an RBI last night....now Puig looks like Fedex up there. Damn. The Giants sign Morse, we sign Figgins. They sign Hudson, we sign Maholm. We sign Perez, they have anybody who isn't in the BP. Damn. I guess that's why we have great run production once or twice a week, then pretty much do a step above nothing as far as scoring for the rest of the week. Dodger pitchers, even if they are on their game, have to be lucky enough to catch the lineup on the occasional good night, or they are toast...ask Greinke. CK was getting clocked in the last inning he pitched...he got a bit lucky there, let's face it. I wonder if he told DBB "I'm going out there again or I'll punch your face in"?
To be fair, Haren was the comparable signing to Hudson, and I would have picked Haren to outperform Hudson. Sometimes the "smarter" move doesn't work out.
@BillShaikin: #Dodgers lineup vs #Diamondbacks: Gordon 2B, Ramirez SS, Puig RF, Gonzalez 1B, Kemp LF, Either CF, Ellis C, Rojas 3B, Haren P.
