    Special thanks to the Marlins for having another one of their fire sales. At least this time the Dodgers were able to capitalize.

    Props to the Nationals for kicking the Marlins around this season, without their performance vs them, the Marlins probably don't sell. Thanks Nats!

    I haven't been this excited about Dodger baseball since we traded for that other Ramirez guy.

    That Ramirez turned out to be pretty good for us. I think this one will too!

    Is Choate a FA at the end of this season?

    Thanks. You show up from out of nowhere and HanRam becomes a Dodger on the very same day. Did you know this was going to happen? What other Magic (see what I did there?) did you bring with you?

    Haha. In all honesty I've been trying to get back on for a while now. Let me take a look at my tarot cards but I have a feeling we will be getting a starting pitcher real soon. Makes that 8-2 ass whoopin a bit easier to take huh?

    Still in disbelief. This is fucking awesome. Can't wait to hear quotes and to see him wearing Dodger blue and for Kemp to talk to him.

    By the way, Kennedy is going to the DL and with Eovaldi out, that's the two roster spots that Hanley/Choate take.

    I'm sure ESPN is pissed the Dodgers just got better and it kills them that they have to actually talk about it and report it on their lame network.

    Well guys...I'm fucking stoked! This motherfucker better wake the fuck up and realize he's on a winning team that has a goal. that goal is to win a championship. Hanley, get your head in the game and kick some serious ass!

    Now, the Choat part is just badass too...but it's boring lol...back to HanRam!

    OK, where will he play? On MLB earlier today, some of them were saying they think HanRam will want to move back to SS if he is traded. What do you guys think?
    I think he should play 3B, I would love it more if he went to 1B and Hairston played 3B. Him playing SS would be kind of cool since I'm not on the Gordon train, but can he be effective there anymore? It would also allow us to flip Dee off in a bigger trade for a big bat.

    This is so fucking awesome!

    I loved reading the Giant's fans posts on PSD. They are worried!

    I would assume he will bat 4th or 5th. Moving ethier might be a bad idea, so I suppose 5th is best and it breaks up the righties.

    Abreu/Hairston LF
    Ellis 2B
    Kemp CF
    Ethier RF
    HanRam 3B
    Loney/Rivera 1B
    Cruz SS
    Ellis C
    Pitcher

    Loney batting 6th still makes me throw up in my mouth...well Loney batting period really. Need to make one more trade to get Loney the fuck off this team.

    Donnie's predicted October lineup:

    Gordon SS
    Ellis 2B
    Kemp CF
    Ethier RF
    HanRam 3B
    Rivera 1B
    Abreu/Hairston LF
    Ellis C
    Kershaw P

    I'm trying to make this Ruve like long.
    Now that it looks like we have Zach Lee for a better trade...who will it be for?
    The other 3B Ramirez? Cory Hart? Flyin Hawian? Morneu? Kendrys Morales(I want him!)?
    Here we go...

    Victorino CF
    HanRam SS
    Kemp RF
    Ethier LF
    AmRam 3B
    Morales or Hart 1B
    Ellis 2B
    Ellis C
    Pitcher
    _______
    HanRam SS
    Ellis 2B
    Kemp CF
    Ethier RF
    AmRam 3B
    Hart LF
    Morales 1B
    Ellis C
    Pitcher

    Just kidding. fucking awesome trade!

    Hanley volunteered to play either position, will likely play SS until skinnyswag returns

    #2 is retired obviously...what # should Hanley wear? 5? Don't even ask Uribe. Just change Uribe's to 0.

    Well, that's cool. Unfortunetly, Cruz was doing better than Uribe with the bat. Hairston at 3B has been bad of late also. Hmmm, I think we are better with HanRam at 3B, we'll see.
