Los Angeles Dodgers at St. Louis Cardinals Game Thread (August 5 - 8)

I hope the team cries a lot less than you.

 

still no word on Hanley, huh? it must be bad

 

So you disagree that Hanley out of the lineup doesn't hurt our chances of winning?

 

I didn't say you can't be both, I said that it is really annoying that they become an idiot after a losing streak. You see, the point is if you complain about something all the time and there is at least some validity to it, that is fine. IMO, when we start losing and the world starts to fall apart and everything sucks ass, that is ridiculous.

Other than the fact that he has the chance to become one of the greatest players to wear Dodger blue, I don't get the Jeter comparison. Are you saying he is over hyped, paid too much, adored too much, all of the above?

I don't think Greinke is a piece of shit, I thought and will continue to think his contract sucks...I think we overpaid. I hope I am wrong and the guy is a stud, but I think even over the course of the next 3 years, he is going to be a 3.75 ERA type pitcher, not worth the money IMO.

You are right, I will tone down the name calling, but to tell me that you don't see the passive-aggressiveness in here and that I am imagining this attitude towards is nuts. I will start to point it out to you so you can see it. Hell a good example is when you write things out in detail, say your opinion and people respond with "no, that is wrong lol". That to me is chicken shit attitude and I will call it how I see it.

By no means do I think I am constantly being attacked, but it is definitely clique-y around here and I don't stand for that. I will point out scenarios like this as they happen.

Not questioning anyone's loyalty, just said that I am sometimes loyal to a fault. Doesn't make me or you better or worse.

Don't get this too much, feel free to elaborate.

It just gets tired sometimes and since I think we are likely going to hit a stretch here soon where we lose 7 of 10 or something like that, I just want people to have a bigger perspective of the team and what they are capable of. I rather have a board that analysis problems rather than think the sky is falling.

 

Oh yeah it does but I don't think it's as big a deal as you seem to...but I hope the team doesn't think so as much as you do. They need to feel confident as fuck!

Dodgers source says Hanley Ramirez shoulder injury "is better today" so no MRI for now. He is "still sore however."

 

God fucking damn, this is a Dodger board. NOBODY comes on here to read or post about you. I appreciate the posts, comments and analysis people provided by everyone but why is this shit in the fucking game thread?

I hate moderation but for the love of God, could a mod remove all this ego-ridden, pathetic shit to a fucking off topic thread or a special BLF thread because he's oh so important? This is a disgrace. We are miraculously in first place, yet looking like the biggest losers on the planet. Clean this shit up or it's not worth even posting here. I would rather enjoy the game in my own company than dodge this shit daily.

 

Said the same thing in the Hanley thread. Why not get one?

 

It really makes no sense, it's not like if they do and see something they have to put him on the DL, they can still wait a day or two and do it retroactively.

 

I know.

Just trying this whole optimism thing out.

 

We're just going to need Crawford/A-Gon/Puig/Ethier to step up.

 

I hope we win these games.

 

Oh lord part 2....

The only thing good about dee getting called up is that Irish can bring back skinny swag fag in the picture thread. That's about it

 

Does anybody have 1 of those badass streams for this game?

 

Dee is back! :woot:

 

I might need to buy another TV. How am I supposed to watch Shark Week and Dodgers at the same time? #1stWorldProblems
