    Because Magic has pull. :whyme:

    Why do people keep thinking Magic Johnson runs shit? He's a face. Mark Walter and Stan Kasten are the people running the team. Magic is just there to look pretty.

    It was looping liner that knicked off his glove. Right before that was a grounder up the middle that Gordon got a glove on. Then boom. Scripted.

    i don't think he runs shit..i'm saying if you wanna make noise and make sure Ned's job security is looked at..you can indeed blow Magic Johnson's Twitter page up and he's a win-aholic. he'll make it an issue with the baseball people..if it isn't already.

    It's obvious as shit Ned has to go....he made the team worse somehow at the deadline when we desperately needed pen help and another starter. In the end, our lack of relief pitching for innings 7-8 lost us a playoff series. He's terrible

    Tigers and A's may have flopped, but they made aggressive moves to improve their team. Giants added Peavy, Royals added Willingham, Nats added Cabrera, O's added Miller. All the contending teams made moves to improve their roster and our GM added two of the worst SP in the MLB and a mediocre utility infielder

    of course there are other ways to reach out to the Dodgers through Twitter as well. fans can be as loud as they need to be these days. it's not like the olden days. there has to be legitimacy behind the talk though.

    Lots of emotions running here and I get it, but heres the reality.

    We lost this series in game one and we lost soley because kershaw and a shit pen.

    Im not a don fan but I really dont blame him at all for the result of this series.

    I laugh at those saying he should haven taken kersh out today. Yeah those same people would have been yelling for his head when our pen blew another game.

    I know we all like to micro manage at times but sometimes the answers are simple. Scout and get guys in the pen you trust. Aka ned needs to go.And well kershaw has to get over the playoff demons. Thats really all what it boils down to.

    This team is talented enough to win it all next year as is with just pen upgrades and kersh finally getting shit done.

    only thing i can think of is maybe Boston was tryin to rape us in trade talks, but that's no excuse either because we have these overpaid bums like League and Wilson in the pen with Colletti's name on them.

    I pray that Ray Rice a Dodgers fan.

    Ned will go first. I just hope they give a new GM the choice over Dum Dum. Perhaps Girardi will be let go and open the door out there for Dum Dum.

    I would actually like a swap. Yankees can have Dum Dum and we get Girardi. After his comments about a lack of effort from some Yankee players I can only hope.

    shit is still so unreal to me..putting up a 2 spot on a rookie. Lol oh, but the Cards can put a 3 on Kershaw..no prob. our offense is ass. doo-doo. this franchise needs to get back to the basics..leaving guys stranded on 3B with 1 out ALL FUCKIN YEAR because guys can't make contact. of course it comes back to haunt them. time to shed some of this " superstar " shit and Hanley is 1st to go..Crawford after him.

    With the remaining field, I thought we'd definitely beat anyone in a 4 out of 7 game series. Shit will take awhile to get over...

    pathetic scores considering who STL had on the mound..with all due respect to those Cards' arms. LAD offense sucks.

    Our offense on the road in the playoffs continues to be shit, and it's also a reflection of our middle relief. Andrew Miller would be my #1 priority

    and maybe even David Robertson too, depending on what the Yankees do - if they give him a qualifying offer, that is.

    And maybe I am delusional as hell, but it's time we add a bat like Stanton. Idgaf what it takes, but this lineup is missing that consistent power source to carry the way. Agon is nice, but at this point in his career, he shouldn't be our most consistent hitter.

    I just want to say that Josh Willingham sucks balls now.

    not delusional, but Stanton will have to push for LAD for it to happen..which is possible. he's about to get paid this winter one way or another and it's gonna be a big payday. MIA is bluffing with that arbitration talk..Stanton wants his big money now just like Trout. if he doesn't get it he'll leave MIA after next year..which he's likely looking to do anyway because he slays their front office's decisions in the media at least once a year.

    i'd do Puig for Stanton straight up. attach CC to the deal and kick in 30M. Pederson in CF, Stanton in LF and Kemp in RF. Hanley out..JJ Hardy in on a 3yr deal to cover our bases if Seager really is a 3B and Arruba sucks. Arruba can back Hardy up in the meantime. Hardy's the 2nd best defensive SS in the game today..need that.
