Deja-Fucking-Vu all over again.





Worst weekend ever? Hell, one of the worst road trips I can ever remember, as far as crushing losses go. Don't forget, only four days ago Ludwick destroyed our night and started all of this mishugas.
My friends, to be a Dodger fan in the modern era is to be one who endures hideous suffering, albeit not as bad as our Brooklyn brethren, but very very close. Most teams simply lose games, but our losses are mortifying, almost a cosmic masochism to watch and endure. Year after absurd year, coaching staff after coaching staff, owner after owner, the results seemingly the same: a team in love with the idea of being at .500. It must be against some Dodger Way to actually move out of this self defining and self limiting team identity.
The absolute definition of average are the modern Dodgers, not lousy, not great, just simply good. Nothing really wrong with that, it is just what it is, in the end.
Hats off to the mean, and I don't mean the Gods.
The Los Angeles Dodgers: it is what it is till it isn’t.

Well put. "It is what it is till it isn't." At least the Dodgers are interesting to hear about. I wish my team were fighting for the division. Orlando Hudson is gone for the year which would be like the Dodgers losing Ethier.

It seems that the pitching is failing the Dodgers. I don't know what they can do about it now because some of the 51's don't seem to be ready.c

Oh, well. The Cincinnati Abortions just traded Adam Dunn to the Diamondbacks for two boogers and a dead Mexican.

Fuck you! They didn't trade Dunn to the Snakes! You gotta be fucking kidding!

I think the Dodgers will get somebody else off the waiver wire, maybe Maddux or someone.

Maddux? Didn't he come here before? Why, oh why did we get rid of him?
