FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - It's been a turn for the worse in Torre's first year

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:32:41 +1900

Extra BP? A few more pregame hours in the video room surveying a wayward pitcher's arm slot? Who needs any of that when you're living a life of green fields, blue skies, and late-arriving crowds, and when you're working a comfortable 3,000 miles away from the angry House of Steinbrenner? One hundred games into his fifth big-league term, Torre has settled into the Dodger way like an old man ...

New York Mets in 1st Place - Hard to Argue?

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:20:26 +1900

I thought Willie Randolph had the stuff to be a manager - he watched Torre for many years and was a baseball lifer. But it's impossible to argue with the turnaround of the Mets after his departure.

If Only Joe Had A Brain

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:59:24 +1900

Despite the fact that Juan Pierre has had ample time as a Dodger (1026 Plate Appearances) to prove how worthless he is to the team, Joe Torre seems hell-bent on having him leadoff anyway. "'He doesn't give us the power that Kemp gives us, but he knows how to lead off,' Torre said of Pierre." Well that's just dandy then isn't it? If that...

Clayton Kershaw Gets A Second Chance At The Bigs

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 09:47:51 +1900

Yeah, it was probably just a lucky guess, but Kershaw is getting called up as I predicted earlier. "Clayton Kershaw will be promoted to start Tuesday night's game against the Rockies, part of what could be a busy 10 days of Dodgers roster moves leading up to the Trade Deadline. This time, said Torre, he expects Kershaw to stay in the starting rotation, perhaps for a decade or so if...

Torre says if Pierre's rehab goes well, he will rejoin the big club either Saturday or Sunday. Joe was very non-committal on how the outfield will shake out at that point. What was interesting was that while Joe did say...

So How About Dem Bums?

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:57:17 +1900

I just finished re-watching the 9th inning of the game last night, and it was a truly ridiculous comeback, especially when you consider how anemic the offense has been this year. I think my change from despair to elation was similar to the back-to-back-to-back-to-back home run game (with the Nomar walk-off, of course) against the Padres two years ago. No, nothing will probably ever compare to...

Dodgers sign utilityman Ozuna | Dodgers.com: News

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:28:00 +1900

PHOENIX -- Having expanded their deadline search to include a third baseman and with manager Joe Torre saying he expects the club to be "active" in the coming 10 days, the Dodgers' announcement Sunday was admittedly only an incremental upgrade. They signed utilityman Pablo Ozuna, who was released by the Chicago White Sox three days earlier. He'll replace rookie utilityman Luis Maza, who was ...

Don Mattingly Is A Miracle Worker But The Kids Still Suck

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 14:53:22 +1900

Last night, the Dodgers' hitters were so inspired by Don Mattingly's mere presense that they decided to stop sucking. God only knows what he said to all of them before the game, but he should do it before every game. I would imagine his speech to the guys was something along the lines of, "STOP BEING A BUNCH OF SINGLE HITTING PRISSES AND HIT THE...

PHOENIX -- It was a gut-wrenching decision, but I agreed to take a family vacation again, passing on the RV for long airplane rides, which explains why I'm with the Dodgers now in serious need of comic relief -- the vacation's not supposed to end until next week.
