As Brewers play for present, Dodgers wait for future to arrive - Los Angeles Times

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 02:45:05 +1900

You can live off the past for so long, and then you're just selling history. In Milwaukee, the past is 1982. Those Jim Gantner bobblehead dolls are cute, but every nod reminds you that the Brewers haven't won since 1982. "It's nice to unlock your tradition," Brewers owner Mark Attanasio said, "but you'd like some of your own to celebrate." So Attanasio, in his third year, decided to play for ...

Mike Scioscia Exhales Carbon Dioxide and Gaseous-Form Winning

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 13:09:42 +1900

It's tough being Bill Plaschke these days. His man Ol' Snakeskin Boots Colletti is running the underperforming Dodgers, Pencilneck DePodesta having long been run out of town on a Plaschke-sharpened rail. Can Bill bring himself to admit that some of Bootsy's moves have been questionable at best? Well, no, not yet. You see, losing isn't about the players. It's about the air in the clubhouse . ...

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 23:32:00 +1900

Injuries, as always, are playing their part in trade-market dynamics, and this summer is no exception. The Marlins lost catcher Matt Treanor to a lower abdominal strain on Monday night, and the Dodgers, with Rafael Furcal on the disabled list, continue to shop for a shortstop.

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 15:14:27 +1900

Shortly after the Milwaukee Brewers finalized a trade for reigning American League Cy Young Award winner CC Sabathia on Monday, the Daily News learned that sometime in the days leading up to that deal, Dodgers owner Frank McCourt nixed a trade that would have brought Sabathia to Los Angeles, along with Indians third baseman Casey Blake and utility man Jamey Carroll. McCourt's reason was ...

Baseball immortality doesn't guarantee a statue - Los Angeles Times

Mon, 7 Jul 2008 05:32:06 +1900

Just being great and retired doesn't guarantee a baseball player has the mettle for metal. Cal Ripken Jr. played in 2,632 consecutive games for the Baltimore Orioles, yet baseball's ironman has never been cast in bronze. Nor has legendary Dodgers left-hander Sandy Koufax, and that rankles San Diego freelance writer Howard Cole, whose edgy Dodgers-focused website, baseballsavvy.com, has been ...

Andruw Jones Back in Mid-Season Form

Mon, 7 Jul 2008 13:02:00 +1900

Just like Andruw Jones to go 0-for-5 with 4 strikeouts in his first game back from injury. I saw the numbers both he and Nomar put up in their rehab stint together, and I thought it was encouraging. Now, (finally) I’m beginning to come around and admit it was a horrendous signing even though I was originally for it . This guy is more clueless than Raul Mondesi at the plate. He ...

Kemp, McDonald, Hu For Wilson; Phillies Target Lowe

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 05:13:06 +1900

Somebody please tell me this rumor is some kind of huge joke on me. "Multiple baseball sources said Sunday that the Dodgers and Pirates are in serious talks about a trade that would ship Wilson west. A Dodgers source indicated that Los Angeles might be willing to deal center fielder Matt Kemp. The 23-year-old right-handed hitter, who has both power and speed, is considered a potential...

Prospect Profiles 2008: Tony Abreu

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 05:10:45 +1900

Overview-Abreu is a prospect that the Dodgers have been monitoring for a while, and he finally got a shot to play in the big leagues last year. He played decently well in his limited role and was expected to fill the utility spot for the Dodgers going into the 2008 campaign. Those plans were sidetracked, however, when Abreu reported to Spring Training still not feeling right after having...

The LA Times: The Dodgers are in an awkward spot, waiting for the kids to succeed, antsy for the kids to succeed. They wouldn't trade Matt Kemp for Sabathia, the right call, and Kemp alone would not have gotten the deal done... Ned Colletti, the Dodgers' general manager, would not discuss specific players but said he could not have completed a deal without disrupting the major league ...

SAN FRANCISCO - Russell Martin won't be a wide-eyed first-timer. He won't be a starter. He won't be among teammates. Despite all that, though, the Dodgers' catcher was just as excited to make his second consecutive National League All-Star team as he had been to make his first. "He was very proud," said Dodgers manager Joe Torre, who delivered the news. "His eyes lit up. Every club has to be ...
