    A win without a hit? May I quote Air Supply?

    FYI: Tickets on the cheap this week--for the marlins and Braves

    Reserve usually $16 will be $3
    Lower reserve usually $20 will be $6
    Infield reserve usually $28 will be $9
    and Field level usually $50 will be $18!

    The article i read says the tix are available on the Super Gruops page of tickets and the code to enter is TZOO-JULY.

    I assume you don't have to buy a huge amt of tix on the Super Groups but I am not sure....
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    the fact that the Dodgers can be close to first place with a sub-.500 record reminds me of the time I won a 3rd-place trophy in the punt/pass/kick competition...there were only 3 of us in my age group.

    Born on 3rd, thinks he got a triple!

    My first reaction was oh no, horrible trade.

    The more I digest it, the better I feel about it. The Dodgers are not giving up much. LaRoche was an OK prospect, but he has not performed, and has had many chances in LA. It was not the right fit for him. The minor league pitcher, we have the pitching we need, and that's not a huge sacrifice. The Red Sox pay Manny for the duration of 2008.

    We needed a bat. We got it.

    Sure, Manny's defense will be a little more suspect, but he is not a downgrade. His offensive numbers will be down from hitting at Fenway, but overall, I say this could work out.

    Yeah, I hear you. I know. It's taking a long time to rebuild this franchise after Fox ass-raped it. Step by step...

    I hate the Dodgers more than any other sports team, Giants fan here, but I'm impressed with their moves to get Manny and Blake.

    I'm excited about it. They really needed a big bat. The best thing is they didnt' give up anything big for him. I'm glad they still have Kemp.

    Giants sure put on a hitting display the last couple of games. What a joke that franchise is!

    In fairness, that's just bias, probably based on geography. No rational sports fan could like the Giants.

    In my mind, no rational sports fan could like the Dodgers. :p

    Nothing about who we root for is rational...

    Will Clark annoyed you guys; Steve Garvey annoyed us.

    You think Bonds was a dick; we felt the same about Mondesi and Sheffield.

    I liked Kent as a (productive) Giant; hate his ass in Dodger blue. I despised Candy Maldonado as a Dodger, but loved him in SF. I'm sure it works the same in for you guys.

    The minute Manny hits his first walk-off, you'll be loving him. You'll forgive his "Bondsisms" - the way he pimps his HR trots, his unwillingness to run hard, etc.

    I'm not hating, I'm just saying.... The Dodgers will be better and that's bad for us Giants' fans. Yes, the G-Men are beyond pathetic. A thread on the Giants couldn't generate a page worth of responses :mad:.

    Cut - I will now bow out of your thread. This trade threatens to disrupt my summer of blissful baseball indifference :p.

    P.S. I like how this guy :mad: is ORANGE!
