    Traitor.

    Will Clark should kick your ass for those comments.
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    Hey, I know. This is new territory. I just hate those fucking Cubs and their drunk, frat boy fans. I also can't risk the Giants moving into second place on the "Futility Meter." I'm just with the Dodgers for a week and then I'll go back to hating. I can totally understand your contempt for my position. :(

    At least the frat boys are loyal. A lot of the people at Dodger games are just there to be seen and don't care about the result of the game.

    If you're trying to make me feel like shit, it's working! :D I'm still going to sell my soul to the devil just to hope the Cubs are out early. The G-Men don't need to have the second longest drought in MLB. #3 is bad enough. If the Dodgers can pull an upset, I will be voo-dooing the crap out of them in the NLCS. And if they don't pull an upset, I can say "fucking Dodgers, I knew I couldn't count on them!" :D

    Once you go blue, you never go back!

    I don't know how you can cheer for the Dodgers. I couldn't even put a Giant on my fantasy team, not that they had anyone worth taking outside of Lincecum.

    I don't play fantasy but, if I did, I would adhere to a strict no Dodger rule! :D

    Just another reason to admire Jackie Robinson: when he got traded to the Giants; he retired! That's why we hold Jeff Kent with utter contempt :mad:. "Vin Scully shouldn't talk so much." :eek:

    But, I digress....for now, I'm on the bandwagon. Go Blue!

  • I can't believe I missed the anti-Giants discussion.

    imalive, welcome aboard! The Dodgers are a storied and classy franchise with a tradition of winning. Fox did their best to gut the franchise, but we are making strides now.

    We gotta win a SERIES!

    Wait. Hold on.

    What did he say that about Vinny? NO ONE talks smack about Vinny. I agree. Fuck him if he did.

    BTW, I met Vin Scully at the beginning of this season. One of the highlights of my life.

    Me: Mr. Scully, I am sorry to bother you, but can I just tell you that I am a huge fan of yours and have been listening to you since I was a little kid?

    Him: Oh, well bless your heart! (Shakes my hand!)

    I hadn't read that. Wow, Kent is really a pain in the ass. Vinny was 100% right. I give Kent credit for capitalizing on hitting in front of Manny, but he was getting a lot of straight fastballs there for a while. Give Torre credit for putting Kent in a spot. Kent is a veteran who knows what to do with a meaty pitch.

    Going home early to watch this game.

    By the way, lots of people overlooking the Dodgers on the Cubs thread and in general. They might be surprised. I hope.

    ALLRIGHT!!!! We're all here. Thought you'd all be late (like your arrival at Chez Ravine......oh shit, sorry!). Here we go....I've got my Dodgers hat on (not really :D) and I'm ready to "break this Series down."

    Derek Lowe really needs to pitch his ass off tonight. From what I hear, D Lowe's sinker is really working....he needs to keep it working. Game One is HUGE. If "we" can get Game One, I like "our" chances.

    Torre will out-manage Pinella. Lou is over-rated. He won a WS 18 years ago. BFD! His 116 win team in Seattle flamed out in the first round. He didn't do shit in Tampa. I hope he has those Cubbies "ready" like they were ready for AZ last year :D.

    BTW - how gay is "Cubbies"?

    What's up with Furcal? Is he ready to go? We need him. Is Saito 100%?

    Fukodome is pedestrian, at best. You can't let Soriano go off.

    A pox on Jim Edmonds! From what I understand, he's always kinda been a dick wherever he's gone. He's been playing OK but I'm looking forward to watching that big, theatrical follow through on Strike Three!

    VAMANOS DODGERS!!! Beat those goddamn Cubs!

    On baseball tonight, they said Furcal is leading off, Martin is batting 2, Manny is batting 3 and Ethier is batting 4.

    Furcal is a gamble, I think, but one Torre has the balls and knowledge to make work.

    Good.

    I hope Dempster was drinking last night. He was "with me" at the Vic in '07. He got all fucked up that night and went out and sucked, the following day :D.

    Cubbies In 3!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh man. You just jinxed yourself. I'd take that back if I were you.

    I love all the Cubs fans coming out of the woodwork. Even at UCSB (my alma mater). What the hell is this crap? Where you been?

    Yeah I don't even take it as a slight against Kent (what Vin and anyone with eyes said about him hitting in front of Manny). It's actually a compliment, saying Kent is going to hurt you if you have to throw him straight stuff in the strike zone.
