BTW, Mark, you owe me 1,100 push-ups. 100 for the attendance bet, another 1,000 for the Dodgers not winning the World Series.

We can start talking about what needs to be done any time, but being stuck with aging players like Ramirez and Blake will not help our situation. Yeah, Blake hit .280 with 17 HR and 79 RBI’s, not bad if you are a second baseman, but those numbers made him the 4th best 3rd baseman in the West and he was a non entity in the play-offs. We need more power from somewhere and I don’t know where we are going to get it. Ramirez is obviously no longer worth what we paid for him. It would appear he needs the drugs to do what he usta did. Loney, Kemp and Ethier are our core. I would keep Martin, but I don’t expect much out of him. Pitching? We need starters who can go deeper.

It wouldn’t have made a bit of difference in the outcome, but Orlando Hudson deserved more time in the play-off spotlight. He earned it and Joe didn’t give it to him.

And on and on and on………..

“Don’t treat me like an idiot. Please. I’m not the one overreacting like a moron.”

Yes, you are.

“Your assertion is that every pitcher needs a changeup?”

No. What I said was Broxton needs one. I stand by that. If he had a Gagne change up, or a Hoffman/Bell splitter to go along with that 99 mph fastball he would be unhittable. As you saw the other night throwing the same pitch the same velocity to hitters as good as the Phillies just doesn’t work.

“Broxton’s four seamer is harder to hit, period. Look it up.”

I just did. He threw it 11 out of 12 pitches and blew the biggest game of the year because somebody knew it was coming and hit it like a launched bazooka to the center field wall with no problem. Easy peasy.

I don’t know about all those other things you claim I would complain about. I did notice you signed off as God. Listen, I know God, and you ain’t him. Maybe in your own mind god with a small g?

You kind of got your panties in a bunch there god. You might want to reach up there under your dress and give them a pull.
