Dodger Bobbleheads in history
Recently, a Dodger fan on Twitter asked for a list of all the bobbleheads the Dodgers have given out over the years.
With Clayton Kershaw on the mound today and his bobblehead night coming up on May 17 (click here for tickets), we figured today is as good a day as any to research the question and provide an answer for @JoeChacon.

How about a Vin Scully bobblehead?
I think they probably wanted to do one for Vinny but, knowing the way he is, he probably said please don't.
How about a lot of EMPTY SEATS to cut Frank down at the knees (or a little bit higher)!
A Frank & Ned bobblehead would be nice…complete with a noose around their bouncy little heads 🙂
Or, perhaps, with flame throwing arrows as a needed accessory.
Kuo is back…Jansen sent to AAA.
Heaven forbid we DFA Cormier instead.
Should have been! But, then again, when do we ever do anything that makes sense?!
Pile it on Puds – this team stinks and doesn't deserve the few fans it has left.
I see the boys are up to their usual mischief again 🙂
Bear ~ just want you to know the seats are bare 🙂
What was the reasoning for bringing Navarro up and sending Ellis down?
Because Navarro sucks – its the Ned way. You can probably count on one hand the number of right decisions that Ned has ever made.
I can count on one finger, Mr. Ethier, as to a right decision by Ned 🙂
In fact, you can probably count the number of Ned's right decisions on one finger (if you know what I mean.)
Unfortunately, our "monitor" only has reign over finances and not personnel.
On the other hand, Ned has reign over stupidity.
I love the one finger salute!
Obviously Frank and Ned do too – they've been giving it to us for years now.
🙂 🙂 !! and, now we are giving it back to them!
Yes Vin, we are disappointed Andre didn't get a chance.
Yawn!! That was not good!!
Shit…1 – 14 with RISP!!!!!
Really playing some inspired ball today…
Even if Frank's forced to sell the team, Ned will still sell off more prospects at the trade deadline for washed up PVLs so that any new owners will truely start off with just about nothing. The way the roster and the farm have been laid waste, it'll take a new owner at least 5 years to rehabilitate it.
Make that the Terriffic Trio!
Josh, thanks for the list. One day I will compare to my collection. I know I don't have them all but I have a lot. I know I have the cherished McGriff and Brian Jordon dolls. Isn't that special?
Speaking of empty seats, we were at the game last night and I can report there were plenty of them. But I can also report how polite and friendly everyone is from the crossing guard in the lot to the police in and out of the stadium.
Hmmm… if they let Frank have his Fox deal and gave him back the team, how long do you think the pleasantries would last?
That's good to know lbirken!!! I would love to know your list of Bobbleheads.
It may take a while but I will compile my own list one of these days.
Take your time. It will be worth the wait! 🙂
I am afraid if Frank gets the deal and is able to keep control of the Dodgers, there will be even more empty seats although there really is no way to tell why attendence is down.
You brought up Brazo Wally – how about all the young arms that have been laid to waste by NedCo – Wade, Brazo, Tronco, Belli… Lindblom's been set back a couple years in his development trying to make him a starter down at AA, Mac… who am I forgetting?
Drum roll, please: 39,869
Paid attendance, I suppose (still don't know where they get the numbers) At the game, I'll bet there aren't 20,000.
They gave the stats on where Andre's hits were located, and he has been pretty equal in all areas of the field, including 7 infield hits.
So, how long before Kuo is back on the DL. I don't think they needed to pitch him today. This game doesn't seem worth the risk.
Donnie is probably thinking the same thing just about now.
I guess Kuo just proved my point. Poor guy 😦
Touchdown! Give the visitors 7…cRAP!!!!!
Touchdown & point after, of course 🙂
What, will all the EMPTY SEATS I'm glad there are so few fans there watching this debacle. All that with one of the weakest hitting teams in MLB. Mr. Schieffer, can you see what the Frank and Ned combination have brought to this esteemed franchise. For the sake of the fans, take their toy away from them. Make Frank SELL THE TEAM.
Maybe add Kuo to my list above.
And Broxton of course.
Other than Andre's hitting streak, that game was awful!
Hey, this team may be sub .500, but at least they are a very entertaining…ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…team…ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…to watch.
Today – Ethier/Kemp/Carroll – 4 for 10, BB – the rest of the lineup 1 for 20, BB
That's great Jhall!!!
BTW – WOW!!! What about those Indians. It must be great to be Grady and Company these days. Fun to watch for sure!!!
Yep, it is!! Reds and Indians are both very entertaining!! When they get down by 2 or 3 runs early or mid game, you don't feel like you are doomed. And both are built from the farm system and on a low budget!! Really puts the exclamation point on how bad the McCourt ownership and Ned management have been!!!
You are right! Both teams are exciting to watch. I am finding myself watching a lot of games just because there are other teams playing baseball.
Yep Nelly, I love the Dodgers but I also love baseball and it is fun and exciting to watch really good teams play!! Hopefully soon, Frank and Ned will be gone and we will be able to say that about our Dodgers!!! If it weren't for Ethier, Kemp, and Kersh, this team would be unwatchable!!!
This team IS unwatchable.
Unfortunately, new ownership is going to have to start totally from scratch to rebuild the farm. Only way I can see them achieving that is to trade Dre and Kemp at least, maybe Kersh so that MAYBE in 4-5 years they could have something worth getting behind. And that's only if they don't hire another fool like Ned.
Honestly, Ned is THE MOST incompetent GM I've ever seen in ANY sport.
Yep Beav, they're going to need some deep pockets to buy good players until they can rebuild the farm. And like you said, if they have a GM even half as stupid as Ned, we're still screwed!!! Ned is the worst representation of a GM I have ever seen!!!!
Yea – the only reason I tolerated the rest of today's game was to see how Matt and Andre were going to finish up their day. They both have 56 hits in the same amount of plate appearances. They really are a dynamic duo, but they have nobody helping them "consistently" every game.
I checked out the replay on Andres' hit Nelly. He smoked it and the call could have gone either way. So, it might as well go our way. It would have been a really good to great play to get him out.
Yea – most reported the ball he hit was a rocket, but it could have been a webgem play for Brad as well if he got him out. So, I guess that is the angle most of the media took on the hit. It would have been a hit or a great play to get Andre out. So, it's good knowing that 🙂
🙂 🙂 🙂 )))
I'd like to know exactly how Ned has "built a team" around the core players. If you mean turning over half the roster each and every year with PVLs, then he's succeeded. If you mean with major league talent, then he's failed miserably.
Next year, this team is going to need a 3B, SS, LF or 1B, C and closer. Not to mention an entire bench, an entire bullpen and probably 2 starters. Out of 25 men, we'll have:
Billz, Kersh, Lilly, and maybe Garland (whoopee two the last two)
Sands, Dre and Kemp
Loney (only if they tender him, which they won't)
Kuo (if they tender him) and Jansen
That's 11, but maybe only 9 returning from a 25-man roster, INCLUDING 4 regular starters.
How is anyone going to fill that many openings with ML talent, at least at the starting positions? Not to mention Ned has yet to make his patented stellar moves at this year's trade deadline.
This team is toast next year going in, then it'll lose Dre & Kemp, because who wants to play for this loser of a franchise? I might be overly optimistic in my assessment that new ownership can field a decent team in 4-5 years. It could easily be 6-8.
Sigh!! You gotta figure Ned will make it worse before the season is over. That's his track record. I just hope we are sellers at the deadline(except for Kemp and Ethier) and not buyers!!! Other than Kemp, Ethier, and Kersh, all the rest are fair game. Bad part is, Ned is not the tool you want working on it!!!
Ned is a tool 🙂
He's more like a toolbox – lol!!!
Holy Cow!! I just heard that we got(killed) Osama Bin Laden!! Wow!!!
Check…now, let's get Kim Jong Il !!!!!!!
What a good ending to a great weekend!!! Thank you and God Bless to the men and women who fight for our country so we can enjoy the simple pleasures we have in this country, like loving this game of baseball. THANK YOU!
Very well said, Nellyjune. I share your sentiments.
Urgh what the point send Jansen down and not Cormier(I guess he was out of option.)
I was watching the Mets/Phillies game when the announcers told us of Bin Laden's death. I switched my tv to picture-in-picture, keeping the video of the close game on the silent side. While listening to CNN's explanations of what was going on I noticed the cameras at the baseball game showing the fans looking at their cell phones, telling each other the news. They started chanting and the game situation didn't call for it. I switched the pictures so I could hear what they were saying. It was, "USA! USA! USA!" What a thrill it must have been to be in that crowd as the news spread!
God speed to all those brave soldiers involved. I'm so happy that all of them are well, and I'm looking forward to hearing their stories in the next few days.
Back to our world. Here are the attendance updates. To damned many people still buying tickets, IMHO. Although the total number in attendance continues to fall, the rate is decreasing. Good news is coming in the Cub series, I'm sure. The next 3 games in '10 had 140,000+ fans, and I doubt there will be that many this week. Plus, without the Yankees coming to town this year, it'll dive bigtime when that rolls around.
Game 15's attendance (2010): 42,287
Today's attendance courtesy of trumom: 39,869
2010 attendance (15 games) – 659,269 (43,951 average)
2011 attendance (15 games) – 563,426 (37,562 average)
Drop of 95,843 total
Average drop of 6390
Extrapolated for 81 games – 517,552
Projected 2011 final attendance – 3,042,500
2010's final attendance – 3,562,318 (#3 in MLB)
God Bless America
I started out watching the Phillies/Mets game just for the pure fact it was a good game, and then ended up very proud to be an American. What a great sight to see at that ballpark tonight.
Thanks for all the attendance updates and thoughts last night and tonight.
I gave away Paul because it was hard for me to constantly spell Xavier, that and because Gimenez reminds me of that Bill Dana character Jose Jimenez and it makes me laugh every time I see him play. How about that game last night, I'm so proud of my players, they actually managed to get 5 hits. Lets' see if they can get 6 today?
Ned: Outside of Ethier, Kemp, and Carroll, you have given Donnie a bunch of hitless wonders to work with. Keep it up. The more shutouts, the fewer people will go to the ballpark. Tell Donnie to keep Carroll down at #8 in the lineup. Why bat him in the top 2? Just to set the table for Ethier and Kemp? No, keeping him at #8, and we will set a record for shutouts this year.
Looking forward to total of attendance below 3 million this year. Heck, with all the empty seats that we can see on TV, I would think concession sales are drying up.
Less than 3 million attendance now pretty much guaranteed for 2011, and those numbers are probably somewhat fudged by Frank and his publicity staff. If Frank keeps putting up a fight rather than giving up the franchise, I hope the fans really decide to stick it to him and make the numbers fall under 2.5 million. Now that would be an achievement, and I'd like to see Frank handle that.
Ned, I think we should mount an ad campaign similar to what my mentor Donald Sterling uses. Let's put the opposing team's best players on billboards as the dates approach when they're coming in. We're out of luck with the Cubs because it's too close and they don't have any stars. But for next year, just put a big Cubs cap in there with maybe Ernie Banks and a word balloon saying, "Let's play two!". See what I mean? We've maxed out the local chumps so let's start appealing more to the fans of the other teams. So get working on that, and get me a carnitas burrito. Wet.
Quandry of the day:
Root for Ethier's hitting streak to continue?
The Pro's: (1) Of course, he's Andre! (2) What the heck kind of a Dodgers fan, are you, SellTheTeam? How can you even ask this question?
The Con: Andre's hitting streak is the only thing bringing fans out to the ballpark right now. It sure isn't our shining bullpen.
Andre is definitely a reason to go to the games, but FranknNed take all the fun out of it 😦
What the hell? I've owned this damned team since '04, but I don't see my name on your list, Josh! How come? I'm as big a bubblehead as the next guy! Bigger even! I want my own bubblehead, doggone it! And I want it now! If I can't have…….what? Oh, bobblehead! Nevermind…
Frank – I see you can no longer sell enough tickets, so now you are giving them away. You likely still count them in your attendance figures though, you louse!
"Paid" attendance is such a relative term. Paid by who? You. Me. Someone's paid for it.
New post at my blog, this one's about my thoughts on the Padres. Not my best writing, but the best way to get going is to keep moving. http://northstateblues.blogspot.com
Carroll SS
Sands 1B
Ethier RF
Kemp CF
Uribe 3B
Thames LF
Barajas C
De Jesus 2B
Kershaw P
You got it boss, I'm working on a campaign featuring all of the other teams stars because other then Kemp, Either and Kershaw we don't have any, and we both know as soon as they make more money they'll be gone, I'll trade them for Dotel again, he works cheap., it will be shown the series before so our many suckers, err, I mean fans will see it in time for them to buy more tickets to these upcoming games. I just sent Soboroff out for the burrito, it will be here asap if he doesn't eat it himself.
Good Evening All…
Today's a brand new day!!
Go Get Em' Kershaw and Crew!! Enjoy your Evening and enjoy the game everyone…
Come on Dodgers…let's get it done tonight!!!!
Hi'Ya Trumom™. Well, if they don't get it done against this pitcher it will really be Pathetically Unacceptable!!! LOL!!!
Oh, Sweet….Pathetically Unacceptable!!!!!! 🙂
Go Andre, Go Clayton, and Go Dodgers!!!
Go Away Frank. Go Away Ned!!
Isn't that a song title? I think it was Go Away, Little Girl…but, your version is spot on 🙂
I ain't gonna beg them to stay Tru!!
But, then we wouldn't have any fun 🙂
I think enchanted can find fun in anything. Even when FranknNed are finally gone, there will always be the players that suck, the manager or the coach that makes the idiot decision or decision or the trolls that wonder onto ITD 🙂
Send in the trolls!!!
True, Nellyjune 🙂
Obviously, I can't make a decision on using the word decision. That should have been "decision or call" 🙂
Wally!!!! Beav is home!!!!
Way to go Matt and Uribe!!!
Woo-hoo a run!!!
They need to get on the PA system and callout seat numbers for open tryouts in left. Shesh.
Oh where, oh where is Oldbrooklynfan? Has anyone heard from him lately?
Kind of makes me worried.
Think he's over on the Times blog.
I was wondering if you had seen himover there enchanted. That's good to know!
I'll bet Jerry said…"Oh, Sweet"!
No doubt!! Damn!!!
Another scintillating night with the sticks so far.
Just as you said that, Barajas got a double 🙂
However, he will probably be left there!
I'm a titillating man myself!!! LOL!!!
I bet you are Wally!!!
( 🙂 )
Maybe it should be: ( 🙂 ) ( 🙂 )….that is titillating!
Mmm, nummy num num.
O……M……G!!! You guys are terrible!! LMAO!!!!
Nice crowd at Staples. Lakers down a bit early.
lol nice crowd is always 18,997 there and glad both team played around the same time. To bad we can't played in a basketball arena than we would've had that crowd lol.
WTF? Trying to squeeze with a man with bad wheels at 3rd?
Alright Sand Man!!!!
Way to go Andre!!!!! #28
Awesome Andre!!! 28 straight!!!
Woo-hoo some runs and a hitting streak to boot.
Freaking Sweet!!! WTG Andre!!!
Amazing…X-Man is tearing it up in Pittsburgh and we have Thames!!!!
I'm not surprised!!!
…… and we get to play against Xman for four games next week 🙂
Should be fun 🙂
Ned wouldn't know talent if it came up and bit him in the ass.
Let's to the party wtg Ethier #28 and he's batting 2nd I think it really does matter in the batting order. I see Sands got a 2 runs double and as I type this Soriano just hit a homerun.
Gosh I wrote that all wrong and I wish there were an edit feature.
Oops that late lol
I'm still piss off that Donny used Kuo yesterday and this would've been a good game for him to pitch.
Oh and Jansen getting send down over Cormier. I'd rather have Weaver back lol.
Loney have an appointment somewhere?
LOL!! Yep, the non-tender list!!!
And, for hitting the fly ball, James has to put money in Donny's jar!
Yeah, I'm sure that's going to turn him around.
30,239….not good!
I still think they are padding those numbers so Frank doesn't look so bad!
I think a sock does the same thing…
Seems funny bringing up padding with all the previous titillating chatter. . .
Thanks Trumom™!!
For the attendance.
A fine inning by Padilla. Donnie's sure to take him out for Brox.
Padilla has been a pleasant surprise coming out of the pen since coming off the DL.
Good job!
Well, we've crossed a significant threshold tonight! Over a hundred thousand drop in 2011 so far. Not bad, but I think we can do a lot better. I figure tomorrow night we'll go under 3 million projected.
Game 16's attendance (2010): 40,718
Today's attendance courtesy of trumom: 30,239
2010 attendance (16 games) – 699,987 (43,749 average)
2011 attendance (16 games) – 593,665 (37,104 average)
Drop of 106,322 total
Average drop of 6645
Extrapolated for 81 games – 538,255
Projected 2011 final attendance – 3,005,429
2010's final attendance – 3,562,318 (#3 in MLB)
Wah-Hoo!!! Keep those cards and letters at home Dodger fans!!!!
Thanks Dad!!
I love that attendance and that would be 51% while a whole 100% is at Staples.
lol Padilla can't pitch 2 innings seem like a damn waste even with the double switch he still can't pitch the extra inning.
Please fasten your seltbelts and have your seats and tray tables in their upright position, and get ready for another turbulent ride. Herrrrrre's Johnny!!!!
Hide all the sharp instruments.
Guess Ned's in no danger then.
Oh, no….it's broxTON!
I believe this is the first time this year he's had a 1-2-3 inning!
I still can't believe Donny let Kuo pitch yesterday and we've probably see him tonight to closer instead of Broxton.
Wow!!! That wasn't too bad at all tonight!!! A nice smooth landing too!!! Way to go Brox!!!!
Woo-Hoo, win and hit streak!!! Gotta love that defense!!
Okay guys…a nice win. Let's do it again tomorrow!
Seems like it tru, but back in Game 2 against frisco he only faced 3 batters, retired 'em in 9 pitches. That's it though.
Thanks, Dodgereric….it was so long ago, I forgot 🙂
Not too bad for Brox. Seems he does better with a 3 run lead or better.
I still think there's something wrong with his arm. His velocity continues to drop. That wicked slider he had previously is pretty wimpy these days.
You kinow what will happen VL – Ned will decide to sign him for 3 years, right after which they'll find out he has a shoulder injury.
No e, you're wrong. Ned will find out before he signs him. Then he'll sign him.
Unfortunately, I think you and VL are right!!!
As good as Padilla's been coming out of the pen, I wouldn't hesitate to make him the closer if Brox doesn't pick it up.
True E.
I'd go for that VL!!!
I agree vl. And was it my imagination, or was he finally throwing inside occasionally last year? I don't think I've seen him do it once yet this year. Have to put that Fear Of God into the hitters.
Broxton needs a change-up!!!
Yes, he does!
If we had a pitching coach, he could teach him one. Hell, I taught a 10-year-old how to throw the palm ball, and I don't know anything.
The league is getting wise to him. With his loss in velocity, his sliders that used to be in the high 80's – low 90's are down in the low 80's with ALOT less break. He's been getting lit up with alot of hits, and his K's are way down.
Tight Laker game tonight.
I had to send Ron to the bedroom to watch! He's driving me crazy 🙂
Look like the Giants lose on another error by Tejada they probably wish they had Uribe back.
LOL Shad!!!
Me too!!
Question – If Frank's forced to sell, who's front runner for GM? (Because you know it won't take 5 seconds for the new owner to figure out Ned doesn't have the tools.)
You or Dodgereric, of course!
Tough question Beav but just about anybody would be better. However, nobody with any G'nat ties. Kim Ng would be acceptable. Might want to check out someone from the Braves organization. They know how to judge talent!!
I certainly would have kept Paul and not signed Thames!!!
Lakers choke down the stretch.
Mavs win.
Andre is looking very uncomfortable talking about this hitting streak. I am thinking he just wants it to be over so he can move on and focus on the team.
no,no,no tru. I want to manage the team on the field, remember? e would be a much better GM than I.
That would be good with me 🙂
I've been doing a little math, and I know just enough to be dangerous.
We can all see that Broxton is throwing no faster than 95 mph these days, right? We all saw that the "healthy" Broxton was good to hit 100 mph occasionally, right?
If someone finds me wrong, please correct me. But 95 mph should translate to 139.33 ft/sec.
100 mph = 146.67 ft/sec
Assuming that the pitcher should release the ball about 56′ from home plate, and not knowing how acceleration and friction would affect this, but a 95 mph pitch should reach home plate in 0.4019 seconds.
A 100 mph pitch takes 0.3818 seconds, a difference of 0.0201 seconds.
So, assuming I'm right so far, a 100 mph pitch will cover 56 feet in 0.3818 seconds. A 95 mph pitch will cover only 53.2 feet in 0.3818 seconds. Right?
Therefore, if Broxton has lost 5 mph on his fastball, the ball is 2 feet, 9.6 inches away from the plate in the same amount of time nowadays. And that seems to be the difference to let hitters catch up with his fastball.
Boy, that's good stuff!!! It sounds and looks accurate to me. It's also why he needs a change-up. He could be effective with a fastball that is 95mph if he could get some off speed stuff to go with it. Like I am telling you something you don't already know – lol!!!
Great numbers Dad!! That extra 2 1/2 to 3 feet make a big difference. Especially when you don't have much movement on the fastball like Brox.
The funny thing is as bad as he has appeared to be, Beox has only blown one save. Some closers are doing a lot worse than he is. I mean, he is certainly giving me breathing issues when he is pitching, but compared to some, it could be worse too.
Wow, Eric!
I'm, still working on: Train A leaves the station at 10.50 A.M. going at 60 mph, and Train B leaves the other station at 11:30 A.M.
LMAO Messagebear!!! I had to read it about 10 times to figure out what he was trying to do so you are definitely not alone. 🙂
Is this what they call mental masturbation?
Mathterbation!!! LOL!!!
lol mathterbation
Yeah, no shit neds! That's friggin' funny!
It was a good post for me!!!!
Hell jhall! If it is, it sure feels different!
LOL!!!!!! Keep up the good jerk!!!
Oh goodness!!! I need to leave the room now! LOL!!!
Andre has been the play of the day on "Quick Pitch" for four days straight now for his hitting streak. JP actually caught a ball today and made a play of the day grab tonight as well.
He is probably the only Dodger to be featured on MLB-TV since Manny came to town. It seems that it is very rare for any Dodger to be seen on a highlight play on that network or ESPN.
LOL – I am watching the DVR'd "DodgersLive" broadcast and the guys were talking about how Ethier is not getting a lot of airtime. Steve Lyons remarked "You know, West Coast baseball…. the people on the East, they don't care about us. They're asleep by the time Andre makes his second at bat."
He's right too! …. But it's been said west coast baseball is casual, we, the fans l, don't take it seriously like east coast fans do. I think those people need to meet some of us 🙂

No ones taking my job as long as I can eval talent. And yes if it bit me in the ass I might notice it, as long as it doesn't bother my stache or my rug.
Calls for his resignation. Calls to ask him to: PLEASE SELL THE TEAM, I hope!!!!
Go get him Dodgereric!!! ………..or anybody else who lives in the area 🙂
Funny, I was just listening to those two honks on ESPN radio a few minutes ago. They claim that they've been my biggest critics in the media and they're going to give me a bad time. What a couple of losers! They'll cave just like everyone else does. They'll be licking my boots before the first 10 minutes is up. That's right. They're bragging every 5 minutes on 710 that "Frank McCourt is going to be taking questions from YOU, the FANS!" Bullshit. I only agreed to 20 minutes on the air, and the first 10 are reserved for the two hosts. Hah! It would take at least a half an hour for one of you clowns to list the reasons you all hate me! HAHAHAHAHA! I'm going to play those two idiots like a fiddle. Just listen in. Everyone loves me, down deep inside. And once I start in on how wrong I've been done by Selig, no one is going to have the heart to take me apart. Hell, if one of you losers manages to get your call in, all I have to do is pontificate for 9 minutes telling the same clap-trap I always do and then, "Whoops! Your time is up! See ya, don't wanna be ya!" and I'm outta there!
P.T. Barnum was wrong. There wasn't a sucker born every minute. There's at least 100.
Hey Frank, why don't you sell 3 or 4 of your houses that you bought with embezzled Dodger money and pay back the franchise!! Oh, I forgot, they are probably so leveraged that there isn't any equity in them!!
Hell, I would sell them if I could. The bitch has them in her name, remember? But even if I could, I wouldn't be using the money to "pay back the franchise". I couldn't care less about the Dodgers, I've been trying for 7 years to break it. Why else would I hire an ex-Giant for a GM? Why else would I hire a couple of ex-Yankees to manage it? Why else would I take the names off the backs? Why else would I triple the parking and the ticket prices without upgrading the roster with actually decent players? Why else would I spend all that money on crap like outfielders who can't field or throw? Why else would I sign pitchers who I know are injured? Can anyone blame me for my lack of respect for you "fans"? You're all hopelessly STUPID! I do all this stuff to your "beloved" team and you still keep shoving money in my pockets!!!!! "Thank you sir, may I have another?" comes to mind.
Thanks Frank!! I don't know what came over me. I forgot that you are the franchise and the Brand, not the team or players!!! I'll go back and join the other 3M plus fans/suckers that continue to attend games while you are the owner and line your pockets. By the way, your hairdo sucks!!!!
That's ok, jhallwally. But if you think my hairdo sucks, wait until you see the hair on those two radio schmucks after they "interview" me and have to pull their heads out of my butt!
Cool!! Well, have to run now, Jamie needs a ride!!!
(( 🙂 ))
Ride 'em cowboy! 🙂
Frank says: People been lyin' about me, don't believe them! I'm a great guy, you need to get to know me!
Frank says, "Pity me. I'm living in a one-bedroom place".
"If the things that were written about me were true…." Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. Man, I love me. Have you ever met anyone who can lie like I can?
What did I tell you? Only four fans got in and one of them was on my side.
Thanks for all the softball questions, no follow-ups when I didn't answer the questions directly and letting me continually hype my Fox deal, guys. I owe you. Man, I'll never get tired of saying that.
Since Josh isn't giving us new posts on a regular basis, here is today's post.
Frank cozied up to all his fans today on ESPN radio. Frank talks double-talk like all crappy politicians.
In other news, Thames has developed a mysterious injury and is put on the DL to make room for Jay Gibbons.
Tonight's Lineup:
Carroll SS
Sands LF
Ethier RF
Kemp CF
Uribe 3B
Loney 1B
Barajas C
Miles 2B
Billingsley P
I've got a solution for you Frank, that will make all the Dodger fans like you:
Thanks STT Josh!!!!
Well, I sure wish you guys would get around to DLing Brox and Loney!!!!
Gibbons…just what we need to put us over the top 🙂
LOL!!! What a joke!! Gotta play the overpaid/over the hill pieces of shit and let a talented prospect like XPaul get away!!!!
I know! That shows what a good eye for talent ol' Ned has 🙂
Very hard to see talent with your head in your ass!!!
No shit 🙂
I know it late and everything with the royal wedding and Osama death but since he still on the team happy belated 24th bday to DeJesus.
Cash Crunch Won't Rush Dodgers' MLB Monitor
"The Los Angeles Dodgers may not have enough cash to cover their expenses at the end of this month when a round to paychecks to players are due, according to two people familiar with the team's financial problems. The team also certainly will face insolvency by July, they said."
Heh, heh, heh……..
Heh, heh, heh…it's Fat Albert!
SO UNACCEPTABLE!!!! ……on so many levels. I am really beginning to feel for anybody who has ever had to work or play for Frank. Frank – you are a scumbag!!!!! SELL THE TEAM!!!!!
Amen Nelly, it is PATHETIC!!
If Frank is broke and can't make payroll at the end of the month, who does he cut first, front office or players on the field. Don't worry, Josh, experience tells us it will be the players on the field. That does bring up a point – what the hell is Soboroff doing on the payroll?
I'm sure it is SoJerkOff behing the "I'm sorry" and Crocidile tears campaign we are being subjected to from Frank!!! It's just Too much, Too Little, and way Too Late!!!
I think the answer to that is, Nothing.
C'mon Beav, SoJackOff is the pivot man in this circle jerk!!!
Got autographs from Cormier, Garland, Gwynn and Kuroda, and now sitting top deck right behind home plate! Thanked Gwynn for saving Brox's bacon with his catch the other day. Let's go Dodgers! Hope you all are doing well!
Good for you PMike. Enjoy the game but don't buy anything!! LOL!!!
Once again why is Cormier still on this team? This is bad Navarro can come back and who went on the DL I forgot than Jansen get send down for Kuo and now Thames on the DL for Gibbons? I know Uribe been hot but he's hitting .302 at home but on the road he's hitting under .200.
Good thing we are home tonight my friend!!!
I forgot Blake for Mitchell(but still want to give him a chance.)
Yep that's average out to a .247.
Home .279 .323 .488 .811
Road .232 .277 .375 .652
Career at DS before this year 272 .321 .399 .720 of course it help when you hitting good at home this year.
Of course those our career numbers at home/road.
Happy 66th bday Lopez and like I mention happy 24th bday DeJesus.
And the band played on!!!
lol happy bday Dempster hopefully it won't be a good bday present for you.
Don't worry jhall! All food and drink was bought outside the stadium, even the peanuts! 🙂
You Rock PMike!! Give'em hell for me my friend!!
Just remember, if it wasn't for peanuts, Ned wouldn't have any at all.
A pea brain with no nuts!!! That's our Neddy. Their hasn't been a decent set of kahoonas' aroung here since Kirk Gibson and Orel Hershiser!!!
Just saw the kid get his signature from Loney, and then he proceeds to run and step on second, and then head towards third! The funny thing is, it looks like James put him up to it!
Good evening all!
Luckily I got the telecast on WGN, but I have to mute The boob Bob Brenly, and have Vin on the radio Broadcast.
All Good! 🙂
I'm with you VL!!!
Wow Congratulation Lirano 1st no hitter this year.
Really mashing again tonight I see.
Wake me up when something happens.
As shaky as Dumpster was in the 1st, I thought they would have lit him up by now. . .
OK, What is worse:
A) Charlie Steiner
B) Franks continuing cry baby act.
C) Loneys' bat
D) Neds' transactions
E) A condo in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
F) All the above!
Ramirez sleepwalking on the base paths!
Wah-Hoo, #29!!!
Alright Dre! Keep it up!
Good Job Andre!!!! #29 🙂
WTG Ethier and now tied Wheat and now is Davis 31 is next. They should've gave Kemp that assist to bad Ramirez was safe and came off the base so not assist for Kemp.
To bad Ethier could've done that in the 1st inning.
Jeeeez! WTF? Will Loney ever get on track?
Talk about frustration!
lol when he bat 2nd.
Not likely VL!!! The numbers usually bear out and he has been on the decline!!! He's just not that good!!!
I don't know if I like that with Sands and are they going to pitch to Ethier?
lol well I guess so.
I hope Dempster don't give credited with his 1st QS this season in 7 starts and the Cubs a team only have 8 which ranked them dead last in the NL but they are missing 2 starters.
It's a tribute to Ned, Shad!!!!
Enjoy the streak Dodger faithful, it will be the highlight of the 2011 Dodger season!!
Come on Randolph and you need to heat up and I had you guys taking that series vs the Thunders.
Billz gets out of the jam!
Woo Hoo! WTG MATT!!!
CRAP! Par for the course. Bills does good for a while, then gets complacent, hangs one, & BOOM!
Damn of course Pena 1st homerun of the season dang after Dempster gotten his 1st QS of the season.
I had the game recording on WGN while I was at work, but lucked out and found that they have the Dodgers feed w/ Vin on the MLB Network.
Too bad they won't show tomorrow's day game, I want to see the throwbacks. The Cubs jerseys are going to look sharp tomorrow, too.
Interesting side-fact: in the last game, the Dodgers owned the Braves throwback jerseys too, they kept them after the game, and are going to auction them off for charity, as well as the Brooklyn jerseys.
Nice interview at Uni Watch with the guy who made the jerseys.
Boss you aced that radio interview. The way you danced around all of the questions was a thing of beauty. Then again you're playing with mental midgets, not on your level. Just one thing, could you please not take all of the credit for putting a cheap and crappy team on the field, that's my job.
Gonna need a couple more runs tonight, boys. Make that five, to give the bullpen enough cushion.
Meanwhile, in San Diego, O-Dog pulled his hamstring.
Oh come on let's it be $100 not $1.
So was Loney's hit to left a line drive or a lazy fly? Looked like a lazy fly that just dropped in to me. Pay up, Loney Phoney.
What's the point of having Miles swing away if you were going to PH for Billz? Shouldn't Miles have sacraficed?
Shades of JoJo…
Because Miles has incredible power – look, he's hit 16 dingers. Oh, over nine years. Never mind!
Damn, glad we kept Thames-Gibbons rather than Paul.
Case closed!!!
Fucking Geez!!!
I'm going to be rooting for the X-man when they play the Bucs. I want him to stick it to Ned good.
Paid attendance 38,017 ?? I must have heard that wrong. There are no butts in the seats tonight!
Peru's at the game – maybe ask him to do a head count.
I've figured it out. There are exactly 19,008.5 fans there. That 38,017 is a cheek count.
I think you've finally figured out how they get their attendance….:)
SHEEE-IT! . . . (Southwest pronounciation).
Hold your breath – here's the Broxtonizer!
I'd die from lack of oxygen the way he's pitching.
Talk about shaky!! NO velocity to speak of, and can't throw strikes!!!
Lost a little ground tonight, but we should make some hay tomorrow. Game 18 last year drew 55,662.
Game 17's attendance (2010): 35,282
Today's attendance courtesy of selltheteam: 38,017
2010 attendance (17 games) – 735,269 (43,251 average)
2011 attendance (17 games) – 631,682 (37,158 average)
Drop of 103,587 total
Average drop of 6093
Extrapolated for 81 games – 493,562
Projected 2011 final attendance – 3,009,779
2010's final attendance – 3,562,318 (#3 in MLB)
Geez! Just walk a buncha Cubs, ya bum!
He just looked lost, and completely out of it!
Donnie should demote him at the least, and make Padilla the closer!
If he walks Soriano, can we just DFA him on the spot?
I'll give Donnie the credit of taking him out at the right time. Too bad we don't have anybody in the pen we can count on!
Of course we do and Padila or Hawksworth should've had started the 9th.
In the words of that great American, Strother Martin – Some men ya jist caint reach. So, you get what we have here today, which is the way he wants it. Well, he gits it. I don't like it any more then you men…
Mattingly just caint git it that Broxton's toast and no amount of trotting him out there is going to change it. Maybe if we had a decent pitching coach it'd be different, but we don't.
Cool hand Luke. CLASSIC!
Are you saying that Ned is smarter – I mean, less stupid – than Donnie in the Broxton issue?
lol are traded him and Loney for Gonzo and Bell. I surely hope that rumor wasn't truth.
Thar she blows!
That's the ballgame. The Dodgers would like to thank you for your attendance. Please drive safely going home.
Yeah. I can't see these boys scoring much on Marmol. . .
I can't see the boys scoring much on Midol.
Turn out the lights, the party's ooooverrrrrrrrrr…….
OK, its gotta be asked since Brox claims there's noting physically wrong with him…
He's only 26 and has already run out of gas. Very possible.
Send him to a shrink! I think it's mostly mental. Either too much, or waaaay too little mental capacity.
I could believe that more if there was no loss in velocity and he was just wild. But its a dramatic loss of velocity.
Boy, that was weird-looking. Am I crazy, or does the cut-off man let the throw go through to the plate unless he hears the catcher yell, "CUT!"? Barajas sure didn't look like someone who yelled "CUT!".
I also think the euphoria of having MLB take control of the finances has worn off and they're back to playing to their ability, which ain't much.
Oh well, best we treat this season like the joke that it is. Be prepared though, next year will be as bad if not worse.
Just one step closer to
(a) a losing season
(b) 91 losses on the year
(c) Dodgers in bankruptcy
(d) the end of Frank's ownership years
(e) the end of Ned as GM
(f) rebuilding of the team from the ground up.
Unfortunately, by the time the team is any good again, I'm afraid Vin won't be there to call it :((
It's really kind of funny. How long does it take a GM and Manager to realize that your closer doesn't have it!!!! Say goodnight Gracie!!!
Goodnight Gracie!!!
Goodnight, George 🙂
He need to suck it up or get placed on the DL.
You are too cool Trumom!!!
Sometimes cherry-picking stats can be fun.
.405 .472 .613 1.085
Know what that is?
That's our pitching line in the 9th inning so far this year. Without tonight's game, obviously. Remember when we had a damned good bullpen? It wasn't that long ago. My theory: Torre killed 'em all.
That is one ugly line.
Yes, to all the above comments!! Total bullshit!! Thanks Frank. You can't be too sorry for this and giving us Ned. Way to go Andre!!!
This completely blew the big one!
Billz deserved the win. Other than hanging that change-up to Pena, he did well.
Another routine bullpen implosion tonight courtesy Brox and hawsworth
You can't really blame Hawkworth this was all Broxton fault and Kemp probably should've had dive for that ball.
I bet Hawksworth would've had done better than given up a 1 out 4 pitches walk.
After waiting years for the young guns to come into their own, this is what we've got: Ethier, Kemp, Kershaw, and Billz and no supporting cast. It's like having a well-tuned Chevy big block engine sitting in a rusted out Yugo with a blown-out transmission.
I've seen that happen, a looong time ago, except the engine was put in an Opel. Remember them?
Others have said this already but as soon as a new owner comes this team needs to be dismantled and rebuilt from scratch around ethier kemp kersh and billz. And the first one to go should be Colletti
Well I sure hope Lilly can pull it out tomorrow to take the rubber game.
Dodgerseric that pitching line is an incredible stat
Boy that Sharon Tay is cute…………oops, was that out loud?
I'd say that was an understatement. 😉
Just save us the trouble and put Broxton on the DL.
OK Big E, for you, who was the hottest entertainer/actress when you were a teenager?
I'd have to say mine was Cheryl Ladd.
Sorry about that, but I had to do something to get a smile on my face.
Just to be fair, this is what our hitters are doing in the ninth:
.279 .311 .395 .706………ooh, let's bring the pitcher's stats back
.405 .472 .613 1.085
Ned doesn't believe in those stat thingies.
lol I'd rather have it the other way around.
Children, there is zero reason to bang our collective heads against the wall over this team. It is what it is. Look at the much bigger picture. 2011 will be viewed as an ENORMOUS success if the 2012 season finds a new, benevolent owner with deep pockets and a passion for Dodger baseball, a new GM, and Ethier and Kemp locked up long term. I believe all the above are not only doable, but will, indeed, occur…and we can once more dance to the rhythms of our favorite past time.
kahli, everything you say is true. I'm still holding out for the IRS to lock the bum away, and the sooner the better.
Sophia Loren.
Ditto on Sophia…
Don't forget Leslie Caron from "Father Goose" with Cary Grant. And another one with a sexy French accent also captivated me… Claudine Longeť.
e, I'd have to agree with you about Cheryl Ladd. She was pretty close to perfect. But Raquel Welch in that prehistoric skin with the $1000 hairdo will always hold a special place in my, um, heart.
Yep, Raquel Welch was the first time I really felt something different…
enchanted…what is this sex thing you speak of?
What sex? Must've just had a flashback when I remembered Cheryl Ladd.
I remembered Cheryl Ladd a bunch of times……
I am remembering her right now… and typing with the other hand.
My long-ago fantasy? Joey Heatherton…or was it Lance Rentzel?
LMAO!!! Gawd, please tell me it was Joey!! She was really something…….
Elly Mae Clampett
Don't forget Elke Sommer and Ann Margaret.
Kam Nelson…9th Street West…………….Carol Wayne…Tea Time Movie……
Let's hope it was Joey Heatherton!
Guess I'd better hit it. Night all.
Can't believe I haven't thought of Marilyn Monroe yet.
Am I remembering too many women?
Diana Riggs wasn't too bad either. But for old school true beauty, it is hard to top Gene Tierney.
Wow, forgot all about Kam Nelson! And the Tea Time Movie Girl was pretty spectacular.
One more and I gotta git too.
Barbara Eden
Michelle Phillips and Grace Slick were hot in there day!!!(our day dad). But Audrey Hepburn transcendes time!!!! And of course, Rita Hayworth, wow!!!
I met Kam Nelson once when she was appearing on the "Groovy" show, which was hosted by Michael Blodgett and filmed on Santa Monica beach near the pier. It must have been 1968. I also liked the ditzy but sexy Barbara Eden, but also had a thing for the more responsible, but equally magical and hot Elizabeth Montgomery – forty years before Desperate Housewives. Sam is the perfect wife; no matter what bonehead thing you do, she always fixes it and makes you come out smelling like a rose ant tops it off with a long and very sensual kiss. It was left to our imagination where that would lead when they went upstairs to bed.
I also loved Anne Francis who was on TV starring in Honey West in the mid '60's and was incredible in the 1956 movie "Forbidden Planet" when I was just a small child but my brother was a teenager. I saw the movie on TV when I was a teenager so I guess that counts.
Anne was totally hot in the Twight Light Zone. As a mannaquin!!!
Twilight Zone!!
She's even hotter speaking Portuguese!
It is pathetic that after another Broxton meltdown, we have to amuse ourselves with the memories of puberty. But thinking of all those ladies really sparked some nice thoughts.
Thinking of the worthless POS that has been the closer is a major bummer. I remember last year after he saved a game, he walked off the field shaking out his arm and shoulder. I mentioned it to Tony Jackson, but he did not see it and nothing came of it. Nobody else seemed to have seen it. I know when I have shaken my arm like that after pitching, I was in pain. I had shoulder tendinitis that hurt so much, I could not move my arm beyond a very limited range of motion without pain.
He needs to go on the DL and work on his command somewhere other than in the 9th inning of a Dodger game.
He has a mild case of the Yips and needs to correct it.
……..I always had a thing for Miss Jane……..
I'm sorry.
Dang it Frank, I had you pegged for more the Bea Arthur type.
That aint right!
I would think the Padres relievers arm would fall off from last year choke when they were pitching the same 3 guys 3 to 4 games in a rows.
Never mind the performance on the field, things are coming to a conclusion behind the scenes according to unnamed financial sources. If Frank is unlikely to make payroll at the end of May, what about June, and July, and so forth? Who's going to lend him money to do that? He may sue MLB, but how's that going to raise money for the payroll? He may file bankruptcy, but for what purpose? If it is to reorganize, there would have to be some source of lending for the continuing reorganization, and where would that be coming from? Just to liquidate under bankruptcy doesn't make sense, because the value of the asset if sold would be far greater than the current liabilities. A lawsuit may deal with damages caused by MLB after the fact, but that doesn't resolve the upcoming payroll issue. So, Frank is between a rock and a hard place – exactly where he belongs, and there's still Jamie waiting in the wings.
Well, see how SuckerOff can help you with that one, Frank!
Or Ned, or Honeybutt, both of whom should be canned just on general purposes.
And pertinent to the late night discussion, let's not forget Sophia Loren for the sake of my generation.
I have a thing for Lance Cormier, but don't tell Mrs Colletti.
Bring back Weaver and even in those same innings that Cormier pitch his ERA would be down and he also could give you 2 to 3 inning.
Good Morning all. I got home last night just in time to see Brox implode….surprise, surprise! Some have suggested on other sights that is wasn't all HIS fault but, rather, our lack of offense. I conclude that a closers job is to CLOSE no matter what lead he has.
Loved all of your fantasies, guys 🙂 Next time, maybe us gals can choose ours 🙂 🙂
In fact, I choose Tom Selleck (Magnum P.I)…..Yummy 🙂
I'm waiting for somebody to pick Brox, trublu – lots to go around.
The Pillsbury Doughboy isn't my type 🙂
I was thinking the same thing last night when I saw all the posts about their fantasy girls/women, but I figured…………….. hell, we have Andre……………. and Matt……. nuff said 🙂 🙂 🙂
….and not to get away from baseball, but NASCAR has some mighty fine looking gentlemen too 🙂
What a surprise…..Nellyjune picked Andre! 🙂 🙂
Hey boss, will I get paid this month? I told you you shouldn't have bought all of those houses, although you and the Mrs certainly deserved them. I hope the fans keep supporting us, err, I mean the team.
Ned, to see how you'll be paid this month, check out what happens at the 3 minute mark:
Ready for some excitement? Well here is tooday's splendid lineup: Miles 2b; Gibbons LF; Dre RF; Matt CF; Juan SS; James 1B; Navarro C; Mitchell 3B and Lilly P. All I have to say is I feel sorry for Dre & Matt 🙂
And Lilly!!! And the fans that come out to see a MAJOR League baseball game.
LMAO…..not exactly worth he $100 it would cost you to see this spectacle 🙂
Actually, on the Homepage they have Billz pitching again…I think I'd prefer him on no rest 🙂
Well, Broxton needs to find other employment. He's not a closer anymore
Boblee – How are you doing sir? It's good to see your name on here even though I wish it were under better circumstances 🙂
Brox needs to be fixed, both physically and mentally, and not under the care of Conte. If that doesn't work, then you are right, unfortunately.
Nice to see you again, boblee…it"s been way too long!
Hey, nellyjune, how the heck are you? Been a while since I've been on here. Seems if things have changed.
Go Dodgers. We need this team to catch fire. Loney looks terrible. Not driving the ball. I could go on and on. Catch you later.
Yes, it has been a long time. I am doing great!!! How are things in Cardinal Country?
Broxton has been shut down due to elbow pain, per Ken Gurnick.
Dodgers' Broxton to have MRI on elbow
12 minutes ago
Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton will have an MRI exam of his aching elbow to determine the cause of discomfort him in recent outings.
Broxton won't pitch until after the MRI, and Vicente Padilla will be the team's first-choice closer for now.
Manager Don Mattingly said before Wednesday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs that he and pitching coach Rick Honeycutt were watching tape of Broxton's consecutive four-pitch walks to Marlon Byrd and Carlos Pena during Tuesday night's 4-1 loss when the reliever and trainer Stan Conte informed the manager of the elbow issue.
Broxton, who got the save in last year's All-Star game, is 1-2 with a 5.68 ERA in 14 appearances—converting seven of eight save chances. The six-year veteran, who had a career-high 36 saves in 2009 and dropped to 22 last year, has never been on the disabled list since making his big league debut on July 29, 2005.
lol something doesn't seem right here for some reason and it took them forever to do this.
I realize I'm late to the party on the favorite ladies of the screen, but here's my picks for the silver screen:
Blondes; Lana Turner, Grace Kelly, and Lee Remick.
Brunettes; Liz Taylor, and Jean Simmons.
Red heads; Maureen O'Hara, and Ann-Margret.
And as far as TV goes, what young red blooded american males didn't get worked up by Donna Douglass, and Barbara Eden?
Andre has been scratched from today's game due to sore elbow 😦
lol really I don't see no sore elbow in those swing and blah he was hitting over .400 vs Zambrano to.
Well, I guess the streak is over gang!! Andre has been scratched from the game today with a sore elbow!! Damn!!
As long as he doesn't PH.
Not sure if the streak ends or not. I've heard both yes and no!!
Cool, I guess the streak is still alive!!
No, as long as he doesn't have a recorded at-bat.
Wow Donny should take notes Quado have Pena batting 8th today.
Good Day All…
I hope this is just something minor (Dre's elbow ) that needs some rest.
We need to get back on track here,
Lets's Go Dodgers, Let's Go!!
Enjoy your afternoon and enjoy the game everyone…
I remember reading something quite strange about what can end a hitting streak in this situation. The story said that if he doesn't appear in the game, the streak continues. If he pinch-hits and is successful, the streak continues. If he pinch-hits and walks, gets HBP or makes a successful sacrifice bunt, the streak continues. But if he makes an out or – now get this – he hits a sacrifice fly, the streak is over. I don't remember where I read/heard this though.
Yes, it's true……….. that's what I meant by a recorded at-bat. A walk, HBP and sacrafice bunt don't go down in the book as an at-bat, but a sacrafice fly does.
Wow that would suck if you can't hit a sac fly why not? Is not an official ab's like the sac bunt and walk.
I doubt he would do it, but if I were Andre I would have found a way to take the day off just due to the sucky lineup.
This isn't where I read it, but it would appear that it is correct:
"Consecutive-Game Hitting Streaks: A consecutive-game hitting streak shall not be terminated if all the player's plate appearances (one or more) results in a base on balls, hit batsman, defensive interference or a sacrifice bunt. The streak shall terminate if the player has a sacrifice fly and no hit. The player's individual consecutive-game hitting streak shall be determined by the consecutive games in which the player appears and is not determined by his club's games.
Isn't somebody going to pick Frank in the male category?
Look what he did for his previous woman? How many mansions, a substantial alimony, and possibly half a baseball franchise too – oh, and I almost forgot the private chaufeur.
Sounds like we got some kinda contagious elbow disease going around the club. First Blake, then Broxton, now Ethier?
If you think about how the game works, a sacrafice fly is usually not intentional, but a sacrafice bunt usually is because it's a direction given from the dugout.
New lineup, and it's a beauty!
LF Gwynn
2B Miles
RF Gibbons
CF Kemp
SS Uribe
1B Loney
C Navarro
3B Mitchell
P Lilly
I guess it time for me to picked up Padilla in my fantasy league dang I love both of my 2 teams and have no one to dropped lol.
lol I still rather have Loney in the 2nd hold than Miles.
Well damn Miles prove me wrong with that one out double.
Good God, how much would it suck to go to the game today, walk in and see this lineup on the scoreboard:
Gwynn LF
Miles 2B
Gibbons RF
Kemp CF
Uribe SS
Loney 1B
Navarro C
Mitchell 3B
Lilly P
I certainly would not pay major league prices to see this mess!!
…..and poor Ted having to pitch with this lineup behind him for defense and offense.
No doubt!! LOL!!!
Well we had a no hitter by Liraino last night when he wals 5 and k's 2 and now the Reds only have 1 hit.
Oh Lyon is having a Broxton explosion right now.
You tell em Vin!!!!
The opponent should take notes that we lead the league in OF assists and should've had 2 more couple of games ago.
Just Pissed. Dre out. Broxton probably not being forthcoming about the sore elbow,and we really have no Bullpen. Mc Court now speaking, trying to defend himself, and Colletti being silent as a grave, which should have both him and McCourt in it. A couple years a go we needed a Ace starter, then a second baseman, then a left field and perhaps 3rd base, now a catcher and this revamped Bullpen sucks, so add that to a our GMs list, and next year?? RF and 1B but all these are known to the plugged in, even a little leager could tell Mc Court what I need $$$ for, but none of these things were addressed, except for houses in holmby hills, malibu, haircuts at 50K a year and a rwesidual loss of talent in the farm, count how many productive dodgers farm players are on the 40 man roster for other teams in the last 3 years. Just pisses me off that the right aquisition in 2008/09 would of brought the ring to LA, and now melt down broxton is finally being dealt with. Matt stairs wasn't a Clue, Ned?
Well said, Koufax!
Frank obviously is talking to the fans in rose-colored glasses because if he looks anywhere else, he's got some really pissed of fans.
Doesn't appear to be very many in the stands today 🙂
It appears that the thrifty nickle has finally caught up to Ned and Frank both on the club and down on the farm. Was only a matter of time.
This organization is broken from the top, through its coaching staff, through its minor league organizations, you name it, its broken. And I don't mean turn a screw here and there to fix it. Whomever buys this team will have to take years to rebuild and rehabilitate it back to where it should be.
Sorry folks, THIS is dodger baseball for at least the next 5 years.
Think I'll go watch a soccer game, where there is bound to be more of an offense.
Soto HR, that's it, ballgame! Whatever few fans came today can now exit the stadium.
Whoops – Cubs got a run. Game over. Please drive safely going home.
Crap like this will keep the seats empty for sure!! Down by 2 runs now, might as well be 10 with this lineup!!
This is a train wreck that you don't even care about watching!!
Wally, I doubt this team could even be competitive at the AAA level. I wonder if the 17000 season ticket holders could sue to get their money back.
I'll bet alot of them won't renew for next year if Frank is still around!!!
what is Uribe hurt now, too?
you can look out to Right field and see what the Dodgers may look like next year.
Well, that's it. I'm gone. Lily's giving up cookies to his former team. I've got better things to do.
wont be any traffic jam after this game.
gywnn, miles and gibbons to start the 6th
Oh Boy cant wait, so I walk, too nice of a day to think dodgers demise
I don't think they will need Andre today for a PH.
Good we would hate if that streak end with just 1 lousy AB's.
This must be one of the worst lineups put together ever, including the AAA. I bet you're really proud, Ned.
We could also use a new thread. I wish MLB would take over that task as well, rather than leaving it to a front office flunkie who's too busy covering Frank's ass.
I love how we lead the league in OF assists.
Nice to see Kuo bounce back. Time to used Cormier now and let's him finish it up since he's useless for us now.
Paid, I guess. Actually there….I'd say not even 10,000. If I showed up today, after driving 6 hours and saw this lineup, I'd demand a refund!
Just looking at a couple of the "highlights" Tru, it looked practically barren. 🙂
Right back at ya Frank 😉
Hell yeah they deserve a refund. Gonna be interesting to see how many season ticket holders don't renew next year if Frank is still the owner. I sure hope he is gone before that!!
It is barren. Enchanted. I'll bet Vinny ould have counted the people by hand 🙂
Thanks Trumom!! Gotta love it!!! One step closer to bankruptcy for Frank.
Well, we talked about beer last season. Dream girls last night. What do we talk about now?
We could choose a serious topic…such as, pick your dream team of current players, if you had an owner who gave a damn and would pay. All positions….plus 5 stsrters and closer. Can choose from both leagues.
Or, if we want to be frivilous and have some fun, I'm up for suggestions 🙂
How about Uribe's injury? Got hit in the hand by a pitch and was replaced by Carroll.
This has devolved into a "General Hospital" type reality show. Who goes down next? I wish it were Loney, and I hope it's not Kemp.
lol and I bet this is somehow Conte fault.
Titilating question there Beav!!!
So, you want to play who's got the best rack? (:) (:) 🙂
LOL!!!!!!! Why not, Mariska Hargitay from Law and Order, Criminal Intent!!!
No "enhancements" though. All natural – I hate the fake ones.
Best rack though hands down has to go to a moose.
So, Enchanted, Pamela Anderson is out?! 🙂
A moose! LM ( : ) ( : )O!!!!!!
Hell we've got the two biggest boobs right here. Frank and Furter!!!
Definitely Tru. Pamela Anderson does absolutely nothing for me. Gotta be real or I won't even give them a 7th or 8th look.
One thing you can't say is that this lineup isn't playing up to its potential.
Yeah, Bear, I expected zero runs today, and the lineup got us one. Consistently exceeding expectations! Woo hoo!
LOL!! No doubt STT and Bear!! We knew going into the season this team would suck!! Just have to be content watching Frank circle the drain.
lol just imagine if they were and the same with the bullpen but MacDougal is pitching so well so far.
What with the miserable game and all the injuries, my 71-91 prediction is looking more and more likely.
Yep STT, your looking real good!!!
MacDougal has been a big surprise and he's used to be a former closer with the Royals just maybe Donny would used him to close some games. The only problem that scare me is his k/bb ratio.
Well Lilly is sure another great Ned acquisition. 7.5M for a #5 starter at best. Maybe we can unload him in July!!!
Do you think that with a losing record, a lousy team, and an inability to make payroll, that Frank n Furter could figure out that we should be sellers and not buyers at the trading deadline???
I sure hope so!! However, I hope they don't trade away Ethier or Kemp. Unfortunately, those are the two players that could actually get us something worth a damn. But Ned is not the tool you want for the job!!!
Oops – forgot to mention – a depleted farm system!!
Best rack in a [non]supportive catagory goes to… Frank & Ned – the two biggest boobs this side of the Pecos.
"Just have to be content watching Frank circle the drain," per jhall. Love it – Frank in the crapper and MLB flushing hard. Can't wait for payroll time.
Yep Bear, end of May payroll time is going to be very interesting!!
Betcha Billz is starting to regret signing on for another three years of this crap.
Sure am glad Ned saw fit to release Paul. Another shining moment in a long list.
That is the problem with becoming sellers in July!! Ned is will get taken to the cleaners!!! He's a fool!!!
I don't have to wait until July to get hosed, I could get hosed anytime by anybody. Besides, I don't see the problem here, we scored a run today, and that was with a line up with only one hitter batting over 250.
World Series here we come! That is if boss gives me money for the tickets.
Your boss doesn't have money for tickets. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if by next week there's no coffee or toilet paper for the front office.
Well at least Martin bailout at the right time lol
I know this is not new news around here, but it's being reported that Frank is not cooperating with the investigation.
This is some ball club Frank and Ned have assembled. Mattingley just has to play good soldier for a while…then when McCourt is in prison and Ned is working PR for Charlie Sheen he can say what he really thinks about these two bizarros.
Wouldn't you like to know what Torre and Ng have already said about these two bizarros?
To be a fly on the wall would be so enlightening to say the least.
This issue with MLB versus McCourt keeps getting worse and worse. It is being reported that if MLB does not help the Dodgers and Frank doesn't pay the players at the end of the month they can file for a default. Frank would then have 10 Days after May 31st to pay the players that filed, or they can be released for Free Agency. Frank is a delusional, self-absorbed asshole who needs to go. I would hope MLB steps in and shoves Frank off the nice high cliff he has built considering the hole he has dug this franchise into.
See if you can guess what my favorite line is in this article:
"In unusually pointed remarks, a senior Major League Baseball official (Rob Manfred, Commissioner Bud Selig's right-hand man) said Wednesday that the Dodgers have not cooperated with baseball's investigation into the team's finances and that team owner Frank McCourt is responsible for his own financial troubles."
"MLB officials have been guarded in their public comments in anticipation of McCourt filing a lawsuit, but Manfred didn't mince words in his response. 'Any financial problems faced by the Los Angeles Dodgers are the result of decisions made by Mr. McCourt and his management team over a period of years.'"
"Manfred attended a meeting in Milwaukee on Wednesday with Selig and Tom Schieffer, the trustee whom baseball appointed to oversee the Dodgers. McCourt was not invited."
Thanks to the predicted drop today, we've torn down the 3 million total for 2011! Fine job everyone! Let's keep sticking it to that bastard! When he's gone and the 40,000+ crowds return, I'd just love to be there standing in front of the former owner, tweak his snotty little nose and spit in his face.
Game 18's attendance (2010): 55,662
Today's attendance courtesy of trumom: 28,419
2010 attendance (18 games) – 790,931 (43,941 average)
2011 attendance (18 games) – 660,101 (36,672 average)
Drop of 130,830 total
Average drop of 7268
Extrapolated for 81 games – 588,735
Projected 2011 final attendance – 2,970,455
2010's final attendance – 3,562,318 (#3 in MLB)
Don't hold back Eric. Tell us how you really feel about Frank. LOL
I would have to guess the fact that Frank was not invited to the meeting, or perhaps the fact that Frank feels MLB has already taken over.
This whole thing is just so disturbing, it's far and beyond ridiculous the problems even got this out of hand to begin with.
Obviously MLB has taken over, but what I meant to say is Frank feels he is already out the door.
The Red Sox and Angels are still playing in Boston – crazy!
Yeah, the owner (I'm unable to type his name anymore, even using only lower-case letters) certainly feels the decision has been made. When he opens his mouth these days, that's one of two or three things he harps on. I just hope he's right.
About the length of the thread, how about using one of the earlier ones that don't have many posts? I looked back and found the first one that doesn't have several hundred posts already. It's "The Two Sides of AJ Ellis". I made a quick remark on it so it would show up in the "Recent Comments" box and would be easy to get to.
Streak Musings and other Dodgers related observations:
Willie Davis is/was one of my favorite Dodgers. He had played for the Dodgers 9 years before he created the longest consecutive game streak for the dodgers (31) he played another 5 years with the team after that, It would be a shame if DRE broke Davis' record, and then was not a dodger the following year.
Sorry to say that the MLB/ Mc Court dialogues are more captivating than the Dodgers themselves. Only Kemp, Dre and how Donnie manages keep me tuned in, I can't expect much spectacular pitching results with a team like this. Once the paycheck does not come for our players, many more sore elbows will appear. SELL THE TEAM NOW
Oh and I am not buying Franks story of being a changed man. That his lifestyle was encouraged by jaime, and now he is a responsible person with his finances. If he wanted a WS ring he would not let Ned make the moves he has.
and yep Im sure Josh is really busy to put up another ITD frame of interest, geez historical perspective of Bobbleheads, come on, the dodgers history may be all we can enjoy, last highlights in 2009, and there are very few between 88 and now. Sucks
Hey everyone, boss is a changed man, he now has only a poor run down flop house of a room he stays in for a measly 40 grand a month. If you fans stop going to the park, pretty soon boss won't be able to have his hair done or his mansions side by side. How can we do this to a fine man like boss, when he gave so much for you fans? After all look at the great team he's instructed me to put on the field.
For some really lousy baseball viewing, tune in this weekend to watch our AAA Dodgers team take on the New York Mets. This weekend's play to feature such outstanding players such as Aaron Miles, Jay Gibbons, Russell Mitchell, and James Loney. Perhaps some surprise appearances from Jamie Hoffman and John Lindblom. Who knows, maybe Ned will dig up the Ortizii and Juan Castro? Family fun for all.
"Go sit in the front kid. Nobody is coming because of Frank"
This is classic. You can't make this stuff up.
It's raining tickets, but Los Angeles doesn't want to play in the rain.
Sad day when less than 30,000 show up to enjoy a game at Dodger Stadium, especially against the high-drawing Chicago Cubs. The other teams' attendances may be sliding because of economic reasons, but the Dodgers' attendance numbers refused to be talked down from the top of the Library (US Bank) Tower, and have plummeted off the edge.
There must be a pretty big reason for Angelinos staying away from Dodger Baseball. Can't imagine what it would be.
Can't be the play, the Dodgers have had many years worse than this on the field.
Can't be the aesthetics of the Stadium, still considered a crown jewel regardless of the tarnish applied this season.
Could it be the owner? No way! Not in his own mind, it'd never happen.
The problem must be everybody else in the world. All is right with Frank.
We are at war with Eurasia, we have always been at war with Eurasia, and have always been allies with East Asia.
At first sight of a nuclear blast, duck and cover. Then, afterwards, have the wife clean the drapery and living room to keep her mind off the trouble while scouting outside to make sure everyone's okay.
Mission Accomplished, right?

As with any drug rehabilitation program, individual results will vary.

Mother of Narconon Graduate
Linda S.
I just lived to have a son that I brought into this world healthy and he was raised in a good family, he went to church, he was in the boy scouts.
And he took some college classes but he found out that in the oilfield he could make more money. So he went to work as a rough neck on an oilrig. And the job was very demanding. There are a fair amount of drugs out there in the oilfield. He smoked a little marijuana, that's not good. He drank a little beer. But then it escalated to where, for about a year he was doing Meth and how we found out about that is, we saw a complete personality change, complete.
It was an embarrassment. We tried to keep it a family secret and I cried every night. Plus working in the courthouse, it was like any time the Sheriff walked in, I just, held my breath, thinking, "Oh no, is he gonna tell me he's arrested Kaylen?"
He didn't ever have drug charges against him but it was, he was just a hair away from being caught. And he was either going to go to prison or he was going to be killed. I mean, by the drugs or I was afraid he was going to commit suicide.
So I frantically started looking on the Internet and I found out about Narconon. I called Narconon and they worked with me for 5 weeks to get him there.
Then it was — we started seeing a change and I kept encouraging him but we started seeing a change in him to where he said, "I'm not just doing this for you anymore mom, I'm doing this for me."
And the way he is now and the staff that I've met at Narconon, I would never know they ever had a drug problem. That's how good the program is.
It's just a miracle. We have our son back and I can never thank Narconon enough because they saved his life and actually, our lives too.

Sorry to be getting this to you late. I've been suffering all manner of computer gremlins and found myself completely locked out of the site for the last 24 hours. Something to do with switching ISPs (against my will, I might add). But I digress. It's time for this week's photo challenge. As a reminder:
Here's the rules:
--Photos have to be shot this weekend, Fri, Sat, or Sun.
--You must provide the EXIF information if asked (we'll help you, if you'd like to know how to get it)
--No photoshop alteration (we're looking to improve your skills with your camera, not software)
--Your photograph must adhere to the theme, which will be described below.
--Post your photos in this thread only. DO NOT start a thread in reply to this assignment.
--Post only one photo per post, so that commentary can be easily provided for that photo.
--And, the most important rule - Have Fun! We're looking to spread the joy that many of us derive from taking pictures, particularly ones that tell a story of some kind.
This week's theme: "Evolution."
As with the others, let this theme speak to you and interpret it in whatever way you can or wish. I don't have a particular photo skill in mind, but was impressed with last week's compositions. Lots of really nice stuff, as usual.
Got your camera Fire away!

Cancer Awareness
With purchase of teal colored wristband, all proceeds go toward charities fighting cancer
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 8 May, 2012 : - - Santa Barbara surfer Tom Brown is pleased to announce the launching of the Surfing For Life Foundation. Since being diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in 2008, he has made it his mission to spread education and awareness about cancer to the surfing community.
Overwhelmed by the support of family and friends, he was determined to give back and pay it forward. My sole purpose is to bring awareness and education about cancer to the surfing community, states Brown. The Surfing For Life Foundation is a grass roots, non-profit organization. By aligning our foundation with surf shops around the country, I am able to accomplish this task. With a $2.00 purchase, you receive a teal colored wristband. All proceeds go toward charities devoted to fighting cancer. The Surfing For Life Foundations first quarter distributions were distributed among six cancer organizations.
Since its inception in January, there are now over 1600 wristbands in circulation. They are distributed in 100 surf shops throughout the world. The positive response has been phenomenal, states Brown, receiving re-orders on a constant basis. Adding to that list, Brown recently returned from France and the U.K. spreading cancer awareness with several European shops now carrying his wristbands.
Traveling to the various surf shops, talking with shop owners and managers, the Foundation has one mission in mind: PREVENTION-one wristband at a time. My message is always the same: Get regular check-ups. Prevention is key, but early-stage diagnosis almost always has a positive outcome, states Brown. My dream is to have every surfer in the water wearing a Surfing For Life wristband. The program is intended to remind us all to be pro-active in the fight against cancer.
The Surfing For Life Foundation can be reached at (805) 331-3063 or by visiting surfingforlife.org

Because they must have their third round pick back to sign Mezsaros to an offer sheet. They're not in a position to bargain for a good deal. It's typical of what they've been doing lately but let's hope the Pens get lucky and benefit.

"Murdoch empire in crisis"
Issued on: Modified:
The phone hacking row goes on in Thursday's international papers - as the pressure builds on the very top of News International. In other news, Strauss-Kahn's lawyers say they won't plead guilty to anything, and the US government has stirred a row - by interrogating a terrorism suspect on a boat in international waters.
The New York Times has spoken to Dominique Strauss-Kahn's US lawyer - who says he won't be pleading guilty to anything.
Phone hacking leads all the British papers - the Independent looks at the fallout for Rupert Murdoch's vast media empire, while the Telegraph says it has destroyed the credibility of British Prime Minister David Cameron.
And the Washington Post reveals the US government interrogated a terrorism suspect on a boat in international waters for two months - in breach of the Geneva convention.

Tce ... you ... all all all we don't know what the kids are ... learning ... the unknown and the pace ... I've got good pace Readies stretch to say I'm on a good case that ... a lot of people don't understand just how you make mine this this is how Mayweather has made so much money he's making money money whether he wins or loses the isthe is undefeated but at this point ... but tell us all sort of way if his coffers is no clear he has the historic unprecedented deal with Showtime which gives them a hundred percent of the revenue so he's the guy that actually goes up ... in rates up to the new sets the pricing or the payment for his opponent ... EPS overhead costs but he keeps what's left over ... and Showtime do that because they wanted to cut into HBO pay per view ... bout find they wanted to make sure that they could steal market share ... up from HBO which is you know been pretty dominant in the Boxing space for year right ... he is third in his mid thirties thirty six now again a low of twenty three things that got a pretty decent gap in the Boxing side industry but but Mayweather is seem to be able to take just about anything that comes with a more disciplined writer I've ever seen by the winds for more fights to break my rock my Seattle's ... title ... forty nine analysts when he needs time and he says he wants to fight this few ... sites is possible for as much money as possible he can't accuse payday on Saturday no matter what they bought in a pretty sight painted right before for him is forty two million dollars buyout and just for showing up at the right yet when you know the one thing that this interview Davis with a look into his consumption driven lifestyle to I mean ... he meets a lot of money but he also spends a lot of money ... in this is something that he will have to kind of keep in check if Eagles into the boxing promotions world because you have to file ... more financial disclosures that give people more insight ... into how he manages his finances he talked about what his vision is for the future whether he'll bring his family into the business when they tell you ... he didn't eat it he said no at first and then leader he said he wanted to teach his kids to be entrepreneur is but I think the question caught him off guard ... on you know not to pick on him I think a lot of athletes are so hyper focused ... on winning in what they have in front of them that they don't have enough time to think about long range planning and ... family trusts and foundations but when you talk about this amount of money when the ... it's something that you'd have to be thinking about even when your fight ... and nine has bought the most part good things in his estimates reflect that but funny to you we're just kind of an NHL and set the task of the appellant agreed to let me say ... that he said well you know you have to do it because I've bought all every house lamentable everytime and Noble ... than I've been with the previous women who've ever walk the face of this for him it was funny that he can get away with it because that is my aunt's of copper ... maintains a large map that spotted this time though high density you know look it Muhammad Ali When Mohamad Ali ...

I he is a hero it's a matter of fact ... Emilio asked if I was married to Korea as the fire told me ... that can help call him that I really want you to be there because I want ... all ... the prominent Latino us to come out and support me so he's thinking about that and in any activities and the stock on an underdog in the Mayweather world and people tend to repeat that one electorate that they ... while ... I'd say anywhere that just because Mayweather has more experience and he is a conservative fighter which is in stark contrast to ... on the way that he is outside the ring think he's he's in shape he takes care of itself ...

Are You at Risk for Depression?
Some people are more at risk for developing depression than others. Here's what you need to know, along with warning signs to look for.
Depression is not a condition to be taken lightly. Depression affects more than 20 million Americans and the countless friends, family, and other loved ones who support them. Knowing depression risk factors can alert you to circumstances that might make you more likely to develop the illness or help you better understand the disease if you're going through it.
Depression Risk Factors: Genetics and Environment
Of all the depression risk factors, one of the greatest is genetics, said Donald P. Hall, MD, a psychiatrist and author of Breaking Through Depression. "Genetic risks inherited from parents account for 50 percent of the risk for developing depression," Dr. Hall said. "If one of your parents suffered with depressive illness, your risk of depression doubles."
"The other 50 percent of risk for depression comes from environmental stress," added Dr. Hall. "The most common stressful event leading to depression and suicide is the break-up of a loving relationship. Other stressful events include the death of a child, loss of a job, or divorce."
Gender as a Depression Risk Factor
Your gender may play a role in your depression risk, too, as women seem more likely to be affected than men. "The risk for developing depression at some point in our lifetimes is 10 percent for men and 20 percent for women," said Hall. "Two out of 10 women you know will develop clinical depression at some point in their lives." Hall also believed that, in general, women are more sensitive than men when relationship problems occur. "Social bonding and maternal instincts lead women to value intimate relationships more deeply than men. When their children experience hardships or relationships end, women tend to feel the loss more acutely than men. These stressful experiences can trigger the 'chemical cascade' and lead to depression."
Linda Carman Copel, PhD, a psychotherapist and professor at Villanova University in Philadelphia, Pa., saw another reason why women are depressed more frequently than men. "Depression occurs in both genders, but men delay seeking treatment," Copel said. "Often in my practice, men wait and are likely to self-medicate with alcohol; become angry, aggressive, and even violent to people and to things in their environment; engage in distracting behavior; or become involved in high-risk, reckless behaviors until the behavior no longer works for them."
Depression and Ethnic Background
Some studies suggest that your ethnic background may also play a role in depression, but the jury is still out on this. "The data regarding the prevalence of depression by race or ethnicity in the United States are contradictory," said Simon Rego, PsyD, an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. "Some studies suggest that certain minority groups like African-Americans have higher rates of depression, while other studies suggest that the rates are about the same."
The reason that some racial groups may have higher rates of depression than others might be related more to sociology than their ethnic background, said Rego. "Some experts suggest that instead of race or ethnicity per se, a more important determining factor is one that is unfortunately often tied to race: poverty." Rego added that this is often due to the additional stresses faced by those with financial problems.
David Sack, MD, CEO of Promises Treatment Centers in California and author of more than 50 journal articles on depression, added one other critical risk factor for depression: "Abuse of drugs and alcohol increases the risks of becoming depressed," Dr. Sack said. "This is probably due to the changes in brain chemistry that drugs of abuse cause, as well as the myriad of social, occupational, and interpersonal problems that occur when someone becomes addicted."
If you feel that you are at risk of depression or are already depressed, don't wait to get help. Talk with your doctor and discuss possible courses of treatment to address your condition.
