Time Running Out?
I'm baaaack! Besides having gone on vacation for a week, I decided to stay away from blogging for a bit. Mostly because the Dodgers were driving me insane and I had nothing positive to say! What made me most ballistic was Grady Little's insistence on trotting out Brett Tomko to the mound for a weekly pounding for most of the season. A start by Bomko equaled a sure fire loss.
I was in New York when I heard the news that Brett had finally been DFA'd. I just about fell to my knees from sheer joy and relief! Bomko's final stats were a sickening 2-11 and a 5.30 ERA. Seriously, anyone with numbers such as those would likely get kicked off a little league team. Why the Dodgers waited so long, I will never understand?! No use crying over spilled milk. Let's move on.
Since Brett's no longer on the club, what did the Dodgers do, you ask? They signed 44 year old lefty David Wells, who had also been DFA'd earlier by the San Diego Padres. Then they went out picked up Estaban Loiza off waivers from Oakland. Up until now, both moves have paid off. Wells has had two quality starts and just today, Loiza beat Carlos Zambrano. He held the free swinging Cubbies to 3 runs as the Dodgers scored 11 runs. Wow!
The Dodgers seem to be picking up steam. They are 3 games back of the wildcard spot and 4 from first place. Unfortunately, time us running out. There are only 25 games left in the season and IMO, they'd have to go 20-5 to come out on top. Either that or pray that the D'Backs and/or the Padres fold like a cheap suit. I'll pray a rosary every night if that's what it'll take!
Loving the Dodgers has never been easy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Perhaps they could catch fire like the Cardinals did last season and go all the way. Who knows?? Whatever happens, I can guarantee it will be dramatic. The Dodgers never seem to do anything the easy way!
As I mentioned earlier, I vacationed in New York. While there, I had the opportunity to catch the Dodgers at Shea Stadium on August 26 for David Wells' debut. Baseball in NY is quite the experience....all the way from the subway ride to the crotchity old man behind the counter selling Mets merchandise. Lord have mercy! Rude, rude, rude! I'll try to blog and get some pictures up soon.

In the meantime, when did the Dodgers start signing 10 year olds? Seriously, this Hu kid looks like he'd fit in my back pocket. Hu's on first? Heh heh, sorry, couldn't resist!!
