Lets not forget the litter box they call a stadium he's been playing in. Eckstein coulda hit 25 bombs in that place.

Grew up in azusa/la puente/baldwin park, surrounded by doggie fans. '82, at the age of 11, i distinctly remember being heart broken for the first time when we lost the series with the brewers after being up 2-0. Been a member of " baseball pergatory inc."since then.

Storm, how is it you consider last years team "bad"? They were 16 games above .500.

The color guys on espn stated that mike had told them he and the players didnt feel out of contention. Ok.

Who where we going to get besides jerry, the rays were not parting with feldman. Beane? Mcdaniels? All good gm's are locked down and rigjtfuly so.

Trouts look while stranding there at third was priceless

The look on the texas players faces was like "love playin' these bitches".

Ahem, yeah not a whole lot of positives to speak on THIS season.

Kb, you had to know what type of response you'd get with that post, on this board, right?

It could be worse, we could be....oh screw it.

Jeromr almost slways comes up big when they need him to. Im more worried bout tom nights game. No team makes a bigger ass of itself than this team when playing on national tv. If they can keep from stepping all over themselves tom night ill be thrilled.

Does playing 12 straight hours of mlb the show count?

My vote for a starter in a 1 game playoff would be JW, the non white JW, that is.

Scott Downs must be involved here in some way. You know, the giving away free part.

Im gonna catch hell for sayin this, but i really think this team ,as constructed, can win and compete. We were due for a year like this, i mean, we've been a successful org for over a decade this was bound to happen. Theres been a hex on this season from the get go. If they keep this team together for another year, i believe things will turn around. Just my opinion

You just seem to be a little jumpy this morning, thats all

LT, i'm def on your side on this one, but man, caffinated much?

..is in the tank right now. I was a loser, with no life, but at least my team was successful and winning division championship's. Now, well...

So what's your point here?

Why this team always seems to sh*t the bed when televised on espn?

Great point dawg, said this same thing to myself earlier today.

JD was hoping to bring in some league average pitching in hopes that they would at LEAST be league average, which obviously isn't happening.

What's really eff'd up is oak just came back to win a game they were down by five runs to a really good baltimore team. Why can't we show that kind of heart? This team seems to be absolutely lost.

No, I think we've even surpassed the marlinsas far as being the most disfunctional franchise in sports. At least they make no bones about the fact that they're bad. We just lost to a team that was bitch slapped by the astros just last night.

The culture here has changed, this environment is no longer conducive to winning. These players coming over fromsaid environments ( st.louis, texas) obviously don't know how to handle it.
