All I can say is that mismanagement has fkd up the Dodgers to the point they may never come back. It's beyond me, how they ever chose that cold fish (BILLY RUSSELL) over Scioscia. Billy probably has got his hands full trying to manage his dick pills well enough to get hard once a week.

I think that shows how lucky the Angels have been as opposed to anything the Dodgers have done wrong. Kemp can hit. What is amazing is that he is striking out 25% of his at bats yet still hitting .315 with an OBP of .361. If he can just cut that a bit and put more balls in play he can easily be a .330 hitter because some of the balls in play will drop for hits. Martin is a tremendous hitter especially for a catcher. Furcal is a very good player but can never seem to stay healthy. If Ethier, Loney and De Witt keep hitting they will do ok because Kent almost has to get better but they just are missing the big power bat. They are ranked 7th in MLB in avg, 9th in OBP but just 24th in SLG, 22nd in RBI's, 28th in HR's and 29th in 2b's. Some of this is park related of course but the lack of extra base hits just kills them.
