In all honesty, how many games do you think Torre cost ya's? Your boys can play, and I doubt Manny has EVERYTHING to do with it.

All together, Torre's mistakes (and the stupid fck'n up by airheads on the field) I'd say they should be 10 games above .500. They are 1 game above .500. So, to answer your question, they are 9 games better than their record.
I would say more, but they don't hit good pitching well. See, your team is a good one for us to face, because you have a couple decent starters, and evidently not much out of the pen(other than Lidge, and I guess you don't use him unless you're ahead.) I figured we would beat Romero. I saw him pitch for the Angels , and he was pretty bad. Sometimes he got out acouple lefty batters, but overall , he got hit hard regularly. I don't know how the f you have gotten anything out of that guy, but just be aware you been lucky, cuz he ain't much. We do o.k. against your type of club. You like a small park to hit balls out of, and this park just frustrates your hitters a bit. Mainly, your pitching is the type we need in order to score some runs. Dodgers, for sure, do better against some teams, and struggle with others. We struggle against St. Louis and Atlanta. Wouldn't want to face the fish, either. Chicago is a bad match-up for us(good starters.) We can't beat good starters. Your boy had us tonite. Did he run out of gas? Believe me, it ain't us. It was him. You ran into a team that decided to make up for a couple real fck up games. That was unlucky for you. If we had won 2 out of 3 from the Giants, then I think we would have lay down for ya. That sounds sick, but it's the way this team is. I'd be very surprised to see the Dodgers beat you tomorrow. They got pretty high tonite, and they often come back the next day with absolutely zero fire after that. How's Blanton been doing? After a comeback win, they could lay down real good. They are .500 for a lot of reasons, and one of them is they are often flat at the plate after big wins.
