EDDIE MURRAY gets canned

I wrongly assumed he was healthy when this idiot gave him a huge contract. If they guy had no history and he just got hurt it would be understandable. But he had a history and they did it anyway. They would have been better served to sign Roger Clemens and me as opposed to Schmidt and Pierre. Because at least one of us would help the team this season and both of us would have signed one year contracts and not hurt the team for years to come.

Are you a switch-hitter?

The Dodgers aren't very creative in their attempts to improve the team!

Too bad the improvements haven't improved them.

Whole season probably will come down to whether KUO can pitch like the ultra-confident guy he was the other night.Without him pitching well,they have 2 1/2 good starters(LOWE,PENNY,WOLF.)Hendrickson,and Schmidt seem to be useless to the team (now atleast.) They could try Billingsley,but he is pretty much a mental lightweight( his stuff is good enough.) Billingsley,and Broxton both have real nice stuff,but both want to hide under the table when guys get on base.If these two ever grow a set,this team could be pretty tough.

I'll never forget Billingsley walking behind the mound,and somebody stealing home without a throw! Hendrickson started off well but has returned to last years' self. I was listening to radio and one of the guys says that Mike Easler is under consideration to replace Murray. Easler was hitting coach for D-AA and TripleA last year, when all the younger guys progressed so well. Could be interesting....

LOL,Scully torched Kevin Malone(for telling Scioscia he had no future in the organization.) That was pretty cool.
