Playing him at SS is like playing a man short in the field. And it wasnt like he was really hitting well. And you didnt really expect him to stay healthy did you?

They won 2-0 lastnight. So, they still are a poor offensive team. They were behind by 7 runs Monday Night, and battled back for six runs, and then stopped. They couldn't get the tieing run. That's what I mean. They lack late game hitting. Blake has been a difference maker though. Garciaparra was hitting well since coming back from the last injury. I don't know the numbers, but I know he was seeing the ball well,and hitting pitches flush. You're right about him being a poor defensive player right now. Since we struggle more on offense than on defense, I wish he was in the line-up.I don't know what thenew injury is. I did see the play though, and it looked so minor. I can't believe he got hurt from that lil play(actually, it is unfknbelievable.)

I guess people don't remember when I was on here begging them to not pay NOMar 20 MIL over 2 years. For some reason, others thought he wouldn't get hurt. This from a guy with a crippled hip during the 2006 playoff series.

Oh My!!!! Get Manny and don't even lose Eithier or Kemp for him?!

Andruw Jones appears to be a true reserve now.
Largest paid reserve ever.

They could field the worst defensive team in recent history with Pierre in CF, Manny in Left, Nomar at SS and kent at second.

Broxton didn't come close last night. Giants are in his head. He is useless right now against the Giants. Fact is the Dodgers got about 6 hits today, and it's not enough. Loney is doing nothing. Martin is doing nothing. Kemp finally got a hit,but he is overrated offensively. Manny is doing his job. Giants and their fans have nothing better to do than to try to beat the Dodgers. They get geeked up for every game, and then they don't take care of business when they play everyone else. When you are like 20 games under .500, and you got a comeback win last night, then you feel like ya got nothing to lose. They are playing loose, because nothing is on the table for them. Absolutely nothing to lose. The 1st 2 hits against Kuo were pretty lucky breaks. He got the pop up on the bunt attempt. Then, he got 3 ground balls, and they didn't take care of business with those groundballs(at all.) They are simply not a well managed team. The talent is there, but the fundamental plays don't get made. Blake has to make that play. Berroa, and Ozuna gotta do better with those groundballs they had. It shouldn't come down to having to make perfect fielding plays though. Broxton and Kuo both have the heat to try to throw the ball past guys, and they aren't doing it. They're scared to get hit. That finesse crap is called playing to contact, and when you do that you are gunna have to make plays on defense. They aren't challenging guys. This team's pitchers never throw inside enough, and they don't hit unless they had their a-s-s kicked in the game before the present one. It would appear that no matter what, this team is gunna simply fail to get it done. They aren't playing good fundamental baseball. Today they lost because they didn't hit well enough, and they didn't field well when they had to. Last night they lost because Broxton is a woman. Last Wednesday, they lost because Joe didn't take Lowe out until he had given up 8 runs. They could of had a great chance in that one (if he simply took out his struggling veteran pitcher.)No, he refused(he's a dumb fkr.) The game before was lost because he sent Johnson out in the 11th inning of a game 2 days after the guy started a game against the Diamondbacks. The 2 losses against the Diamondbacks were because they got 2 runs total in those 2 games. He is a very poor manager. That is simply a fact I didn't have a clue of until he got here. He sticks with starters(to show support) well after it's obvious that they don't have it. That's asanine. He should have his candyass kicked in for that crap. Today's loss was related to last night's. That woman gave it up. So,naturally they felt good about winning late in this one, and they got some huge breaks. Last night was 100% choke by Broxton, and that usually fks a team up for the next game against that same team. Broxton's choking is a cancer that keeps hurting this team. Gets everybody tight. They didn't want to lose again the same way, and they got tight fielding balls for Kuo. Fact is he got 3 groundballs, and a pop-out. They didn't do enough to support him. He also missed the ball going by him. This is quite simply a bunch of losers. That's why they get close, and start fking up instead of getting it done. They've been fking up like this for 20 years. They can't get winners. They get the talent, but they don't execute plays like they should. It's gunna take a change in attitude in the whole organization. The whole organization is too tolerant of poor fundamental play, and poor quality at bats. I keep coming back to management, because they simply aren't be managed. They do the least with the most. The Angels do the most with the least. Exactly the opposite management.
