Scuds it will be a lonf 2 months for you, this act with the "don" of managers will get old in LA very fast

Remember how i felt last year when there was no need for Joba to pitch in that inning with all the bugs around. If Torre pulls them off the field , does Selig really make the Yanks forfeit that game??? Who knows of the outcome would have been different but he did not give his team the best chance to win last year in the playoffs and no its rubbing off on the left coast team from Brooklyn

That's a good point(about the bugs.) It was worse when Joba was out there. He was probably sweating like fatboy(cubed,) and they are very attracted to sweat. I did think the Yanks got a very bad handicap in that whole bug situation, and (since '77-'78) I am the last person to say the Yanks were ripped off. He was very bothered by the bugs, and they weren't nearly as bad when the Cleveland pitcher went out there. You're right(he should of taken his team off the field until it got better.) Dodger fans are very mad at this guy right now. It isn't just me. I am just typical of what you would read from them.UIt was basically a forfeiture. Actually Cory Wade should have been beat. He hung a bunch of fat pitches, and left men on base each inning(very lucky to avoid giving up a run.) Then, he brings in a guy who threw 4-5 innings 2 days before. Doesn't make any sense. The whole reason for not using his best 2 relievers was they were working too hard? What about using this guy who started on Sunday? WTF is that all about? Crazy manager. He can't justify HAVING THAT JOHNSON GUY IN THERE.He would be the most tired arm on the team, and he put it in his hands. Un-fkn-believable.

Johnson (1-1) got one out two days after throwing 87 pitches over 4 1/3 innings in a 9-3 victory over the Diamondbacks. The Dodgers used five relievers and had two left, but manager Joe Torre was saving closer Jonathan Broxton and Hong-Chih Kuo was unavailable after pitching five times in eight days.

"They asked me to go out there, I'll go out there," Johnson said. "It's the big leagues, you know."

It's obvious this Johnson wasn't prepared to pitch 2 days after throwing 87 pitches. This is such stubborn bullshit by an old man who made his mind up that this game wasn't a must win, and I think any game you can win right now is a must win. I think it's the worst decision-making I have seen from a manager in a long time. Fact is Kuo had 56 hours rest. That is enough in a pennant race.

Lowe was throwing batting practice tonite, and Joe just sat there until he gave up 8 runs. Wants to be liked by his pitchers too much.

He ain't the only one. FKN GRADY would do this with this damn pitcher ,too, and this is the one pitcher who really does/doesn't have it. I've never seen him find it. I can't believe he let him pitch to Pujols with the bases loaded. The guy is totally unable to get the ball down. He can easily see this from the dugout, but sends him to slaughter. Not my idea of a good manager in any way, shape, or form.

This LOHSE guy is 13-3 since signing a 1 year contract with St.Louis? Doesn't this make that Duncan guy the best pitching coach ever? Either he is, or they have the best pitching drugs in the world. That piece of crap Weaver won World Series games there, and ain't done sh-it since(or before.)
