SELL All The DODGERS

Yes I'm going to scribble out a few more posts after all.


Admittedly, I was a little bummed by the way things were going. The Dodgers were losing every game there for awhile. The stat kids were saying stupid stuff like trade Capuano and Eovaldi because this season's over. The fair weather fans were picking at and kicking almost every Dodger and member of the organization. 


Sickening really. I give WBBsAs some credit, although he's one of the worst dead-horse beaters in the chatrooms, he's also a true fan and unwilling to give up hope.


Tragic Illness had given up with the Dodgers two games out of the playoffs. He said he was happy to take an unpopular position. I hope he was just as happy to take a stupid and cowardly position.


If someone is willing to give up on any season when the going suddenly gets tough or you fall a little ways out of the top spot, well, you don't want someone like that on your team.


For being quitters all the stat kids should be shipped off to AssClown Island. Give them a dial-up connection and let them tell epic stories to each other about BABIPS, FIPS and the day they lost their rWAR.


YOU KNOW YOU'RE A STAT KID IF... 
YOU WOULDN'T TRADE ZACK LEE FOR ARAMIS RAMIREZ IN A HEARTBEAT.


Attention Eric Stephen!!!


Good Ole VODF contributed a good-sized financial gift to your spring training trip because you're a hard working son-of-a-gun. Stati--ness aside, I respect warriors.


Funny to note, I was banned from your chatroom on my second visit. Usually it takes 6 or 7 visits for VODF to get banned. It was definitely a premature banning even though banning was inevitable.


The Trueblue chatroom is a smarter, older, cliquier and a much more in-love-with-itself version of the Tragic Illness chatroom. Meaner, nastier in nature. Not as unknowing about baseball. But people who are all clearly happy with themselves and their cliquiness. 


Too bad Eric. You do good work. It would serve you well to have your chatroom moderated by people with a little more even-handedness. I would still be banned with good reason but you'd have a chatroom more welcoming to regular folk.


A Quick Catch-up


N. Eovaldi continues to develop. A cutter and curve ball now added to the mix. Upward trending EO. He's a keeper. 


Mr. Cruz. A fine story and contribution. But Dee will be playing shortstop when he's fully recovered. Period. Dee the future all-star should be something special in the not-to-distant-future.


A.J. Ellis continues his alarming accumulation of K's. He's now struck out 17 times in July. He's got 4 walks during that period. Glad the Dodgers have him. Glad he's not leading off or batting second.


Hairston should be the Dodgers starting 3B with lots of time off.


Rivera playing 1B against right-handed pitching is clearly a Donnie Baseball blindspot.


Please trade Z. Lee for Aramis. The opportunity cost is well worth it.
