You see, Frank, the Dodgers organization simply does not respect the immense skills that led me to those accolades, but I feel that people who are more familiar with how awesome I am would feel much differently.

2008 Season In Review: First Basemen
First base is a position that people heavily associate with power hitters, and the Dodgers were hoping that James Loney's power had finally emerged late in the 2007 season. Unfortunately, the power surge never continued into 2008, and everybody is now left wondering whether it will ever come.

Dodgers pitchers....

Penny struggled with shoulder problems this year and went 6-9 with an ERA of 6.27 in 17 starts. I know Penny struggled at Shea and I'd be concerned...

I saw the story in today's Plain Dealer about Casey Blake being under consideration to fill the Tribe's hole at 3B this winter.
For some reason that old jingle from an old Simpson's episode - the one where Homer starts a side business as a snow plow operator - came to mind.

Dodgers To Move Russell Martin
Just when you think the Dodgers couldn't get any fucking dumber, Peter Gammons drops this gem.
"2. Russell Martin. Some Dodger officials have spread the word that Martin will either be traded or moved to third base, with a Jason Varitek signing a possibility. Whether or not it actually happens will be interesting to see, but teams looking for catching, like the Red...
