The Twilight of the Broxton

Postby Dgstan » Wed Aug 19, 2009 9:38 pm

If the Dodgers have any hope, they have to do two things:

1.) Put Broxton on the DL until his big toe is back to normal.
2.) Trade Russell Martin. The only time he doesn't hit into a double play is when there's already two outs.

Otherwise, we're going to be watching the playoffs at home.

Nonsense.

Keep this team the way it is. Don't trade anyone or fire anyone.

Doug,
We're going all this way this year. These are simply major trying times and I'd much rather go thru all this loving love losing now and get it out of the way.

We'll be fine, I guarantee it. Keep the faith.

What could possible be better than a guarantee in legal writing from Vince, I like it and I'm all in.

1) sometimes you have to take a step back to go forward or however that saying goes. originally, the dodger doggs wanted trevor hoffman to be their closer this year with broxton remaining in the setup role. when homeboy signed with the brewers i think sasquatch got kinda thrown back into the role by default. personally, if i was broxton, i'd approach torre and let the brim reaper close out games for the rest of the year and go back to the setup role. he's only 25 so his time will come. it's all about teamwork, holmes.

2) i agree about martin as well as loney. if you break down their everyday lineup, they are solid at every position with the exception of the 2 and 3. manny is starting to revert back to his boston days and doesn't seem to care at times while juan pierre to me, is demonstrating a better desire to win when they call upon him. this guy deserves to be in the lineup everyday in some capacity. furcal and pierre find ways to get on base and that speed on top of the lineup is dangerous considering the dodger doggs basically play little ball to win games. can pierre play first?

Russell must read the board (LoDuca does, no doubt). Nice job kid.

good move i thought by mt. rushmore (stoneface) yesterday to flip-flop their roles in the last 2 innings.

speaking of mt. rushmore, does this photo border on the fringes of sacrilege hun>?
