Dodger Schadenfreude

Schulman tweets that Babs will start 4/2 in place of Greinke. The plot is thickening...

My son and I will be at the Dodgers-A's today, and then the Giants-Mariners tonight.

Stoksie is seeing a good one -- Zeets with 5 consecutive Ks...he was throwing BP fastballs this time last year...

Back to thread topic: HanRam roundly booed at AT&T tonight, then leaves the game with a jammed thumb...

HanRam out 2-10 WEEKS...couldn't happen to a douchier bag.


Except Victurdino

I have also eaten KFC today as a sacrificial chicken. Hopefully the gods are appeased and will forgive us...

Uh-oh...

Maybe we can trade Arias to them.





It would be an upgrade, regardless of injury.








Right?

I for one am in favor or letting tzill off the hook for that one. He's mea culpa'd plenty about it.

Having surgery tomorrow, out 8 weeks.

Is this a bad thing?

Well, I guarantee Arias will accumulate more WAR by the ASB....

Unless he puts up a neg WAR...

 

[calsnowskier]

So, on the tally sheet...

Giants:

Panda = "nerve damage" in his elbow, found bone spurs. He is not expected to miss much, if any, time.

Dodgers:

HanRam = Torn ligament in thumb. Will miss at least first 8 weeks of season.
Greinke = "Elbow tenderness". Doggies say it is minor. He MAY miss his first start.

I stand by what I said.

LOL

I agree with you, fwiw

From Bruce Jennkins:

The Dodgers are just a mess, period. Don't believe their PR propaganda suggesting Zack Greinke's elbow soreness is "no big deal." It's a huge deal. Carl Crawford still isn't fully recovered from Tommy John surgery, and Matt Kemp (shoulder surgery) may not have his A-1 power swing until mid-season.
Perhaps it all comes together for the free-spending Hollywoodites. Then again, come September, perhaps we'll hear that Ramirez's injury "screwed up our whole season." Exactly what the WBC does not want to hear.

More anti-Dodger press

It took a fortune to assemble the 2013 Los Angeles Dodgers, and it may take many more millions to turn them into a championship-caliber team - Grantland

LOL! This is so true. the 2013 Dodgers are pretty much the same bums that we beat last year. They got a $215 million dollar payroll, but much of it is being spent on deadweight like Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez. The Red Sox really fleeced them. They are also spending a lot of money on Andre Ethier, who is more and more looking like a platoon player.

Apologies for my retentiveness, but can someone please fix the thread title to spell "Schadenfreude" correctly? After which, you are free to delete this post.

Danke schoen.
