In one of the greatest upsets in sports history, Frank McCourt actually shelled out the money to sign first round draft pick Zach Lee.
It even caused Ferio to briefly call off his strike to make a quick photoshop:
Do you believe in miracles?
Who's A Worse GM?
Ned Coletti or whichever Arizona executive agreed to the Dan Haren trade?
Dodgers trade James McDonald AND Andrew Lambo for 37 year old Octavio Dotel
Dodgers trade Blake Dewitt and 2 prospects for 5th starter Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot.
Fuck these pointless trades of getting mediocre veterans for decent prospects. I'm joining Ferio on strike until McCourt sells the team or Coletti is fired.
Time To Make A Run
Long time, no post! Between work being crazy busy and a couple of family events this month, I haven't had much time to watch Dodger games, let alone write about them. I was finally able to watch a couple of the Dodgers-Mets games this weekend, and even saw the miracle of George Sherrill pitching a 1-2-3 inning to get the win after Loney's walk-off on Saturday.
These next 10 games are going to be big for the Dodgers season. 7 against the Padres, 3 against the Giants, both teams in front of them in the NL West. The starting pitching has been unbelievable these last 5 games, and hopefully it can continue. Ferio, always the pessimist, says no and already bet me $10 that the Dodgers lose this series to the Padres. Ferio is continuing on his Dodgers boycott, thanks to the McCourt divorce, and he gets upset everytime they win because he thinks it makes it less likely that McCourt (either Jamie or Frank) will sell the team if they have a good season. What. A. Hater. I've even noticed that he's been wearing a lot of orange and black clothing lately....
Adios, USA
About an hour away from what can be my Mexico's elimination from the World Cup, I'd like to take this moment to wish team USA a safe flight home. They exceeded my expectations by playing a fourth game in this cup, and should go home with the satisfaction that they played their hearts out.
As for the irrational, ref-blaming, ignorant, and racist fans, thank you for reminding me why I root for your team to fail. I hope you see this every time you close your eyes for the next 4 years.
It's yet to be seen how long this joy will last me but I'm enjoying it so here's a few more pics from around the interweb :)
Congrats, Edwin Jackson!
I've already declared my love for Edwin Jackson here, so it should come as no surprise that I was ecstatic to hear that Jackson thru a no-hitter against his former team. Thank the baseball gods, it wasn't the Dodgers.
Public Enemy Number One
So referee Koman Coulibaly nullified a goal for the USMNT earlier this morning and is the focus of anger of the approximate 15 futbol fans in the states.
It was a valiant effort after fighting back from being down 0-2 against world power Slovenia, but in the end Mr. Coulibaly made sure it stood at a tie. If I could, I would present him with a medal for his bravery, mostly for keeping my hopes of a 3 and out U.S. participation in this World Cup alive.
