dodgers are the 2nd best team in the nl

[pat venditto]

only team better is the cubs. unreal this team came out of nowhere . the pickups of manny/casey blake really make this team a contender.

[ryanXL977]

theyll cool off


az is better
cubs better
milw may be better, we will see on that

[Brock Landers]

I'd say the Mets and Milwaukee are both better than LA

[ZBOIZ]

Milwaukee is by far better than the Dodgers! Better starters and Bats!

[pat venditto]

we will see whos better brewers/dodgers starting tommorow pal.

[ryanXL977]

dodgers are hot
teams get hot
teams get hold

[pat venditto]

this team isnt only hot pal i've been watching them since the trades. they are fundamentally sound pal. this team has heart and they all seem like they are on the same page. they are hungry

[onlooker]

Please don't start these type of threads until the current game(s) are over.

[ryanXL977]

why do you say pal so much
they didnt do shit till the trade

az wins the west
dodgers are hot, they will cool off
phils will heat up

162 games pal!

[onlooker]

Lets just let the Dodgers sweep the Phillies tonight, ok?

[TheLock]

The Dodgers aren't even top 3 (this coming from a Dodgers fan).

Like ryan said, in a 162 game season, teams are bound to get hot at some point. The Phillies are reeling. Myers is about as craptastic as they get.

Come October, the Dodgers will be playing tons of golf.

Dodgers '08 = Rockies '07

Dodgers wouldn't get swept in the WS like the Rockies though. They got far better pitching and one of the greatest postseason hitters in Man-Ram!!!!!!

[ryanXL977]

i may agree with dagger there
lets wait to see if they make the loffs
i still believe az is better
adding dunn is no worse than manny

[pat venditto]

very balanced, solid team in every department. gonna be fun to watch them take the west

[pat venditto]

adam dunn is terrible. guy is hitting 200. he either hits the ball 800 feet or k's

[ryanXL977]

who cares what his average is, thats like saying dice k is the best pitcher bc he is 13-2

dunn has a obp of like 900 or somehting, and he has an obp of 400, thats all i care about. he makes a first place team a helluva lot better

how is dunn worse than manny? tell me?

[pat venditto]

comparing adam dunn to manny is very comical.

[TheLock]

Batting average is how ESPN determines a "good" baseball player.


OPS (On-base plus slugging for those who are wondering) is the stat I look at.

[ryanXL977]

patty, you think if dunn was on boston with ortiz and drew and lowell rather than jerry hairston and corey patterson surrounding him his numbers would be worse than manny?

at least dunn tries to play d

[onlooker]

Ok, the sweep is complete. Continue on with your Dodgers are great chat, or whatever.

[daggerkobe]

Dunn helps the D-backs but as good as Man-Ram? Come on.......


Man-Ram .315 (130-for-413) 25HR 84RBI 60BB 94K .414 OBP .562 SLG .976OPS
Adam Dunn .234 (90-for-385) 32HR 76RBI 83BB 124K .374 OBP .522 SLG .896 OPS

[rjt721]

Dodgers are winning the pennant.

[daggerkobe]
