Well boys and girls, it's official.

I suppose I should start this vent saying that I have NO vested interest in the outcome of this or any other dodger game. (I no longer ever bet dodger games either for or against them, or o/u).

You might recognize me if you are ever walking down the streets of LA or Chicago. I'm the guy wearing a dodger cap, doger jersey, dodger boxers, and if I get a cut I swear it bleeds dodger blue.

Until today that is. I officially give up on this team forever. I don't care what they do to bolster the offense because nothing can help. I'm not a fairweather fan, I've rooted for this team since I was born through all the good years and every day until today. And through every bad year. They haven't won a playoff game since 1988. Sad state of affairs. They have no heart, no stars offensively, and nobody who cares enough to change this team.

I just finished throwing out my jersey, throwing my hat of the balcony, and burning the boxers in the sink. I cannot take it anymore. Where are the days of Guerrero, Garvey, Lopes, Cey, Landreaux, Gibson, Baker, and even Derrel Thomas. I would take Thomas or any other ex-Dodger over any player they have today. At least they tried and even had HEART.

Who the **** is RUAN, why is he in a dodger line-up. I don't care if Roberts is hurt. HE blows too. Don't even get me started on Izturis and Cora. Jesus H. Christ is this the worst offensive infield in the history of baseball. Zero home runs from 2nd and shortstop. ZERO. Throw in Beltre and you get 5 homers from the infield. Geriatric Fred McGriff who is a hall of famer decides to go to the hardest ballpark in baseball to hit a homerun in to go after 500. I saw a great prop bet from OLY. You can bet on what count he will hit his home run on. Are you kidding me. Like the bet isn't stupid luck in itself, you want to hold my money for 2 years before he has a legitimate shot to break it. LOL.

Well, never in my life would i thought I would have done this, but here goes Dodgers a big :thefinger :thefinger :thefinger

E-Z$$$$......3 names, bro......Claire, Malone, Evans.....these 3 guys over the last decade have run our team literally into the ground, financially, and talent-wise.

As for tonite's game......Evans, Hoffman, Ward......FAWK U, FAWK U, and FAWK U!:mad::mad::mad:

Hope you change your mind. It's unbearable to watch them play now-a-days, but it's the management who put the players on the field. I'll always be a Dodgers fan, I just hope they'll start playing better......soon.

I said it before, and I'll say it again. Hoffman needs to be fired, preferably after tonite's game. He's making all the wrong decisions on the 3rd base side.:mad:

Not a Dodger fan.....but their pitching staff is STILL one of the best, if not THE best, in the majors. At least that's something to be proud of. Dodgers been going downhill since FOX/Murdoch bought the team. Meanwhile, Disney's Anaheim Angels go on and win the World Series! Not saying they need a gimmick or anything, but bleeding Dodger blue is no longer the "it" thing in So Cal. Heck, Dodgers get relegated to FOX Sports West 2! Better to be a die hard Angels fan, I guess? :shrug:

I'm forming the I hate Daryl Ward fan club if anyone is interested. I'm appointing myself president, but looking for any hard working people for VP or treasurer. Only serious inquiries please.

Daryl ward is a piece of chit. IMO, I think that the Dodgers should try and make a play for Palmeiro. he IS out there and would go to a team with a Series shot. Mcgriff is not the answer (especially on the DL). I might also talk to Texas about Gonzalez. I know that he turned down the spos, but there is still hope to get that basterd outta town. He would play on grass, and supposedly Arizona is very interested in him. Might try and persuade the Tigers to give up Dmitri Young for a little help in the outfield, Help is out there, these guys just need to ball up

I used to be a hardcore dodger blue fan until that one day in 1985 when Tom Neidenfeur gave up that homerun to Jack Clark in the playoffs. I was so disgusted that they did not walk Clark with first base open that I decided that I would no longer root for the boys in blue. And thats when i became a hardcore Angels fan. Nonetheless, it is still hard to watch what Claire, Malone, and now Evans has done to this team. Soooooooo many bad moves by these three knuckleheads. Its such a shame too because I actually believed in a So Cal World Series exacta. I had the Angels to win it all at 60-1 last year & this year I have money on the Dodgers to win it all at 15-1. And its not looking good at the midway point. Oh well...

Jack Clark, what about game 5 Ozzie Smith blasting one out on Neidenfeur. Wasn't a dodger fan but will never forget Jack Buck telling cardinal fans, ?Go crazy folks, go crazy!?

interestingly enough...sportnet toronto picked up the game tonite from espn and i finally got to watch a DODGERS game.....and surprisingly it was ONE that i had bet on.....

and man, does Daryl Ward SUCK????

3 at bats and all he was thrown were sliders and he couldn't even touch one of them?????

that's sad.

Bottom eighth, Cabrera swings on 2 pitches that would have been ball 4, Greeny swings on another would-be ball 4, LoDuca (the only good position player on the team) walks next on 4 pitches and didn't even swing the bat, then comes lard ass Ward and swings on the 1st pitch......am I in the I Hate Ward Club?......You bet your fawking ass I am:mad:

The Dodgers management are spoiled rotten by the fans. Year in and year out the Dodgers always draw top 3 attendance in MLB, whether they win or lose. The fans in SoCal need to stop going to the games and send a message to Evans that enough is enough. You don't put a winner product on the field, then you're not getting our money to watch you lose. I realize not one player can be a savior to the team, but change is always good, and sends a message that you don't produce, you're outta here. It's such a shame that in a 3 game series when the Dodgers pitching gave up only 5 runs AT HOME, and they get ONE WIN, and they needed Perez to bring a no-no into the 8th to get that one. Christ!

Niedenfeur and his blue glove:lol2

hard luck boys. But at least the Dodgers are a team who put money in the bettors pocket (at least on the unders).

Now dont get me started on Seattle and Minny . .. .. :mad:
