This loss against the San Diego Padres last weekend was especially embarrassing. Double steal of home in the top of the 9th inning.
Of course, the blame rests solely on myself. About 10 minutes before this, I was telling some friends who are Giants fans that, “there’s a reason we’re in first place.”
Yeah, no.
I’m going to rename my fantasy baseball team the “God Damn Dodgers.”
Dodgers vs. Brewers at Dodger Stadium in 2008
Thank the gods! The Dodgers will have new ownership this spring (MAGIC JOHNSON!), ending the tumultuous, devastating, and demoralizing reign of the evil Frank McCourt.
Over at Big League Stew, Kevin Kaduk shares the 10 best things about being a Dodgers fan. Among them:
5. The uniform: Crisp, clean and classic, the Dodgers’ home whites have remained virtually unchanged for decades (notwithstanding McCourt’s poorly received decision to remove player names in 2005-2006). In a league where teams switch from purple and teal to “sedona red” in a heartbeat, the Dodgers’ sartorial consistency represents a comforting adherence to, well, looking damn good. All hail the red (number), white (polyester moisture-wicking performance mesh) and blue (Pantone 294)!
He also mentions traffic as one of the great things. I’m inclined to disagree. Anyway, it’s a new day in Los Angeles. I think I’m excited about baseball again!
