Dodger fans is anyone else fed up with this commitment to mediocrity. Dodgers have one playoff victory and zero series wins since 1988. Something has got to change. In an interview last week colletti stated his stay the course rhetoric and he truly believes dodger fans are foolish enough to think that joe torre alone will take an 82 win squad to the playoffs. The fact is since the McCourts took over they have not spent money on a single big free agent. We continue to get these washed up veterans who are often injurred and years past there prime ex. *Bill Mueller-3b... injurred less than a month into first season * Nomar Garciaparra- signed a two year extension after only one productive season nomar has missed time in each of the past five seasons. * Jason Schmidt- signed a huge contract last season, had a history of injury but management didnt care * J.D. Drew- the thing that irritates me most about this one is we signed him for similar money as it would have been to retain adrian beltre who was almost an mvp the year before.....drew promptly got paid and under preformed
Im fed up with hearing excuses and how good the farm is I love James Loney, Billingsley, Kemp, and Kershaw but even without them we still have high grade prospects that we could use to get back an adrian beltre or trade for a troy glaus, miguel cabrerra, hank blalock, joe crede etc.
At the winter meetings next week i want to see action and if as dodger fans we dont see an Aaron Rowand, Andruw Jones and or Hiroki Koruda I dont think we should continue to go to chavez ravine. Fans need to make a statement that we love this team but we wont but up with garbage any longer. We are the Los Angeles Dodgers for goodness sake we draw more fans and revenue than anybody that isnt named New York Yankees. Its time to act like it.
Die hard passionate fan who loves the Dodgers, Lakers, Kings, Raiders and Bruins. I call home the beautiful city of long beach, where i can surf snowboard and swim all I want. I lifeguard in the summertime and currently go to school to be a firefighter. Other than sports my second passion is cars I love to purchase old beat up cars and double there value with a little elbow grease. Dad and i worked on a 66 el camino as a kid and now im hooked.
