I don't get to listen to many Dodger games. I do not get to watch many Dodger games but it does make me very happy that Vin Scully is coming back. The living legend recently announced his intentions on coming back and quite frankly, if he is healthy, I do not see him walking away ever.
When we visit my parents out in the burbs, my dad watches the Dodgers games online. It was such a treat to watch the game and listen to the legend work his magic.
He has been broadcasting since 1948. 1948....Granted he just does home games and west coast trips but he is the voice of the Dodgers. He is an iconic voice of baseball and he is in my opinion the best ever. Thank you for coming back for another season.
All good things must come to an end and Rick Monday is good but there will never be another Vin Scully.

Christmas came early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I am sooooooooo happy!
Juan Pierre is no longer a Dodger. He is due to make 18.5 million dollars over the next two years. I think the Dodgers still have to pay 10 million of the contract. The Dodgers also get two minor leaguers in return. Finally, my wish has come true!
Now, Juan Pierre last year had a good year for him. It was quite unusual given his past, a 50 point blip in his OBP. Do not expect it to continue especially in the AL. His OPS might be 650 next year...maybe. Yuck.
Good bye and SO LONG! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!

NOOOOOOOOO!
Consider me crushed. Consider me shocked. Odd day has turned truly odd.
Manny Ramirez has tested positive for "performance enhancing drugs" and will be suspended 50 games. The Dodgers are off to an amazing start and have set a new record of most wins at home to start the season.
Manny is one of my favorite players. He comes across so much different than any other star athlete. Plus, I truly think that he is top 5 greatest right handed hitters of all time.
Boston fans love to complain that Manny does not try or does not care enough. Well, I guess that complaint is gone. He is willing to risk his career to be a better player.
It just doesn't make sense. Manny is so aloof. Steroids are not just about popping a pill or shooting yourself. It takes time and patience to cycle these in and out of your body not to mention discipline.
Well, as I write this, we are finding out it is not steroids but some banned substance that was given to him by a doctor. This sounds more like Manny, Manny being an idiot! Check that damn list of banned substances.
Anyway, for the next 50 games, Juan Pierre is going to get more playing time....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
See you around July 4 Manny. You will be missed!

Season starts well!
The Dodgers beat the Giants on opening day 5-0 and Brad Penny looked great. It is only one game out of 162. What really warmed my heart is the following:
Dodgers LF Juan Pierre, bypassed in favor of Andre Ethier, sat out the game, which ended his consecutive-games streak at 434.
The Dodgers are FINALLY realizing the truth. Both Juan and Nomar did not play which is a good thing. Lets keep them on the bench. Let the KIDS PLAY!

LU...and Andruw Jones...I am excited!
I am going to my first Rambler game of the season tonight. After the game, I will post my thoughts on the rest of the season. I have been so much traveling that I have already missed three home games. I am just excited to be going up to campus for the game.
Andruw Jones signed a two year contract with the Dodgers! That is awesome! He is a declining star so the two years is ideal. I have argued with a fellow braves fan for years now that Andruw Jones is overrated these days when it comes to defense. Andruw Jones is still a good player and the Dodgers need a CF. Juan Pierre...worst contract by far that Ned Colletti has done since coming over. Now that we have Andruw Jones, Juan Pierre is no longer our centerfielder. YESSSSSSSSS! I say cut him (even though he is entitles to $36m over the next four years...crying, I am crying).
If the Dodgers even think of moving Juan Pierre to left, I am will go CRAZY! Left field is an easy defensive position. That is why a big bat usually plays LF. Pierre did not have enough bat to play CF. They can not put him there. I will lose my mind. Let Andre Ethier play LF. AHHHHHHHHH!
Its a good day. LU basketball tonight and the Dodgers moving in the right direction.
