I have to hope something does, anyway.This year my Dodgers have held my attention - more than the normal year's 90 early morning seconds on the throne in the while I scan the box scores.
2006 has been a rollar-coaster, characterized by losing and winning streaks in double digits, untimely injuries and timely trades, mediocre pitching and power. At this point they are 1 game in 1st with 33 left to play.
All I can say is there is good chemistry and not an easy out from 1st to 8th in the line-up. Names like Russell Martin, Nomar Garciaparra (w/ Mia Hamm!) Andre Ethier, Chad Billingsly, Takashi Saito, Rafael Furcal.I'm out of the closet this morning, copping to having had Dodger Blue blood in my veins since 1953.
I tell you, I'm going to hang with them a while longer.
This year is no different, excepting I'm aware of why I need the Dodgers - and baseball - more than ever.
Greetings from a depressed Red Sox fan.

ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog. I thought the NYT piece on Green was very realistic, but again, I'm not an aficianado.
ReplyDeleteI too love baseball, particularly St. Louis Cardinals baseball, or Florida Marlins baseball, depending on where I am living at the time :-)
ReplyDeleteAll baseball is local?
