Dodgers Playing Well, or Well Over Their Heads?

I was just wondering, when is the Frank McCourt Protest Rally going to take place? There has been no news regarding this matter since early April.

I would love to go, but I’m becoming worried that if we hold off too long, the Dodgers will win the division title. That would be really embarrassing. It’s bad enough that they are in first place right now; they’re hitting the ball well and solidly pitching.

Don’t be fooled, Dodger fans! Frank’s plan is to win as many games as possible to keep you from being angry at him. Don’t be swayed by this ploy. He is an outside East Coaster. Frank doesn’t understand or care about us L.A. fans.

We must fight this evil man. I, for one, hope the Dodgers start losing again and get back what is rightfully ours. Who’s with me?

At the beginning of this season, most baseball fans thought the Dodgers would have another mediocre year. So, why have they been playing respectable baseball? Lucky? They’re 10-0 in one-run games, etc. But more important, they’ve played patsies! Before the series against the Cubs, the Dodgers had played seven teams, five of them with losing records.

Eventually, the Dodgers will have to play some decent teams. Dodger fans, enjoy the moment, because at the end of the season you’ll once again be watching the playoffs and, once again wondering what happened to the Dodgers after that good start.

On Wednesday, I witnessed an epic at-bat by Alex Cora in which he fouled off 14 consecutive pitches before hitting a home run. I’m not so sure the rest of the Dodger Stadium crowd saw it, however, as they were busy doing the wave throughout most of Cora’s 14-minute battle for the ages.

Dodger fans often get a bad rap, and the wave is one of the reasons why. This tired exercise began in the early ‘80s and was novel for the first, oh, 10 years. But more often than not, fans tend to institute the wave indiscriminately, with no regard to the game’s situation.

The Blue Crew are finally giving us a reason to come out to the ballpark. If we want the team to be a winner, let’s start acting as if we care as well.

I have been able to see the Dodgers this year almost exclusively on TV and so have been blessed by Vin Scully. Then I snapped it on only to find that Vin has missed a recent trip and I was subjected to Rick Monday.

Rick is a great American, a great ballplayer and a horrible broadcaster. It is just painful to listen. In fact when I am in the car, if he is the broadcaster, I turn the ballgame off.

Please, McCourt. Replace this guy.
