Play Amongst Yourselves
September 20, 2008 at 7:07 pm | Posted in Happy Birthday MSTI! | 8 CommentsNo new post today, unless Vin has something cooking I don’t know about. Today’s my birthday, so I’m taking a break. In the meantime, quick thoughts…
* DodgerThoughts wonders why Eric Stults has been completely ignored, and I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been wanting to see Stults get a start or two for some time, namely here and here.
* Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times questions whether Greg Maddux might not make the playoff rotation, which is basically what I said when I picked a playoff roster, although that was before it looked very unlikely that Brad Penny would be taking up a spot. The story also notes that Torre said he would use 4 playoff starters rather than 3, which I disagree with, but could live with. Here’s what gets me, though – why is there a question that Hiroki Kuroda would be the third starter? He’s been excellent lately, so I don’t know how you could think that Maddux would be a better choice right now.
* More than one person has asked me for a Rafael Furcal update lately, so here you go, from Doug Padilla of the Daily News. Seems that the back is no longer the issue, but his leg.
* It’s not Dodger-related, but FireNedCollettiNow has a picture that’s going to give you nightmares forever.
* Nomar as Barbaro? I could see it.

I’m actually very bummed today because I was hoping today’s picture would be a “5″ and not a “6″. Aaarrggghhh!!!

Happy Birthday, Mike. Have a good one. After last night’s game, I think I should reconsider this no smoking, no drinking thing. Remind me, the next time I see Angel Berroa to punch him in the throat.

Thanks guys! Torgy, all I know about last night’s game is that they won and Manny hit two more dingers. I can’t wait to go check out the recap and see what Berroa did to anger you so much.

Ninth inning error that forced Eggplant to throw some dozen extra pitches. That, and the fool nearly got Hu? punted into left center on a force out, when the easier play was to first. Man has a brain like a mature cucumber.
