2011 WS Championship
2012 one win from another WS
2013 two wins from another WS title
2014?

This is a franchise that has made the postseason 10 times in the last 14 seasons.
Reached three World Series in the last decade, and won as many championships (two) the past eight seasons as it did from 1965 to 2005.
Our new Manager has more post season experience than any other manager in baseball, except the Giants manager.
Three million attendance? Take it to the bank.
60 post season wins since 2004. 20+ wins more than any other team.
Only one of the last 14 seasons has been a losing one.

Im just hoping the Dodgers dont resign Hanley. When he's healthy he's pretty good, but he gets dinged up to easy plus we got some really good prospects waiting to be called up.

You are cool. LA Chief fan is the coward.

At least we didn't have Delcaso starting at SS again.

Against Kershaw? Matheny gave this game away when he turned in the line up card. Maybe having OT starting and his .300 average against LH instead of Robinson?

Kershaw doesn't have his good stuff today. He will battle but he's struggling with control a little

Your gonna struggle getting hits against Kershaw. I was referring to not even being able to lay down a bunt when you are a .200 hitter.

What's up with the #ineedmydodgers permanent placement on the screen? The billionaire owners wanting more cheap access to a Billion $ companies bandwidth and channels? They are fighting over BILLIONS and want joe schmo fan to help them?

They got that in the left top side of the screen. Some Time Warner sportsnet logo in the upper right and a scroll on the bottom with scores and more advertising. They got a $2 BILLION TV contract. Isn't that enough that you still have to see the game surrounded by advertising?

yeah we are seeing why the Angels willing gave us Bourjas and why Mo wanted Grichuk as part of the deal.

Kershaw is 4-5 against us for some weird reason. That has to be the best team record against him. The dude is almost always nails.

Direct TV and Comcast don't wanna pay an insane amount for the dodgers channel. That's why its up there. A lot of LA can't watch the games. So it's their little battle on who's gonna give in.

Its time warner that's doing this dodgers have no real say so anymore. They get paid regardless its time warner that's gonna lose lol

kcxiv · 06-29-2014, 04:51 PM

Well 3outs from the game ending but u guys need some hitting. Didn't show up at all for these 4 games really.

I understand but they signed the $2 BILLION TV cable contract knowing that most of LA wouldn't be able to view the games. They figured that they would just pressure Comcast to carry Time Warner product later. Doesn't work that way. Comcast does the same thing to TW.

It would seem that there is enough money to be made for everyone to get paid very well without blocking fans from seeing their team play.

Didn't show up for 1/2 the season. We have an old school manager who believes "his guys" will come around. 1/2 season later we are all waiting.

Pisses us fans off because we have options instead of hoping Mathenys "guys" start hitting.

We have the best hitting prospect in the minor leagues and we bring up Robinson who is hitting .139.

You would need four prime Oscar Taverases to fix this offense. It's a ****ing dumpster fire, and Mabry's head should be on a pike.

I absolutely loathe their offensive approach, and it's completely obvious the entire league has figured them out. Bust them inside and you've got them. They don't want to pull anything, so the worst case scenario is some opposite field broken bat flare.

yeah, it sux for the fans! im just outside of the blackout rules, and i have MLB.TV so i get all the Dodgers games. I pay a little bit for it, but when your team has a chance year in and year out to go to the big show, its worth paying for it. Hell, i pay for the Chiefs and its not worth it at times it seems. lol

I hope they get it figured out, its a damn shame the kids are missing Scully call games. he's gotta be done sooner or later, he's pretty old.

Well we only need 3 more now. Oscar is on his way to the majors again.

The Cardinals get the bases loaded with no outs.

Craig - Swings at a ball inside and looks like shit while striking out
Jay - Swings at a pitch and strikes out that bounced in front of the plate
Delcasco - Weak grounder to 2B

San Fran comes up in the bottom half and scores 3 runs in 3 batters.

Just ****ing typical.......
