The Streak

Maddux hasn’t won in his last FOURTEEN starts.

Would it kill you to read an SLPiH just once?? Jesus Lopez.

Jesus Lopez y su Madre Santa Maria

I read them every day dude. I think the Pads are going to continue to win. Just to eff with Maddux’s mind.

I’ve never been so distraught over a win streak.

On that note...

Nationals are off today…and the Mariners are beating the Rangers 5-4 in the bottom of the sixth.

To ease your mind, all you have to do...

is remember two words. Bud Black. Just keep repeating these two words over and over again and the win streak magically disappears.

I really hope the D-Backs trade for Teixeira.

Hopefully the Braves will screw them out of a bunch of talent for a 2-month rental.

are you implying that it would be good if the Pads swept the Douchebags this week?

so that they felt pressured to trade for a bat?

they should take away the NL West entry this season. Double wild card for the NL east and central.

I am with this

How about a new rule where there are two wild card teams in a league if one division fails to produce a .500 team? It could actually happen this year, with the NL West’s entrant into October 2008. I don’t think it’s mathematically possible to have two divisions with only sub .500 teams…

Does anyone else realize...

That he just said “win all 27 games in August”? I mean, because, I mean, come on!

I don't have to always be right. I just have to always think I'm right.

I know, i know, I just like the winning ways, we of course won't win all 27

as long as spoil and move up to third in West I would be satisfied

I'm pretty sure

Drama or WG is the Propaganda minister here.

But I don't know if being like Drama or WG should be one of them

Maybe you should shoot for more like Jbox…

With our hitting turning the corner

And Peavy and Young in the rotation and Adams solidifying the 7th, the Strasburg is looking pretty unlikely. Those Nationals are real bad.

Scan is saying the tip of the cap was for the strikeout record to go 10th all time

he says he won’t go anywhere not in the West. I for one, really like Maddux and would love to see him stay

Well

The Dodgers are pitching Jason Freaking Johnson tomorrow. I think they could use him.

I don't have to always be right. I just have to always think I'm right.

Yeah, and Kuroda got rocked tonight by the Giants, but that doesn't mean they will take him

We have to play them a ton before the end of the season, can we hit Maddux if he does go?

by kdukat on Jul 28, 2008 10:19 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I really don't see

How playing them factors in. If we can get something in return it’s worth it. This season is a lost cause. We still have a chance, but we should look to the future way more than we look to the present.

I don't have to always be right. I just have to always think I'm right.

Yeah, I know, I was just curious, don't know if the Dodgers will take him

I keep reading they are just waiting for Penny to come back

by kdukat on Jul 28, 2008 10:24 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'd like to see him win more games

wherever he pitches

Agreed. Everyone wants to see Maddux get some wins.

I hope that’s as a Padre….but he really needs to pass Clemens on that win list, so if it’s as a Dodger, then so be it.
