M.I.A.

Where have I been the last month you ask? Well, much like the Dodgers, I took the last 4 weeks off. Took the CA Bar Exam, had a vacation, ignored the slumping jackasses and now am back to reality. Ugh!

We suck. What other words can describe this joke job. I feel like the Angels circa their title. End of July, we're in first place, now we're in 4th with seemingly no hope to crawl out. How fast it can go wrong on you.

What's wrong in LA? Well for starters our pitchers crapped the bed, Grady is an idiot and Ned makes terrible moves. The fact that Tomko and Hendrickson keep making starts just BOGGLES the mind. Penny is fine, Lowe pitches well but his teammates hate his girlfriend so they tank for him and Billingsly looks great. The rest suck. Will Wolf bounce back? Who knows. I am ready to start the Clayton Kershaw era NOW! (He's our uber pitching prospect in AA that can deal.) Will we see him though? Doubtful because Ned has a chubby for Tomsuck and Hendricksuck.

The hitting also seemed to quit too. I was ready to anoint Bill Mueller the Leo Mazzone of hitting coaches because we were doing so good but now it feels like we haven't scored since July. (Well actually, considering 4 shutouts or whatever in a week, we really haven't scored much!)

Where the hell did Russell Martin go? Just as I was about to start his MVP campaign, the guy went AWOL. Is banging Alyssa Milano that tiring? If so, give her back to Penny. Now Nomar goes on the DL for pulling a tongue while arguing with an ump. We sign Hillencancer and trade for another Giant (Sweeney), uck! I'm hating this team!

Dump the old guys, bring up the kids so if we're going to suck, at least we suck and see how they respond. Is it football season yet?
