Black Thursday (Fuck the Dodgers, Fuck the Dodgers, Fuck the Dodgers)

As if I didn’t say it enough already, FUCK THE DODGERS. General Manager Paul DisPossessed-ta and Owner Frank McBankrupt decided not to sign Adrian Beltre and let him go to the Seattle Mariners for a 5 year deal worth $65 million. This is the same guy who hit a league high 48 home runs last year. To boot he had 121 RBIs and a .331 batting average. Oh! Don’t let me forget that he came in second in NL MVP voting to Barry Bonds. Let’s not mention the fact that the Dodgers also didn’t get Tim Hudson who could have vastly improved the pitching situation. Intellectually, I shouldn’t be surprised since the Dodgers are known for making stupid moves. I remember Mike Piazza. I remember Darren Dreifort. But it still feels like a punch in the guts. To have a great 2004 season where they won the NL West and got into the playoffs for the first time in about a decade… STUPID!!!!!! Ok. That’s enough sports talk for a day (especially a sport that’s in the off-season). Edit: And it just got worse. After posting this, I felt a little better about the situation because I knew we had a couple of good hitters. Ok. Maybe one. But let’s make that in the past tense now. It looks like Shawn Green, Yhencey Brazoban and Brad Penny are going to the Arizona Diamondbacks for Javier Vasquez and two minor league prospects from the Yanks. Let me just say that if the Dodgers don’t sign at least one of the big free agent left on the market… Well fuck em.
