he has been the Ace for a while but ppl still act like Beckett should be the Ace or has the ability. i just never understood the tons criticism for Dice K and not enough for Beckett.

Lester in his last year and a half... atrocious. Look up his stats. They don't really have an ace. Bucholz (sp?) fell off, too.

This Trout kid. Dear lord. The future he has. Single handedly keeping the Angels in the game when they are hitting 0-9 with RISP.

So are the Dodgers for real here or what? Vin Scully just mentioned that Ethier is in a slump and obviously they don't have Kemp, yet they're still winning. SF is right on their ass, and the Dbacks should be far more scary when/if Upton and Young get the bats going again.

They just signed Either too, "Ethier deal is 13.5m, 15.5m, 18m, 18m, 17.5m and 17.5 (2018) w 2.5m buyout if club option does not vest". Sounds a little too much for me.

Vast overpay IMHO. Either is one of the most overrated players in baseball.

Look at their lineup and I think you'll get your answer. My hatred for the Dodgers aside, they have vastly over performed and will come crashing down to earth like the meteor from FF7 anytime now. Think Pirates from last year. Their pitching is OK but when you have Bobby Abreu batting 4th, Jerry Hairston battin 5th, some guy named Elian Herrera batting 2nd you just can't keep it up.

Yeah that's kinda what I was getting at without actually saying. Dodgers starting pitching is going too well too. Bills is a meltdown waiting to happen, and I don't know if Capuano is legit or not. Kershaw is gonna Kershaw, but he's only one guy. I think Jansen is pretty good, even after giving up the game winner to Pujols (I mean it's Pujols here), but the rest of that bullpen is not pretty good.

So yeah we'll probably be seeing SF and Arizona battling it out in August and September. Now with Kemp back and if he stays back, shit can change of course. I'm not sure when he comes back though. LA does have the luxury of that good start.

Trout.What a guy.

**MrMister** · 06-12-2012, 01:26 AM

He's an asshole. Kick babies I'm sure.

**Dub¢** · 06-12-2012, 01:31 AM

pretty sure those babies were assholes. Btw, Im loving the current batting order, hopefully they stick with it.
