We still gunna wager on whether Andruw Jones hits 31 or more home runs this year?

Sure, what do you want to bet?

Well,let's see how he shows up at spring training.Wouldn't surprise me if he shows up overweight,or has a tattoo all over his face.This guy,and Kent ,will be quite a couple.I really can't believe Kent decided to come back for another year(especially with ultimate free-spirit Andruw.)Torre will have his hands full(unless they win a lot early on.)........You gunna try that Buddha filly (that was empty last Tampa Sunday) in a turf sprint?

Scuds, new occupation? Assistant Trainer Scuds

No,I am not a morning person.Couldn't concentrate.Would probably give them double their proper steroid dose.

I'll tell you who I would claim next time out,though.There is a 3 year old filly named ONEFUNSONOFAGUN,and she has the best desire I have seen from a horse in a long time.Not the most talented,but she is all business.Every race she has been in she has been given everything she can possibly give.Even when she ran 4th,it was because Talamo didn't try to save a thing.Just let her run off,and she was empty top stretch,but was only beat for 2nd place very late.That is an amazingly tough-minded horse.They named her well.

Yeah, yeah what to you want to bet????

Loser puts up money for a pick 6 on a large carry-over day(OR A DAY KNOWN TO HAVE HUGE POOLS.)Picks are to be mainly those of the winner of the JONES' bet.The loser of the JONES' bet gets to pick 5 horses on the ticket.They can be in just 1 race,or up to 5 of the races.The reason for that is based on my opinion that people are generally better with what they like than what they don't...This means that I think people have a better chance together if they give their best plays for the day,and ignore their distaste for other people's favorite horses....People are just better at picking a positive than picking a negative.A trusted 3rd party(if you choose) can hold money until day for the bet comes.That person can be the one who makes the bet.Any winnings dispersed equally between us.Amount of ticket to be agreed on before 1st pitch of the Dodgers first game of '08.....31 home runs or more(during a regular season schedule) will result in Chuck winning.Anything less,and Scuds wins it.No post season included.No All star games included.No divisional tie-breaker games included.Minimum number of at bats to be agreed upon before Dodgers 1st game.The reason this bet is offered up is to cushion the blow of this stiff hitting 18-25 home runs as another overpaid Dodger free agent signing.

I can't stop laughing right now...

ok i think

See,she agrees with me.She shows up again (in today's 3rd ) with the big effort.She bringin' it.She gunna keep bringin' it,cuz she's a racehorse.Ain't lookin' to lay down like most of the others.No quit in her(huge will.) She is tired mid-stretch,but she ran hard on the turn.She ain't givin' in .She and the horse she had to catch are both tired,but look at the run to the wire.She is drawing away from that horse.She got a tough bobb to get heated for 1st,but she'll beat that one next time(like she beat the Tijuana girl today.)

See,he shortened BUBBLE BERRY up and got a much needed win,congrats.Hope it ain't the 1st win this year for ya.

LOL......Your awesome Scuds....

So,Chuck we gun do this? What's the minimum at bats you want? 80% of whatever his highest year (for at bats )was? No playoff games at all(not even to decide the division winner.) Loser pays for a pick 6 ticket that we each split the winnings from. Yes,it is a genius cover bet.If you lose the bet, you still have a chance to get the money back(and then some.)The amount of the p6 ticket can be your choice...$50 for each win you have in 2008(at the time that the 1st Dodger game begins.) Please include (as a win) the race where the gate got in the way...or....$10 for every pound that Andruw is overweight(again at the time the 1st Dodger game begins.).....30 hr or less n' Scud wins.......31 or above ,and Chuck wins.

Jonestime!!!

You see this 3rd dam..."JONES TIME MACHINE"......I don't think I ever saw her lose.Just wire to wire ,and get paid..Money machine.

Just like this bet will be...You'll be paying in September and we'll be playing at the Belmont Fall meet

Belmont Fall Meet? No Contessa chalk singles,please.

He usually vacations for 30 days or so during the Fall meet...

I laughed

Do you really not like the guy Scuds?
I do not follow baseball that closely anymore
but I just remember constant highlights of him
running down just about everything in CF...

He saved so many runs for the Braves...

So he has soured on baseball or what?

No,we don't need another low energy Atlanta Braves-type team.We needed a team guy.What you're talking about(defense n' pitching etc.) is great,but we gotta score,and I don't think he is the answer for that problem.I don't see giving him 17 mil/year for anything less than 31 home runs.So,if he hits that many,then I lose,and L.A. has actually got their moneysworth from one of these guys.It ain't like I am gunna be upset if he hits 31.That's not the case.I just don't expect it.Either he is gunna give us some production,or Canon is gunna buy a pick 6 ticket.I will take either situation.Just a guy who knows his team,and knows what happens when these guys come here(they don't produce.)They just don't do what is hoped they will do.Hope is mainly an immature emotion.

Actually Pg,

He's been known to be in Bobby Cox's doghouse quite a few times for his lack of hustle on the field.

Too bad.
Made for good highlights.
So maybe he enters the Dodger
Doghouse.

...have not really kept up.

3 ground balls to the shortstop,and a single.He did manage to hit into his 1st double play as a Dodger.

Cox stated many times Jones is the best centerfielder he has ever seen play the game.

He also pulled him out in the middle of an inning when he dropped a routine flyball (he was trying an always fashionable basket catch) his rookie or second yr in Atlanta, so your point is well taken.

Went to the game yesterday and it was amazing in every way. However, I found it quite odd to see Steve Finley in a Dodger uniform standing next to Duke Snider in CF during the pregame "50th ann." ceremony.

"Thanks RALFY.Last thing I wanted to do was have to try to get a hit."-AJ

Andruw Jones #25 CF
2008 STATS
_BA_ HR_ RBI
.136_ 0__ 1
:eek:

To be honest,he looks about like many other overpaid Dodger FREE AGENT SIGNINGS.Seems like Furcal even started out slowly in 2006,and Furcal has played pretty well (except for when hurt almost all of last year.) He(FURCAL) has looked great this year.For the most part,guys don't hit much when they put this uni on.Could have to do with a lot of tight games(not as much garbage time as other teams get.)Andruw has to face Haren, Peavy ,and Young in 3 of the next 5 games.

Only 158 games to go

Kemp and Pierre splitting time due to Kemp's slow start. Ouch!!

The bad thing even though Kemp is starting slow. Pierre is still batting .091 for the year.

Yea,but he ain't been close.Atleast Pierre hit some balls hard(but right to the outfielders lol..like on a fkn string..lol.) 155 games left after tonite.Unless he can get one against Haren etc. tonite,then he has to hit 31 hr in 155 games.That's like you winning 2 races in one day.It's not impossible.We went to the moon.Better chance than me getting top 20 in the song contest against more people than can fit in a typical arena.You simply didn't factor in the whole Dodger thing,k? If Andruw had signed with St. Louis or Milwaukee,then I would say he had a chance at 31HR. Traditionally,the Dodgers are a team that other pitchers seem to want to pitch well against(partly due to it being a team with decent starting pitching...=they know they have to keep the score down.) Either it's that or we just sign ****.

"WOW........................He's struck out 8 times already this year."-Vin Scully (commenting after Andruw Jones Struck out with 2 men on in the 8th inning Monday Night....... ) Trust me, Chuck,it's been ugly. I think he would try to swing at his own momma (if she got close enough.)............Meanwhile,Chris Young looked outstanding tonite.Looked like a guy who was seeing a beachball to hit.Look for him to get that average up soon.He could easily hit 2-4 home runs this week.Honestly, don't know how D backs lose this division.Injuries(I guess.)

I am trying to will the Angels home so please let me forget the Dodgers for a moment...

F'N DODGERS SHOULD OF SIGNED HUNTER...LOL.......KROD GOT A LIL GUT going now,but hopefully he can get it done for ya.That is bend don't break.So,get ready to sweat(if ya can't get insurance run.)

Torii is making me forget about the seattle closer disaster yesterday

oooo..woulda been sooo much easier with that insurance run..LOL...

I BET HE(krod) GUN MAKE YOU SWEAT,CHUCK.Just a guess...He loves the drama...LOL

I'm not watching anymore

Lol...he Does That (lead Off Walk)..don't Sweat,yet.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...Is Vlade a cow in right,or what?
