Well, I haven't seen the Halos n' Dodgers play each other much.I don't like to watch that.That should answer your question.I think you will remember me saying not to count the Halos out when they were 7-11 games under 500.Fact is that unlike most people in 2 team markets,I do like both teams.See,Gander,part of the problem is that Scioscia was the best team player that the Dodgers ever have had.They simply don't get to the World Series in '88 if Scioscia doesn't bring them back with the clutch home run down the right field line at Shea Stadium.O.K.,then he goes to manage the Halos.So,to me the lines are quite blurred here,and I could never be against any team Scioscia manages.I grew up at Dodger Stadium.So,I could never shake that organization if I wanted to.That stadium is home to me.I don't think you choose who you like.Are you talkin' about the fact that I bet the Halos to win the division at 6-1? The Dodgers(at the time)were favored to win the division even though they weren't in 1st place.You are saying I ABANDONED THEM because I didn't trust them to win the division at 9/5??

The Mets will destroy the Dodgers if they are lucky enough to get in.

Well,they lost a game that they shouldn't have lost.Streak had to end sometime,but (in a 1-1 tie ballgame)the Dodgers had the bases loaded with 1 out in the bottom of the 8th.Just needed a sac fly ball from Kent.Couldn't get it done,and Ethier couldn't come up with a hit.They had some bad defense in the 9th,and the roof came in,but I don't think they lose if they get a run to take the lead in the bottom of the 8th.Didn't do the little things right tonight.Lowe pitched well until they sent him back out for the 9th,and he hung some pitches,and they brought Saito in(again not his normal closer role,but a tread water situation,and it is a different situation ..one that was caused by not getting the run in the bottom of the 8th.)So,Saito got a ground ball that Lugo probably should of made the play on.Again,I think they make these plays if they have a 1 run cushion from the bottom of the 8th.Kent should of got the sac fly ball,and Lowe should have got the win 2-1.Ugly rundown between 3rd and home that Colorado got the 3rd run on.Don't watch that play.Lowe looked devastated after the game.Story of this game is Kent was looking for a fast ball to drive for a sac fly,and he got it n' just missed it(popped it up.)Sure they had other opportunities,but that was the path of least resistance.We all get old,and Kent is showing it.He can still go yard early in a game for a 1 or 2 run homer though.I have never seen a guy get more moderately important hits with nobody on,or 2 outs nobody on etc.

By the way,Bradley is really,really struggling to contain his temper the last 2 days.Rifles bats around like you wouldn't believe.He is trying hard to contain himself,but he is just a very troubled individual.

Scuds- I seem to remember you making a comment that you were strictly into the Angels this year and not the Dodgers about 3-4 weeks back when somebody brought up the Dodgers for something or other. I could be wrong but I dont think I am.

2 years ago I couldnt get enough of your posts when the Dodgers were red hot for what seemed like all summer. Just wondering why all of a sudden you arent into them as much.

I'll go try to see what you are talking about.

Best I can tell,you're talking about the comment below.The Dodgers certainly have not played as a "TEAM" until the last couple weeks.When I said "Angels are a Team," I am referring to their all for one attitude that Scioscia instills every year.The Dodgers had that a couple years ago.Lima,and Beltre got that team pulling the rope all at once,and were not treated well by the Organization.The Halos are a "TEAM," and the Dodgers are trying to get that close(one heart beat etc.)I did trust the Halos more than the Dodgers(I put money on the Halos.)I do trust Scioscia more than Grady.When I wrote this,the Dodgers were sending Perez to the mound to start games.So,yea I was disgusted at the time.I like both teams.The Halos are much better run though.The Halos are better at getting guys to play as one.I trust the Halos more,but I want them both to win with the same desire.Like I said,I haven't seen these two teams play each other much at all.Obviously I don't enjoy seeing one beat the other.That's all I can say about it.I am guilty of liking both teams in a 2 team market.The Halos are year in/year out more like the team I grew up with though(Dodgers.)They should be(Scioscia came up in the OLD DODGER SYSTEM.)


"By the way,Gander,the team I am trying to win $3500 with are the Halos.I need Halo wins.If I could trust the Dodgers,then I would have bet them.Fact is,the Angels are a TEAM."
