WELL, THAT DIDN'T WORK...

Pathetic, that is the only word that can be used to describe the Dodgers play on Thursday night. The Dodgers gave the second game of the series to the Mets with shotty fielding, dreadful hitting, and questionable managing. The game could have been easily won. The Mets did nothing spectacular, Tom Glavine went 6 modest innings to keep the Dodgers offense at bay, and the Met offense scored 3 of their runs on outs. The Dodgers team looked apathetic the entire night, no willingness to compete. I do not know what they did to prepare themselves for the game. Did Grady Little show them the Passion of the Christ, or Shindlers List? Did Ned Colletti tell the team Julio Lugo would be brought back for the 2007 season? What ever it was, the Dodgers seemed to be busy thinking about it. Not only did we lose the game, but we have lost Nomar Garciaparra services. Nomar has apparently tore his left quad, and will be limited to pinch hitting duties. At this point, I am glad he is out of the lineup, he has been in severe pain for the last month. Plus his bat has not been there recently. James Loney will take over at first for the 3rd game of the series, and hopefully more. Now the Dodgers only hope to stay alive. Greg Maddux will pitch tomorrow, and he has been rolling lately. A good outing might do wonders for the Dodger spirit. But, if the Dodgers hope to win the game, they cannot come out and play the same way they did on Thursday night. If they do, then lets start getting ready for Spring Training '07. This is the biggest game of the year, and our boys need to show up and play hard. I have a gut feeling that we will get a surprise performance from someone tomorrow night. I will be out there tomorrow, and Sunday. That is if our boys win tomorrow. LETS GO BLUE!
