Billingsley is a straight up stud.

Orlando Hudson pretty nice pickup

I agree on Billingsley and Hudson has been a nice surprise so far.


I might have brought them bad luck. They win 8 in a row, I start a thread then they lose to the Astros.

I was actually in San Fran Monday. Got to attend the game with buddy. Met Brad Ausmus, Doug Mientkiewicz and several of the Giants players. It was one of the best nights in sports I have ever had. Also got Wille McCovey, Willie Mays and Barry Bonds autos. I'm not much of an autograph seeker but when my son grows up, hopefully he will appreciate it.

I am surprised at the recent play of the Dodgers. I was expecting a .500 to sub .500 record without Manny and they're playing pretty good right now. They are now 13-7 without Manny as Juan Pierre is batting slightly under .400 right now.

The game on MLB channel last night with the Cubs was very entertaining. I thought Troncoso was going to blow the save but they were able to get out with a win and Broxton got the rest.


If Pierre continues to play close to the level he is playing right now he will force Torre to play him. It might push Ethier to the bench once Manny comes back.

Manny will be back in 9 games. Dodgers are 25-16 without him at this point. Although I am a fan of the Dodgers I don't think he should be allowed to "warm up" in the minors before his suspension is over.

This Dodgers giving us fans something to be excited about! Raffy has finally started to hit as of the last week. And man on man....Kershaw is finally coming around! His confidence is building inning by inning. It really helps when he gets ahead in the count.

Finally, another Dodgers fan. I never post in here because no one else gives a damn. :hi:

Anyone think the Dodgers do anything before the trade deadline?

I read Juan Pierre might get moved now that Manny is back. I really hope they keep him. He would be a nice weapon to have for the playoffs as an extra bat or runner.

They need some help setting up Broxton in the bullpen also.

I would love to get Halladay but Frank Mccourt hasn't been the type of owner to move prospects for a big name.

I would love Halladay as well. But not for the rumored prcie of Clayton Kershaw. He is the most untradable Dodger, IMO.

Yeah, we can surely use some help to get to Big Jon in the 9th. Troncoso has been great! We miss Belisario since his injury. Kuo may be back this week, but can we expect much from him the rest of the year?

Am I am truely excited to see Jason Schmidt pitch tonight. He has ripped the Dodgers off $47 million and he is a former Giant. But if he could somehow be productive for the remainder of the year, the 5th spot in the rotation would be set.

I watched the highlights on Sportscenter this morning. Schmidt didn't look too impressive but he did get the win. I didn't expect him to look too good after missing nearly two years.

I wouldn't trade Kershaw either. Kershaw and Billingsley could be for the Dodgers what Glavine and Smoltz were for the Braves.

There is a rumor (I hope it is nothing more) that L.A. is in talks with Cleveland to send them James Loney, either Kershaw or Billingsley and another prospect for Cliff Lee and Victor Martinez.

I will be so pissed if they trade either Kershaw or billingsley. :banghead2:

Much agreed with you. I don't think Ned would have the guts to do it. He has done such a nice job holding on the the kids(Bills, Kemp, Loney, Ethier, Martin and Kershaw), so I don't see why he would start dealing them away now. Espcecailly when I truthfully don't see much of an upgrade. Lee had a phenominal season last year...and he has a nice ERA this year. But I'll take Bills or Kershaw over him, especially when considereing age, etc.

And Victor Martniez has already hit his ceiling, IMO. I don't believe that is the case with Loney. Loney can hit.

Fun little four gamer coming up between the Dodgers and Cardinals. The St. Louis rotation is set up perfectly for this series as Wellemeyer fortunately won't get to pitch.

2:44pm: MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports that the Dodgers acquired George Sherrill for Josh Bell and righty Steve Johnson.

I like this move. They need the help in the bullpen. Sherrill is a local guy too, he went to Austin Peay and he is from Memphis.

They're still in the hunt for Halladay. I prefer they do it without trading one of the young starting pitchers. If they do let one of them go I hope they keep Kershaw.

I don't believe the Jays when they say they might not trade Halladay, they are trying to increase his value but they lose more by keeping him. It is too much of a seller's market this year for them to keep him.

This team is slumping right now. Hope they get it together before the playoffs if the Rockies and/or Giants don't catch them first.

Kuroda took a shot in the head last night too.
