Sporting Fools
http://sportingfool.blogspot.com/2005_01_16_archive.html
The frequent and occasional humorous musings behind two of the World's greatest underappreciated sports minds. Saturday, January 22, 2005. With the offseason personnel decisions made by the general manager. Of your favorite baseball team. And feel compelled to write about them on your blog. A- Thoroughly examine all. Posted by Bee-ranom 1:48 PM. A Tip of the Cap. Finally the NHL and the NHLPA made a decision. No agreement, no season, no talks, no compromise, nothing. No one I know. As there are many more...

DL's Thoughts and Ramblings, Listed as Day-to-Day. Friday, December 17, 2004. The dismantling of the 2004 NL West division winning Dodgers continues. Normally, a team has to get old and make a few trips to the postseason before a rebuilding phase starts. Paul DePodesta has apparently decided that one playoff win was as good as this team was going to get. I've already commiserated over the fact that the Dodgers got outbid by the Mariners (God, I never thought I'd put. On the surface, this trade indeed loo...

DL's Thoughts and Ramblings, Listed as Day-to-Day. Wednesday, October 20, 2004. Finally, It's Over. The best line of the night, courtesy of Jim Caple. In hindsight, perhaps it was a mistake for the Yankees to raise a "Mission Accomplished" banner above their dugout after Game 3. New York is on mass suicide alert. Boston has just drowned in spilled beer. Details to come. Posted by DL @ 10:16 PM. If Only They Could Both Lose. Of all teams, would be a stain they could never erase. Or anything if they lost t...

On The DL: The Exorcists
http://dlonthedl.blogspot.com/2004/10/exorcists.html
DL's Thoughts and Ramblings, Listed as Day-to-Day. Sunday, October 03, 2004. No one who's reading this needs to be told how amazing yesterday's win was. You saw it. You know it. I will say, all hyperbole aside, that it was the greatest moment in Dodger history since Kirk Gibson's homerun. The pain of 1991 and 1992, the unfulfilled promise of the Piazza years, the Trade, the dark years of the Davey Johnson/Kevin Malone era, were all swept aside in one magnificent half-hour. Anyway, now it's on to St. ...

DL's Thoughts and Ramblings, Listed as Day-to-Day. Friday, November 19, 2004. Whew, time to take a respite from the offseason hiatus (? One of the stories that I've been following from my cross-country perspective is the efforts by Arte Moreno to rename his team the "Los Angeles Angels." It involves issues of civic pride and regional recognition, and this piece. From today's LA Times, captures the essence of the controversy better than any other so far. Your #1 Source for Angels Coverage! No matter how m...

On The DL: Glad to See I Wasn't the Only One

DL's Thoughts and Ramblings, Listed as Day-to-Day. Monday, September 27, 2004. Glad to See I Wasn't the Only One. Eric Neel, who is quickly becoming my favorite online columnist, has a diary up of the 3-game series. In San Francisco. Neel is a diehard Dodger fan, and the piece is terrific. The two teams have finished 1-2 seven times. They've played dead even head-to-head in the last seven years. Like I said, terrific. Posted by DL @ 7:40 AM. View my complete profile. Drop Me a Line. Arrive in the Third.

DL's Thoughts and Ramblings, Listed as Day-to-Day. Saturday, July 31, 2004. The reports are still filtering in, but the wholesale remodeling of the 2004 Dodgers continues. Steve Finley, Brent Mayne and a couple of minor leaguers are in, Dave Roberts, Tom Martin, and minor leaguers Koyie Hill, Reggie Abercrombie, and Bill Murphy are out. This recap. At the Dodger homepage has all the gory details. And Arrive in the Third, Leave After Seven. Are at the head of the pack. Posted by DL @ 3:19 PM. So, either o...

DL's Thoughts and Ramblings, Listed as Day-to-Day. Thursday, September 30, 2004. The Spirit of '96. I'm going to get off a post on how the final weekend of 2004 is eerily shaping up to be very similar to the final weekend of 1996, although I see that Dodger Thoughts already beat me to it. Both years the Dodgers had the lead going into the final four games of the season, and were playing the final series at home against the very team challenging them for the division title. 9/26/96: Giants 6, Dodgers 1.

On The DL: Requiem for a Heavyweight
http://dlonthedl.blogspot.com/2004/10/requiem-for-heavyweight.html
DL's Thoughts and Ramblings, Listed as Day-to-Day. Monday, October 11, 2004. Requiem for a Heavyweight. A crushing workload the past week has kept me from updating the site recently, but rest assured, I was still finding time to follow the final lunging, desperate convulsions of the Dodgers' 2004 season. Strange, indeed, for a Los Angeles professional sports team with a history of championships to behave this way. Stranger still that it makes sense. The starting pitching, and The Trade. The Trade bit the...
