what a joke...#10... was awesome series here in LA :notworthy ...if we only had some middle relief :banghead dino

isnt Milwood getting around 9 mil???

i always liked pavs, but he's still not a proven commodity to offer him anything over 7 or 8 mil, and even that seems high ...he was ok in 2003; very good in 2004 and had a nice post season in 2003, and is only 28...that's it. before that he had been an injury plagued bright prospect with dismal stats my question is i was wondering why the marlins didnt offer him a multi year deal last year when he was arb eligible?

can't imagine any self respecting pitcher going to O's...they're in a worse situation than the Tigers

Bring Back Choi! 590792[/snapback] that has to be a joke...Choi, sucks big time!!!! a total waste

I suspected an arm injury when his velocity lost about 4-5 mph towards the end of May. Brad had a weight issue, but I don't think it was from South Beach, just lots of fried foods. I guess you could call it sour grapes or a calculated gamble that didn't pay off considering they didn't even want to keep Penny because they were told by the D'Backs that whoever gets Penny from us gets Randy Johnson...which makes me wonder why the hell we didn't just trade for Randy Johnson :cool . 589804[/snapback] Interesting...caller also mentioned that it was Dbacks who did their homework re: possible Johnson trade, and knew of arm problem and late nights at South Beach.

Just heard a caller on an LA talk radio show mention that Penny was hated by Marlins players when he was there, and that he was always in South Beach until all hours in the morning. Another caller mentiioned that ESPN mag is saying that Marlins knew of Penny's arm problem. Anyone know about these? Bottom line is that the fans here feel that DePodesta failed to do his homework.

does anyone have a clue who the pitchers were that didn't get along with Rosey? Seems like Beckett and ?

no question...PAVANO to say he's our third starter is ridiculous

Yeah, part of it was his not signing balls...many seemed to call him very unfriendly, aloof and a jerk. since im such a huge pavs fan, i remember it well...and was very surprised so many didn't like him then.

There were some questions being raised about his health and effectiveness right b4 trade...and they may have seen something in that guy they got from Yankees (Babezan) who throws in high 90's and has been awesome... hope Mota's arm is ok; we sure miss Fox

The Cards, Angels, and countless other teams have awesome bullpens... 558432[/snapback] And they all blow games. Go to a Cardinals, Angels or Yankees game chat one day and they'll robably complain about the bullpen. No one is ever happy with their bullpen. Even when the Dodgers had Tom Martin and Guillermo Mota, some fans were telling me that it was overrated! I never heard any intelligent fan rip the Dodgers bullpen...they must be the ones who love Choi

funny...not long ago, lots on the board were saying he was a jerk

Other than Benitez, we have very little... Mota's been very shaky-not as dominating as he was in LA

Is there any chance we can still pick up someone at this late date? In addition to our spotty hitting, the pen is my biggest concern...could be our downfall Even Mota has blown 2 crucial games in set up role

getting shutout by the expos now...really bad...offense just not consistent enuf ho sad

Pavs was brilliant today... I was worried about him since his last 2 outings were so-so... if Josh and AJ stay hot with Pavs, then we have a helluva shot of making playoffs; those 3 are our holy trinity

Red Sox: Last Championship-1918 Marlins: Last Championship- 2003 Don't EVER compare use to those chokers. 548666[/snapback] exactly...having lived in Boston and sufferred with the Sox, the fans still try to deny the real truth...inept management has also been a part of their ill fortunes

Pavs is my favorite Marlin, but objectively speaking...he doesn't deserve award hasn't been that dominating recently...gives up 2 many 3 run dingers :hat

He's hasn't been gioven any chance to start out in LA. His isolated patience (OBP-AVG) has remained steay all year. You have to figure once he is given a regular role he could contribute and bump that average and slugging percentage back up. 547003[/snapback] misused??? how can u start a guy with those stats when ur in the middle of a pennant race?

his stats are pretty sad since the trade....0 homers; 5 rbi's and a .154 BA not starting lately either

Perhaps he's not doing so well in LA because he's not comfortable in the environment... 544514[/snapback] one would think he'd love it...biggest Korean pop in country is in LA; plenty of firepower support on team which is in enviable spot for playoffs he's just a so-so player

man, i've watched Choi play 4 Dodgers, and he really sucks. totally worthless and unproductive; now LA is starting Ventura at 1b

yeah, Benitez has really fooled the crap out of me...I was laughing at us getting him last year, but he has been MVP for us as far as I'm concerned. Of course tonight's win was another classic dividend from the Dodger trade...Lo Duca's clutch rbi single, and Mota's relief making it happen Meanwhile Choi has done zero for Dodgers

How can anyone give up on us???? Josh and AJ get into their form, and we have the best starting rotation in baseball to complement our cy young ace-Pavs. I see some really positive signs lately...Josh and AJ looking good, Ency winning a game with his bat...good road trip... its all up to the hitting.
