Bottomline is our pitching fell apart. I don't know if it's the young age of most of our team but the Phillies are going to give the Yankee's a run for their money. Dodgers have what they need to make it to the WS but lost focus at the end of regular season. Oh well maybe next year. :x

^^^what he said...^^^

a successful season fell a little short, maybe need to pick up some starting pitching for next year.
how old is broxton?
if he is under 25, he could still grow into the closer's role.
i think they have a bright future.
at least the lakers are starting...
Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.

Broxton is 25 and I agree with your post.....He will still get better although I think it would be a great idea for him to lose 25 or 75 pounds....6'6" and 295 pounds (Yeah Right).......

The only reason we lost this series is our pitching.....Hitting was OK overall and we made only 2 errors on defense in 8 games....Not bad!!

Torre made a POOR decision bringing Kuroda on to the roster and leaving off Weaver and Jon Garland......Those 2 guys are hard working EXPERIENCED veterans who have been through the wars......OH, AND THEY WEREN'T COMING OFF OF AN INJURY....This experience will be good and humbling for Billingsley who could also lose a few hundred pounds.....Randy Wolf is a slightly above average pitcher who got HOT but in reality is a good #4 or #5 for someone.....Kershaw will be an ace in a year or two.....And Billingsley will too!!!!!

Oh, and how about replacing Blake at 3rd with Belliard instead of Hudson who was a stud all year.....His speed could've helped......

Oh, and....NEVERMIND....I'LL QUIT NOW BECAUSE I'M RAMBLING AND IT JUST HURTS SO BAD!! :( :( :(

hudson slumped badly towards the end of the year, and i wouldnt be surprised if his wrist isnt 100% healthy...
i like blake, he is a professional player and a good clubhouse presence....

All true and I like Blake too but he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat the last 4 weeks either.....All hindsight either way of course....

I am hoping that they keep Padilla because I think he can be a strong #3 or #4.......
Kershaw
Billingsley
Wolf
Padilla
And Jason Schmidt....hahahaha....Don't we name him every year???? Look for Jason McDonald to compete here with ??????

Tomorrow's post will be "Where are my beloved Angels" because after that butt whipping they received on their home field the other night they won't be able to recover. So much for the Freeway series which I was hoping to be playing the Yankee's instead of the Angels. But both of the teams will be at home watching the WS.

Hudson won't be back after his one year deal and Blake is a tremendous role player imo. I love the young home grown Dodgers. I grew up with the Dodgers in the 60's, before free agency and watched as the team developed their players.
