JP, but damn I wish we went after Kemp instead of DeJesus.

I'm sure the A's front office would've liked that, too bad Kemp was never available.

I thought they were willing to deal him because he had a down year? Maybe I'm trippin, my bad.

Anyone else catch him saying how much he liked the 1940s big band era music being played instead of the "current" music?

Those Braves throwbacks looked beautiful too. That sleeve logo...

The Dodgers' opponents for the next 5 (?) Throwback Thursday games are gonna be in throwbacks too.

I liked them but not the pants too baggy. The braves sleeve logo was

Apparently the Braves broadcasters were complaining about the length of the sleeves, thinking it might have been a disadvantage for Jurrjens on the mound

I know how much you guys loved Russell.

I was gonna call him that anyway if he started off as poorly as he finished with the Dodgers. His production at the plate has been a real surprise.

And as a bonus: Yankees broadcaster John Sterling's HR call for Martin.  I was shfilshfishfishf

when I first heard it while driving:

I was actually a fan of Russ, and still thought he was our best option.

I appreciate what Barajas did in his short time here last fall, but Barajas is a career backup at best.

I'm surprised that he has been producing the way he has, different league, hitters parks, etc.

McCourt told Fox representatives that Time Warner was ready and willing to assist him with his financial problems, according to two people with knowledge of the situation but not authorized to speak publicly. Time Warner also was ready to offer a full sponsorship package that included naming rights for Dodger Stadium.

I was heated when people first brought up naming rights bs and all that.  But then I thought about.  It will always be Dodger Stadium.  No matter what it might say on the sign in front, it's still Dodger stadium.  I've been going to Dodgers games for 30+ years.  It's Dodger Stadium.
As rabid as the Dodgers fan base is, no true fan would call it anything else...

Depending on how much money it would be worth, and how that money will be spent (think Pujols or Fielder, not swimming pools), I wouldn't be opposed to them selling rights for the Ravine as a whole. Can't change the Stadium name, IMO.

edit: to be fair, it does say that TWC was ready to offer, not that Frank was going to solicit. If he wanted to sell naming rights, he would've done it already (or tried, only to be tarred and feathered in his 1st row seat during the 2nd inning of a game)

This is how I feel, but this is McCourt which made my blood boil as soon as I read this.
As JBug said, it'll always be Dodger Stadium, the damn facility has been around for 49 years without any corporate name attached to it.

hey P MAC n 562 nice reads
i dont like the fact that fox is doin some seemingly underhanded things by giving mccourt that loan i feel it will bite the dodgers in the ### in the long run, but it may also strengthen MLBs argument if mccourt takes it to the box. i feel bad for the dodgers i mean my team is looking real bad right now (excluding the last couple of wins) n the owners dont even care but i believe in karma so theyll get theirs some day hopefully soon
o n it will ALWAYS be dodger stadium
