And 5-0 overall against the Giants

Seeing Kershaw and Kemp on top of every batting and pitching category,

Knowing Ned Colletti is the GM...

Knowing Frank McCourt is still the owner...

Spoiler [+]
Can't believe this fools off season move was to overpay for Juan Uribe. This is another knock on Frank for keeping this dude on the payroll.
 
I was extremely upset when they signed his fat %%+ in the offseason. And supposedly the Giants called at the last minute and offered him the same deal.

at any idiot wanting to give Juan Uribe 21 mil
 
Anyone know the song that Rod Barajas uses when he came up to bat against the Giants during the series?

Does anyone else get the feeling Kemp and Kershaw might get slighted because of McCourt?
Kershaw more so than Kemp, seeing as we aren't in the playoff hunt.
 
If anything Kemp will be the one that is slighted.

The Cy Young goes to the best pitcher regardless of standings, at least that has been the trend the past ten years.  Lincecum, Greinke and Hernandez off the top of my head were on non-playoff teams.

Kemp hitting #36 today,

Kershaw and Kemp having monster seasons, damn you baseball gods *shakes fist*.

Kemp being .005 points from taking the BA lead, and 2 HR's from taking the HR leader lead.

Curious to know the last team that had the pitching "triple crown" winner and the hitting "triple crown" winner and not sniff the playoffs.

Never did wanna say it was a waste of a season, but his numbers will be irrelevant in terms of everyone else (non-Dodger fans)  if he doesn't win the MVP, and that's a shame.  Dude is having a monster year.  
I hope the baseball gods will at least lift Kempy to a 40/40 season.  

Clayton is the clear cut Cy Young in my eyes, and that's biased aside, for real.

Also, I had to really do a double take when I saw this stat.....

They've been pushed to the limit, I don't blame them for responding as bluntly as they did, it was about time they cut the diplomacy.
These Dodgers eh?

Damn, next year will be nice--nicer if they get sold to an American owner--because I'm really liking the lineup.
What if we get Fielder and move Loney to 3B?

I heard he's due a raise in the range of 6 Mil?? G T F O

If he had been consistently hitting 20+ HR's, and 85+ RBI's, I can believe it. 

Anyone have the list of all the Dodgers coming off the books for next year??   I can only think of Kuroda, Furcal and Blake?? 
 
Barajas, Miles, Carroll, Garland, Kuroda, Broxton, and Padilla is all I could come up with.
Also Pierre & Andruw come off the books.
