Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
We are the flower, Thou the sun!
Forgive us, if as days decline,
We nearer steal to Thee,—
Enamoured of the parting west,
The peace, the flight, the amethyst,
Night’s possibility!

Orel knows his Dickinson!
However, tonight i'm on the mood for Lovecraft or Poe, how about everybody else?
*edited due to grammatical mistakes*
Answer sent.
I'm always up for Poe.
The bells, bells, bells, bells, etc.
Just waiting for that national anthem!
" From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells"
I like this part of the poem:
How it swells!
How it dwells
On the Future ! how it tells
Of the rapture that impels
To the swinging and the ringing
Of the bells, bells, bells,
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells
To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells!
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotton lore...
Even a man who is pure in heart,
and says his prayers by night,
may become a wolf
when the wolfbane blooms
and the autumn moon is bright
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
But enough about Philly.
Oh, no, they're waving white towels as the game begins - I can't see a THING!
The breeze, the breath of God, is still
and the mist upon the hill
shadowy, shadowy, yet unbroken,
is a symbol and a token
how it hangs upon the trees,
a mystery of mysteries!
Jeter out quickly. Mainstream sports media has premature Jetergasm.
The Phiwwie Phans think they won the Series by shutting the Yankees down in order.
There once was a man from Nantucket
On related Dodgers info, Dwayne Pollok (Albuquerque), just pitched an outstanding game on the first game of a double-header for Aguilas del Zulia, defeating Caribes and Eliezer Alfonzo (Padres) and Jonathan Herrera (brief time with the Rockies this season).
I'll be watching DeWitt closely with Tigres del Licey, because he'll have lots of pressure. The team is the caribbean equivalent of the Yankees, so playing there is not a joke.
Arthur Gordon Pym, Orel?
Liked that novel a lot!
Oh, Karina. So innocent.
Thanks for the Aguilas update!
why am i innocent?
i thought you might like some sort of Dodgers news!
There once was a man from Nantucket
Karina-
Thx for that update. Please keep us posted on Joyce DeWitt.
Jayson Werth with a HR.
@Orel this is hilarious "This literary trope can be attributed to the popularity of the limerick genre and the way the name of the island of Nantucket lends itself easily to humorous rhymes and puns, particularly obscene ones. In the countless vulgar versions, the mythopoeic protagonist is typically portrayed as a well-endowed, hypersexualized persona."
It's very proper that i lose some innocence on Halloween night.
I'm tired of Jayson Werth too.
Happy Pete with a double.
Happy to be of service, Karina!
Karina, do you do Halloween in Venezuela?
Rancho Cheesesteakiendo
Rancho Rolliendo
Yes, we do. It's an imported custom, but any excuse to party is a very good excuse!
However, i've always believed on the Great Pumpkin.
There's a little bit of Linus in all of us.
"any excuse to party is a very good excuse!"
Amen!
Petttittttte sucking is also a good excuse.
Ruiz goes on White Slappy's arm
Joe Buck with the great eye — A-Rod's "double" hit the outfield camera. Is it a home run?
Gotta be a HR, much as I will hate it.
They say homer
HR! Hamels becomes Hamels.
This was supposed to be a fun Halloween. Now USC is sucking it up in Eugene, and I'm going to have to hear it from the Bruin faithful on Monday.
SWISHER IS BACK
Speaking of which, when do we see Brad Lidge?
The last thing I need right now is a scoreless inning from Lidge.
White Slappy breaks the tie! So nice to see the Phillies losing.
Damon is doing his best first half Beast Mode impersonation!
Yankees 5-B word 0
So is White Slappy sticking to Damon?
I mean, B word team 3.
I want them to be shutout.
Bye bye, Camels. Could be on the hook for 7 ER.
Bye Hamels, welcome Phillies bullpen!
@Orel "great minds think alike" or it is just we hang out a lot on game threads?
Where's the D-Line? I need to cry on his shoulder.
Definitely great minds, Karina. Don't be fooled into thinking any different.
41-20 w 10 mins left? A true and savage beatdown being administered.
This is the worst Halloween ever.
@Mr LASF why? are sports ruining your night?
SWISHER'S BACK
@Karina - No, Oregon is
what's Oregon? college basketball?
Close, college football
Today, i started listening to the Aguilas first game of a doubleheader around 5:15 pm, which i continued to do 'till now, when the after show of the second game is finished.
I plan to watch the World Series game 'till the end. Is this normal behavior?
Werth is annoying.
Mother of freakin god, what has gotten into Werth? That was a MONSTER.
Completely normal, Karina. Well within normal range.
I'm pretty sure Beast Mode costume is Johnny Damon.
Hip hip...
Jorge!
Not only normal, Karina, but preferable.
A thrilla!
From Godzilla!
Matsui solo HR
Glad to see the Dodgers aren't the only ones Carlos Ruiz tortures.
Watched the game with a Yankee fan. He was happy.
Gee. Sorry I had to drop out before the fun started. Didn't even get to use the word "tintinnabulation."
