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.
From @dylanohernandez:
The #Dodgers have reached an agreement on a deal with Marcus Thames. Contract could be finalized tomorrow.
Also:
The #Dodgers are also close to signing Gabe Kapler to a minor-league contract.
So much for Tony Gwynn Jr. starting in CF?
Oh, and apparently it's pronounced "Timms."

Mista Kot-tair!
Watching Kings game now. glad they've ditched those clownish unis.
As an Anglophile, I appreciate the "Thames" pun, BTW.
Was it Thames' emahtt I saw?
are the Dodgers trying to sign all the available pitchers and outfielders,while short in cash?
Once in an effort to make a "Welcome Back, Kotter" joke, I mistakenly referred to him as Gabe Kapler. Just goes to show how much I love baseball.
@karina
Perhaps they're thinking that if they can't afford quality, quantity will do the trick.
I dig the old school King's uniforms. The O.G. Los Angeles colors.Lakers,Rams,Kings.Unlike this bullshit Raider crapola turds.
I agree with Spank.
Gabe Kapler sounds like he should be on the show MadMen.
Signing Thames and another aging outfielder is a little in Seine.
Pun time again already? You know how this Congo on and on, EK
OK EK, quit your Rhining. You'd complain if they didn't sign anybody either.
Sax baited me into this pun war by using one in the title with an easily extendable theme.
But I Tigris...ok maybe you're right I'd complain either way. I'll withhold judgment for now.
^I meant Orel. Sorry Orel.
I'm not sure if these two guys are the Styx that can improve our offense.
(I can reuse that when we get to band puns.)
Try an Oder one Josh. Recycled puns Arno good to me.
Mr C - why discourage Josh from re-using the pun? Euphrates gonna use it so much we'll get sick of it?
@Spank re Raider looking Kings unis-
That's why I like them!
All kidding aside, I'm having a hard time Vistula-izing how this LF situation is going to work.
I just hope the pitching coaches can figure out how to make Bellisario Grande this season, and get back to his 2009 form.
@EK
No, but with all these smart people posting Indus thread, we should be able to come up with original material.
Yukon keep this up all day, surely.
@DB
I apologize for any Missouri this pun Spree may cause. I don't want to make Yalu-se your mind.
Enough with these horrible puns. If you guy wanna continue, I can't stop you.
But you're on your Rhone.
Ned is clearly smoking Ganges if he thinks this team can contend.
OT:
Just read that "True Blue LA Welcomes Chad Moriyama To The Team". Amazon, isn't it?
I see there's no stopping the bad pun train. Nile try my best to ignore it (though apparently it's not easy).
@EK
Just when you think you're out, they Loire you back in.
It's times like this that I find it comforting to remember that Jesus still hates the Yangtzes
The cool people are really going to be Mekong fun of us if we keep up this geeky pun behavior.
I'll make sure to have a particularly Volga reply on hand if they do.
At least Ned didn't sign any former players from his São Francisco days.
Danube guys for using up all the good puns before I got here.
@DB
Amstel worried. Giants retreads and reclamation projects definitely Irrawaddy likes.
I among many just feel that we've signed the Huang players this offseason.
@Sax
There are still good (relatively speaking) puns out there. You just have to dig a little Dnieper.
Purus for having to suffer through another mediocre season. Meanwhile, FOX senses a kill and circles McCourt like a Parana.
Zaire anyone who thinks we'll place above third in the NL West?
@DB - Well, just because we're handcuffed from major spending doesn't mean the season is lost. After all, there's more than one way to Skeena cat.
FYI, this is the one I'm using.
We can't claim we didn't see this coming with all the deferred money Coletti gave out. We're still paying the Zambezi signed years ago.
@EK
I just don't think it's possible to work Brahmaputra into anything without really stretching it. Not that that's stopped any of us before.
@DB: Don't try to challenge me in this pun war or Brahmaputra in your place.
^totally not a stretch. Honestly, I'm not sure how I do it, I'm just good I guess.
^Ok, that's good. I accept that.
@EK
But Amu Darya to make one out of Murray- Darling.
Tyne to move on to the NPUT.
FWIW, I am in a non-US city reading these and LMAO. Well done, guys.
They were the highlight of my day, Sax.
I mean, seriously, they were.
I always know when it's been a good thread if I crack up in public and freak everybody near me out.
"Jesus still hates the Yangtzes"
Still cracking up over that one.
