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.
A note about Matt Kemp and the Home Run Derby: opposing the idea of Kemp participating tonight is the easiest position to take. If everything goes fine, you can just say you have the best interests of the team in mind. If he gets hurt, then it's all I TOLD YOU SO. Kemp should definitely be playing tonight. If he's going to get hurt basically taking BP tonight, then he's going to get hurt playing full speed Friday. Let's just enjoy his reentry into the 2012 season.

Peter Gammons:
"Giants did not want Posey catching Dickey."
Because he's a Pussey.
That's also why he has a curfew in SF...
Hey Now!
Gammons can go lick a cows bunghole.
"RT @Buster_ESPN: Cano will get booed here tonight, for not picking Butler. A plane dragged a banner over park during BP saying Cano got it wrong. #HRDerby"
A bit of an overreaction, considering everyone forgets who won a year later.
Did the banner have the hashtag?
Carlos Beltran to lead off.
With three outs, Beltran gets one.
Beltran finishes with seven dingers.
Joey Bats follows with 11 homers.
CarGo needs Karina to show up.
Dodgers probably won't host again until they get in line and add fountains, mini-malls, and McDonald's PlayPlaces to the outfield.
CarGo gets four homers.
Why is the AL wearing blue?
Trumbo crushing it
Trumbo gets seven. Halfway through the first round.
Bautista: 11
Beltran: 7
Trumbo: 7
Gonzalez: 4
Halfway?
McCutchen gets four, tied with CarGo for the bottom.
Fielder needs a haircut.
Fielder finishes with five. CarGo and McCutchen are eliminated.
Here comes Kemp!
three outs, 0 dongs
come on flippo, give him a meatball!!!
Matty hurt himself yet?
This looks familiar.
8 outs, no dongs
Much ado about nothing.
Flippo, I blame you
THIS JUST IN: Dodgers announce Matt Kemp to 60-day DL
Oakland, I blame you.
Nothing riles up the hometown fans like excluding their guy from a meaningless exhibition.
Matt Kemp: not the worst derby participant today.
I'M KIDDING OF COURSE
