Your Dodgers Factoid Of The Day: James Loney, Freed

Thanks to SoSG regular Paul for pointing out this tidbit: James Loney is having a great year in Tampa Bay.

James Loney's OPS of .985 (37-for-96, with 11 doubles and 1 HR) is north of every Dodger with the exception of Hanley Ramirez (OPS of 1.409). The Dodgers infielders' OPS (leaving out small sample sizes of Dee Gordon and Elian Herrera):

  • Nick Punto, .926
  • Adrian Gonzalez, .898
  • Mark Ellis, .815
  • Juan Uribe, .711
  • Jerry Hairston, .657
  • Justin Sellers, .517
  • Skip Schumacher, .486
  • Luis Cruz, .204

Holy smokes, there's a lot of power outages there.

This futility makes no sense. There is something supernatural going on at the Ravine. I'm going to do some digging. The truth is out there.

It's the curse of Vladimir Shpinkt (sp?)

Been in a meeting. Anyone get fired yet?

I highly suspect if Loney were still a Dodger, he would be up to his usual suckitude right now. He felt no urgency to prove himself or to keep his place. He likely felt under-appreciated (go figure), and no one was pushing for his spot but the hapless Juan Uribe.

Best of luck, FJL. Enjoy it while it lasts.

MR.F said...

@rbnlaw, agree 100000%.

Paul said...

We will be saying the same thing when Dre is gone.

Steve Sax said...

We have our own suckitude to manage without having Loney in the mix. I do wish him well in Tampa bay however!

Paul said...

Yeah he would suck with us. I guess he really needed to be free.

Hideo Nomo said...

CUZ IT'S TOTALLY SUSTAINABLE.

Loney Fan said...

That's it, I'm starting it... Bring Back James Loney! BBJL!

Dusty Baker said...

Cracking me up, Loney Fan!

Dusty Baker said...

Ethier will be an All Star for the Yankees after we trade him for some wholly useless prospects.

Dusty Baker said...

My guess is Houston will find some way to lose the game, perhaps on purpose, then the protest will be moot.

Dusty Baker said...

Of particular note and urgency:


Martini does not taste good with salmon.

That is all.

Dusty Baker said...

Wow! One of the best catches of the season in CF at Houston. But OC goes up 6-5 in top 8th.

Dusty Baker said...

Gnats up 3-2 in bottom 4th.

Getcher ass back in the Scoreboard Watching thread, Dusty.

Steve Sax said...

Dusty, don't be scooby-dooing here

Paul said...

Christopher Moltisanti!

Dusty Baker said...

Bartman moment costs the Gnats! Love it.

Dusty Baker said...

DAMMIT!

I was supposed to be in the other thread, clearly.

Blame it on either Rio or on Blogger's shitty, weak iPhone interface combined with my presbyopia.
