All Hail Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 ... Except the Yankees won. I mean the post champion yankees aka the yankees of the past 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scscsc89 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Fair enough, but the point still stands: At least the Yankess _had_ won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 i get both sides. 3/45 is a lot for most teams, for a guy on the decline with mounting injuries... but the dodgers are not most teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Hail Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Fair enough, but the point still stands: At least the Yankess _had_ won. True and I'll admit I'm going off memory, which often fails me, but didn't the Yankees start losing as soon as they increased their payroll past the 200 million threshold? I seem to remember them winning championships -- obviously with one of the higher payrolls in all of MLB -- and then signing A-rod as well as a few others and getting a pretty poor return on their investment. This went on for about 8 or so years before they finally (relatively) toned down their spending. This is honestly all from memory and I could be 100% wrong about all of it (except the Yankees performing poorly part.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 The Dodgers paid $100 million to guys that didn't even play for them last year & didn't even blink. They don't get scared of risky contracts & injuries -- they literally eat them for breakfast. Almost. They didn't want 6 years on Greinke but Iwakuma wasn't on a big contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I've officially abandoned the Dodgers as my NL team of choice and am adopting the Giants. Between ridiculous spending on questionable players (at best), and fans stabbing people, I can't take it anymore. Go Orange and Black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an even year, which means you choose a good time to adopt the orange and black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And SF just received the kiss of death in the form of my fanhood. I'm a Blazers fan (no titles since my birth in 1978) and Beaver fan (nuff said), and I became a Dodgers fan following the WS in 88....guess how many pennants they've won since.

MrBug708 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Dodgers sign Kazmir to a pretty team friendly deal. Let's see if they wrap it up with Maeda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Hail Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I don't understand why kazmir is so cheap. He can out duel any pitcher on any given night. He shouldn't log anywhere near 200 innings but he can be the difference in a playoff series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAC MAN Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm sure it was hilarious to watch Randy Johnson stand in the batting box trying to hit a pitch. As a Rockies fan, I'd have loved to see the Rockies have a DH during the pre-humiditior days. As a baseball fan, it gives me a reason to stay in the seats instead of going to the bathroom when the pitcher at bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
