We’re sort of feeling blue…

Peng and I have been talking about the theme we’re using on the blog, but neither of us could find a theme we like. We have, however, decided with the baseball season going so well and our favorite baseball team doing so well, we decided to simply change the color on the theme we’re already using to match better, as Peng says, the color of our blood.

What do you guys think? Leave a comment with your opinion of it. If everyone prefers the green we can change back easily. Otherwise we’re going to let our blog reflect not only one of our favorite colors but also an annual mantra for this time of year.

Now THAT’S how you start a season!

The Dodgers and Giants are in the top of the 2nd inning in the first game of the 2008 MLB season, and they’re playing in Los Angeles for the first time in way too long to start the season. And the Dodgers are showing the Giants that they showed up ready to play this game.

Congrats, Tommy!

I meant to post this over the weekend, but I have to give a great big shoutout to Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda as he got his 1600th win as a manager on Saturday.

It’s official: Torre took the job

The Los Angeles Dodgers just announced that future Hall of Fame manager Joe Torre has taken the open Manager job, replacing Grady Little and bringing much rejoicing to Chavez Ravine.

Grady’s Gone

Earlier today I posted that Grady Little could see his days as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers ending very soon. The Dodgers have announced that he has decided to resign.

Is Grady Little on the way out?

Before the last out of the season (make that the last series) fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers have been asking, nay demanding that Grady Little be shown the door, even though he has another year left on his contract.  Frank McCourt, the co-owner of the Dodgers, steadfastly  voiced his support for Little. Even after the front office took two weeks off, McCourt has said Little was his man and he supports his mix of young players and veterans, despite the  very public  tension it has caused in the clubhouse.

But then Joe Torre told the Yankee “thanks, but no thanks” to a new contract and rumors have started swirling. Could Spring Training find a new skipper at the Dodgers’ helm after all?

Put a fork in the season. It’s over.

As I write this the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants are playing the last inning of the regular season, but for all intents and purposes, it’s over. The San Diego Padres and the Colorado Rockies have a one game playoff tomorrow night in Denver to find out who the National League Wild Card team will be, but for Dodger fans the season’s over. The best we can do is hope for next season, but we’re definitely not happy at how the season ended.
