It's considered the unbreakable record and it's been held by Joe DiMaggio for going on 67 years; in 1941 he hit safely in 56 consecutive games. Loney is no DiMaggio, but Ty and Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14798742191424128162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3327609427990776457.post-87244490688652413802008-04-09T17:11:00.000-07:002008-04-10T11:06:06.034-07:00Offensive Woesby Art.NAMEGPABRHHRRBIBBSOBAMatt Kemp826270109.269R.

The Dodgers have scored three or fewer runs in six of their nine games, four of those games accounting for almost all of their five losses on the season.

On Wednesday he went 0 for 4 with a walk and two strikeouts leaving three men on base and the Dodgers loose by one run. It's evident to me, even this early in the season, that as Rafael Furcal goes, so do the Dodgers.Nice to see DeWitt is Ty and Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14798742191424128162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3327609427990776457.post-4528922663779012492008-03-18T18:37:00.000-07:002008-04-10T10:50:30.247-07:00Not Enough Skills to Play the BillsIf I were a young pitcher in my first real spring with the major league club I'd be pitching better then Billingsly. Everyone tells me that he's been given the four spot (perhaps three), but in a rotation full of right handed pitchers, if I were him, I'd make sure I wasn't the weakest one.

Obviously enough it’s the old guys who are hurting but the most serious injury occurred to young 3rd baseman Andy LaRoche. By all accounts he’ll be out a minimum of 8 weeks which means a May return to the big leagues or AAA. The silver lining in all this is that the Dodgers now don’t have to choose between LaRoche and Nomar as to who will be theTy and Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14798742191424128162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3327609427990776457.post-42863796640638307402008-03-06T13:00:00.000-08:002008-03-06T14:04:08.555-08:00?by free_form_artBack in 2005 I was arguing with some idiot fan in the loge section of Dodger Stadium about the trading of Paul Lo Duca. I told him Dioner Navarro was the wave of the future and that eventually Martin would be the face of the franchise. I told him to look for a chap named Loney to plant himself at first base. I told him to be patient as our talent developed in the minor leagues.Ty and Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14798742191424128162noreply@blogger.com3
