www.dodgerblues.com Created by and for burned Dodger fans,
dodgerblues.com celebrates the futility, disappointment and humor
of the Los Angeles Dodgers. A sampling of the celebration: “¢bull;
The Fred McWhiff strikeout meter “¢bull; Greatest Dodger Fights
& Brawls “¢bull; A contest to guess when the Dodgers will be
mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. “¢bull; “Where
are they now” updates on former Dodgers, like: Billy Ashley
Played with Dodgers: 1992-1997 Career Highlight: 1 triple in 1996
And today: Big Billy earns money walk ing fluffy little dogs and
working part- time at a Jack-In-The-Box in New Jersey. Billy also
enjoys watching game shows, sometimes picking up the TV when he
gets angry. “¢bull; Poll questions, like: Who was/is the crappiest
Chad? Fonville, Kreuter, Curtis, or Hermansen. Who will be the next
Dodger to be injured by an inanimate object? Joe Thurston (a
drinking fountain), Brian Jordan (a toilet), Todd Hundley (a
beer can), or Alex Cora (a coconut) “¢bull; Player profiles, like:
Kazuhisa Ishii 2002 Salary: $900,000 Contract Status: Signed
through 2005 2002 Performance Breakdown: $900,000 per head surgery
2003 Prediction: Ishii will manage to put his fears aside and
rejoin the starting rotation. In late April, however, Ishii will be
hit in the face by a flying Alex Cora bat. Ishii will return in
June, only to bash heads with Rick Monday at the drinking fountain
after a postgame interview. “¢bull; A year-by-year draft recap
since 1980, with commentary. For example: Year: 1993 L.A.’s
pick: Darren Dreifort – RHP. In the 8th season of a mediocre and
injury- plagued career, Dreifort’s greatest feat thus far has been
ducking Andres Galarraga’s punch. Later picks: Torii Hunter, Scott
Rolen, Jermaine Dye, Richie Sexson “¢bull; A page dedicated to the
“crappy brother,” a list of players the Dodgers had who
had a much better brother. Example: Chris Gwynn Not only is Chris
Gwynn Tony’s crappy brother, but amazingly enough he’s the fatter
one too. Chris hung around the Dodgers for awhile, never getting
much of a chance, but never doing much when he was given the
opportunity. Meanwhile, Tony won 37 batting titles and secured his
place as one of the greatest hitters ever.
