Anything with Frank McLoan in it should be burned from all archives or have him edited out. I don't care how cool the moment was.
You go Mouse! I'd agree that Al Oliver is a better option but for crying out loud he only played 35 games in one partial season so it doesn't seem right to use him either. If Wilson is going to get the nod for thread closing he better have a few more good outings... and bean at least one vaGiant before the thread close.
Another magic number for the Dodgers is 13, the same amount of games AZ was behind as was the Giants were when the Bums gave it up. When they started a September losing streak. Oh, way back when in the day that was...it could never happen again. Ancient history stuff. Right Vin?
13.5, I hope you are only allowed to use plastic cutlery. Occasionally they are gonna lose games, even consecutive games, hard to fathom, I know.
How long have you been a Dodger fan? Your sarcasm is only surpassed by your complete lack of knowlege of Dodger history and cold hard facts. Sure, it's far fetched and a million years ago, even before my time. And I guess we are so good, it's impossible. We've been real good before, too. No way Ralph Branca told me.

That will never happen to this club, as they have been cruising all season with no real losing streak while in first place since April...
and yet, the same thing actually has happened before unlikely, sure... but there is precedent, as bz alluded and that "no real losing streak" you refer to could very well go to 4, with none other than the 2nd place d-bags waiting to play us 7 of the next 11 games pessimistic, perhaps... but to ignore our very own history is foolish not saying it will happen -- it probably (and hopefully) won't just saying that stranger things have happened
