OFFICIAL 2010 LOS ANGELES DODGERS THREAD [79-82] : The losing season

[cincoseisdos]

The weekend is upon us. Baseball is back. The boys in blue get back in their blues this weekend.

It's been a long, TMZ winter. Kemper and Rihanna, the owner(s?), and the driver. We've been covered more by these outlets than for our work regarding the on field product. Let's see what we come up with this season.

Do we repeat? Do we even sniff October? Do we make it to the NLCS for the third time in as many years? Do we actually win more than one game in the series?

Will Manny, Russell, Loney and the rest of the lackluster 09 performers show up and earn their big checks in 2010?

What happens with ownership? Today, on Tiger Woods day, we have even more articles about the McC's.

Where to begin...

Regardless, lets go Dodgers.

• Jamie McCourt doubles request for monthly support (LA Times)
• In Divorce Suit, Wife Disputes Dodgers' Owner's Wealth (Wall Street Journal)
• Filings running wild (updated). (Dodger Divorce)
• Jamie McCourt court filing shines spotlight on Dodgers' three-ring circus (Dodger Thoughts)
• Court Filings Shed Light on Dodgers Financial Plans (True Blue LA)

CincoSeisDos, are you planning on going up to AT&T Park again this year?

 

[Los Angeles]

Can someone please get John Ohh in here for his early prediction?

I'm excited, I can't lie.

I don't wanna hear Russ say he's gonna come out the gates and do this and that, don't say a gaddamn word, just perform. That's it.

 

[sinser13]

speaking of AT&T park, what section is the trophy case located at?

I've been debating this since the schedules came out. The only weekend series I see would be trade deadline weekend.

I'm seriously considering it. Consider it my early birthday present I guess. I'm going back to school full time this summer hopefully so this would kinda be my last hurrah.

With the Boston trip being an absolute no go, I think another trip up to SF would be a nice consolation. This time if I get lost at Stonestown it will be intentional.

 

[Los Angeles]

when are you coming down Sin?

you stalker...

 

[ooiron manoo]

Damn, couldn't even get on the first page with all these Giant fans trying to be part of our thread.....

....and yes I did think about crashing their party when their thread started, but passed, didn't want to seem petty.

It's going to be a good year.

Ironman, how hard/easy are yankee tix gonna be to get?

It's going to be tight.  They are going to try and sell as many as these through packages as possible.

They are only going to release a small number on the first day of ticket sales (March 6).  They are discussing not releasing any Yankee series single game tickets at all, until the last moment possible.

They haven't finalized ticket prices yet, but I have bad news for LFP peeps.  They hiked those tickets to $15

.  Also they are doing tier pricing this year,

.  So expect to pay more on weekends and "premium" games.

 

[cincoseisdos]

The ONE thing we had over Anaheim was no stupid "Premium/Tier" pricing.

This +#*%!@@ blows.

Yet another woeful reason for 2010.
