The club just got swept by the Padres, who hadn’t won a game since August till the Boys in Blue showed up at Petco.
The McCourts divorce case is grinding on, right? With the two cretins in a fight to the death over the franchise and the money they have bled out of it.
The Dodgers have lost more than they have won, are dead in the water …
So tell me this:
How awful is it in Chavez Ravine?
Have any of you gone, lately?
Are Dodgers fans, historically slow to anger at their own franchise, finally fed up?
What do you hear in the stands? What do you see in the parking lots? What do you talk about when the club is on TV? Or do you watch them … at all?
How is Vinny handling this? Has he suddenly started talking down the team? (And I’ve heard him do that only a handful of times in his career.)
Have any individual Dodgers escaped what presumably is all the negativity around the franchise? Is anyone not tarnished by this mess?
Please, tell me. I live on the other side of the planet. I can see the boxes, and watch the team spiral in the National League West, but I might be the only person within 10 square miles of here who has been a fan of the club.
Chime in, please. Oh, please.

I’m trying to remember a more miserable season and having trouble coming up with one. The team is dead. The crowds are dead. The McCourts should pay fans to come to the ballpark.

I think we have to give a lot of credit to the players for putting in a good effort for half of the season despite the mess of the McCourts hanging over their heads. When it became clear they were so focused on destroying each other in court, and that the team was not going to be able to spend any money for help, is there any wonder that the players sagged? They have been abandoned by ownership. It is really hard to believe they will contend again until the McCourts are out of Dodger Stadium.

Absolutely depressing. That is what this season has been. Vinny’s announcement he would come back year is the only good news we have had. If it weren’t for that, fans would be throwing themselves out of the upper deck.

Highlights that I see show acres and acres of yellow seats. A former co-worker said this is probably the worst season in the club’s history since moving to L.A., and I reminded him of the 99-loss team, but he said this was worse.
