These are the games the Dodgers must win, if we plan to contend. Especially important, considering the difficult games later this weekend... The winning streak begins with game #1, today.

Something to keep in mind if we're feeling a bit overconfident:
• "Healthy" Dodgers players are hitting a combined .176 (13-for-74) in their collective careers against Richard. That total doesn't include the injured Kemp, who is a career .348 hitter against the left-hander.

Today, we need to remember to pack our "bats"... (Note to James Loney: they are the cylindrical wooden objects that some of your teammates find quite useful... try it sometime)!

Let us not forget that while our Dodgers are off to a great start, the Lakers en route, and the Angels...who cares about them, your Los Angeles Kings just eliminated the #1 Vancouver Canucks in a dominating fashion to make it to the next round. If you aren't familiar with hockey, join in! You'll love the sport. Mind you, I don't know much either, but I love it with a tenacity just like I am passionate about our boys in blue.

Let's hope the Kings make it far this year, there's definitely something brewin' with these guys!

Go Kings Go!

For those not aware of that particular time-waster, some of the original S&Mers, most notably Foxxy, Azul and Oscar, would try to be the first to post on each new page and, if successful, would post "BAM!" It then became a combination of individual accolades ('zul became the undisputed King of BAMs) and a grudge match between the ladies (the "Cooties") and the guys (or "Icky Boyz") The grudge was generally felt by the Cooties as the Ickys pretty much cleaned their clocks in BAMs over time.

Anyway, no multiple postings to get to the bottom. Rude photos to declare your BAM supremacy are not only allowed, they are damned near de rigueur.

If it turns out nobody is interested in any of this silliness anymore (after all, our best and most prolific bammers have blown us off) or it turns out the new digs don't allow bamming to work, kindly disregard all of the above.]]> Dodgers v.

I thought it'd be a good idea to have a single thread to speculate of all of the many people who will come out of the woodworks YOU want to have as owner of our beloved Dodgers. I'm going to list a few names, I have no idea who they are, their backgrounds, or anything about them, but here goes.

According to Molly Knight's twitter the suitors are the following

- Dennis Gilbert

- Burt Sugarman

- Garvey/Hershiser

- Mark Cuban

Am I forgetting anyone? Anyway, discuss!

Post Here! http://dodgersoul.com/discussion/1755/want-to-play-fantasy-baseballs-post-here Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:16:44 -0800 Vinsandlosses 1755@/discussions

Rather than scrambling to get a fantasy game going the day before the opener, I think we should get some of this out of the way in the next few weeks. First things first. I am happy to start the league unless someone objects or would really like to run it themselves. The league, without question, will be a custom league this year and I would like to crowdsource some information/preferences before we get started.

If you think you want to play, please comment on the following.

- Number of Teams (Let's make sure everyone who wants to join the league gets to participate).

- League Host. I'd like to stick with ESPN as we did with football, but if more people want Yahoo or CBS we could use them instead.

- Draft Date. Everyone should be able to draft live. Planning this out well in advance, we should be able to make this a fun experience.

- Keeper or Single Year. We could have a keeper league if everyone is on board with the idea, which means that each owner gets to keep a handful of his or her players from year to year.

- Types of statistics. Most leagues use traditional stats (HR, RBI, SB, AVG, Wins, Saves, Ks) but we could use Advanced stats (SLG, OBP, etc..) or some combo of the two. For what it is worth, I prefer a mix.

So, please comment below. I had a ton of fun playing Fantasy Football in the BBWC this year and think baseball could top that. In your responses please tell me what you do like, what you don't like, and suggest the best options for you (ESPN/Yahoo, Saturday draft, Sunday draft, etc..)

Thanks

The thread is pretty self-explanatory: a thread devoted to music. It's a bit off topic, yes, but given that, like the Dodgers, the music industry is another business that is dying, losing money every day, and going to crap by the minute, there are some relative parallels. We seem to have quite a bit of music-heads here, myself included, being my profession and obsession. So go at it; talk about the stuff you've listened to, look forward to, bands, artists, the industry, anything you want within the scope of music.

Go!

It's that time of year, folks, where the mojo is revived. I started this tradition several years back, but last year, we finally decided to start tallying it. I never officially gave the results of that, so I'd like to do that, now. There were 11 participants, and I'd like to congratulate the winner. He's a fantastic guy, a great poster who brings incredible insight, and is truly mesmerizing. Personally, he's my favorite poster. With a .611 winning percentage, I'd like to congratulate THE Mr. Mojo Rising...

Edit 2:

Because Yahoo! is being a pain in the ass with their draft times and scoring, Vinsandlosses has graciously started an ESPN league that won't give us these issues. Here is the information:

Go here:

http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/tools/join?leagueId=1046151

Register for an ESPN account, if you don't have one.

The draft is for tomorrow at 7 P.M., PST. So get in now.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

I look forward to kicking your butt, this year.
