I’m actually a bigger Angel fan than Dodger fan, but the Dodgers can be a little more exciting because you never know when they will make it interesting by trying to choke it away.
As far as their payroll, (not including Manny) Schmidt, Jones, Furcal and Nomar have all been injured all or well over half of the season, yet make up $55 Million of the $128 Million. Not to mention the fact that Jones is a worthless bum.
Add to that Penny and Kent’s $9 million each who are both out now, you’re under $55 million. Just over San Diego’s $50.
Ironically, other than Manny it’s been Ethier, Kemp, Loney and Martin who are carrying the team’s offense, and combined they total less than $2 million.
As soon as the Dodgers go on the road they’ll lose, but hey at least they made it. Better to be the best of the worst than the worst of it I suppose.
