I can see the headline now

Turns out Steve Finley wants to show us all that osteoporosis is no match for a ballplayers determination to stay on the field. At first this just made me sad because this guy was a pretty good player who should be able to walk away from the game gracefully after a long and satisfying career. Then I realized that this is just the kind of guy Ned Coletti would sign to improve the Dodgers outfield and I immediately shit my pants. I can just see Luigi making a deal that gives away Kemp and Loney to get some dinosaur like Miguel Tejada, moving Pierre to left, and signing Finley (a good "character guy" no doubt) to play center. I can only pray that I am wrong.

As for Mr. Finley, go home and bang the wife, play with your kids, and enjoy your retirement taking comfort in the fact that you will always be a Dodgers legend.

Dodger Blues still has a ticker that counts up from the Gibson homer as "the last meaningful Dodger moment"

I think hitting a walk-off grand slam against the SF Gigantes to win the division qualifies as a "meaningful Dodger moment." But that's just me...crazy, wild, mixed up Mr. Falcon.

AGREED! I would also include the four home run game in the midst of a successful playoff run as a "meaningful Dodger moment." Maybe people forgot about that though since 90% of the folks sitting around us left by the 8th inning. FAGS!

I would also include the signing of Jose Lima. That guy was rad.

You know how I know you're gay?

You like a faggy baseball team that has never won a world series...and you post under "anonymous"...and you owned a samsung phone.

That is the homo trifecta.

And oh yeah, Showtime 2 is the best channel on TV.
