BRILLIANT.

WE FIGHT WARS! WE CHEAT ON OUR SPOUSES! WE LISTEN! TO THE STEVE MILLER BAND! BUT IF;! WE THROW OURSELVES INTO SOMETHING AS GLORIOUS AS BASEBALL ALL IS FORGIVEN!

Perfect.

Re: OT: Hillenbrand is a Dodger

Only perfect if he starts on the major league club. I don't care how much he messes up the Las Vegas 51s.

Re: OT: Hillenbrand is a Dodger

I don't know which makes me happier, that Hillenbrand joined the Dodgers or that the Dodgers got Hillenbrand.

They can have each other.

Bold Prediction: Klesko will finish the 2007 season with at least 20 HRs. (OPS+ is 129 as of 7/1/07)

It really is a match made in heaven, isn't it!

Re: OT: Hillenbrand is a Dodger

He's been a Dodger all along!

It all makes sense now!

it sucks we had to give up a closer for a guy who got cut by a minor league squad the following year

When Brad Hennessey wins the Cy Young in '09, you'll eat those words.

Brad Hennessey might win a small brass pony at the simulated horse race booth at the state fair.

That's his ceiling, though.

That would be truly a honor to win one of those. I've been trying for years.

You gotta sneak in when only two or three (preferably, goofy-looking) players are seated.

(That's how I got mine.)

Re: OT: Hillenbrand is a Dodger

Wow, the Dodgers really are desperate for offense.

Re: OT: Hillenbrand is a Dodger

I'm surprised Ned hasn't signed Vinny Castilla yet.

Barry Bombs gear | comics | Ray Durham is... yeah.

"Operation Ned" ...

...continues to get great results.

Next year's Dodger team will include Pedro Feliz, Ryan Klesko and Armando Benitez.

Congrats, Barry. You're the best there ever was in this game.

Re: "Operation Ned" ...

Only if they give the Giants Sweeney, Hindenbrand, and Tomkat in return. Sabes and Flanders can trade players back and forth to generate fan interest and the appearance of actual team improvement.

Re: OT: Hillenbrand is a Dodger

Hillenbrand officially a Dodger:

Dodgers purchased the contract of infielder Shea Hillenbrand from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Come on Grady, start him.  He is a boost to any lineup.

Garciaparra got the boot for arguing

and Hillenbrand went in as his replacement tonight vs Astros

Re: OT: Hillenbrand is a Dodger

In his first plate appearance as a Dodger, Hillenbrand grounds into a double play with runners to end a Dodger rally. Good times.

Just like old times, eh?
