A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #63...the BOYS in BLUE pick up a HOT CORNER in HANLEY Ramirez....but that was 1/2 of the DODGERS Equation of getting back into the NL WEST Race...They need a #3 to go with KERSHAW and BILLINGSLEY...ASAP...DEMPS...Who you WIT?

Yes the Boys in Blue have a realistic shot at getting to the 2012 MLB Winning Time and join the Chase to the Fall Classic 2012. Just like the Yankees, Carmines, and the Fightin' Phils to name a few if the Dodgers are close they will make a move to get better.

Now they make a Huge Move and Statement when they got Fightin' Fish Hot Corner Hanley Ramirez. The Dodgers now go 3-4-5...Kemp, Ethier, and Ramirez. But now the Big Money Question remains can Hanley regain his 2006-2010 Form and join forces with Kemp and Ethier to get Chavez Ravine back to the O'Malley Ran Boys in Blue Days?

As of late it hasn't been the Hitting that has doomed the Dodgers but the Pitching and as we head to September and Winning Time Pitching and Leather supersedes Ash, Maple, and Bamboo....right?

My thinking is all along to get another Bat in which they did with Hanley but that to me is 1/2 of the Dodgers Equation to get back in the race with the Gigantes. The other 1/2 is to get another Arm in that Starting Rotation as Ace and 2011 CY Young Award Winner Clayton Kershaw and Solid #2 Billingsley have looked worn down a bit as we hit the Summer back in June. The Dodgers have been rumored to get Cubs RHP Ryan Dempster and after this Road Trip with the July 31st MLB Trade Deadline looming they need another Quality arm. NL West Leader the Gigantes go 1-2-3 with Cain, Bumgarner, and Lincecum...and that spells Gloom and Doom for the Dodgers.


The Dodgers loss Tonight against the Redbirds puts them at 53-47 and now they trail the Gigantes by 3 Full Games. And look what the Show Doctor ordered this weekend in McCovey Cove....Dodgers @ Gigantes for a 3-Game Set. Dodgers must win the Series or Sweep it if they can and if they get Swept they will officially be in the Hole chasing all that San Fran Pitching...Ouch!
