Still Deflated

The first thing I thought about this morning when I woke up was Chan Ho Park. Chan Ho Park! It was funny seeing him in a red uniform; however, it wasn't very entertaining watching the Dodgers struggle against a pitcher whose fastball resides in the 80's, and sports an ERA over 6.00.

If that wasn't bad enough the guy over at Dodger Blues commented about Andruw Jones' success so far this year. Andruw Jones, the player that the Dodgers are paying until 2050, (ok, so 2014) is currently hitting .315 and reaching base at a .479 mark. Not only that, but his OPS (1.071) is higher than any active regular starting Dodger. The one inactive player with a higher OPS? Yup, Manny Ramirez.

Again, the season is long, and while I doubt we've seen the lowest in-game moments, it's outright deflating to watch a former Dodger steal for the cycle.

For a non-Dodger perspective, check out 'Duks Big League Stew. Forgettable indeed.
