in a season that ended a month ago the dodgers, or mainly the dodgers’ fans continue to lose. i am one of those fans. as frank and jamie continue to rip our hearts out and stomp on all the tradition that made being a fan, last night marked yet another tragedy for the boys in blue…

it has been hard being a dodger fan this year. it was hard when ethier went down in the beginning of the season after going on a tear. it was hard when we realized matt kemp would give more attention to rihanna than the field. it was hard when we tried to find the bright side of any billingsley or kershaw outing. it was hard when mannywood came crashing down. it was hard when roy oswalt went to philly. it was hard when broxton blew up. it was hard when the season was over before september. it was hard when we learned money was being siphoned from the team to vacation homes. it was hard when we realized there would be no court-ordered sale of the team. it was hard when we heard that the target payroll was $80 million. it was hard when it looked like san diego was going to the playoffs and not us. it was hard when the san diego imploded and the giants got in. it was hard when lowe and hudson couldn’t finish them off. it was hard when halladay, oswalt, and hamels couldn’t cut it. it was hard when lee got lit up in game one. it was hard when the texas bullpen gave up 8 runs. it was hard when hamilton, young, and guerrero couldn’t hit. it was hard when lee took the mound in game five. it’s near impossible now that i’ve seen the giants win the world series, but have yet to see the dodgers…

i now find myself saying what UCLA football fans seem to say every season, “at least there’s basketball season.”

go lakers. go kobe. go pau. three peat.
