The Dodgers are going to win the NL pennant. With the
addition of Enos Cabell they now have a stick at third.
Mike Marshall had been rapping the ball until his
appendix burst and now he'll be back. Pedro Guerrero
wrists are too quick for opposing pitchers. Greg Brock
is now hitting homers. With saavy vets like Bill the
Dean Russell and Steve Yeager waiting in the wings, they
could be too tough.
Fernando Valenzuela and Orel Hershiser (sp?) are the
best 1-2 punch in the majors. You're wrong if you think
otherwise.
They're in a big series against the Cards now. They won
last night 2-1. The weekend games should be great. I
think Fernando goes Saturday and if that game isn't on
the game of the week...
With the strike imminent, they should be in first place
for the first half. Incidentally, this strike sure is
going to suck. I was going through baseball-withdrawl
for the few days the action stopped before the All-Star
game. Did anyone catch that hilarious Comedy Salute to
Baseball on Monday?
Sorry Cubbettes, Metsters and Red Birds. All you're getting
this year is the Dodger Blues.
P.S. Sorry for the rah-rah spiel but you see I've been a Pirate
fan for 20 years and it seems as though there's not much
for me to do lately except avoid the box scores.david@fisher.UUCP (David Rubin) (07/22/85)

If the author is representative, no wonder the Pirates can't draw. "Sorry, but you haven't won a WS since 1979, and haven't been in contention since 1983, so I guess it's time to defect". It isn't clear whether the author transferred or diluted loyalties, but, either way, to someone like me, who has rooted for the same team (the Mets) since I was under seven (in 1966), this seems an almost mercenary attitude.
