Against All Odds, Casey Blake Saving Ladies Love Us

Casey Blake has heretofore been known, at his worst, as "Most Likely to Strike Out" (see below) or alternately, "Most Likely to Walk and Then Get Batted In by Manny Ramirez" at his near-best. But I love him (and I don't have any viable way of removing him from my lineup), so on we go together, through bad times and mediocre times and really, really bad times.


This week, though, Casey Blake is saving the Ladies Love Us batting average from sinking below .200! Look at those non-contributing Yankees! Nick Swisher COULD NOT BE WORSE! I would have been better off starting GRIFFEY.

Anyway, although he failed to save the Dodgers' winning streak, Casey Blake really killed it tonight. Look at him almost mauling the Natinal's catcher as he slides into home plate.



He looks like a Mortal Kombat character. IOWA PRIDE! Love it.

The Dodgers are my second favorite baseball team and I have to say that it was really sad to see them lose tonight. It sucks that tomorrow morning everyone will be speculating about how bad they're going to get without Manny Ramirez. But whatever, haters can hate...the Dodgers will be fine. And Casey, even if you don't get another hit this week, I promise not to make another joke about how bad you are until next Monday.
