How cute. The fact is that Torre has run bullpens into the ground. Ask Tom Gordon, Scott Proctor, Tanyon, Sturtze, Steve Karsay, Jeff Nelson, Graeme Lloyd, Mike Stanton, Broxton, or Hong-Chih Kuo. Ask Brian Cashman-I’ll take his opinion over yours all day long.

That 47-odd pitch relief appearance/meltdown against the Yankees sealed the deal.

Brox-ton has been useless the last two years. His fastball has no movement. Matt Stairs messed him up mentally.

As usual the Dodger “braintrust” is a day late and a dollar short. Fat Brox is the epitome of a scrub.

Bet that’ll get the interest back up.

Ehh… just be sure he doesn’t mix it up and get an Elbow in his “Colon”.

Mattingly: “Yeah?”

Broxton: “Not happening is it?”

Mattingly: “DingDingDingDing!”

He always seemed like a pretty classy guy and I would hate to see him become like Colletti or McCourt.

Stem cell therapy, the new TJ. And just like Tommy, Bartolo will have his name attached to a medical intervention and his name will resound through the ages…

Best thing Broxton can do is let word get out he’s having the “Colon” treatment on his elbow. Bet that’ll get the interest back up.

Thinking about that statement I just made there, I wonder if we don’t see a lot of that next season?
