			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">You know, I haven’t had the chance to comment on the whole <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/beltbr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Brandon Belt</a></strong> thing yet. Honestly I&#8217;ve been trying hard not to focus on anything negative of late. After all, the 2012 season was painful enough for Dodger fans, and we just want to put the whole thing behind us, and move forward. We have new ownership, an upgraded roster, enhanced Dodger Stadium, and the new slogan this season, is it’s a whole new Blue. </span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">So Let me have a turn with this. (Cracks knuckles)</span></p>
<div id="attachment_8285" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 401px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/75/files/2013/02/6699682.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-8285" title="Brandon Belt" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/75/files/2013/02/6699682.jpg" alt="" width="391" height="550" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">You suck Belt-H. Darr Beiser-USA TODAY Sports</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">That said, all we want to do is start with a fresh new year. Win or lose we want to forget about past mistakes. Of course our annoying rivals up north just won’t let that happen. Look I understand the whole situation. I figured we would have to put up with a good deal of trash talking after the Giants won their second World Series in three years. It was disgusting no doubt, but when the Giant fans disgraced themselves by flooding some of the Dodger sites with smack talking, and insults, I thought it was par for the coarse. Some of them even traveled over here to leave us more of their nasty little comments. But now the players are even joining in on the boasting. It’s getting a little out of hand now. Yes the Giants won the championship, but they still remain last in class in my book. Keep in mind this is still a team that employed <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/theriry01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Ryan Theriot</a></strong> for an entire season.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">And that’s the thing. They’re like the 1993 Phillies, or the gashouse gang of the 1930’s. They all look like hobos, disheveled street bums, or look like weirdos, and none of them have any class whatsoever. So when Stacie recounted first baseman/outfielder Brandon Belt’s stupid comment at the Giant fan fest last week in her <a title="Brandon  Belt disses Dodgers" href="http://lasordaslair.com/2013/02/10/brandon-belt-disses-the-dodgers/" target="_blank">last article</a>, I wasn&#8217;t surprised. I was surprised at who made the comment though. I would expect that kind of thing from someone like Pagan, or <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/linceti01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Tim Lincecum</a></strong>. But I mean seriously Brandon, what the hell man? </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">When asked in front of a bunch of screaming Giant fans, (barf) about the Dodger’s free agent spending this winter, Brandon showed the tact that only <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/paganan01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Angel Pagan</a></strong> can teach you, by saying that “you can’t buy chemistry”. Of course all the Giant fans were hooting and hollering. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: medium;">Ah ha ha ha I see what you did there Brandon. Yes, very clever. Belt, you sir are a first class doofus. This comes from a guy who looks like <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/pencehu01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Hunter Pence</a></strong>’s younger uglier brother.  I mean the guy looks like a walking knee cap with elbows. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">How about you just concentrate on hitting Brandon, and leave the Dodgers alone. We’re just trying to win, just like everybody else. Yes focus on improving your .259 career batting average Belt. If you post another .781 OPS again in 2013 Brandon, you may have more problems on your hands than the Dodgers. Generally speaking, punch and Judy hitting first baseman that only hit seven homers a year don’t cut it very long on a championship roster. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">As Stacie said earlier, we’ll see you on April 1st Brandon.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The San Francisco Giants partook in their version of FanFest this past Saturday, and when asked about the Dodgers spending this offseason <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/beltbr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Brandon Belt</a></strong> quipped &#8220;All I can say is, you can&#8217;t buy chemistry.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Belt also recounted his Country Music Awards appearance with Carrie Underwood. Belt&#8217;s responses apparently received loud ovation from the Giants fans. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">San Francisco fans seem to rehash the fact that the Dodgers failed to reach the postseason last year even after spending and trading. It&#8217;s true, but they fail to admit that the Dodgers were so buried in debt and Frank McCourt&#8217;s drama that it would have been nearly impossible to turn things around that quickly. The Dodgers didn&#8217;t add <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/gonzaad01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Adrian Gonzalez</a></strong> and his Bostonian teammates until late summer anyhow. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Now that the Dodgers have continued to build upon what the new ownership started last season, they will have a much strengthened team and lineup heading into Spring Training. Spring Training is a very important time for a team to work on team chemistry or the &#8220;gelling&#8221; of a team. Throwing new players out on to the field in the midst of a season and hoping that everyone will be cohesive instantly is not usually successful. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The Dodgers-Giants rivalry is clearly going strong if any indication by the fighting words from Brandon Belt. The two teams will see each other for the first time this year on February 26th at Camelback Ranch for a 12:05 p.m. game. The Giants may have won two championships over the course of the last three years, but I won&#8217;t let the fact go that they had more than half a season of <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cabreme01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Melky Cabrera</a></strong> last year. The Giants aren&#8217;t chock full of elite All-Stars, but they did have the eighth-highest payroll in all of baseball last season. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">We will see you on April 1st, Brandon. </span></p>
