20 of 30...

... games coming up are vs playoff contenders (or locks... see REG/HEN).

The Bruins offense is the worst in the entire league this year, and coupled with OF Cooper Newell, INF Woody Garner, OF Sammy Sagar, UTL Augusto Pena, 1B David Pena, and C Maestas (with SS Kim, the split of Roberts/Hogan, the injured Warrillow) and RH-Mashing Lee Brouthers has left Bruins fans baffled.

The fact is the entire team is having down years, including last year's #4 MVP vote getter Enrique Jarmilo.

Changes are a-coming in LA this off-season and rumors have it the Bruins are willing to wheel-and-deal, even sell low to shake things up.

All depends on how the season shakes out.

Deadline Woes.

... the Los Angeles Bruins have lost recent deadline acquiree OF Tony Warrilow for the rest of the season, and through-out the off-season extending through the middle of the spring.


INF Butch Hogan has been slow to start in Los Angeles, and SP Warren Piniella is ready to come off the DL at a momens notice.

The other Bruins deadline acquiree MR Phillip Moran got rocked in his first outing vs HEN but has regain his composure to an extent the last few days.

All in all, this has been an extremely trying season for the Bruins after putting together what most thought was a virtual lock for the post-season the teams' balance hangs against the toughest schedule in the league.

Many within the organization think the commish has it out for the team. It remains to be seen if the Bruins really will make the playoffs, or if star SS Jong-Min Kim's 3yr 27.5M extenstion before the season (Kim's average is around .170 this season, OBP still decent) will come back to haunt the team.

Warrillow was supposed to debut in hopes of helping the Bruins figure out the crowded outfield going forward but only time will tell.
