Beware the Dugouts of March: The Los Angeles Dodgers' 2009 Preview

The picture to the right deserves a Pulitzer nomination.

Today, The Dugout continues its month-long series of team previews by visiting the Dodgers' team chat room. Perhaps more importantly, we're resurrecting the personality of everyone's favorite Fauknerian man-child Dugout character. Wait, maybe he's the second favorite. Wait, how many Faulknerian man-children does The Dugout have? I'm guessing at least a hundred, but Manny's up there.

Fresh Prince fans, your Dugout is after the jump.

The Dugout

**OnlineHost** Welcome to Los Angeles Dodgers Front Office Chat!

Andraeiouandsometimesyw: /lugs screen name up stairs

huff huff hufffffff

CollettiSoul: You could have just used the elevator.

Andraeiouandsometimesyw: nah, the warning sign posted says I exceed the maximum allowable suck limit

CollettiSoul: There's a suck limit?

Oh my God, I sent Juan Pierre up here! I hope he didn't take the elevator!

**OnlineHost** Welcome to Elevator Chat!

Pierrepants: /attempts to press elevator button

/finger floats through button panel, as though a ghost

Pierrepants: curse my intangible nature!!!

**OnlineHost** Welcome back to Front Office Chat!

CollettiSoul: Oh well, he'll be fine.

corpses can still ground into double plays, right

Andraeiouandsometimesyw: Speaking of suck, though, I came here to apologize. You paid me a lot of money last year and I was pretty much the worst player of all time.

Andraeiouandsometimesyw: I should have lived up to my contract. I really am sorry.

CollettiSoul: I'm still astounded. How did you manage to change from 1981 Dave Kingman into 1982 Dave Kingman within a single year?

Andraeiouandsometimesyw: Well, to be honest, I wasn't even present for like 50 of my 76 strikeouts last year. The Salvation Army sent me to the Gulf region to assist in relief efforts.

CollettiSoul: That was nice of you. What did you do down there?

Andraeiouandsometimesyw: i was a sandbag

CollettiSoul: Haha, that's funny, because they used to call you Hurricane Andruw, and now you
