Jeez, yeah...he was the ace of the staff during the late '70's/early 80's Dodger heyday (with Tommy John & Burt Hooton). How COULD you forget him? Tsk, tsk.

Orel didn't come around til later; after Welch had gone to the A's. (in fact, he was on the A's staff when Gibson hit "the homer" in the 1988 World Series)

But, in an artistic sense, the band was in the middle of shifting from the "Bare Trees" sound to the "Mystery To Me" sound. There are songs on "Penguin" that could have gone on the earlier albums, and others that could have gone on later albums.

I think it's safe to say that this album was very important for Christine as a pop songwriter. She had crafted a great pop tune with "Spare Me A Little" on the last album. "Penguin" showed that it wasn't a one-time deal. Her "Penguin" songs could have easily gone on later albums. (In fact, I've said that if you mix her "Penguin" songs in with the "Buckingham Nicks" album, it would have had that Big Mac sound.)

Yeah, but Roadrunner makes me wanna gag...

He went 27-6 with the A's in 1990 too.

If I remember correctly, Bob Welch was one of the 3 pitshers who gave up Reggie's 3 homers in one game in the '77 series.

Yeah, but your team got payback in '81.

Yeah...but those four years were agony. (especially 1980 and that one game playoff loss to Houston. I think the Dodgers would've beaten the Phillies in the NLCS) The Dodgers just got lucky in '81 due to the mid-season strike and the "split-season" ruling by the commissioner...the REDS had the best record overall in the NL West and, in all actuality, should've been in the NLCS, not the Dodgers. The Reds got screwed out of the playoffs altogether that year. But, that's ancient history now.
