Ye Olde (or young) lineup, courtesy ItD, and those of us looking for a Pee Wee start get our wish!

Alas, not at the expense of Pierre, but i really didn't expect that. Kemp's still in there.

Pierre, LF

Kemp, CF

Kent, 2B

Loney, 1B

Martin, C

Young, RF

DeWitt, 3B

Maza, SS

Kuroda, P

Pee Wee gets a start at last, and has to face some guy named Johan Santana.

Rats, I forgot that I had plans late afternoon/early eve so I shall have to Tivo the game and thus miss the live Joe Morgan Watch comments here.

Ah well. Go Dodgers. I predict a 3-2 final score but won't predict the winner.

Fox Sports Net making those errors is INEXCUSABLE. I've heard bad errors before but that's the worst, because FSR is based in Sherman Oaks. How do you flub fairly obvious information like that? I'm they're still on the air with their horrible on air talent.

Check that, I meant Fox Sports Radio, not FSN.

I'm surprised they're still on the air...

And if you're in the thick of Lakers country messing up those details, you're a really awful radio network.

Cal State Fullerton takes the early lead in the first game of what they hope is a doubleheader today.

Oh yeah, go Dodgers!

Thanks Joe.

Thanks Joe.

-Joe Morgan

I would say

False

He hasn't...Oh my!

Pierre is beginning to grow on me a bit.

I feel like I should be admitting that I'm a severe alcoholic with massive drug problems to boot.

I'm just glad a Dodger -- any Dodger is getting on base.

"My name is Skybluestoday, and I'm a Dodgerholic."

[Everyone else: "Hi, Skybluestoday!"]

True!

Huh.

He's got the sucking aspect of the game covered already.

If so, the answer is no, I was an undergrad at UCLA at the time and working as a student assistant shelving books in the deathtrap that was the old Powell Library.

"Clown."

the revenue-generating machine for the next 30 years ,,,,

...Not that the 3-hole is at all better. But its at least some sign of shake?

Now the last time Kuroda faced the Mets, it was not good.

The game is listed as being played in Conway, SC, but isn't Coastal Carolina in Myrtle Beach?

And what's with all the Carolinas not saying where they are?

I think the storm must have hit Raleigh and Cary because the scores haven't changed for a while.

As a New Yorker, I must agree. :-(

"in" or "on"...?

I miss the organist as Shea .... she was classy. Now we're bombarded with loud music every 3 minutes.

The portable toilet is more likely to have soap and toilet paper and fewer people throwing garbage at you.

and the trivia question is, which now-famous actor and TV pitchman played Serrano ...

correct!

Other roles, including commercials for Mr. Haysbert?

President David Palmer on '24'
Currently appearing on "The Unit" on CBS
Pitchman for Allstate

The main reasons the new stadium is being built next door to Shea are twofold: the location is highway and mass-transit accessible AND it's near-impossible to get approval to build stadiums/arena elsewhere in New York City. The Jets/Olympic bid and the Nets found out the hard way.

Odalis had such an Odalis-like first inning. Ground out, pop up, single, single, single, GRAND SLAM.

I didn't see that game on TV, but did Odalis pound his glove on his thigh after he threw the home run pitch to Hunter and make an unhappy face?

Pedro....Major League too I think.

Max 'Hammer' Dubois, Mr. Baseball.

Dude gets around for sure...Stan.

The second half of the season's game haven't been set yet.

106 I would expect 2 more visits.

oh, and speaking of Lou Pinella, funny you should mention him. I'm finally reading Jim Bouton's "Ball Four" and there are a few hilarious anecdotes about a young Lou, when he was trying out for the Seattle Pilots with Bouton that are worth a read. He was quite the hothead even then.

Okay, as you were. Hope the Dodgers do something in this inning while I'm still watching it...

I would mostly always take Monday over Morgan, but what I heard this weekend was painful. And score-free, for good-ole Rick-Measure.

Boo Reyes.

Dinner time!

And they're still batting in the fourth.

Sort of sad that I consider a five run difference absolute junk time. damn pessimism.

17

Nah, I highly doubt it was you personally who made that kind of mistakes. Besides, I'd expect even if there was something of that nature, someone else would of caught wind of the mistake. Good point also about "weekend crews."

If we lose tonight, we'll be closer to 2005 than 1988

Enjoy the trip to back to Charlottesville. May your luggage get lost.

the ESPN gun has him at 92-94 & he touched 96 once today.

I feel so left out.

Vin used to always point out how good Seaver's form was as he pitched. And how you would see dirt on his knee because he would scrap it on his follow through.

It's very annoying.

but as I type this disgruntled comment, Lonestar gets aboard...can we at least chip at this thing?

and Dang! the solution got a hold of that, too bad

And maybe if started played more than once a month, we'd find out if he can hit at this level.

I also love the fact i come home from my softball game and Kuo is pitching when we are down 5. Torre never ceases to amaze.

The reason he is not playing is because the Dodgers were playing 4 other outfielders ahead of him.

1) lost track of outs.

2) has crummy #'s

3) just stands there & admires his outs / doesn't run out his outs.

That makes me really sad. All over what, $500,000? Thats like 8 days of Paying Andruw Jones and Jason Schmidt.

But once Furcal got back, he'd be without a position.

Tues @ 11am: Game 6, 1988 Finals vs. Detroit (Lakers win 103-102, defying Lawler's law, scoring 4 points in the final minute)

Wed @ 5am: 1985 championship video (30 min), "Return to Glory"

Wed @ 5am: 1987 championship video, "Drive for Five"

Wed @ 5:30am: 1988 championship video, "Back to Back"

I actually thought there would be more stuff. It's disappointing that they can't even get 1987 Game 4 on TV this week.

Games that pretty much have to be shown:

1962 Game 7 (not sure if available)
1969 Game 7
1984 Game 4
1985 Game 4
1985 Game 6
1987 Game 4

NBA TV might have some stuff too, I'll check it out for you.

It could get interesting now.

NBA TV has a lot of "TBA" this week. We may get all those games that you mention on NBA TV, especially Game 4 of the '87 series.

Loney swung at a pitch he could not do anything with except hit a groundball to left side.

I tend to believe that it was really the Knicks winning in the early 1970's and then Dr. J/Magic-Bird/Jordan that elevated the NBA.

Bostonians weren't quite sure what to make of a sport where the players tended to have a dusky complexion.

Chopped up but 'it is what it is'.

Part 2 and 3 are in the related section.

Eastern Sports Propaganda Network?

You were expecting Fox Sports West or something?

It would be good for baseball if the Yankees and Red Sox were in a division all by themselves so the rest of us could get on with our lives.

(Winning shot is at about the 3:30 mark).

Uh oh.

The Lakers dispatched the Sixers in 5, as I remember.

So do the Rockies.

Oh snap!

The entire Celtics team plus Manny Ramirez don't get mentioned as much as that one guy!

There, I feel better now. Plus, this week Jay Bruce has been the talk of ESPN. He plays in Ohio! The middle of the country does exist in sports!

The NBA playoffs have been going on since the middle of April.

Kobe Bryant was named the league MVP and the Lakers won a competitive Western Conference to go to the NBA Finals.

Certainly the Celtics and their struggles have been mentioned.

No matter what you think about Kobe, where he was a year ago and where he is today is a compelling story.

I thought the same thing. Sadly, though, that's probably why most folks aren't making a bigger deal of the Dodger's futility for a quarter century.

Imagine if the Lakers went 20 years without winning a playoff series. That would be one amazing firestorm on the local and national airwaves.

Nice!! Virtual hi-five!

Right now, this would not be one of those years.

Or learn knitting.

It isn't quite an apples to apples comparison. I think the Lakers are better compared with the New York Yankees. Like the Yankees, the Lakers have made a championship series appearance in each of the last seven decades. That's staggering!!

For the Lakers, that means they've made the NBA Finals in every decade of their existence.

Where would the Dodgers rank? :-)

It's the foundation from which all other relations are laid.

Also, is the UCLA game on TV at all, or is the CBS GameTracker the only resource?

And he was a nice Mets fan.

The UCLA-Fullerton game is on ESPNU.

If there is a God, Citi Field will be hit by a meteor on opening day.

But then we'd be deprived of the Bill Buckner call. But then again, maybe that would also have been a good thing, given all that has happened to Buckner.

Did I miss anything this weekend?

When he's not doing coke off a hooker's bombs and getting run out of town.

But don't underestimate how much I loathe Darryl Strawberry.

And Kudos to Davey Johnson for controlling the clubhouse. Oppo.

If UCLA were to pull out this game, they would have to make several sacrifices to the Baseball Gods.

Alex Cora crying on the infield will always be personal fave.

Plus the ping of the bat is strange to my ear.

And among the 21 runs for USC was a straight steal of home!

Omaha!

I believe it is shown on ESPN 8, the Ocho

I love hitting the drums: BOOM BOOM...TEJADA!

I'd love to try their $1 hot dog night.

But still hate the Mets."

UCLA looks toast, but not before giving Bob more time on his crossword.
