LAT's from the last thread:

Gen3Blue was wondering about the Center from the Early 90's Kings. I believe he's talking about Luc Robataille, who had his swan song season two years ago and had his number retired.

He was special, that Luc Robataille.

Unfortunately, I don't have HBO or Showtime either... which makes it tougher to watch.

Tomorrow 2 tickets Infield Reserved Aisle 10 Row F $145/pair

Monday 4 Tickets Top Deck Aisle 6 Row G $100/pair

These are Ticketmaster tickets so I can email them to you if interested. If you are interested email Amurvine at hotmail dot com.

The key is to have a solid game from Kuroda and to not give the Phils extra outs. We were in both games, we just need to close one out and go from there. Down 3-0 is tough, 2-1 is doable. One at a time. Tomorrow is big, but if we tighten up, we can't give it our best shot.

I sure want to be watching Fri night baseball on Fox on the 17th!

I've met Terrence Austin, I hope he is okay, he's a good kid.

Btw, if the game doesn't go as well as we'd hope tomorrow there's at least the all-day Paul Newman festival on TCM to switch to before, during and after.

I was thinking of taking my family to Eugene for the UCLA-Oregon hoops game but maybe I am not man enough for that crowd.

You should definitely do it, especially before the UofO (unconscionably) tears down Mac Court.

Hard to believe there's a baseball game today when I wake up to a couple of inches of snow.

It's supposed to be 85 degrees here on Wednesday.

Another show that has totally jumped the finned predator: Entourage.

I look forward to game 3 of the Phils' first postseason sweep tomorrow night.

IT'S ON!!!

Why not, right?

Somewhat depressing news: The Phillies had the best road record in the NL: 44-37 on the road this year.

I also think that some of the NLDS games in 1995 and 1996 didn't sell out.

NLCS tickets are a strange beast. I think the price for them is not a little too high to ensure that they all get sold ahead of time.

The NLDS tickets were a little bit more reasonable.

I wonder who would play the William Holden role today, I immediately thought of Russell Crowe but he might be too rough, he has to be tough but more with his wits and attitude not so much physically threatening.

Does anyone know what time the parking gates open today? My kids and I love going out to the warning track for BP but it's always the opposing team when we get there. I wonder if the area is even open when the Dodgers are hitting.

Angel Stadium's capacity is 42-43 thousand.

I think regardless, it will be loud and supportive for the Dodgers tonight.

First question: does UCLA have any white guys?

And there's only one game in the majors today. And I'll be there! The out of town scoreboard will not be busy.

See you there, Bob.

Then when the Dodgers won Game 3 against the Cubs, people tried to go buy NLCS tickets, but they were sold out at the time. But now more tickets have been made available, but people might not know it.

In other words, we're intimidated and fearful, so we better act like we're not.

Statements like Andre's defeat the purpose of attempted tough-talk. It's the verbal form of showing your cards, with a weak hand at that.

Guys with soft skin and doey eyes should leave the bruvara talk to others. Luckily Andre doesn't speak for the rest of the team. Unluckily for the rest of the team they don't look like Andre.

Does this make sense on some level I'm not aware of?

72. Esquinazo
70 Agreed.

But I do find it encouraging they're aware of it and talking about it.

Billz acted like such a total baby the other night and took himself out of the game (and let Myers take a lot of his hitters out of the game).

It sounds to me like they're dealing with it, and learning from it, and that's got to be a good thing.

The BCS is set up in such a way that's it nearly impossible for two non-BCS teams to make into the Big Boy Bowls.

anyways, from Dodgers Dot Com Torre said he's starting Nomar Garciaparra on Sunday night because he has a .417 lifetime average against Phillies starter Jamie Moyer. Torre said the decision was not motivated by wanting to add a veteran to a lineup that Friday night had six starters age 26 or younger. The youngest Phillies starter was 27-year-old Shane Victorino, who drove in four runs.

I just hope Nomar doesn't try to be the hero & just be selective & get YOUR PITCH TO HIT man...

The Dodgers need a fifth starter next season? This is their guy.

that's the way I feel to.

I'm off from SD to sit atop my lofty perch in the top deck!

It happens about every 10 years.

He was afraid/unwilling/unable to bust the Phillie's hitters inside. (Plaschke--maybe for the first time ever--is right on the money today.)

The reason that helped him take himself out of the game was that the Phillie's hitters didn't have to worry about the inside part of the plate. They could just sit middle out. And even less skillful hitters like Dobbs, Ruiz and even Myers did just that.

Now, that's football!

CBS is showing me the first game of the Tom Cable Era in Oakland and the Fox game is, for some reason, Chicago at Atlanta.

I understand the problem and it won't happen again.

Now 3-2...!

My older nephew is growing up a Lions fan. This seems to explain a lot of things about his behavior.

It works.

OR when Charley Steiner is involved be prepared for both of these possibilities within a five second span. Good luck to you.

Good advice Alex. :)

Or did Pat Burrell perform a pirouette in Game 1? I can hear those can be DEVASTATING to a franchise.

The Giants have never recovered since Bobby Richardson did a plie after catching the final out of the 1962 World Series.
