But Icaros ate all my food in my place yesterday.

Maybe each run Hochevar gives up today saves the Dodgers 10 or 100 grand, and we should root against him.

In reality, this game could be in the 8th.

The Vols have an Eli Iorg on the team and I'm betting that he's related to Garth or Dane.

Iorg just made his 2nd great catch in the outfield. For the 3rd out, he made a leaping catch at the wall and saved a grand slam.

UCLA has gone twice and is 0-4.
It's really hard to be a UCLA baseball fan because the team has lots of great players, but underachieves to extreme levels.

Yes, I know that's contradictory.

But I will survive

Besides, food is satisfying in itself. Like me and my buddy say, "It's not a coincidence that food and good are exactly one letter apart."

My home network (comcast) is botched... well I am changing out the gateway for a wireless gateway (linksys) but the modem seesm to have gone on blink and I don't have time to fool with it. But I still don't like wither of the reds mentioned, any other trade rumors?

LA Times extra depressing today. 3 Dodger articles: (1) recap of last night's lousy game; (2) some piece by Plashke asserting that trading Paul Quantrill caused Tracy to over-use Gagne and put him on the DL this year. That and forcing Gagne to go three innings against SD last year. Did Plashke forget the guy used to be a starter and go 6 or 7 innings? Not to mention, in typical Plashke fashion, the article is critical of Management for over-using Gagne and others but then calls our pitchers pu**ies becasue none of them have gone 250 innings like Oral or Fatnando ; (3) worst of all, LA Times reports Weaver would "love to" sign extension with Dodgers. Augh!!! Come on Jeff, make your parents proud. Go join your brother.

Why didn't I scream about the limp?

When throwing his first pitch to an opposing hitter this spring, baseball's most fearless pitcher didn't fling, he lobbed.

Why didn't I rail about the lob?"

It's all your fault, Bill. It's all your fault. Save us Obi-Wan Plaschke, you're our only hope!

Looks like quite a mismatch tonight with Houlton going against Buehle.

A pitcher getting an arm injury! Stop the presses! That's never happened before in the history of the sport! It's so rare when a good pitcher comes down with an arm injury! If only Plaschke had complained more, then Gagne's elbow wouldn't hurt.

I'm taking the Steve approach and I really have to think that this piece today by Plaschke was a pile of ................................

Sorry. Keeping it it PG here.

I told Marty that I'd be stopping by his place tonight.

Hopefully Adam Dunn and Aaron Harang will be in Dodgers uniforms by then.

See, this is why I don't read Plaschke or the Times at all. I have you guys to point out the comically stupid parts, and I don't have to suffer through any of it first hand.

What Would Plaschke Do

The mind reels.

"I should have complained about Koufax throwing that devastating curve ball and told him to just throw fast balls. I can't believe I forgot about that.

But this never would have happened if the Dodgers hadn't have traded Stan Williams after the 1962 season."

Or even Drysdale retiring in 1969.

As far as Plaschke's "why didn't I scream" about Gagne's altered mechanics, the fact is, many of us did.

This was my favorite Plaschke quote. Talk about jumping to conclusions. Uh, I didn't know he was a doctor and already knew Gagne needed Tommy John again. What a moron.

We signify something, but we don't have the sound and fury. Unlike Plaschke who has the reverse.

Scioscia and Robinson were both suspended one game. Robinson is appealling, which is odd because I thought managers couldn't appeal.

Maybe Robinson doesn't like the choice of movies on the hotel cable system in Arlington.

Now THAT is funny!

If so, like Gilda Radner used to say, "Never mind."

I'm moving on to different straw men to knock down.

I have had it with this guy. I am sure he will have some good stretches before the year is out but his talent is dwarfed by his pea brain and inablity to concentrate for 2 hours. Is Ridilin a banned substance?

So at best for him, I see him going the Odalis Perez route (free agent who might return to the Dodgers if they can't find anyone else). More likely, I see him going somewhere near but perhaps shy of the Jose Lima route.
