This is how I feel toward Derek Lowe this morning.

Here's a Jon SooHoo photo of Les Deux Ethiers:

Lowe really has been a rock this season. He's just been terrific, even in adversity.

Matt Kemp isn't on the active or 40-man roster on the Dodgers official site.

I am glad that Kemp is up with the Big Club again. But I am dissapointed that 3.5, and Betemit did not play yesterday because the Jays starting pitcher had beeen very succesful against right handed hitting of late.

Perhas our right fielder plays a bit of guitar as well. He appears to have a pretty effecitve A chrord going there while the other Ethier appears to be using a metal bat as a back scratcher.

Loney is not on the 51's roster...keep your fingers crossed.

Is that a fungo bat?

Today's lineup according to ITD:

Furcal, SS
Abreu, 2B
Martin, C
Gonzalez, LF
Betemit, 3B
Loney, 1B
Ethier, RF
Pierre, CF
Schmidt, P

No word on what the roster move was.

It's actually an aluminum back scratcher.

They're all the rage in Canada.

Well this should be a pretty happy weekend around here. A lot of people have had their wishes come true. I mean Pierre isn't gone but he's in the 8 spot and rookies abound.

Maybe Broxton was released. The people have spoken!

Wouldn't the absence of Kemp on the Dodgers.com roster and the absence of Loney on the 51s roster lead you to believe that the two guys just switched places?

Kemp had his shot and he blew it.

Is that other dude a relation of Ethier's? He looks like Rasputin, or Raskolnikov, or some other mysterious Russian dude.

11. That doesn't make much sense unless Kemp punched a coach or hit on Jamie McCourt.

Or refused Jamie's advances.

I was happy about Loney's recall, but if it's Kemp who got sent down that would actually be backward progress.
2007-06-10 11:25:54
18.   Eric Enders
By the way, Josh's post on ITD says both Loney and Kemp are on the roster.

Brady Clark DFA according to tony jackson
2007-06-10 11:27:17
20.   Bob Timmermann
Brady, we hardly knew ye.
2007-06-10 11:27:47
21.   Eric Enders
Tony Jackson says Clark DFAed. Short of a fake injury for Nomar, that was probably the best move to make. I do sorta hope Clark makes it through waivers and agrees to go to Las Vegas.

22.   fiddlestick
Starting to come together, finally.

But unless Nomar goes on the DL, where will Loney's AB's come from?

Game thread is open.

Nomar's vs. LH split doesn't exactly scream platoon:

.222/.271/.289/.560
