Any sign that they'll do that?

Where is the DodgerThoughts get together? Not sure if we'll be able to stop by -- we'll be taking care of JimBilly4's many, many children -- but it would be nice to have the option.

The good people of the Bronx were not happy with that inning

P.S. Statistics still sucks,(in the sense that being forced to take two semesters of it in college is not fun), but nonetheless, its should be the required major of every sports manager/labor economist

And I'm not sure I can bear to watch tonight's game either, so I won't.

Sorry I won't be with y'all tomorrow in person, but will watch the game and be in there in spirit.

Belated congrats to Meloan for the AAA promotion, btw. Here's to one more promotion before too long.

Cheers.

I am bring my sister and die hard Sean Green fan. She is of the opinion that we are all nuts and I anticipate we will do little to convince her otherwise. Having coerced her into wearing a DT shirt I am secretly hoping she ends up the only one. :)

judging on how exhausted our bullpen is he'll probably just get he's feet went in Vegas & get called up tomorrow!

"J. Lugo homered to deep left, M. Lowell, J.D. Drew and K. Youkilis scored"

Prior to today's game, over the last 7 games, the despised one was 14 for 26. He's 3 for 4 today.

There's a Brett Tomko joke in here somewhere, but I can't find it.

I've been here less compulsively of late, but I cherish my friends at Dodger Thoughts. In some ways, it's been a real long couple of years for me, and sharing the emergence of such a great core of young Dodgers with you lot has been a real great wing of my life.

Have a great time tomorrow.

How could that movie possibly be improved?

Skimpier outfit for Farrah?

Otherwise, I don't see it.

"He's nasty" and "that one was gone" is not analysis....

but at least Brett Tomko looks pretty sharp so far.

D'oh!

But since I have Gameday Audio sync-ed up, anybody else catch Vinny piling on Rickey Henderson already tonight?

something like, "...I've got great hands, I can still play this game."

classic.

Not ever having been to the Stadium yet, I wouldn't know how bad it actually is, but I'm sure it's overblown.

btw, how do you pronounce Meloan's name? Is it "Me-lown" or "Me-loh-an"?

I'm just too spiteful, saw that Lugo grand-slam earlier tonight and was thoroughly disgusted.

Unfortunately, I firmly believe the baseball gods took note. In July? MVP chants?

So stolen bases are, again, stupid. And we didn't score.

I think it's Me-loh-an but i'm not exactly sure.

Oy, Kemp, that was not the best read of the ball off the bat of Valentin.

Just pointing out (to the converted) 2 steals, zero R's.

He gave the example of a stealER putting the hitter in a bad spot by calling a curveball when a fastball is thrown.

SB has crazy pop!

Eaton is 10-3 lifetime vs. the Dodgers.

With LA: 160 OPS+ in 3017 PA, .331/.394/.577
With NY: 137 OPS+ in 3941 PA, .296/.373/.542

Thought it might be a good night to get on board, with Tomko looking reasonably good and Nomaah clearing the fences.

Very nice blog Jon - I only learned about it a few days ago, and I've enjoyed everyone's commentary.

welcome aboard Ghost O Malley

It would be sweet if he went in as a Marlin. The Piazza Marlins jersey is up there with Reggie Jackson Orioles and Pete Rose Expos as jerseys I want to own.

I remember hearing an argument for Carlton Fisk that went something like, "he should just wear a cap with a Nike swoosh on it." I keep waiting for that endorsement deal.

"According to the poll taken last summer by MetsBlog and Dodger Thoughts, the great Dodgers blog written by Jon Weisman, 82 percent of Dodger fans feel Piazza should enter the Hall of Fame wearing a Dodgers cap."

Wow - Tomko might just give us five innings tonight.

I think they rule is that they must be past their primes and making about $8 million a year before we can move them up.

I just checked the pictures of last year's DT day. It seems pretty odd that last year was Tomko vs. Perez, and this year is one day removed from the exact same pitching matchup.

124 I did notice the clap your hands thing. I doubt I noticed Dey Oh the first few (dozen) times I heard it, so yes, it's pretty irritating.

That is all.
