Only two September wins by Dan Spillner spoiled a clean sweep.

Second inning
Fly ball to right
Strike out looking (Curve ball)
Fly ball to left

Dodger Player Personnel Folks in attendance
DeJon Watson (will be on the air during Sunday's game)
Marty Reed (Dodger Minor League Pitching Coordinator)

So MLBTV it is for me (plus I can watch the latter when I'm stuck at work, too).

Second inning, couple of hits and a run on short pop-fly that the first baseman fielded.

I subscribe to both.

It will be interesting to see how many high leverage situations Wright is involved in this year.

That said, so far I can only watch live games and the archived games load seemingly at random. And I can't seem to find the little thingee that lets you skip to innings where there was scoring.

It's their 30th anniversary season. Or, if you can count, their 31st season.

3rd inning for Kershaw
Busted bat ground out
Walk
Strike out swinging (curve ball)
Sinking liner on a 3-2 pitch to center that ended up scoring the runner because he was going, batter to second on the throw.
Error by first baseman scores second runner.
Picks off runner on first.

Suns down 2-1.

14 Playing games from the archives would be nice.

Note: Vin Scully is "a little under the weather," according to a team spokesman, and will not be simulcasting on radio tonight. He's expected to still be on TV.

Ok, I'm ready for--he wouldn't know what to do with it--.

Given 3 hits, 1 run and 3 strikeouts with no walks.

Down 1-0 after 2.5

I guess his style could be altered for radio, that he has to paint more of a picture for the non-viewing audience.

Is the half-hour-later start time on Friday history, or has my memory failed me? Didn't the Friday games start at 7:30pm....

Oh, wait. This is a road game. Never mind.

The Dodgers fired Sergio del Prado, their longtime vice president for sales, and Karen Marumoto, director of sponsorship sales. ...the McCourts have fired a LOT of people in the four years that they have owned the club, with some positions turning over multiple times. So much for restoring the brand, .... What [McCourt] clearly doesn't understand is that the "brand" was all about stability.

I explained the simulcast and that he pulls way back after the 3rd inning. That hadn't occurred to him. To his credit, he apologized and is now a huge fan.

So yeah, those first three innings would be tough with a sore throat.

I thought I detected that Vinnie had a cold during his pre-game standup on Wednesday. Hope he feels all better very soon.

I am stoked that Torre isn't afraid to push Jones down to sixth in the lineup. I don't think Little would have done that, at least not so early in the season.

But I have really enjoyed Andruw's defense in the outfield. It is really nice to watch him.

5.2 IP, 6 hits, 3 runs; 6 K; 1 HR; 7/3 GB/FB ratio.

Bring back the balanced schedule!

Joe Torre Isn't 100

And teams like the Rays and Orioles like having Red Sox and Yankee fans take over their stadiums.

The NL East is a different matter.

I have the Yankees-Rays game on the highest bandwidth setting and it's a very good picture.

I'm sure you can upgrade. The good people of MLB.com will always be happy to take your money.

Boy, I may have to watch this one with the sound turned off. Forgot that the MLBTV broadcast tonight is the Padres' feed. Ah well.

And I totally mean no disrespect to men and women in the military, but I always find the fatigues uniforms a bit hard to look at. Maybe I'll have to turn the picture off, too.

If you put cursor over the video, you'll get the controller, the third option on the right is full screen.

I also think the camo uniforms are ugly as sin.

It's akin to playing ball in a white coat with a stethoscope to show you support doctors. Or pitching in a girl scout uniform to show you support the girl scouts.

So the Padres announcers say that a fastball in Japan - or actually they only were sure about Taiwan - is called a "Speedo." True or false?

I have some silverfish down here in the basement in which I blog, if you want any.

That was some pretty nasty stuff Germano threw to Kemp there, in the Bison's defense. This could be a 1-0 final type of game.
