Jon's other site:
Screen Jam
TV and more ...
1) using profanity or any euphemisms for profanity
2) personally attacking other commenters
3) baiting other commenters
4) arguing for the sake of arguing
5) discussing politics
6) using hyperbole when something less will suffice
7) using sarcasm in a way that can be misinterpreted negatively
8) making the same point over and over again
9) typing "no-hitter" or "perfect game" to describe either in progress
10) being annoyed by the existence of this list
11) commenting under the obvious influence
12) claiming your opinion isn't allowed when it's just being disagreed with
Give or take 970 ...
We'll be somewhere in the vicinity of Aisle 12, row FF in the Reserved Level if you happen to be there ... and be sure to look for us on TV! We'll be the people indistinguishable from the other people.
Cruel.
Meanwhile, since when does Chris Ray throw 98 mph for the Orioles?
(think he heard me?)
(I said game time cause after the game everyone will be on line talking about what a good time they had)
Are you John Wayne Gacy?
I kind has that idea when he was promoting Justin Orenduff as the 2nd best player in our farm system.
Ask and you shall receive... well ask and send in $20 + Shipping.
And I was going to suggest we raid the liquor cabinet!
And cuss and talk politics and argue over silly trade proposals.
What was 21, seems to be deleted.
I had been wondering what had happened to you know who...Wasn't sure if he had been permanently scared away or what...
Gacy was the clown who liked teenage boys.
Buffalo Bill was used Ed Gein as who he was modeled after.
Ed Gein just happened to have a few townsfolk skins curing in the basement.
Headphones Sam, headphones.
61 I'm afraid your right.
Way to tease us Jon.
6 balls
1 strikeout
NO swing!
Yeah, Like MB like it; High OBP, much better than Lofton, HA!!!
Martin hit a line drive off Perez's hip and trainers came out to make sure he was okay.
Iz seems to cover the whole left side.
it will give us an excuse to carry another crappy middle reliever.
He's got the gold glove at short. Now he's going to get third, then later in his career 2nd, and then first. Then he can get a shelf that wraps around the walls of a room in his house and put a gold glove in each corner.
Just sayin . . .
5-4 GB/FB ratio.
Pirates 1/10 on BABIP.
Jon, how are you posting at Dodger Stadium?
Dodger Stadium suppresses batting average anyways.
I think Vin's a Iz man.
6/6 GB/FB
1-2 HR 2 RBI 2 BB
Cruz is a walking stud

I know there's some luck involved in this, as well as a lack of talent, but the fact that they've almost matched their one-run losses from last year only 40% of the way through this season is pretty bad.
Amaerican Mottocross of walks!
Hey, Mr. Hamm! Didya notice that Perez hasn't thrown a strike in about half an hour?
Keep it coming, the dictator is off his throne!
7bbs in 3 innings. The guy was so done.
He was so done when he showed up to the game throwing 85 mph fastballs.
He has no cartilage, exposing the bone to contact and resulting in degenerative arthritis. "I'm bone on bone in three different places," said the 35-year-old Mueller, who underwent a third operation on the knee in May. "Right now, I can't even walk on it without it swelling up."
My question is this: did Miller somehow lose all of his cartilage after signing with the Dodgers, or had he already lost it before signing the contract? If the latter, why didn't this issue come up before he was signed...?
151, 154 is pretty funny.
2/16 BABIP
6-9 GB/FB
Exactly 3 swing and misses out of 69 pitches (2 by pitchers)
Care to elaborate, or was this sarcasm?
Let's suppossed then that the prime target there is Snell beause Tracy's Perez is sucking equal or worst than ours...
Since a week ago yesterday, Kemp his hitting .231 (6-for-26) with one double and three walks against 11 strikeouts.
"Tomko and Seo and pray for snow"
Oh, sorry, that's
"Pray that Tomko and Seo get meningitis"
I always mess that up.
Furcal's been hitting .230 for the last month, which is 82ABs worth.
Wilber is 1-2 with a HR 2 RBI 3 BB
Loney is 2-5
Guzman is 2-4 with a HR 2 RBI
Navarro is 2-4
Gio Carrara has 3 RBI LOL
The VGoW does it again
Today its 9-16 with 8 singles and 1HR.
Ian Snell is alright, but he's nobody to go crazy over. If you're talking about Francisco Liriano, Justin Verlander or Scott Kazmir, then that's a different story. But I'm not sold on the guy. Just admit it, you like his W-L record, which although nice is rather meaningless.
Kemp's line in that stretch: 231/310/269/579.
Sample size, sure, but Kemp is not hitting.
As for Furcal, he's also in a bad slump - unless we're seeing his true level of ability.
Vin says official word is Tomko has mild left oblique strain.
Why do we have to play anyone but the NL east and central.
Mediocre left handed pitching.
And the Killer Tomato is even sitting this one out.
Kemp didn't have the best BB/K coming up, and he just needs to learn how to do that Oakland thing. And he just hit a ground rule double in the time it took me to look up Francouer's stats.
Snell's W/L is meaningless. That never factors into the equations.
Its his very good K/9 rate that is enticing. Plus he's improved as the year has progressed.
Dodgers Gods, Let Seo complete the remaining of this game..
And no biggie but "wtf" is not kosher under the "no swearing (and no immediately recognizable substitutes for swearing)" policy.
A's walk Bonds, he steal s second and comes around to score the go ahead run on a single by Feliz
Kemp had 7bbs in 69ABs coming into tonite.
You just showed Francoeur with 6BBs in 300ABs.
Kemp's BB/K's isnt as good as Aybar or Martin, but he also has a bunch more power than those two.
For all the talk about Ethier being so disciplined, his BB/K was 0.40. Kemp's is 0.35 Not a big difference.
I guess my point is that Kemp's doing fine. Power hitters do strike out and do walk. Thats just the way it is. He's not scrappy. But thats a good thing.
I'll shut up now.
Seriously. www.wtf.org
Well, Im stunned.
I thought it was Wrestling Transexual Federation...
...or maybe involve Furcal in a 3 way trade with Boston and Atlanta...
I'm petty like that.
Way to protect that 10 run lead Seo
But I guess Seo impressed the scorer enough.
It was the Dodgers Gods influence...
He is still not over winning the division in 2004. It's "the greatest thrill of his life."
Sad. Eight managers experience that "thrill" every season, Jim. Some of them have done it more times than they have toes.
Gubicza and the other guy on Prime Ticket are serious Tracy groupies. "He always remembered my name!" Ugh.
