I choke on admitting this, but the Pirates are a lot better team now than they were last time LA played them. I don't think they'll be easy marks for San Diego. I hope not.
How can I be so sure of victory, you ask? The Dodgers are 2-0 this week when I enjoy the fine dining here at work.
ESPN has the correct score of 5-2 in the totals, but has Seattle scoring 7 runs in the 1st inning with 2 homers each for Sexson and Lopez. Tough to do all that in one inning...
Piazza's up.
In the 6th.
I say 14. I will be at the game tomorrow, so someone else will have to count

- the OC Weekly
Do I win a prize?
Vinny will say Tony Clark could have played basketball (must play)
Yes -310
No +190
That one has to be called off since Tony Clark is injured and won't play.

Good people from Redwood City:
Linda Cardellini
Gary Beban
i hope they try to steel against him.
The Pirates have made three errors and given up three runs.
Yeah, JD Drew was HORRIBLE last night. Absolutely an abomination at the plate. Just a hacking machine.
Sheesh!!!
that's what i was thinking.
I guess Ethier and Martin were showing their age that inning. I think we should be playing Anderson and Hall instead.
i wonder what's his time from home to 1st?
we as fans are never happy huh Bob.
Some are happier than others. I usually don't get too high or low and instead strive for a nice middle ground.
Except on Monday. I was all over the place.
are you talking about Roosavelt vs Garfield?
Despite the fact he's almost OPSing .800, he barely has a positive linear weights number because of his double plays.
The Lions lead the Seraphs 24-7.
That's not the Game of the Century. That's the East L.A. Classic.
You can't have a Game of the Century if it's played every year.
that's a good approach Bob
i'm kinda suprise you know about that.
I covered high school football for 12 years until I stopped this year.
Although I never covered the East L.A. Classic. I did cover a couple of Turkey Tussles.
And I covered a few games of the longest football rivalry in the San Fernando Valley.
He likes it almost as much as the Ninth Amendment to the Constitution.
that's pretty cool, did you cover any Wilson High School games? el sereno not long beach.
Surprisingly, I never covered a game at Wilson High.
He'll need to change that or things will get worse as he slows down.
any Roosevelt games?
i don't like the Padres
Chris Young is Chris Young I'll leave it at that.
Where's herman?
I'm afraid we await the next generation, if the establishment doesn't find a way to get rid of them.
Got it. In that case, I truly hope Chris Young ends what he is doing and gives up five, now six, runs.
my best friend did some cool stuff for Wilson, i hate that i wasn't around in high school.10th grade that's all, off to mexico i went, work/supervise my dads crop lands
welcome to the club.
we smacked them around the last game!!
if it was any NY team forget about it.

you're nick reminds me of star trek for some reason.
PS- HAHA Chris Young. Nice try.
Disclaimer: I would rather have Ethier at this point.
He's not God! He couldn't make Gio Carrara successful either.
Then again, I don't know if anyone has made Gio Carrara successful.
151 Um, but seriously folks...
are you serious?
However, Clay Kirby has been dead since 1991.
And Preston Gomez is still with us at age 83.
ps Drew is hitting the ball really well of late.
he had warning track power for a while remember?

what kind of scorebook do you use Bob!!?
good to know.
Drew's blast matches Randa's, to maintain the lead we have on the Pirates.
It's a brand name. I didn't take his. Apparently he fills his own orders.
Yeah, but he's getting old I hear....
it's different, so it's cool.in my book.
I guess I saw he played 2nd sometimes and thought hey why not 3rd? Lugo the Magnificent does it, lol.
I've retired my clipboard and my ability to figure out weird football plays.
you just quoted my Dad, brother.
We should call in Tomko to close this one out.
(I mean that in the negative sense.)
in spanish though.
I don't believe the Dodgers have led the league in slugging since 1955. The Dodgers were in the bottom half of the NL in slugging in 2000.
The Brooklyn record is .474 in 1953.
I would like the Cardinals to play well Monday through Wednesday.
:o)
i thought it was a strike
How can we be beat!
i'm thinking they'll win against Suppan & loose against Carpenter, it's baseball so you never know.

The third game is up in the air for both teams.
I've already got it covered on my mlb blog ...
Now I can go pass out in bed.
Night all!
I love to see Saito smiling after he closes it out, for many reasons.
Bradley On Deck ready to end it in Oakland as well.
i'm off tomorrow!! yes!!
I give Milton a 5 on this temper tantrum on a scale of 10.
vr, Xei
Stan from Tacoma
that's crazy
so much talent but so much self hatred.
the Carl Everett school of conflict resolution
"Milton Bradley ejected (5) from game arguing balls and strikes. Throws water bottle in direction of umpire, and bat towards dugout, fielded by bench coach Bob Geren..."
Side note: in Earl Weaver's "Weaver on Strategy " there is a list of all of his ejections. I think he hit the century mark.
The alltime ejections leader is John McGraw, but Bobby Cox is starting to make a serious run at his record.
WHAT??
