Dodgers at Angels, 6:05 p.m.
For those of you who were worried this would conflict with the UCLA game, don't fret. The women's water polo team's battle with Loyola Marymount was at 1 p.m.
In my case my favorites link to MLB.com by mistake takes me to a scoreboard page that is old and I have to click to get to the home MLB page or a current scoreboard page. But this old scoreboard page is (I believe) July 16, 2005, a day when the Dodgers beat the Giants 5-4, and I have come to like it so much that I am glad to make an extra click. Funny how we get used to a routine, but I don't care to change it!
I hope this early start doesn't bug you guys near LA, butit is a Godsend to this east coast fan.
Unless this is another case of Canuck making a joke that I miss. In which case, good joke!
"In play run(s)" just doesn't have the same ring to it
I would have done the same thing. But then, I'm beautiful like that.
Yes I've got it!!!
DXMachina had a very good comment.
I too was annoyed by the big ad that truncates the lineup views
These announcers must be Angels.
yet. I've got it on ch 652.
39 - It was hilarious AND edgy.
wow, that guy is insane. he needs help.
Why do I care about this during a game? I'm following a game on a computer? Why do I care what the BRX or PFX are?
If I were studying the game later I would care, but just tell me what's happening. You know, the balls and strikes, runners on base, stuff like that. Or maybe even the lineups of BOTH teams.
I think one of the Angels announcers mentioned earlier that Little would be making some announcements after the game.
uhh...
sigh.
So, it's 75% Tomko's fault.
What if Brett Tomko was sitting in a car stopped at a red light behind the limit line and then someone rear ended his car, pushed it into the intersection and he ran over a puppy?
To whom would you ascribe blame?
The puppy.
trick question....Paul DePodesta.
Welcome to an Angels telecast. I take it you haven't experienced Mr. Hudler before. :-)
Wait...What?
Jason Giambi doesn't look as small as he did when I saw him play third for Long Beach in 1992.
Just FYI...
I would take Rex Hudler over Mike Shannon in 9 out of 10 contests.
Of course, Rex Hudler thinks you can fly from LA to St. Louis in two hours. Apparently St. Louis has been moved about 750 miles farther west.
they also converted carlos santana to catcher this offseason as well.
I don't care for announcers who try to force their -isms and nicknames down our throats.
yea i definately see the recoil they are talking about but i dont know where BA got their reports about his pitches. his curve is nasty and his slider is pretty good too. But that curve is his money pitch.

And Valdez over Loney apparently. Yay, two utility infielders.
Did the Dodgers send Tso(sp) to the minors or was he released?
Personally, I was hoping for Abreu. That was too much to ask.
I am seriously bummed for Loney, though. What does the guy have to do to make the team? Yeah, I know, that's a rhetorical question. The argument has been that Loney will go down so that he can play every day, but with Kemp beating him out, that argument no longer works. I think they just need a good outfielder to backup the three they've got more than they need a good firstbaseman to backup Nomar.
IMO meloan looks like brad penny's little brother. maybe because I watched penny pitch for 4 innings but meloan looked like a carbon copy. max effort over the top fastball with a late breaking tight curve. maybe we should move penny to the bullpen
I don't know what to say about kemp making the team and loney didn't. I know the reason but still shocking. Ned digs the long ball, i guess
New post up top.
Power, and the team desperately needs power. Does this mean we can expect to LaRoche sooner rather than later?
Less upside with our veteran outfielders. Nomar, when healthy, can carry the team. I think we'll see Loney up when Nomar starts to wear down later in the year.
Kemp has greater upside than all three of our current starting outfielders. He's righthanded, so he could platoon with any of them. Ethier's slumping again, so we might see Kemp in right quite a bit (which will bum me out because I love Ethier). I won't rehash all the reasons for playing Kemp over Gonzo or Pierre, since you all know them already.
Wow. We at least get one kid. The bench isn't entirely full of washed up veterans.
Are we going to be seeing a lot of Kemp and Clark as late-inning defensive replacements in left and center?
44. Nice work.
Testament to how brittle they think New Dad is that they don't put him at short a few games, and placate James a wee bit with serious April playing time...
