I thought Furcal had two of them.

That eliminates me. Heck, I usually ask Timmermann anyway...

Hamels...Lincecum....awesome.

It's four different players.

It's like playing "Master Mind."

should we give hints?

I hung my head.

Maybe we can eek one out somehow.

In getting picked off first base, Juan Pierre has now offically made 100 outs.

solid, but not spectacular or anything.

what i don't understand, however, is why people continue to think that past stats would necessarily be relevant. the dodger teams tim hudson may have faced 3 years ago, or even last year, are substantially different than the lineup he will face tonight. so what does his past success really matter?

even the other day, when i lamented our poor record against the braves, it doesn't necessarily mean that will have an effect on tonight. it's just that the braves have been regularly a good team over the past 20 years.

i respecfully disagree with you Toy & Zappala.

I should buy my Dad lunch with Steiner for his birthday.

Now that the Brew Crew (best in baseball) are up 3-0 behind Suppan is it OK to put on the Turner crew and watch Los Dodgers?

Whoever taught him how to steal should talk with Pierre.

And now a bad throw to third. Martin's got to work on that. I don't get to watch very often, but he's sailed the last three throws I've seen him make.

it might be that Lowe is on the mound and he is notorious for being incredibly slow to the plate.

on the other hand, it's two people beating each other to a pulp and causing potentially grave bodily harm, very likely including brain damage, all to make a buck and amuse some spectators.

so, it's barbaric, but its primal nature is also part of its allure.

Maybe, but both of those SBs were outs with decent throws.

There's no way that they will keep him in LF for any extended period of time.

The ump will not give Lowe that ball that tails back over the plate.

You have to think of the economic effects.

Nice baserunning by Furcal, and how clutch is NOMAR??

he could be more clutch playing 3b!

More of your people's work, Pellam?

I think the Dodgers actually had four at one time in a game last season . . .

Probably mentioned above but I just saw where Chris Carpenter wend on the DL for three months. While I don't wish anyone onto the DL if someone has to go I just assume it be a pitcher that OWNS the Dodgers, especially with the Cards coming to town next week.

7IP 3H 0ER 1bb 8k

on the season he has a 36:10 k/bb ratio in 33.1IP with a ERA of 2.97. Hes in his second year removed from TJ surgery and might be getting it together.

And pierre just did something to anger me some more.

For someone who is suppose to be a wiz with the bat that sure was a poor attempt.

Thank you.

I may have to rethink this.

I work in Bay Area hospitals. I know what I'm talking about.

it's the new yellow seats in Dodger Stadium. despite the fact that the opposing CFs don't seem to have the same problem.

Not that I'm aware of, but they look very nice in scrubs.

insufficient sample size.

Also, any Jim Bowden sightings lately?

only because getting shut out sucks so bad.

My perception of the universe is the only one that matters.

I would think so. I haven't been to DC in a while, but I know RFK is in a pretty scary neighborhood.

and in SC, when you say "bowden", you don't usually think about Jim. or baseball, for that matter.

Also, again just one game, by Mr. Hu went 5-5 with 3 doubles (all line drives) and 2 groundball singles. He also had a flyball double in his only at bat last night so he is 6-6 in his last 2 games.

betemit finds the bleachers.

That was a serioulsy fat pitch but good for him.

And Pierre is still bunting.

I haven't been so happy to see a home run all year:):):):):):)

Betemit/Saenz as pinch hitters off the bench wouldnt be bad though.

but brox is neither over budget nor two years late.

they did get a couple of draft picks as compensation for losing Baez in free agency.

Mark Grace: Jonathan Broxton is the largest man in the world.

I'm no fan of mixed metaphors but if I saw Jonathon Broxton tap dancing on a tightrope my head would probably explode.

Yates made him look goofy.

Betemit=Beltre
Nomar=Green
Pierre=Roberts

my guess comes from multiple radar guns at all of the ballparks that the Dodgers have visited this season (and last season, for that matter).

I could be wrong, but I don't recall ever seeing a brox fastball at 100 MPH.

"the dodgers huffed and they puffed . . . and they came through with a mouse".

Gonzo=Brian Jordan

to me he's like an underground band i knew about him way before the "regular people" did.

I was thinking pretty much the same thing except I was putting in Mota.

thats how i felt about him back in 2003.

holy hell. 6 runs. we're rich!

Shuey was ok, but I guess I do remember Quantrill/Mota being the 8th inning men that year.

And he asked what his OBP was...

i think it was for Cody Ross.

April 1, 2004: Traded by the Detroit Tigers to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Steve Colyer.

ah, I see, I was talking about Ross. he was sort of a favorite of mine.

only against the pirates. he was essentially worthless against everyone else.

jesus.

where was the umpire?

Robably not enough Abs to determine if he's legit though.

5 run lead, and the tying run on deck.

that was the whole problem. ross had flashes of brilliance, but couldn't seem to put the whole thing together . . . .

I was sorry to see him go. but then again, my favorite dodger is currently jason repko, so take it all with a grain of salt.

Easy for you to say...

Now that putout by Martinez was about as easy a play as you could get.

ok, that was funny.

I wonder how ESPN let itself get outbid for that one. I also wonder how many baseball fans don't have cable and thus will be deprived from seeing those games.

judging just by the outcry over DTV almost getting exclusive rights to the Extra Innings package, I would say that it isn't too many.

Okay, maybe he is a terrible, just not hopeless player.

Furcal, Pierre, Kent, Clark, Martin, Betemit.

But how did he know it would be six?

Or should i say, $105 million Kevin Brown? (because that will get me in trouble here) ;)

you can suggest it but i dont really see the resemblance. Brown used a between 3 quarters and side-arm arm slot; kind of like jake peavy. Lincecum is straight up over the top. Everyone we'll see tomorrow. Its unique, but its not insane looking.

:)

Should I try to get some tickets for the Jazz-Warriors series?

in terms of height, yes hes around their height. But all three of their pitching motions are pretty different. Im still trying to figure out which big league player most resembles parkers delivery.

i agree.
