Does that strike anyone else as odd?

352 There are generally a ton of Met fans in the stadium when the Mets come to town. The last time I went when the Mets were here, there were more Met chants than Dodger chants during the game. Of course, Pedro did have a no-hitter into the eigth in that game, so thatmay have had something to do with it.

Was that the one broken up by Antonio Perez? I was at that game. Was sad to see the no-no go, but also glad to see the Dodgers win. A bright spot in an otherwise forgettable 2005.

I thought Pedro was do to come back last month i guess things haven't gone according to plan for him.

OK, so I had a bad day at work. It was rife with moral dilemmas. Moral dilemmas make me sleepy.

My life has no meaning.

Dodgerthoughts has no meaning.

Oh yeah, and Werth makes $850,000 this season.

It gets really annoying having to unclick the "restart Outlook" box followed by clicking the "close" box. Somebody help me stop the madness!

Outlook is dead to me.

that happend a lot when i had windows xp thank god i have Vista now, there's some computer savvy guys here hopefully they can help you out.

That list seems pretty good to me. I don't really like Paul as much as Canuck, and I probably like Denker a bit more, but that seems like a very good list nonetheless. Certainly not the prospect depth of a few years ago, but still very good nonetheless.

I am not an Xavier Paul fan at all, never have been, and even less so after seeing him play in person. His tools aren't all THAT impressive, and even so, his performance has yet to catch up to his tools. He's in his fifth pro season but has never shown anything better than mediocre power, a mediocre batting average, mediocre baserunning, and mediocre plate discipline. I see him as an extremely poor man's Jeffrey Hammonds. Fifth outfielder material.

it feels like a boxing match & we got knocked out in the 1st. Hopefully we can regroup & "punch away"

Runs are optional.

Adrianne!

About Xavier Paul, I think his prospect value is significantly tied up in his ability to play CF. For now I am giving him the benefit of the doubt because he plays there, but if I hear scouting reports indicating he can't stay in CF, I'll downgrade Paul's ranking considerably. If Paul can stay in CF, it seems to me that he hits enough to be a starter. He hits for average, he walks, and he has some HR pop. Paul's arm is a cannon, and is very accurate. He has plus speed, but poor base-running technique has limited him as a threat on the bases. Better technique can still be learned. Outside of the questions about Paul's ability to stay in CF, my only other concern is the strikeouts, and those are a product of poor pitch recognition (which can be improved on, with experience), as his swing is quick and short to the ball.

Fortunately, Tony Gwynn is in the booth tonight to keep Mark Grant from talking too much.

Sadly, Matt Vasgersian still walks among us.

Scully claims no one asked him.

Jon and I disagree on the reasons. I'm far more consipracy-minded than he is in this matter.

thanks, thats what i figured.

Never Surrender!

to add to that, pierre's consecutive games streak shouldn't prevent him from partaking in the outfield rotation when he is the worst of the 4 outfielders.

I already called dibs on that wish months ago.

Hu Cares. :)

Kemp to break A-Rod's record? in 2023?

Pitch counts through two innings: Glavine 55, Lowe 54.

Really man, Grady has a nice problem with Ethier & Kemp

My class read that book in 8th grade.

he has a pretty darn good arm still also, really nice throw to get Kent. Donnelly/windmill took the wind out of me for a little bit with that call though.

scattered claps.

When Green got to third he seemed to say something to Nomar that he really got a kick out of.

They're are, at the moment, 12 fewer runs on the board in that game.

ball player talk i wouldn't take it to serious.

i'm picturing a nice scareduck cartoonish post from him tomorrow.

1979, the year Bobby Castillo lead the Dodgers in saves.

With 7!

The Dodgers showed they could make a game out of it, so leaving Lowe in to walk a pitcher and still face batters after that just didn't make sense.

Has the pen been thinned that badly that no matter what, we can't pull Lowe in the 3rd?

The most hits given up a Mets pitcher in a win is 13 by Jason Isringhausen in this extraordinarily peculiar boxscore.

or Betemit, that works too. come on grady!

We are so utterly stupid.

You do remember the guy who played Jason Phillips at first, right?

When do the robot managers arrive?

Thanks for the outlet Jon. Gonna get back to life now.

I don't know but our 3rd base coach turns into a windmill.

Mark Grant tells me that the buffet at the Valley View Casino is so good that even a Dodgers fan would like it.

Mark Grant appears not to have missed many buffets.

Unfortunately, I believe Grits just thought he was the best man for the job.

my bad.

Saenz is not all that useful late in the game. Betemit is. He can both pinch hit and go in to play defense for Nomar.

Don't go making a rational argument. Interrupts the endless rationalizations for Grady's indefensible tactics

But I've cornered the yardarm market too.

266- Yes, and they're only a 45 minute trip down I-5

Then again the city of St. Louis thinks Tony La Russa can do no right even after winning the World Series over a team managed by Leyland.

Discuss. Cite examples where relevant.

There are a few blatantly bad managers out there, the rest are all pretty much the same. I can't fault Grady, let alone call him the worst manager in baseball, for doing the same stupid things everyone else does.

you know what though, it was pretty neat to watch. It was pretty good pitching from Sele he schooled Gonzalez we have to admit.

Then again I thought that about the 4 home run game...

Tonight.

Hoffman to face Howard to lead it off.

That attempt at digging out the bad throw by DelGado was pretty lame. vr, Xei

Stand by for minutiae on The Griddle.

Leaving pitchers in to die is bad for the player, and bad for the team, no matter how much the bullpen has pitched that week.

not really. Beltran is pretty good in center though.

i got curious being mexican my self & looked up a google imagine of the Mex billionaire - http://tinyurl.com/2egjrc he doesn't look like the most interesting man in the world like Arte Moreno does.

391 link contains spoilers

The L.A. Dodgers record for most hits in a loss in a 9-inning game is 18. Once at Texas in 1997 and also in Colorado in 1996.

Pierre is out of the game.

I don't know the Brooklyn record, but it could be a little higher because of some of the insanely high offense eras of the 1920s and 1930s.

Seven days earlier on July 22, the Orioles got 22 hits in a 9-inning loss to Tampa Bay 13-12.

They have added the Eephus and Gyroball pitches, amongst others.

The link also mentions Tommy Lasorda. But it seems to me an even more glaring omission than Lasorda was Don Newcombe. Yet nobody seems to be asking why Newk wasn't interviewed. Of course, each of the three is currently employed by the Dodgers so I wondered if that had anything to do with it.

Do you think he can hit a ball Little League home run distance?

Duke Snider didn't look very good and Clem Labine died shortly after being interviewed.

Kuo's option to Vegas was canceled when he admitted he felt pain in his elbow. He was placed on the Major League DL instead.

437. wow, people actually keep track of stats like that?
