Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
Act like you've been there before? I don't remember how.
What's next, ABBA?

Meanwhile, reposting from prev. thread:
Yeah, Young should be okay, I'd assume. From Diamond Leung:
>>Delwyn Young left the game in the eighth inning with cramps in both his calves.<<
He had a really nice game today, too.
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
First, did Jeremiah make the wine or just have it. I would think you would have help a frog drink his wine anyway.
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
I love to have my fun
At this jucture riding and shooting and perhaps flying are involved, but darned if I can remember exactly how.

Has this ever happened before? I imagine it would be awe-inspiring!
I wondered if Sammy gave up the hit to the first batter because it took him a few pitches to get his bearings straight. "A save situation, what is that? It's been so long, I forgot what it feels like to get a save." :) Jon, that song is dear to my heart and I kind of would always say the start of that "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" as almost like my mantra, sit back with a deep breath and repeat the words. LOL!! Back to work now!!
Joel Hanrahan just hit another double. He's got two and a triple in 6 ABs.

Now if we can just win the next 19 out of 20.
The Dodgers won today.
Grady Little apparently permanently moved Pierre to the bottom of the order.
A good day all around.
Not exactly in character, but....

Runs, I missed thee
You have been gone for so long
Please stay for awhile
Maybe Boz Scaggs was uncool for a little while. Not anymore.
and lowdown
I just wanted to give him something to distract from the humidity or carping on the team.
What puzzles me a little is that I like most of Springsteen, but I never got around to buying a single album of his till last year (Live at Hammersmith Odeon). I don't own any Bob Seger, either, but I liked his early rock n' roll.

From e-mail: What would it have taken to get Clayton Kershaw from the Dodgers? Phillip in Sandpoint, Idaho
Jon Daniels: I don't know, but if you find out please give us a heads up.
You're done. I'll get you on the next three tickets out of town.

Nobody blames Daniels for trying to get Kershaw. That's his job. Ya don't ask, ya don't get.
People blamed Evan Grant for suggesting that it would have been a good idea for the Dodgers to trade Kershaw, which
1) is idiocy and
2) wasn't gonna happen anyway
This is why I use a Mac at home. If something breaks, I know how to fix it.
Sounds like you need a visit from The Shimminator.
53 Yah, did that, thanks. It says "no audio device" so my guess is I need to reinstall a driver, as 51 suggests? But it does say I have "legacy audio drivers" under hardware.
Man, I hate Windows. Can I download without bothering our systems admin guy who is gone this week anyway?
Yes. I had this problem recently, when I had to restore back to an earlier version of my XP Windows. The restore worked great. However, the sound stopped! I went nuts for a while, and tried various things. Then, saw this tip, which worked like a charm....
Go in to your control panel, and go to hardware install/uninstall. You want to "uninstall" your sound card. Even though it's not working, you still need to do that. Then, you probably want to restart your PC. Then, "Install" your new (old) soundcard.
Worked for me.
Happy day! Sun is shining, and you can guess why I'm smiling.
I take it back. Besides, my whole post is garbage. Ker-who? Never hoid of 'im.
16.1 IP, 12 K, 3.27 ERA, 1.27 WHIP (obviously small sample size warnings apply)
Hanrahan was kind of the forgotten player lost in the Tiffany/Jackson for Baez/Carter trade (Tiffany wasn't on the 40-man so the Dodgers had to drop somebody to make space on the roster), and it's quite possible that he could end up being the most valuable player involved in that deal before all is said and done.
When Louis came home to the flat,
He hung up his coat and his hat,
He gazed all around, but no wifey he found,
So he said "where can Flossie be at?"
A note on the table he spied,
He read it just once, then he cried.
It ran, "Louis dear, it's too slow for for me hear,
So I think I will go for a ride."
CHORUS
"Meet me in St. Louis, Louis,
Meet me at the fair,
Don't tell me the lights are shining
any place but there;
We will dance the Hoochee Koochee,
I will be your tootsie wootsie,
If you will meet in St. Louis, Louis,
Meet me at the fair."
Verse two
The dresses that hung in the hall,
Were gone, she had taken them all;
She took all his rings and the rest of his things;
The picture he missed from the wall.
"What! moving!" the janitor said,
"Your rent is paid three months ahead."
"What good is the flat?" said poor Louis, "Read that."
And the janitor smiled as he read.
CHORUS
"Meet me in St. Louis, Louis,
Meet me at the fair,
Don't tell me the lights are shining
any place but there;
We will dance the Hoochee Koochee,
I will be your tootsie wootsie,
If you will meet in St. Louis, Louis,
Meet me at the fair."
It's on my iPod!
Washington signed him to a one-year contract in November.
Re the infamous "Player to be named later:"
There are two restrictions at work here. First, the transaction must be completed within six months. And second, the player named later can't have played in the same league as the team he's being traded to. That's why the player named later is almost always a minor leaguer.
So its usually not even a player on the 40 man roster.
I would say someone like Cory Dunlap, who is about to reach that must be put on the 40 man roster stage (if you think he needs to be protected).
Basically, a professional pinch hitter.
And, yes, this may signal the end of the Tomato.
With three weeks until Sept. 1, I doubt the Dodgers sever ties with Saenz.
Also, the Dodgers have not put anyone on the 60-Day DL so they have that option too.
Please, please, please not Matt Kemp.
Nice comeback by
That was not an error.
I'm hoping Roberto goes away.
Penny
Lowe
Billingsley
Hendrickson
Tomko
Proctor
Beimel
Houlton
Broxton
Saito
Seanez
Hernandez
Perhaps with Proctor showing that he can pitch on consectutive days and go multiple innings, they may try to go for only 11 pitchers for the next 3 weeks.
I do think that it might be a pitcher but a lot depends on Lowe's health.

94 - Yeah, Delwyn makes the most sense, since Sweeney replaces his role. But with the team struggling at hitting the ball, you hate to drop a hot player.
Now if only he could realize his bunt attempts are not only annoying but are also better left not attempted.
So Taguchi will be playing the infield more now.
Belated thanks for the sound card help, btw, Willie and all. It's a great plan - except the soundcard doesn't even show up on the list of programs to uninstall. (the closest thing I see is IntelPro Network Drivers and Adapters.) So I guess I'm - as Bender the robot would say - boned. But thanks!
Glad to get some Kershaw updates online, anyway.
Still trying to get confirmation of the Sweeney trade. He's a great PH and has been hot, so this seems like a solid move to strengthen the options on the bench. I'd hope Young could stick around, too, though.
The former.
