Dodger prospect Clayton Kershaw made his debut in a Dodger uniform tonight, and here's what happened (thanks to various site commenters for the play-by-play):
I mean, I don't know how often you get on the edge of your seat for a Spring Training game, but that would've done it.
LaRoche has a home run. Starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda pitched two scoreless innings, allowing two baserunners.

Here's a posting at Season Pass about how the movement to save Friday Night Lights has taken a charitable turn.
Wasn't that the first guy up that inning?

I was laughing at him!

When I woke up this morning I had never heard of Saul Bass.
As of half an hour ago, I now realize I have seen his work countless times, imitated even more times than that, and as a kid saw his amazing movie "Why Man Creates" in school.
Who says being a baseball fan is not culturally edifying? Thanks Dodger Thoughts.
So, will this be the last time we see the Minotaur in a Dodger uniform this spring? (Or this year?) Torre said they would get him into a major league game, and now they've gotten him into one. But perhaps Torre would like to subscribe to his newsletter.
Did I? Did I really? Maybe there was a reason for it....
For starters, how can you prove that this number "48" exists?
Suppose 48 did not exist. Then 96 has other factors, including 2. Then 96/2 must be some number that is not 48, but 96/2 is 48. So 48 exists.
Sure you can throw your numbers around and your fancy math. But I only believe in numbers that have deep meaning and give a little extra. What does this "48" do? It sounds like it's just a slacker number that lives off the hard work of the smaller factors.
Does "48" show up early for math class and get written on the board more frequently? No.
It's just a lazy shiftless number and it's fully deserving of my scorn and ridicule.
I'm in Scottsdale. Planning to infiltrate the Giants locker room tomorrow. I'd make a joke about knowing thy enemy, but I'm supposed to be impartial.
Will this be a stealth maneuver? Or will it involve brute force?
Then again, her quads are larger than Raul Mondesi's.
Otis Chandler would throw up if he were alive today.
How does it feel to play for a team that hasn't won a World Series since 1954?
Ask Lincecum if he plans to bring the snaggle tooth into style like how Strahan did with his field goal gap.
I'm not sure what your point is.
Looks like the answer to that is: no.
I think Joe broke Rule 1 there but Tony Jackson changed the quote.
Who are you to judge the legitimacy of my question? I don't play for a team that hasn't won a World Series since '54. I'd like to know how it feels.
It would've been best for everyone.
Especially the Bison.
There's still time, Bill.
There's still time.
That works.
I can't, but I am hearing it is getting very testy.
I don't the think anyone on the Giants (and for that matter the Dodgers) cares that their teams have not won a World Series since _____. Nor do they really concern themselves about this year being the 50th anniversary of their franchises moving west.
Really looking forward to that.
I don't think anyone on the Giants would care, either. I assumed people would understand that.
Btw, Tony Jax posted a response to some of the comments (including mine) about his post mentioning the "RF battle" between Kemp and Ethier:
>>For the last time, Juan Pierre is GOING TO BE the Dodgers' regular LF. And if the rest of the lineup does what it is supposed to do (JP did what he was supposed to do last season, putting up the same numbers he always does), he WILL be a huge weapon in this lineup. If I'm wrong, you can all take your shots at me on this blog in the fall, and I will admit that I was wrong. But I don't think I'm going to be.<<
Interesting.....no not really, just sad.
Seriously, if that's his opinion fine but please identify it as such and not like this is some plan that Joe and Ned told Tony already.
You mean, make up for the lack of offense from Juan Pierre?
60 Has Tony Jackson made Bob's list yet?
The "On Notice" list changed recently, but Tony Jackson's name was not put on it.
