The Dodgers split six games with St. Louis last season, after losing 16 of 20 in the previous three years, including 10 in a row from July 30, 2005 through May 14, 2007.
Either Bob, or Hector Luna.
Forget the game. I have to go see the greatest pop duo ever!
(And yes I've violated Rule 7)
List:
Kent
Nomar
Jones
Penny
Lowe
One - I have a 19 year old cat named Indiana Jones, because he was the first of the litter I saved to leave the shelter of the garage and check out the yard. Plus he could jump about five feet in the air. We thought he was dead in the water about six weeks ago when he looked like he was brain dead. Somehow he came back and is now on drugs and he's acting like he's 15 again.
Two - In my dining room I have a sphere cut in half that is hooked up in my attic giving my dining room a round ceiling. The sphere is one of the balls used in the 1st Indiana Jones movie according to the family who sold us the house 16 years ago. His son worked on the film. I didn't believe it until I went into the attic, but from the attic it does look very much like the sphere that became famous in the 1st movie.
Temple of Doom was terrible but Sean Connery saved the 3rd film. Based on the reviews you should all go see Iron Man and not watch the worse movie Spielberg has ever made.
Don't forget Sweeney and Bennet even if no one expected much from Bennet they did expect him to be able to toss a ball back to the pitcher.
That would be a hep cat indeed.
Stephen Stills and Neil Young toured as a duo in the mid-70s and put out an album. That's probably about as much talent as you could want in a duo.
Neil abandoned the tour without warning half-way through, however, writing Stills a note recommending he "eat a peach." That's hippie talk for "pound sand."
When it came to Stephen Stills, Neil Young was a sadist.
She didn't make the Maxim Top 10 did she?
Punt is what I do when I'm in doubt. When I'm out of downs, I'm sleepless in Seattle.
No Furcal in the lineup tonight.
But also no Jones.
But I'm not dead!
I think I'll for a walk.
Sigh.
There's actually a pretty good rundown of the Dodgers from the Cardinals' perspective here:
http://tinyurl.com/57ys4b
>>Both Joe Torre and Stan Conte used the term ``square one,'' but they used it in a positive sense -- as in, Rafael Furcal ISN'T back to square one. But he also isn't close to where he was just 48 hours ago. He woke up yesterday morning with stiffness in his back, so he won't be back tonight and he probably won't be back for at least a few days. Good thing Chin-lung Hu has, in the words of Torre, ``been a lot more comfortable to watch'' these past few games. ... As for Andruw Jones, he feels good and is going to give it a go. He'll come off the bench this weekend, then probably return to the lineup on Monday at Chicago. However, he acknowledged there is a chance his knee problem will return, and he said that if it does, there is ``no doubt'' he will go ahead with the surgery. Conte said there is precedent for a player with this injury making it all the way through the season before getting the surgery. Happened with Doug Mirabelli, who was the Giants' backup catcher one year while Stan was the trainer there.<<
Tsk.
1 Rafael Furcal
2 Rick Ankiel
3 Jay Payton
4 Pat Burrell
5 Mitch Meluskey
6 Lance Berkman
6 Juan Pierre
6 Chuck Smith
I think if Lowe could keep it down and get them ground ball outs, like he hasn't been doing much of lately we'll be O.K. tonight. I wish we had a healthy Furcal but I quess we just have to wait.
It would be good to see Kent get it going tonight.
The Kids are doing fine, I just hope they can keep it up.
Zito is two outs away from his first W.
am I still okay to post here? I think i violated a few rules, lately.
does comcast never end it's injury?
Munoz drained a fairly long putt for a birdie and Joh had about a 15 footer going downhill for a chance to tie and she left it about four feet short.
Let the complaining begin.
From Tony Jackson:
All indications are that he will be recalled from Jacksonville Sunday morning and start that day's game against the Cardinals, his major-league debut. The Dodgers begin a 17-day stretch without an off-day tonight, so they'll need a fifth starter at least the next three times through the rotation, the first time that has happened this season. That makes this a good time to call him up and get him started, because he can start on a regular basis without having his routine interrupted. Not sure what will happen after that. He will likely fly to Los Angeles tomorrow. That means Chad Billingsley and Hiroki Kuroda will each be pushed back a day, so the Kuroda-Fukudome matchup won't happen until Tuesday.
How can that possibly be a Rule 7 violation?
</rule7>
Good news for Molly, this means that unless the Dodgers change things, Clayton makes his NY debut on Friday.
Only a golden god...
Somewhere in AAA there is a second baseman waiting for a slot to open up.
Seeing Adam Kennedy on top of the Cardinal batting order must seem like a cruel hallucination.
Hey, I said it was interesting.
I must have been persuasive. Or his dad told him to go to UCLA.
Maybe Kershaw's coming up to replace Lowe and Penny.
Yeah I'll admit Ankiel throws like Kemp.
I thought I was seeing things -- that Izturis was leading off for the Cards. Thought that must've been a typo or something.
Nobody's gonna DFA Lowe. He'll be fine. And then when he goes away after the season, the team gets a nice tasty draft pick.
Oh I love that. Martin was like Yogi in making sure W. was aware of him and possibly causing a ball.
The weak part of are order coming up--I hope they can take some pitches.
Ah well, maybe next time DeWitt.
Did you see that UCSB's longtime women's basketball coach retired, and they replaced him with the assistant at Cal who was highly regarded? She sounds good.
I knew Marty would be the first with the epicurean humor.
How are the coronary units in your town?

But Lowe was asking about Saturday. He'll be free tomorrow night.

I don't know what it is, but I want it.
167 - looking a bit more 3.5-ish lately.
Of course, he was 4 for 12 with a walk and two doubles in the previous three games.
I could tell it was Wade, because the guy on the mound had a uniform with "Wade" on the back.
Helen says it's the perfect time for the Dodgers to make a comeback because all their fans are leaving.
I've seen them in action. They don't waste time.
Or just on general principle.
198 Heh. Was that the German version of Elmer Fudd?
Sigh....
Back East I probably won't be awake to use my final culinary comment---We're Toast.
Hope I'm wrong.
