PrintSan Diego Padres at Los Angeles Dodgers, Apr 11, 2008 7:40 PM PDT
Didn't we just have to face Jake Peavy?
Matt Kemp sits again as Joe Torre keeps up his plan to sit Kemp against tough righties. I wonder how long it will take for this to become "Kemp can't hit tough righties".

Did Dushku Not Make Him a Pre-Game Sandwich Today?

I'm Not Even Sure If They'll Still Dating
But I went for it anyway. When they show Dodgers games on the local affiliates, do they show Alyssa Milano as much as possible, because it seems like they do that when the games are on ESPN, and it gets annoying after awhile.

Figures.
Women date these guys probably because they like the sport, and then later realize that most athletes are dumb, so they break up with them after they realize they don't care that much about dating a baseball/hockey/basketball player.

The Exception
Is Milano. How could you date another baseball player after Barry Zito? I hate that guy. He's that guy who brings out an acoustic party then starts playing John Mayer songs and you just want to beat him up the entire night because he thinks he's really good at playing the guitar. Then he starts saying stuff like "This next song I wrote about God. It's really deep." Then you want to start throwing full cans of Natty Light at him until he gets knocked unconscious.

I think you need to find better parties.

The Last Time
I saw a guy play an acoustic guitar at a party was freshman year of college. Not surprisingly, it was a frat house. Although I couldn't help noticing those kids who played acoustic guitars outside of their dorms. Worst part of college, by far.
At least I'm not going to Battlestar Galactica parties. Zing!

Did Vin just say Roger Clemens is trying to calm Peavy down?
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
Yes He Did.
Which is amusing. Plus it means we can make steroid jokes the rest of the night.

I Really Like Listening To Vinny
He's different from every other announcer around today. I wish I could hear him all 9 innings.
I Also Wouldn't Mind
Having Rick Monday replaced. He's not a terrible color guy, but he doesn't tell me anything about why teams are doing what they're doing or anything like that. That's what I want from a color guy.
Just wait till you get Rick on play by play.

You Guys Would Know
What Dodger did you think you got the most crap from the fans who didn't deserve it?
J.D. Drew is the first one that comes to mind. Odalis wasn't all that well liked, even when he was good.

Plaschke Can Certainly Be Blamed for the Bad Reaction to Drew.
There's resolve in the house!

Okay, that was a really bad decision. Good job Bowa.

Here's an Idea for a Party:
The Plaschke Party. Everybody has to talk in one sentence paragraphs the entire night.
I Like When Athletes
Always say that if they weren't playing the sport they were playing, they always end up saying something else where they would be famous. It's never "I would've been a teacher," or "I would've been a lawyer."
Chan Ho Park?!
Are you kidding me?! If Torre is going to use him in important situations, he needs to be cut.
How come whenever I leave for a few minutes something terrible happens?
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
Peavy showing some of that rage right there.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
I know he had Voodoo Child a couple years ago, I thought he had Back In Black or something last year.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
I'd Also Consider Using Yngwie Malmsteen's
"Far Beyond the Sun" as AB music and then play air guitar on my bat until the ump told me to stop screwing around and get up to the plate.

Wow, I can confirm that creme de menthe and pineapple juice does not mix well.

I'm learning quickly that "that sounds so horrible it must be good" doesn't work. Who would actually want a bloody mary mixed with Guiness?

Brad Penny doesn't look like a giant rectangle with high socks any more. That's disappointing.

Oooh, the rare wave when the visiting team is up. I think that's a much better idea.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
I like to think of it as the equivalent of waving sticks around when the other team is shooting free throws.

And who said that Loney has no power?

Dewitt now with the same career average as Andy "He Had His Chance And He Blew It" LaRoche.

Torre's brain just threw an exception.

Evan Longoria called up to take Willy Aybar's place, if anyone cares.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
Yeah, should have known that. I'd drop him personally.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
Thanks
I thought so too, but IM afraid maybe he'll slump at first. Obviously long term he's the best of out of those guys.
I don't really like corner players with no power in fantasy. He could be useful in the future, but I don't think this is his year.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
I say Barton, I don't see him hitting for power this year.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
That's how I feel about things like this. As long as you keep tabs on him you should be able to basically retain him.

Pick Up Milledge.
He'll get you SBS along with homers.

Nice Suck Job
By King Felix tonight. My fantasy team is getting killed. Alright, Andrew, what do you think of an outfield of Adam Dunn, Andruw Jones, Matt Kemp, Justin Upton, Lastings Milledge, and Corey Hart. Will that produce throughout the season?
by Tango and Cash on Apr 11, 2008 10:37 PM PDT reply actions
He Did K 7
But his ERA ended up being 5.40
by Tango and Cash on Apr 11, 2008 10:40 PM PDT up reply actions
Yes, but it depends on how big your league is. It's at least on par with my Holliday/Byrnes/Hawpe/Willingham/McLouth outfield, but I think my league is deeper than yours.

And Brad Hawpe sucks. I demand you retract that statement.

What Do You Think About Randy Johnson?
How will he do when he comes back? I stashed him on my DL.
by Tango and Cash on Apr 11, 2008 10:43 PM PDT reply actions
Based on last year, he's still a good pitcher, just don't expect him to throw more than 70 or 80 innings.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
My Staff Right Now Is
Smoltz, Peavy, Felix, Billingsley, Liriano, and Cain. I guess I really don't need Johnson. But I don't want to just drop him, but nobody would trade for him, either.

I Wonder Who The Worst Closer Is Now.
Hoffman or Gagne.

Who knows the strike zone better, the third best pinch hitter ever or some umpire.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
Is Mark Sweeney the 3rd best pinch hitter ever?

Hoffman
How in the world is he productive at ALL. Seriously, I'm amazed every single time this guy gets an out.
If He's A Big Pierre Fan,
I'm glad he's not our manager.
by Tango and Cash on Apr 11, 2008 10:57 PM PDT up reply actions
More Hoffman
Watching Hoffman throw is the worst thing for any Dodger fan -- I want to have hope right now SO BAD... cause it's hoffman. But it's still the Dodgers... afterall...
The Fact That Hoffman Doesn't Have a Fastball Doesn't Really Matter
As long as he still has his changeup. But Steiner said he's throwing an 84 MPH fastball, which is slower than I remember.

He does it. On occasion.

Whoo!
Matt Kemp for Freedy Sanchez, make it happen Ned.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
I Can't Take Those Jokes Right Now.
Because PIerre just got a hit, which means Ned is thinking about it.

Glenn Hoffman. Is there a difference anymore?
