I Doubt It.

He's just pressing, I would assume.

Martin comes thruuu

Little Upton is already scary at 20.

Toy

It's good to see you drift over from Dodger Thoughts during the game threads.

Re:

I don't really like game threads. You don't see me post very much at DT or here during a game. To much worrying about each at bat instead of enjoying the game.

ethier

has been so solid, he deserves to be in the starting lineup everyday as well as kemp, plateau Pierre and Jones, as much of a waste as that is at least we will win more games.

By the way my first post (dodgerblues is down =P but I think I'll stick around here)

I agree

Im from dodgerblues too

hopefully

he lost a few pounds because thats the first time he's ran 90 feet all year

by Joe Beimel's Shot Glass on Apr 12, 2008 8:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

its great

its hilarious, not as much game talk, mostly bashing giants trolls. Its all in good fun but they are down a lot, I used to go to the espn message boards but those are terrible

by Joe Beimel's Shot Glass on Apr 12, 2008 8:10 PM PDT up reply actions  

I still dont understand

How Young dominates with his high 80's heater

by JLS23 on Apr 12, 2008 8:15 PM PDT reply actions  

his arms are so long

that he's releasing the ball way closer than the average pitcher, so it it probably looks 94-95 and with location thats nasty.

except hes not dominating anything right now.

Lowe

must not know what to do with all this run support

by JLS23 on Apr 12, 2008 8:19 PM PDT reply actions  

maybe not

he didn't always play for the dodgers

by Joe Beimel's Shot Glass on Apr 12, 2008 8:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

wow

juan pierre is so much better than andruw jones

thats sad.

by Joe Beimel's Shot Glass on Apr 12, 2008 8:25 PM PDT reply actions  

well

the fat guy in the all you can eat pavillion who knocks children over to hit the beach ball is bette than both of them

by Joe Beimel's Shot Glass on Apr 12, 2008 8:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

dude

whats up with that?

it actually doesn't change much.

by Joe Beimel's Shot Glass on Apr 12, 2008 8:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

oh yes

the wave starts, we hit a home run

booyakasha

by Joe Beimel's Shot Glass on Apr 12, 2008 8:26 PM PDT reply actions  

Don't Worry,

He'll go 2 for his next 40 and Ned will trade him for Buddy Carlyle.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 12, 2008 8:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

Lol @ vin

"slow down jones"

because hes just flying around the basepaths

by Joe Beimel's Shot Glass on Apr 12, 2008 8:37 PM PDT reply actions  

Now its a laugher

thinks Torre can "risk" putting Kemp in?

by JLS23 on Apr 12, 2008 8:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

I Don't Know

If we take Pierre out, we won't have any more 'grit' left in the lineup. And then we might lose. Because comebacks are always gritty, and the only way to counteract that is by grit.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 12, 2008 8:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

Lowe

Is the dodgers best hitter with runners in scoring position

by Joe Beimel's Shot Glass on Apr 12, 2008 8:40 PM PDT reply actions  

DeWitt

I like him. Hopefully Andrew doesn't hold it against me

by JLS23 on Apr 12, 2008 9:00 PM PDT reply actions  

Dodger bats finally come alive

by kretz on Apr 12, 2008 9:26 PM PDT reply actions  

Jeez Kemp

we don't need excitement, just catch the ball!

by YeagerMeister on Apr 12, 2008 9:32 PM PDT reply actions  

Lowe going the distance?

He's still under 100 pitches, right?

by YeagerMeister on Apr 12, 2008 9:32 PM PDT reply actions  

Nope. Sweeney PH. Too bad -- Lowe coulda gone 3 for 4.

It's the pragmatic thing to do , but I miss the days when pitchers got more complete games.

by YeagerMeister on Apr 12, 2008 9:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

I am

home from dealing with customers all day and I'm tired. This is what I like to see at the end of the day.
