LaRoche is starting and I can actually sit down and watch a game for the first time in a couple weeks? Awesome.

Does anyone think that DeWitt’s scored his job more now because of his ‘attitude’ than his awesome play?
I wouldn’t say that, he had a .935 OPS in his first 35 games. He’s earned the right to slump a bit. The question is when you decided it’s too much.

I mean right now. At this point, it seems you would want to put LaRoche into that spot. He’s better.

I do agree, but I’m thinking from a political standpoint you have to give DeWitt some more rope.

This stat's for you, Andrew....
Because LaRoche walked during his plate appearance this evening, Andy’s home run came during his first official At Bat of this season!
Cheers to The Roach!

Your leadoff hitter should always ground out on the first pitch.
Although, in Pierre’s defense, it looked like it was straight down the middle according to gameday.
I was more referring to the fact that Pierre wouldn’t take a pitch rather than him hitting it on the ground.

Anyone else hear that guy who has unleashed a non stop stream of smack the whole game. As annoying as that would be to sit next to, I have to respect that.

Now I wish I had the game on TV. Is it Kevin Malone?

Smack guy: “Hey Berroa, Wasssssssssssssssuppppppppp!!!” At least three times.

I remember when I went to a Reds-Dodgers game about 2 years ago, when Maddux almost threw a no-no but left the game due to a rain delay. I heard the most boring heckler ever. His most consistent heckle was “This guy ain’t got nothing, he’s AAA!” What might have been meaningful if he had saved it for one truly bad Dodger was rendered meaningless due to him using it on every other player.
He also told Eric Milton “To throw the heat,” presumably not knowing that Eric Milton was a soft-tossing lefty.
The guy literally gave me a headache, not because he was heckling the Dodgers, but his heckles were so inane that I couldn’t stand it.

So is Matt Kemp going to strike out 180 times this year or what?

For the sake of my fantasy team, I hope not.

I just want him to beat Jack Cust at this point.

Ryan Howard is running circles around Cust. 89-69. But still, Kemp, stop striking out and become Dave Winfield already.

At least we’re not bringing in everyday Broxton for a -3 game.

Joe Torre: “There’s no such thing as a bad time for Broxton!”
