The mcuh heralded Matt Kemp patience

I think Matt Kemp might have learned how to walk, like Jose Reyes once did.

Which is good, he wouldn’t have much range in the outfield if he couldn’t.

Two words. Small. Ball.

Are they running on Molina or Sanchez?

by Tango and Cash on Jul 30, 2008 7:32 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bengie’s got a decent throw out rate, so maybe Joe just wanted to scrape for one run and decided that was more than enough.

Didn’t Bowker have like eight home runs in April?

Only 3 in April, 4 in June.

Okay, I might have remembered that wrong. Maybe the three were right next to each other or something.

He hit 2 homers on April 12-13th, then his 3rd a week later.

Close enough. This was also back when Fred Lewis was OPSing like 3.200 and the “who needs Barry” articles were out in full force.

Ahhh

The Dodgers score in the first inning and BIllingsley the ace in on the mound. I’m feeling good.

by the big grabowski on Jul 30, 2008 7:39 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Also four K’s in 2 innings. niiice

It’s pretty nice only having three automatic outs in the lineup.

Haha. I can’t believe that I’m wishing Pierre and Nomar were in the lineup. I would have been shocked if told I would think that at the beginning of the year.

by the big grabowski on Jul 30, 2008 7:57 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t think anyone would have predicted Angel Berroa is our starting shortstop in August.

We still have another day to trade LaRoche for Jack Wilson.

i’m wishing the same thing. what have we become?

by CSon on Jul 30, 2008 8:01 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I’m not sold on the Pierre versus Jones issue. I still have the slightest bit of hope Jones will figure something out.

Hey

Billingsly has a perfect game going

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a 6-4 impala

by jhiat00 on Jul 30, 2008 7:54 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

2 walks for Kemp.

by Tango and Cash on Jul 30, 2008 7:58 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Walks for BBlake and Kemp. workin’ it.

by the big grabowski on Jul 30, 2008 8:00 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

why is jones batting 6th?

by CSon on Jul 30, 2008 8:01 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Maybe Ethier’s between Jones and Berroa to break up the automatic outs. That’s what I’m choosing to believe.

by the big grabowski on Jul 30, 2008 8:04 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

Jones + Berroa + Billingsley = surrendered inning

Man, who’s that idiot that thought the Blake trade was a horrible idea.

You know for a guy that’s supposedly having a breakout year, Sanchez is having a pretty shitty year.

Padres up 3-1 on the Dbacks.

going into the 5th

by SuperBruinMan on Jul 30, 2008 8:08 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

woo hoo! kemp is turning into the spark plug that furcal was for us at the beginning of the year. this is turning into a great day. Dodgers are winning, Dbacks are losing and LaRoche went 3 for 4 with 2 RBI’s playing 3rd while DeWitt played 2nd. and to top it all off, we’ll finally be over .500

by CSon on Jul 30, 2008 8:09 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Lets see if he can keep his PERFECT GAME going

I guess Giants fans have to take their victories where they can get them. It’s a hell of a team to root for.

My job is done

So long LA suckos!

Arizona now leads 5-3

And they still have two on with one out.

It’s amazing how many of the Giant’s hitters collect social security.

Odds on a Jones’ K?
