It makes me feel old that Clayton Kershaw is 4 years younger than me, and has done more cool things than I have. I wish I could throw a ball fast.
I try to tell myself I don't care
but I still find myself jealous of all these young guys who are pro athletes.

Juan Pierre is the best leadoff hitter in this game.

Kind of like how Stephen A. Smith is the greatest sportswriter alive?

You know what one hit wonder’s album is really good? Semisonic. Totally didn’t appreciate the album when I bought it.

I’m starting to actually fear Ryan Ludwick. Something’s wrong with that.

He can’t keep up his Chris Shelton impression forever.

PrOPS actually says he’s under performing.

I can’t live in a world where Ryan Ludwick is actually good. I just can’t.

It is crazy
how the Cards seemed to produce all these power hitting OFers out of nowhere.

Why in the world
did Juan Pierre bunt with 2 outs? Does he really have that little faith in himself?
The poster formerly known as Matt.
I think it’s more that he’s that confident in his bunting ability.

He’s really bad at bunting for hits, you’d think he’d realize this.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
He probably thinks that he’s great at it because he goes out to the field early every morning whenever the Dodgers play to test the field and how the ball’s rolling in the infield.

Corry Patterson
had a pretty horrific stint for the Reds this season. Bourn hasn’t hit lead off for a month now.

I meant between the Dodgers and Cardinals. Izturis or Pierre?

How about this for the new tagline: “True Blue LA: Where Manny Ramirez Makes You Forget that Pedro Feliz Will Be Our 2009 Starting Third Baseman.”
That's only Juan Pierre's
second triple of the season. Where have all his triples gone?

I did read that Dodger Stadium suppresses doubles and triples.
by Tango and Cash on Aug 7, 2008 12:19 PM PDT up reply actions
He had only 8 last year
as opposed 13 the year before I think. Without the double digit triples he has no slugging.

That means you were old enough to see the Dead Kennedys live.

1 run in 16 innings has to be one of the better stretches by a 20 year old pitcher.

They’re leaving him in. I don’t like this. Kershaw is exactly the type of guy you want to keep on a strict pitch count.

Great, now I’m panicking about Torre destroying the Minotaur’s arm.

95 pitches for Kershaw and he’s going to go back out there?

Rick Monday thinks
that they kind of have no choice with Penny and Kuroda both coming off the DL they want to rest the bullpen as much as possible.
Still kind of dumb.
The poster formerly known as Matt.
Agreed. Worry about that later. You can’t kill Kershaw’s arm for such a bad reason.

I can’t see Sherill passing through waivers at all, and at least we wouldn’t have to give up anything good for Guardado.
by Tango and Cash on Aug 7, 2008 1:16 PM PDT up reply actions
Sherill is Joe Beimel, he just happens to pitch in the ninth. I wouldn’t want him.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
Eh
he’s a lot harder on lefties than Beimel and he’s improved a lot against righties. He will be over valued because of his save totals though.
The poster formerly known as Matt.
That’s why I don’t think he’d even pass through waivers.

Perhaps this has already been said, but Kent batting third is a freaking joke.

And Torre brings in Kuo? If anyone is capable of pitching multiple innings in our pen, it’s him (and Park). If Torre planned to bring Kuo in, then why not put him in in the 7th?!
Dodgers played Wednesday night's loss
under protest:

Doesn’t sound like anything will come of it though.

Never count on a man named Skip to do a man’s job
