PrintColorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers, Oct 4, 2009 1:10 PM PDT
Just to clear up some confusion. Last night it was reported by the Dodgers that Russell Martin passed Johnny Roseboro for most steals by a catcher in Dodger history, with his 60th career swipe. In fact, Martin already held the record before last night. Martin has 58 steals as a catcher in his career (plus one as a third baseman and one as a pinch hitter), while Roseboro had 56 of his 59 steals in a Dodger uniform as catcher from 1957-1967.
Matt Kemp's batting average will be at .2998 if he has hits in his first two at-bats.
Andre Ethier is still one home run away from tying the record of most home runs at Dodger Stadium in a season, with 23.
Vicente Padilla is 5-1 with a 3.12 ERA in eight day game starts this season.
Here are today's lineups:
| Rockies | Dodgers |
|||
| 2B | Young |
LF | Pierre |
|
| CF | Fowler |
2B | Hudson |
|
| LF | Smith |
CF | Kemp | |
| 1B | Giambi |
RF | Ethier | |
| C | Iannetta | 3B | Blake |
|
| RF | Hawpe | 1B | Mientkiewicz |
|
| 3B | Stewart |
SS | Hu | |
| SS | Quintanilla |
C | Ellis | |
| P | Marquis |
P | Padilla | |

Eric did you catch the story
That Toronto promoted a GM from within so right now the only open GM is in San Diego.
Haven’t seen the story yet but I saw your comment earlier.

Ricciardi already got fired . Man I'm behind in the news
"If your season is going well, you have walked into an ambush."
u know whats the best part of all of this....
not having to rely on vicente padilla to win the division…hahahaha
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
The “I personally believe…such as…US Americans…The Iraq” former Miss USA contestant, Caitlin Upton, just threw out a first pitch.
She actually threw a good pitch, to O-Dog, but just outside.
hahaha i saw that shit on tv
EPIC FAIL

Momentum is overrated
Completely meaningless but the Cards are losing
"If your season is going well, you have walked into an ambush."
Just to clarify
Today’s Dodger coaches
manager – Brad Ausmus
bench coach – Mark Loretta
pitching coach – Mike Borzello (normally bullpen catcher)
bullpen coach – Jeff Weaver
hitting coach – Jim Thome, with assistance from Juan Castro
Juan Castro as a hitting coach is an oxymoron
"If your season is going well, you have walked into an ambush."
perfect weather today
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Insanity for A-Rod…had a streak of 11 straight 30-HR / 100-RBI seasons. He entered today with 28/93, and had a 2 HR, 7 RBI inning.
This has been a very quiet season
For AROD from a media stand point.. I forgot he was even playing a few times this year.
nice work by the bearded one...
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
weird how we got held to 2 hits in july against this guy
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Holy crap
The Yankees are leading the Rays 10-2 thanks to a 10-run sixth inning. A-Rod hit a 3-run home run AND a grand slam in that inning. He got 7 RBIs in ONE inning.

Jimenez-Cook-JDLR (assuming he's healthy) - Hammel
Marquis in long long long relief
I would start Contreras before I’d start Marquis.

Thanks. Strange they wait a day. I guess the football game got in the way?? The Yankees will probably ask for the wednesday game schedule instead of thursday.

Most likely scenario (if Yanks choose Wednesday) is that Dodgers will play the latest game on Wednesday (7 or 8ish; I haven’t seen the start times), and the second game Thursday (with the late game in Anaheim)
NBA 2K10 looks sik!

You're looking at 1 AB
We’re looking at a .233/.365/.423/.789 line in the 2nd half with godawful defense.
In his defense, he’s put up a .218/.419/.455/.873 line in the past 28 days, .226/.351/.613/.964 in the past 14 with 3 dingers.
He’s hit 8 dingers in the 2nd half. 3 in the past 14 days.
That’s why we’re so down on him.

Listening to Vin on the radio
and he just shared the story of when he managed the Dodgers for an inning in 1965. Great story, and a great storyteller. I love how he is talking to US – and not some other person in the booth. There’s only one Vin, but I hope some broadcasters try to emulate him more.

Kemp with the nice ovation…good move to take him out before the inning to get the crowd involved.

mark sanchez and the jets losing to the saints 0-17
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
that is reaaly helping me in my office pool!!
there is a bunch of SC fans that can not separate Sanchez from the Trojans and pick with there heart. Much like they did for a few years with RB on the Saints.

Sounds like you guys had a great time last night at the game

padilla picked off
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
I think Pierre would be WS DH. What he is doing now would bring more to the game than Thome.

steal home now

Partial schedule released
Dodgers Game 1: Wed @ 6:37pm pacific
Dodgers Game 2 is contingent upon Yankees…if Yanks start Wednesday, Dodgers game 2 is 3:07pm; if Yanks start Thursday, Dodgers game 2 is 6:37pm pacific
I wonder
if they will hand out the Rally Towels again..
I need to bring a industrial gas mask if they do.
I think they pick wednesday since yanks probably want playoff winner with no rest

Hey all, sorry i couldnt be around for the celebration last night
just got back from Austin City Limits
the potentioal 3:07 start time would be really brutal for us fans further east as well
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
I'm a Dave Junkie
so I sat at the livestrong stage and saw citizen cope and levon helm, and continuously pushed my way forward and was about 8 rows back for DMB : )

Jamie Mcourt has a direct line to Asmus

by MammothDodger on Oct 4, 2009 2:50 PM PDT up reply actions
My initial guess for the NLDS roster
Catchers (2)
Martin, Ausmus
Infielders (8)
Loney, Hudson, Furcal, Blake, Belliard, Castro, Loretta, Thome (really a PH)
Outfielders (4)
Manny, Kemp, Ethier, Pierre
Starters (4)
Wolf, Kershaw, Bills, Padilla
Relievers (7)
Broxton, Sherrill, Kuo, Belisario, Troncoso, McDonald, Garland
Quintanilla needs to be more careful around Repko
by delias man on Oct 4, 2009 3:21 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
i smell a repko home run
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....

Attendance
51,396 today
3,761,669 on the season (46,440 per game)
Highest attendance in MLB. 2nd highest in franchise history (2007)

Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Weird and slightly depressing stat of the day
Since July 18, Kershaw has pitched in 12 games (11 starts) and has a 2.52 ERA with 11.33 K/9.
His record: 0-3.
Next time someone says individual pitcher’s wins are a relevant statistic, punch them in the neck.
+100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
