13-12 is mine.

Dodgers win on a late field goal.

Go Lakers! Hope LA makes it 2 for 2 in Denver tonight.

Pumpkin head no more. Just look at that ERA, 2.28!

AMAZING. I thought we were toast up 7-6 with 2 runners on and hawpe on deck. Hurdle is asking to get fired at this point.

Everyone’s comin home

Life is just so much better in 1st place.

1) Tell Uni Watch – Juan Pierre is wearing the regular hat under his helmet.

2) Has anyone noticed how similar the batting line of the 2009 Dodgers is to the career batting line of Russell Martin?

Btw did you notice – the Padres have the worse road record in all of MLB.

They happen to be stuck on the road thru the end of May.

Therefore it’s more than likely SD loses more ground to LA who has been fairly decent in road games.

I would bet we lead them by about 9-10 games come June 1st. : ),

On another note – Until ’Dre busts out of his slump (and he will), platooning him with JHoff in right is just what the doctor ordered imo.

And finally – Manny rehabbing as a 66’er for 10 whole games. Whoopee! Pack up the babies & grab the old ladies – off to the Arrowhead on Mann-E street… : )

Carl Crawford is up to 29 steals (without being caught!) in 47 TB games. He’s still on pace for 100 steals.

Tampa Bay as a team has stolen 78 bases — 18 more than any other team — and have only been caught 9 times, a ridiculous 89.7% success rate. Even the non-Crawfords are stealing at an excellent 84.5% rate.

will probably be just as bad as Stults was yesterday. We can only hope the offense steps up again. It will be tough.

Yes, he was quite average, while Garvey, Lopes, and Cey were not HOF material they were elite players at their positions thus Russell was always the guy who drew the ire of the fans, deserved or not. As a kid, I liked him, but by the time I was 21 I was sick of him and that latest memory is probably clouding my judgment of his time with us. He’d have this side arm sling that Garvey would save time and time again with outstanding scoops.

He may have hit .270 but he also didn’t walk much and had zero power. For a number eight hitter he was fine on a loaded lineup, but when he batted 2nd, his best skill was not getting in Lopes’s way when he stole 2nd.

I doubt Milton will walk seven batters. He may get lit up but he won’t be walking himself into trouble.

No matter what happens tonight, judging Milton on a game in Coors would not be the right thing to do. The problem is that we know he probably can’t go more then five innings and we don’t have much to back him up with right now. By the time we get to Chicago, the bullpen is going to be shot. They may need to shuffle some bodies just so we have a fresh arm by Thursday because I doubt if Kershaw goes more then five either.

The last two Dodger games have been their two longest nine-inning games of the year, at 3:59 and 3:48, respectively.

The only longer game was the 13-inning loss to SF (The Mota Game) on Mother’s Day

Hoffmann had one and Stults had the other. Now THAT is the epitome of not counting on just a couple of guys.
