In the two years since Andrew left us high and dry, with no members, no posters, and no writers, TBLA has climbed the highest mountain and swam the highest seas. Thanks everyone

if this article is to be believed
http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/mlb/news/story?id=5867507&campaign=rss&source=MLBHeadlines
Jason Veritek may take the annual bench role of respected veteran who’s got nothing left but “clubhouse presence” in 2011.
He'll be the Philly guy
You can be (incompetent and a nice guy), you can be (competent and an asshole), but if you are an (asshole and incompetent), your only future is to be Keith's boss otherwise you are unemployable
If he’s older than me, I may have to veto it.
Checking…….
Um…he is about 9 months older than me.
I’ll check back
he’ll still be 9 months older than you when you check back.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
Roger that
I was going to text my wife and ask her what she thought.
She hates sports. The reply will be funny.
You mention 9 months to your wife
and you won’t have to worry about that “wife” thing again.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
I support this
he’d be awesoke for the pitching staff
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
This makes no sense
You can be (incompetent and a nice guy), you can be (competent and an asshole), but if you are an (asshole and incompetent), your only future is to be Keith's boss otherwise you are unemployable
I think I would be okay
with the Rockies benching Fowler and using Berkman in that outfield.
You can be (incompetent and a nice guy), you can be (competent and an asshole), but if you are an (asshole and incompetent), your only future is to be Keith's boss otherwise you are unemployable
that would be like

Well now that I'm not day-posting and bringing you down :P
But good news! I was offered a job by my previous place of business, and they asked me what it would take for me to come back, I said pretty much more money. I am led to believe I would get a dollar more an hour than they tried to get me to take before I left for my current job.
If I take that job, you know what that means…more day posting! :)

You can be (incompetent and a nice guy), you can be (competent and an asshole), but if you are an (asshole and incompetent), your only future is to be Keith's boss otherwise you are unemployable
Oh I think I'll get right back into the heat of day time discussions :)
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
That would be the minimum for me to go back. It’s not that I didn’t like working there, because I loved it. I just feel some slight that my friend seemed to get treated better in certain ways than I did, with vacation time and things of that nature. I’d likely shoot for 1.50 more than they offered (which is what I am making now at the new-ish job).
Also, I do really like my current job. Something to think about I guess.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Take the one
that gives you more time for school
LAST SEASON, I led this team in ninth-inning doubles in the month of August!
Both are 8-4:30 jobs
Next semester I’m going to take two night classes, so it would be essentially equal in that respect. It’s been so long I’m kind of actually looking forward to going back.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Take the one that leaves you the most energy for school
and is located in the most geographically convenient location for school.
LAST SEASON, I led this team in ninth-inning doubles in the month of August!
One is a typical desk job working on a computer and on the phone
For that job I can be on here or any other SFW internet site when I’m not on calls. It’s a bit out of town, but only about 12-15 miles. Plus I’d be working with my best friend again, which is a huge plus.
The job I have now I am just fixing Iphone after Iphone, gets old but not hard. I have been watching (more like listening) to history channel specials on youtube while I’ve been working recently. It’s really great and makes the day pass by extremely fast. Today I actually got to download netflix on a phone I have on the side and I can watch so many more things. I’m really hitting my stride with how I feel about the current job, so it’s a hard decision.

With Berkman gone who will be our LF? I don’t want Damon he is too old . Maybe someone with power like Pat Burrell,Magglio Ordonez or Josh Willingham.
I still think we could work out a trade for either Willingham or Ludwick and not have it cost too much in terms of talent.
I'd take Willingham
I love that ludwick will be like 10% of the SD payroll
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
I forgot about Ludwick. Think he’ll be non tendered? We need someone else that can hit 20+ homeruns.
No, I don't think he will
they are already expected to non tender Hairston and the fat guys son.

would be a fine combo even if Damon does not need to be platooned.

MLBN talks about how John Maine will soon be non-tendered by the Mets. But they show clips of him striking out a certain team.
What team? The Dodgers.
"Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die."
I watched highlights of the 2010 season on youtube from ESPN the other night
The only Dodgers highlights were of Manny for 1.5 seconds…high fiving someone in the dugout, and it didn’t even look like it was during a game.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"

This would normally be a perfect setup for my “righteous indignation”. Buy hey- if ESPN wants to act like the Dodgers’ 2010 season never happened, I’m actually with them on this one!

MLB minimum salary update
November 2010 data is needed, and won’t be released for two weeks, but for now we do have October 2010 data, to compare to November 2008.
October 2010: 214.623
November 2008: 207.296
214.623 / 207.296 x $400,000 = $414,138.
Rounded to the nearest $500, that’s $414,000.

So far
Lamar Odom has outscored the entire starting 5 for the Rockets but their bench is outscoring the Lakers 24-10.
That’s actually an backhanded compliment, considering that you could have called the place “awesoke” or even “swesoke.” It’s like handing out an A when you could have handed out an A++.

Now I do blame God for Juan Uribe
The Giants had been pursuing shortstops aggressively ever since Juan Uribe signed with the Dodgers. They matched Los Angeles’ three-year, $21MM offer before moving on to other targets, according to Dylan Hernandez of the L.A. Times.
We almost single-handedly destroyed the Giants’ payroll by making them match 18mil annual worth of Huff and Uribe.

I was just reading about
how the Mariners declined their option on Jose Lopez and may even nontender him, and was thinking if he would be a good fit for the Dodgers.
Lopez barely walks, and has a career OBP of less than .300. But he’s also ten years younger than Blake, and obviously has greater upside. I really can’t stomach the thought of Blake at third base for another season, but we really don’t need another low OBP guy now that we have Uribe either.
I wouldn’t be against a move if it was for one year at a low salary, but any more than that and the Dodgers would be better off with Blake.
Nothing is ever easy.

I know how I was when my ex broke up with me, you all know it as well. My friend hasn’t even been broken up with yet, as in they are still together but “complicated”, and he just keeps on pouring on with the “there is no point to life if this is all that is going to happen” garbage. I am very sympathetic because he’s my best friend and I know the pain of a breakup, but I’m finding it hard to feel for him right now because I’m trying to keep his spirit up and all he is doing is telling me how he has lost his faith in anything and there’s just no point to trying.

If you read the text he just sent me you might vomit
He told me things that everyone saves their hard earned money for, works for, etc…is just material and doesn’t really mean anything. I agree to a point, but what’s the point of living if you don’t have things that you enjoy. That also includes hobbies, because you will have to pay money for most any hobby. He then told me life is about finding the girl that makes you feel like you can conquer the world and then having a family and kids, and it’s the only thing that makes him truly happy.
If only he posted here, I might get much less flack from Mike, Delias, and G Scott, lol.

"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
For young dudes
you guys have a lot of drama in your lives.
BTW, having gone through the period where your friends, siblings get married, I don’t think any of them felt that way, sure they share some of those things but that is a pretty high standard to aim for.
And yet, he thinks the girl is he with now, is that person, what life experiences can he possibly have to make that decision.
I agree
I felt similarly (though not this apathetically) to him during my breakup, but I see now how overdramatic it really was. He’s always wanted a wife and kids as long as i’ve known him, since about 06, and i think it’s because he’s never had a strong family presence and he wants to do the opposite for his kids. Either way though, im trying to help him see it’s not the end of the world, he’s just refusing to see it that way. Funny how blinded you could be by the thoughts of being in love. Reality is far less worse than it feels.

This might be the happiest moment in meercat's Clipper fan history
certainly in a while.
Griffin has outscored the combined efforts of Tony Parker, Manu Ginoboli and Tim Duncan and has the same number of rebounds as the three of them.
Griffin scored more
on less shots than those 3 and ended up out-rebounding them by one. Did not see the game, was Parker hurt?
Didn't appear to be
but was playing terrible. That was the worst game I’ve ever seen Ginoboli play.

Would this be a pretty remarkable night, though pretty common?

That's a great game
I don’t care what position… Only one assist and one steal short of a 5-5-5-5-5 game… NOw that’s rare….

The steals and blocks are noteworthy
especially in fantasy. The other 3 are good depending on the number of shots taken. Not a usual stat line.
This must be a mythical game
since no one has had 4 steals and 6 blocks in a game this year that I can find.
It's not from anyone
It’s more a hypothetical that I just put somewhat random stats to.

I’m looking for a place to talk some dodgers and the amazing bobbleheads they hire a thrid party organization to make. I’ve talked a little on other blogs but I’m coming over from Yahoo boards because all those people there are Angels fans pansies that pretend to wear Dodgers blue and also throw hissy hits if you say anything remotely bad about Russell Martin.
I also like calligraphy, four square (both the sport and the website), the band “Train” and anyone who brings up pop culture refrences during that awkward period between where the thing has been played out to death and when the thing makes a retro cool comeback.
Things like this
or this.

The Ziggarat building that they claim is in Colorado
is actually in my hometown of Aliso Viejo,maybe a few hundred yards from where skip schumaker played high school baseball, and my favorite pizzeria.
LAST SEASON, I led this team in ninth-inning doubles in the month of August!

I am a member (which kinda surprised me)
and even posted twice in 2009! Proud to be among the counted…
I thought I was a totaly freeloader here, all this reading and giving nothing back, but apparently I am more of just a guy who chooses his words V E R Y carefully.

Love the place and it is fun just to read along the posts. Kind of like dodgerblues lite. Will have to surf to find photos of Hawksworth’s wife. No Facebook for me, I have to do my one man railing at the tornado thing.
Okajima
The Red Sox are expected to non-tender Hideki Okajima. Should we be interested? He might be a good pickup for $1.5-2M and would provide us another lefty out of the pen. On the other hand, it might be better to just invite some lefties to ST to battle it out with Elbert.
Haven’t followed him recently, but he used to be great. What happened: overuse? I say we’re interested, as I definitely see Ned targeting a lefty for the pen.

You can be (incompetent and a nice guy), you can be (competent and an asshole), but if you are an (asshole and incompetent), your only future is to be Keith's boss otherwise you are unemployable
