I'm impressed
Overflow thread for a 9:35 game is cool.
Casey Blake was crushed when he missed that putt at the British last year. He was trying to explain to his younger teammates how amazing a story it was that he was sooo close to winning.

His explanations fell on deaf ears, although they did have a pool going so that’s what the players were interested in.

My favorite Johnson is batting 1.000 so far this season….

This must be a "don't pull a Stults" chat
Up 4 in the 5th. Get the final out
by Michael White on Apr 8, 2010 11:16 AM PDT up reply actions
The high hard one!
Nice finish by Bills. I assume he’s done.
So do you replace Bills or do you press your luck
Broxton is pitching today and Troncoso is probably okay for one
I might press my luck, personally
It would depend on how Bills is feeling
by Michael White on Apr 8, 2010 11:18 AM PDT up reply actions
No idea. But yes, considering the Dodgers have an army of starters available to PH, that would make me consider pulling him.

So much for the QS.
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
bingo, this is so annoying trying to follow the masters and dodger from the computer
what a sports day though for angelenos, kings lakers dodgers and a little masters
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Wouldn't be surprising
but he is batting 3rd this inning

Matt Holliday
has a slow home run trot
by robotmadeofnails on Apr 8, 2010 11:20 AM PDT reply actions
It's because
the imprint of baseball stitches on his scrotum cause chaffing.
So Bills is fine until he walks the bases juiced :)
by Eric Stephen on Apr 8, 2010 11:24 AM PDT up reply actions
I'd rather
in a worst case scenario and Bills records no outs, have Tron try to throw 2 innings, then Sherrill then Brox
by Michael White on Apr 8, 2010 11:25 AM PDT up reply actions
One down
Bills getting a lot of groundballs today.
Nope
So Bills was allowed to pitch until he got 3 outs, or a baserunner

Nice day for Delwyn
2 walks and a screaming double.

I realize that those comments are annoying
But until Bills starts going longer in games, you can’t really deny the truth
You cant handle criticism.

Where was the criticism?
He pitched 5 scoreless innings and you bitch.

It's the first game of the year BH and our other two starters did much worse
the entire point of the post was to piss us off.

I guess your banning will be coming sooner rather than later.
Pretty cowardly wager from you though, know that he was already at 80 pitches through 4.

I’m curious, what’s your opinion on other “losers” such as Cole Hamels?
Yesterday Hamel’s line was 5 IP, 2 ER, 4 BB, 5 K.
Because his mom gets mad if we ignore him.

not an "ace" line
but considering i think of him as our 3rd starter to begin the year it’s not bad

You do? You think there are 2 better starters on the team?

i think Kuroda is more consistent
so while he may not be better i think he’s more reliable

Ethier - sore ankle
Yahoo Sports has an article that says Ethier was held out of the game today because of a sore ankle – hurt in the 5th inning last night on a pick off attempt.
One of the thirty or so that they kept tossing over there?

No winner today

Might see some Monk today
looks even worse that we didn’t use Broxton last night
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
I know it is just the 3rd game
but does anyone else fell a little bit of a weight being lifted as this game goes on?
Hell yeah
if Chad had not faced adversity down it would be a heavy weight indeed

GA solid single to plate Belliard.
Somewhere Ned Colletti is smilling about this game.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I think even an Ortiz could pitch today
I do think Broxton will pitch because he hasn’t pitched yet but with the rain, they might hold him for the weekend.
Martin and Belliard

Masters update
Watson, Phil, Westwood and Y.E. Yang all tied for the lead at -5. Watson and Westwood done, other 2 are through 15. Tiger is 1 under
I think only 437 people bothered to show up for the game, anyways.

Sure seems like an awful lot of money is being spent advertising the census. Almost seems more cost efficient to hire people to survey everyone themselves.
Its a pretty big deal since everything from congressional districts to
school funding comes from this count
Funny you mention that
Because the Census has been my biggest project since last October. At the non-profit organization I direct a multi-agency outreach effort – I’ve been living it almost non-stop (it haunts my dreams).
Actually, the advertising is done in hopes that the Census Bureau won’t have to hire more people to go door to door – it’s more expensive to pay for a person to do that. However, come May 1st, the Census Bureau will send a person to each address that did not mail their form in.
I will say that it could’ve been a better process, especially at the start. Right now, the Bureau is playing catch up, with the response rate lower than expected.
Tickets just arrived

wow, kicking ass today
finally got to check the score…woohoo!
"We have to win eight. I'll be crushed if we don't win eight." CRN...Eat it BN, lol
Belliard
triple and a homer today.
Last year, three Dodgers pulled that trick:
Kemp, Ethier, and O-Dog (the cycle)
Speaking of our Rule V guy...
What are Rules I – IV?
Rule 4 is the June draft
Rule 1 is there are no rules.

Monk left an off-speed pitch up and over the plate and Pee Wee tattooed it for a double. 8-2
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
No problem Pee Wee hitting doubles
with a six run lead. Good game for him.

Ragged defense there. Belliard drops a pop up that Furcal maybe should have called him off on.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Yes. that is Furcal’s ball, as he has priority over the 3b.
by UCLADodger32 on Apr 8, 2010 12:21 PM PDT up reply actions
Raffy never called for it though. Belliard was backpedaling a little, so I kinda expected Furcal to call but he never did.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Ya, it was just a bad play all around. Furcal should have been calling for it, and if he doesn’t, Belliard has to catch the ball. They both should get an error.

Just sat down at the desk
after an epic morning skiing. Not sure what was better the beautiful conditions on Mammoth Mountain or seeing the score when I went to TBLA.
A co-worker just got back from Mammoth. She said they were snowed in and had to stay an extra day. Must be great up there.
by Michael White on Apr 8, 2010 12:24 PM PDT up reply actions
yea conditions are great
very mid winter like for April and the spring skiing will last into summer, the mountain announced yesterday that they will be open until the $th of July.
Been a great winter and I have got in alot more days then the last few years. Guess that is a side benifit of work being a little slow, more days on the skis.

According to this gun
Monk has Wade-type velocity.
89 straight fastball for a strike.

Man this Kingsford charcoal commercial weirds me out

Nice to see
him struggle a bit but work out of the jam.
Bound to be some growing pains with a guy that hadn’t been anywhere near the majors until a few days ago.
I'd really like to see Kershaw and Bills get at least an offer each
for extending them. All these top young stars are signing, the Dodgers really can’t afford to not do the same.
Crap
Why did I go to class today? Dodgers first of hopefully many W’s

You’re forgetting Lincecum and Haren.
These are the 5 guys who will most likely have the best shot to win the Cy Young
Halladay
Lincecum
Haren
Johan
Carpenter
Could finish high in voting, but probably wont:
Wainwright
Cain
Jimenez
Billingsley
Kershaw
Gallardo
Hanson
Josh Johnson
I’m not sure there would be anyone else who would come out of nowhere, though.
Pirates Rule 5 guy PHing. Gets to see Broxton in his debut. Welcome to the bigs rook.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
And walks him
on four fastballs that top out at 94.
Brox…ugh…
We play 9 games in 10 days and are short handed as I see it in the pen
why burn a veteran just to get his feet wet?
And put in a closer in a meaningless game…
ugh, atleast it went easy
Broxton didn’t throw hard as he should…
Only 94 MPH fastballs… That’s to slow for him…
Allez les Bleus!!!! Ici c'est Paris!!!! Go Blue
All the readings seemed a little slower than usual today. Might be the gun.
