Batting Stance Guy is on the pre-game show right now, and they just showed a clip of Casey Blake when the Beard was THE BEARD. Damn that thing was awesome.
I liked seeing the little “throw it right here” nuance in Andre’s swing. Never noticed that before.
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!

Is there a list of which places have the grilled Dodger Dogs?
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!
I found this on Yelp
In Oct. 2009 I sat in a different section than normal and couldn’t find the grilled ones, so I wrote the Dodgers and asked for a list of where I could get the grilled dogs. At that time they said…
Grilled Dodger Dogs stand locations are as follows:
Pavilions- none
Field- All stands including branded stands.
Loge- Aisle #s, 153, 139, 106, 136 and 156
Reserve- Aisle #s, 33, 11, 6, 12 and 30
Top Deck- Aisle # 5
by Eric Stephen on May 28, 2010 6:02 PM PDT up reply actions
This year some stands are marked "Grilled"
and some are not.
When you are in bhsportsguy’s seats, when you go up to the concourse, turn left and the second stand – the one with Blue Moon as the premium beer on tap – has grilled dogs.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I usually arrive early and buy my dog right away when the lines are short to nonexistent
and have actually just asked the worker where the closest grilled dogs were.

So if he declines,
Does that mean he will go to waivers? I never saw him play. Is he good? must be if they called him up over who.
by Skunkburner on May 28, 2010 6:03 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Other way around
Step 1 is exposing him to waivers. If Green clears waivers, at that point he has the right to decline a minor league assignment (if he does so, he does not get paid anything).
If Green accepts the minor league assignment, he will get paid whatever the minor league salary of his split contract calls for (probably around $100k)

I saw him play in OKC for the Isotopes...
He was okay, but nothing spectacular, fielded his postion but that’s about all.
Green’s MO is defense. Not much of a hitter; a little pop, but low OBP

The Rockies announcers are talking about Manny saying that this would be his last season in LA and because of that the fans were upset. I figured that this would be his last season and I am happy that this is his last season with LA.
I love it when pro athletes have degrees, like when that Florida State guy eschewed the draft to go to Oxford, good times. Sports aren’t going to move humanity forward, as fun and important as they are.

As much as I don't like Belliard at 3rd
I’d rather see Blake at 1st and Belly at 3rd when they go with this kind of lineup.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
I was at one of the two or so games Blake started at 1B for LA
He made an error on a pretty easy play.

Apparently the Dodger defense

Two groundballs for men on base. Two balls in the air become outs.
You guys went right to the bottom of the 1st so I'm guessing
we did nothing in our 1/2 of the inning?

Vin tells us Stewart wasn’t playing very well, until recently he “had a chat” with Jim Tracy, and has been playing well ever since.
I wonder if Stewart just wanted that damn conversation to end.
Are you ever going to break out of this slump and starting hitting?
Why, yes, of course baseball is a game of ups and downs and you need to keep your eyes focused on the long-term as the season plays out – the 162-game season – because baseball has a way of having everything settle to its true level as the games pile up …………

Really
I mean at some point he was going to have to play and I think for him, a lot of it has to do with him getting comfortable, so I think he was going to go through some adjustments any way.
And its not like anyone else is hitting
Really Casey Blake is the only one this month outside of Ethier who is doing anything. Loney had some good games.
I'm not sure anyone would know this off the top of their head, but on the kcal promo that just aired
does anyone know what play goes along with the last call in the commercial “what a play by matt kemp, are you kidding me!”

So what is the ERA for the magical 5th spot now.
It does seem that this year, you get the bad combination of good opponent pitching vs. this spot.
From Gurnick
since Silverwidow didn’t give the link:
Torre indicated that Elbert is likely to be returned to Triple-A when Charlie Haeger returns from a Minor League rehab assignment for plantar fasciitis. Torre said he expects Haeger to be the fifth starter again, perhaps as early as Tuesday. Torre said that he wants to give John Ely, who started on Thursday against the Cubs and is on track to start on Tuesday, an extra day of rest.

a kcal game so I sit down at my computer
see we are down 4-o top of fifth, think I should get a beer, get side tracked getting some stuf done for the daughters 9th bday party tommorrow, finally get the fat tire sit back down and we are up 5-4, maybe if I do it all again by the time I get my 2nd beer we will be up 10-4
The lesson, as always
Drinking beer is good

Nats playing Padres under protest tonight
(that they have no chance of getting upheld). From Mark Zuckerman:
The #Nats have protested the game because the #Padres incorrectly had Adam Russell as tonight’s starting pitcher
Russell was optioned this morning, and is a reliever. Clayton Richard was the starter. Just a goof by SD.
Nats are up 3-0 BTW
Geaux Expos Geaux!

Ouch- That's gotta be frustrating
blessyouboys : Miguel Cabrera had three home runs and four RBI. The Tigers lost 5-4. Do the math. He needs more help. http://sbnation.com/e/1256497

Anyone that's smarter than me
know what has bee wrong with Troncoso lately, isn’t he usually a ground ball pitcher? Bad mechanics, leaving the ball over the plate???
Just watching this inning
it seems like he’s keeping his pitchec up in the zone

Right now
I would say that Carroll and Johnson are doing a good job in their roles. Belliard can’t play 1B so not sure how much blame goes to him.
Anderson is in the toughest role but he got the job done tonight.
Don’t know about the back up catcher since I think he is on undercover assignment.
I can’t wait for the Moe Berg type bio of Ellis

He went 1-2
with 2 walks tonight in Memphis.
I wonder if he bought the post-game spread, Eric can you check that out.
Ethier was on deck in the top of the 8th when DeJesus (the batter in front of him) struck out to end the inning. Ethier came out for Hoffmann in the bottom of the inning.

David Stearn’s little plan has come together half way. Will be interesting to see if his script risks having the Lakers have to close out the series in Game #7. I don’t understand why people were calling the Lakers win last night “lucky”. They were ahead by something like 18 points in the 2nd half. I understand that that last basket was rather fortunate as they scored with less than half a second left in the game. I think the Suns prior possession was luckier as Richardson banked in the three pointer. It’s as if the Suns blew the game and the Lakers lucked out by winning. The Suns never sniffed a lead in the 2nd half and didn’t tie the game until the banked in three with 3.5 seconds left.
Rockies announcers just said that Tracy was a very accomplished manager, what has he done other than a NL Manager of the Year?
