Had to help put Spawn down to sleep.
Back now, but about to go do the dishes.
The Ultimate Ned's Kind of Guy
You can believe me when I say
I have never in my life made that mistake.
The Ultimate Ned's Kind of Guy
Well I'm kinda hopin
That Bride of K will see the dishes done and be happy with me.
The Ultimate Ned's Kind of Guy
I don't know what I'm more upset about.
Clayton imploding or the Dodgers offense once again gone missing against a mediocre pitcher.
He hasn’t been that bad. He wasn’t good when they stuck him in the bullpen and he had a bad inning in his first start this year.
He's never gone more then 5 2/3
but it looks like he’ll make six tonight.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Does this mean Clayton can pitch Saturday?
Not like he broke a sweat
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Clayton got Kershawed
worse inning in his life, seven earned runs, walks, HBP, just plain suck
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
well they do have nice toasty blankets
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!
good for him
someone should buy him a steak
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!
:O !!!!
I was trying to get some work done at the office, when I did the A-T-D-H-E thing. My initial, instant look at the score was “Brewers 0 Dodgers 0”, and thought, “A pitcher’s duel- Brewers getting shut out AGAIN! Just wish they’d get some runs for Clayton.” About 0.5 seconds later, I noticed the “1” in front of one of the 0’s, and I it took me an additional 0.5 seconds to process that the “1” was in front of the BREWERS’ score! It took me an additional 2 seconds to realize that the Dodgers were losing 10-0 to at team that had just scored 2 runs against out “lowly” neighbors to the south in FOUR FUCKING GAMES!!!
The good news is, I’ll be able to get some work done…once my blood pressure goes back down.
So if it comes down to Haeger or Ortiz
does anyone really care?

their mothers
Happy Mother’s Day moms! (on Sunday)
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!
At this point I'm hoping to see a Braun Cycle
to make up for the damage Kershaw did to my fantasy teams. He just killed three of them and one of them can I get any payback with Braun.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
No
one is scoresheet so that is head to head so no big deal, but he’s killing my Diamond League team.

Manny Update
Played DH four inning, Rbi single, K, GB
Weaver pitched three innings

Ian Kennedy with the 1 - 0 shutout of the Astros
The only real bad game he’s had was against us. That is unusual this year

Gonna knock this guy into Japan?

I was shocked when I went to check the score. What a gut punch. I wonder if Tony Jackson or Steve Lyons will write or say Kershaw is pitching for his MLB life next start. Probably not (not that they should, in any case of course)
by Eric Stephen on May 4, 2010 8:48 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
It's a shame I've already got Kershaw on my fantasy team.
I bet he can be had for dirt cheap after tonight.
The crowd goes crazy
over the run, seriously they are loud
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Off topic and just as a completey hypothetical scenario...
Do you think we could see somewhat of a fire sale at the trading deadline if we’re not in the hunt for the playoffs?
No
Like the Astro’s I don’t see this team doing a fire sale.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Possible. I could see a scenario where kuroda is traded for some prospects and then is signed in the offseasob.
Not with our management
McCourt cannot afford to give up a season
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
I agree
McCourt doesn’t have the capital in this town to undergo a rebuilding project.
Plus there is the real possiblity that he won’t be around long enough to reap the benefits of such a project.
by Michael White on May 4, 2010 8:54 PM PDT up reply actions
He can't afford to lose his season ticket base
by pissing them off. Most LA fans will not understand “rebuilding” at the price they paid for tickets
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Besides I don't think
this team will be out of the race far enough to even fathom the thought.

Vlady with a big game tonight for Texas
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Two sacrifice flys - woo boy - that is some offense
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Okay, if the Dodgers continue to shut out the Brewers and score to runs each of the remaining innings...
FREE BASEBALL!
well
they mine as well try to wear down the Brewers bullpen for the next two games. I have a small but measurable amount of hope that the Dodgers can get to about 10 runs. I have virtually NO hope that OUR bullpen can hold the Brewers to a shutout for the rest of the game.
Am I the only one who found it weird
That Angels in the Outfield was filmed at the Oakland Coliseum? Who shoots a movie, an LA based enterprise, about an Orange County team, in Oakland?
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!
I thought it was weird
when they filmed “The Naked Gun” at Dodger Stadium, and set it up to be a Mariners-Angels game!
I meant
wear down the Brewers bullpen tonight, to weaken it for the next two games. (just in case that wasn’t clear)
I like Charlie hitting and bringing in the run
who knows this could be his last major league appearance
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
This guy should be gassed
he’s been a reliever most of the year.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Did you come over from Brew Crew for the series?
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
A eight run home run and we are back in it
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
three rbi's so far tonight without benefit of a hit
not really the way to do when you start out down 10 – 0

Part of the story
He came from the Cubs (the enemy) fer nuthin. After they got him, Ramirez dislocated his shoulder and they didn’t have anyone decent to fill in.
He's kind of the Casey Blake story
except Casey had better minor league numbers. Good thing Weeks went down last year, you may never have given him a chance.

I stopped using MLB.tv
but when they started doing the commercials last summer, it was even worse. Any time you clicked on a clip, you were “treated” to a 30 second commercial, usually the same one. Over. And over. And over. And…at least they seem to have tempered that somewhat.
at least you have the ability to do so
Dodger games were blocked out 98% of the time last year. I’m guessing the other 2% that it got through was just a mistake.
Do we let Haeger hit again
and not waste another arm?
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Zaun has one N.
Zee Ay You En. Zaun.
Gregg has a total of three Gees. Gee Are Eee Gee Gee. Gregg.
The Ultimate Ned's Kind of Guy
Sure.
Dodger pitchers have been so bad in this game, even Gregg Zaun is a threat to hit for the cycle.
The Ultimate Ned's Kind of Guy
Time to demolish the bullpen?
I CAN HAZ DEMOLEESHENZ?
"If the first two Dodger hitters of the 7th inning hit back to back homers, some guy wins the jackpot..."
First two Dodger hitters of the 7th:
DeWitt
Carroll

I'm setting the bar low tonight
I declare a moral victory if we see TWO additional Milwaukee relievers after Vargas.
Oh good gosh they’re talking about Rick Monday stopping the flag burning… I know it’s 10-3 but shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup
The Ultimate Ned's Kind of Guy
oh wow
I didn’t realize the second Philly fan ran onto the field when they were WINNING! The only thing lamer than running onto the field is running onto the field when your team is winning by one run, and the pitcher is trying to close it out. (Just ask Jonathan Broxton.)
I heard a Philly fan call in a radio show on my way home from work. He said that there was a long delay and Hamels was still in the game. He then proceeds to give up the HR to Molina and another hit.
that fan should be thankful for the rest of his life
that the Phillies won that game. I hope for his sake that Hamels doesn’t track him down! (Very easy to do in the FB era, ya know.)
The dude that called was pissed, obviously
He was commenting how Hamels was rolling and that he had to wait for like 6 minutes to pitch to Molina. Plus they had Lidge warming in the pen. Another reason for Hamels to be upset. :-)
Let's just say the Dodgers aren't on high ground here.
I remember more than one fan running onto the field during the $2 Tuesday promotion a few years back.
Let me say that I am happy that promotion went extinct.
The Ultimate Ned's Kind of Guy
yeah
or the Broxton game I alluded to. Nevertheless…
Check out the thread for yourself. The fun begins at around 6:17 PDT:

Wow, Brewers using Parra in an 11 - 3 game
he’s a guy I’d take a chance on.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Glad I missed this game
But sick to the stomach with the score.
Still could have a winner in the guess the score contest as the following likely scores are in the Top 150
125 MIL 11-4
128 MIL 11-5
129 MIL 11-3
137 MIL 11-6
140 MIL 11-7
146 MIL 11-8
Thiswould have been a fun game if not for the 11 Brewer runs

when I see the blue circle on GameCast
and the ball is moving out of play, I know it’s not a good sign. :/
Dodgers score enough runs
to give Kershaw a win, for a change. Only Kershaw gave them all away.

not that it made a difference in the season, but
last year I went to a Yankee game where they were trailing 10-5 in the bottom of the 9th. They scored 4 runs, had runners at 1st & 2nd with no outs. Inexplicably, Girardi had Swisher bunt (on a 1-0 count!), he popped out. Cabrera lined into a double play to end the game.
I hate to say
but right now, I’d rather see Monasterios hit for himself than see GA come up. I’ve always liked the guy, and HATE to see his batting average even lower!
Silver Lining
I hit the board in the simulation from Xei. I have picked against us for 4 games now. We won the previous 3. That was my only motivation. I’d rather be one of the guys with 0 if it means anything.
