Random tip of the day.
Here’s a fast way to chill an aluminum beverage: Get a bucket of ice water and mix w/salt.
Acts as a homemade freezer.
I saw your comments earlier about Strasburg
And I can say that I have not seen him throw 1 pitch. I read about it on mlb.com but I haven’t seen him yet. I know you were pumped. I cant imagine, in a PG world, what was going through your head when he was K’ing #14. :-)
He was insane that night
His second start wasn’t near as good, but thats saying more about how amazing the first was, as the second was definitely not bad, aside from the walks.
It’s time for the offense to come to the rescue

Matt Kemp will hit 3 homeruns this week
I’m calling it.
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
With another 2 or 3 doubles
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
Oh how rude of me to forget the 2 homeruns and 5 doubles he will hit in that series ;)
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
Its kind of hard for me to believe any stats these days
The Dodgers either win very close games or get blown out. But as Eric also says, they have won 21 out of their last 23 when they score at least 4 runs.
From Jon's article regarding Bills
The team wasn’t expecting [Billingsley] to miss any time, but he felt tightness during his latest bullpen workout at the very end on his pushoff leg, and the Dodgers didn’t want that to mess up his mechanics.
Somewhere, Eric Gagne is reading this and weeping.
Rotoworld
Dodgers placed RHP Chad Billingsley on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 12, with a groin strain.
Dodgers manager Joe Torre said that Billingsley suffered the injury during his start against the Angels on Friday. The team made the decision to place him on the disabled list after he attempted to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. Ronald Belisario is now likely to stay in the starting rotation once Vicente Padilla returns from the disabled list.
Nice.
lol where did you get that?

Furcal has started three of the last four games with an extra-base hit:
Triple Friday
Homer Sunday
Double Tonight
From Dylan H
The Dodgers are planning to call up Travis Schlichting from triple A to replace Billingsley on the active roster

They have lost every game where they have only score 3 runs this year.
But what about in games they have scored 3 in the 1st inning?

Missed a chance to get the pitcher up. Harang better hope for some 1 pitch outs or he’ll be toast real quick

make it sound like he’s just come over from Japan before this year. “Veteran of the Japanese leagues…” “Average stuff” etc.

Welsh
He talks a lot but only half of what he says is factually accurate.
Apparently the Dodgers “have had a sweeping kind of year, they swept the cards (true) and got swept by the Angels [true], swept a few other series and have been swept a bunch of times” [huh? they went through a good chunk of the season not losing a series and not being swept]

Off Topic
But I want to make love to the new Nintendo 3DS. Even when I know there will likely be an even more expensive version coming out a year after the initial version. So this is what it feels like to be a iPhone whore.
Reds took that one slow even though it was just 16 pitches
Tried to rest their pitcher but maybe he’ll come out sweating still
Kuroda K’s. Furcal bloops a single to left.
Second base is calling to you Raffy. Like a light in a cave.
It's been that kind of a year for the Reds. Some innings they sweep a team, others they get swept.

Supposed to be good, had 2 straight good Springs,

Something I did not know
Phil Jackson has not coached a Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Well, until. Yeah you know.
In that case, has any Laker played in a Game 7 final?
If not, the Lakers lack of experience in Game 7’s of the NBA Finals will likely be too much to overcome.

Another nugget. The Lakers have only been eliminated from the playoffs once at Staples Center.
2003 WCSF against the Spurs.
2000 – Won Title
2001 – Won Title
2002 – Won Title
2003 – Eliminated by Spurs at Staples
2004 – Eliminated @ Detroit
2005 – No playoffs
2006 – Eliminated @ Phoenix
2007 – Eliminated @ Phoenix
2008 – Eliminated @ Boston
2009 – Won Title
With that said they’ve only won one championship at Staples Center. 2000 against the Pacers.
SOMETHING WILL HAVE TO GIVE. : )
Since 1985
15 series, including this one, has gone at least 6 games.
The ultimate champion won the championship at home 11 times (including 3 that went 7). The odds are with the Celtics to close out tonight since all but one team that has led 3-2 in this format has won in 6 games.
Only three times has the trailing team won Game 6 but then the home team did go on to win the title at home each of those three times.

I get people not liking him as an actor but I don’t get the extreme hate for him. At the same time, Megan Fox is confirmed by anyone who has ever dealt with her as a shitty actress and a huge bitch to boot.

I like him and don’t like her. not gay
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
I've never had a problem with him as an actor
I don’t like every role he has played or everything he has been in, but I will never understand the hate for him, unless most of it comes from him being in Indy 4.
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
I think the Indy 4 thing was a big part of the hate
But I enjoy most of his roles:
Holes
Eagle Eye
Indiana Jones 4
Transformers 2 (not really the movie, just him in it)
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
I personally really liked Suburbia
and think the hate for Indy 4 is way overblown. It had bad parts but isn’t anywhere near the abortion people make it out to be.

Oh yeah, forgot about that one

Say what you will about Megan Fox's acting abilities
Shes still an addition to a cast, even if you have to mute her scenes.
Sorta like Lindsay Lohan’s career was, before she went from hot to terrifying.
Except you can find hot chicks who can act better and aren't huge bitches with minimal effort.

It doesn't matter if it goes 5 tonight
The umpires would just suspend the game and the two clubs would resume at the point of suspension presumably one of the next two days.
It could be a shortened game (the Rockies won a 6-inning game on Friday), but I was thinking more in terms of intentionally making outs just to quicken the decision.

That’s not right, I believe. If it goes five the game will be over. It all depends on what the Reds are doing at the point of the stoppage.

Nope

Seriously, I have not read it. My Dad read it, I think, and may still have it. I will check on it
I just finished it. A guy hangsout with the RV tailgaters for a season of Bama football some of the stories are pretty good. One of which is the parents of a bride didn’t make her wedding because she scheduled the wedding for the third Saturday in October which everyone knows is the UT game.

My brother moved to Huntsville
after living forty years in LA so his wife could be near her mother. Her mother died and now they are stuck because they sold their house. I feel for him every day. Nothing against Southern folk but my brother hates cars and couldn’t care less about college football and car racing. Just doesn’t fit in.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
I love the South
but It is like anything else. If you don’t grow up with it, it is hard for you to find what others like about it. I fuckin hate the beach. I would rather go to the library than attempt to surf or whatever else is done there. But I get the fascination with it from those that live there. The South is largely stereotyped, but if you get away from the larger communities, all stereotypes are gone. It is a trip. I love it here.
Huntsville is metropolis too, with NASA and affiliated industries. Most of the state is like Jasper. I actually like the place, but I can imagine the culture shock moving from California. The new people we hire from the northeast especially end up looking like deer in headlights.

They just changed the rules on this
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/official_rules/start_end_4.jsp
Rule 4.12 (a) (7):
SUSPENDED GAMES.
(a) A game shall become a suspended game that must be completed at a future date if the game is terminated for any of the following reasons:
(7) The game has not become a regulation game (41/2 innings with the home team ahead, or 5 innings with the visiting club ahead or tied).

(8) If a game is suspended before it becomes a regulation game, and is continued prior to another regularly scheduled game, the regularly scheduled game with be limited to seven innings.
Explain?
But this rule seems contradictory
© If a game is called, it is a regulation game:
(1) If five innings have been completed;
(2) If the home team has scored more runs in four or four and a fraction half-innings than the visiting team has scored in five completed half-innings;
(3) If the home team scores one or more runs in its half of the fifth inning to tie the score.
(d) If a regulation game is called with the score tied, it shall become a suspended game. See Rule 4.12.
(e) If a game is called before it has become a regulation game, the umpire shall declare it "No Game."
why does it mean nothing?
We pick up the game where we left off no?

What are your thoughts on Thierry Henry complaining about handballs in the penalty area? This seems like a blatent violation of International law! :-)
J/K….Are you enjoying the WC thus far? I am personally.
My thoughts...
I’m so angry against him because we qualified ofr the WC with an awful play… And I don’t like him beacause his ego is bigger than a pumpkin…
Secondly, I’m not very excited about these matches, some teams played under their levels, especially Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, France, Netherlands, Cameroon, Italy…
But I’m very surprised about the underrated nations like South Korea, Japan, Ghana, USA, North Korea…
The greatest game was Germany vs Australia because Germany was the only favorite team who played at their level and they have some young talent on their own as Ozil, Khedira, Neuer, Podolski, Muller, Badstuber, Lahm…
I hope Spain will play themselves tomorrow…

I wonder what this will mean for the Dodgers rotation choices later in the week. I’m guessing Kuroda is done for today whether they resume or not. If it’s finished tomorrow it’ll probably be a reliever so how much rest will Kuroda need before his next start? Or would they let Kuroda come back tomorrow?

Apparently they haven’t sold out the Dodgers series yet despite being heavily promoted with Red Sox promotions.
Meanwhile the Dodgers are still saying the only way to buy Yankees tickets is via a mini-plan evem though they keep emailing season ticket holders for more individual (and group!) opportunities.

I was thinking the rain out rules went like this:
If it doesnt make it past 5 innings, (or 4.5 with the home team leading) then its no game.
If it makes it past 5 innings, its an official game. However, if the game is tied, then they would suspend it and resume play later on. If someone was winning though, then that team would be deemed the winner.
Have there been any suspended games in the major leagues this year that had not made it past 5 innings, that they ended up resuming?
Only 2 this year that I can find
One that was tied after 9 innings. Rays won on a Burrell homer.
The other in Minnesota, no score after 5 IP .
I am beginning to think you are right. There is some conflicting info out there, but it sounds like the game would get washed away if it’s “called.” That sucks.

Rather the game be called tonight.
Dodgers playing on the wet field? Screw that. Just play tomorrow.
I am still unclear about the suspended game rules
I would rather play than have to have a double header tomorrow or Thursday
Well yeah, I’m assuming the game gets resumes where they left off tomorrow. Obviously, if it restarts tomorrow, I doubt the Dodgers will be happy about that.
nope
the whole thing gets nullified. Welcome to Major League Baseball, where “tradition” rules over common sense…except when it doesn’t.
How about those stories you read when games get completed later in the season, but the stats from the game officially count for when the game started? I remember reading a story about a player getting a RBI for both teams in a game, or some such silliness last year.

Just another one of the many rules of MLB I don’t understand- why not just postpone a game in progress, and pick it up wherever it was at the next time the team meets, instead of just erasing it from record? There are oh-so-many rules that leave me confused, but this is very close to the top of my list.

Great freakin defense though from the Lakers. Seriously amazing.
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
great 1st half, but take nothing for granted. Anyone who does either has a short memory, or was born after 2008.
Speaking of 2008, you’d think that a semi-competent commissioner of baseball would learn from the mistakes of the 2008 World Series, and perhaps put in safeguards to prevent something like that from happening again. But of course, we’d have to have a semi-competent commissioner in the first place, in order for that to happen.
We’re gonna have to accept the fact that unless the umpires plan on keeping everyone around until 10 in the morning, this game’s gonna get called. (The only upside is that they didn’t predict the rain would start until about 10 PM east coast time, so maybe they’ll be wrong again. Unfortunately, the radar seems to suggest otherwise.)

Not exactly analogous, but Selig did go above and beyond to suspend that game (could have been called as a regulation game with the Phillies leading)
by Eric Stephen on Jun 15, 2010 7:24 PM PDT up reply actions
basically waited for the Rays to tie it up
as far as I was concerned, that pretty much cemented my opinion on Selig. It was so clear that the game was going along because and ONLY because it was clearly a crisis, based on what was in the rulebook at the time. I know there was no consensus on what should have been done, but letting the players keep at it for the simple reason that it’d be easier to deal with a tie than a Phillie lead was literally the worst thing he could have done at the time, IMHO. The Phillies were enraged at the time, and rightfully so.
Isn't China working on that?

not sure
but I do vaguely recall some sort of sky-altering device during the Olympics, to make it more blue or something.
Put this one on the Player’s Union. They are dead set against double-headers. Remember when teams had two or three double-headers in their schedule every season? Yeah, back when they thought of the fans. It also freed up a few extra days for make up games.
"A baseball game is nothing but a great slow contraption for getting you to pay attention to the cadence of a summer day."
but wouldn't that actually be the opposite result of what's going to happen now?
now, we’re going to have a doubleheader, instead of merely resuming the game tomorrow, from the point at which it was postponed.
(Of course, this assumes the game will be cancelled, which is far more likely than not right now.)

seriously, as awful as that thought is, it STILL wouldn’t be worse than having a game called with a 3 (or especially 6) to 0 lead, AND knowing we’d have a double header with one of our starters heading to the DL.

Say you do DFA. Who do you replace him with?
Nobody else in the organization is close to helping out the team on the major league level. Unless we trade for a ML player, it does not hurt the Dodgers to let Heager keep on pitching at Triple-A
First of all, you make it sound like he’d be claimed. NO. CHANCE. Let him stay in AAA for all I care. Just get him off the roster.

So I step out of the room for a second
and forget that the Dodgers are about to bat. I hear Eric Collins say, “Jonathan Broxton” and I think “what the shit? How is he in this game? No fucking way.”
And it turns out he was just wishing Brox a happy birthday since it’s after midnight.
uncanny
while you typed this, the Reds announcers had just mentioned how it was Dusty’s birthday, though his was “yesterday”, June 15th. (Mine, too, FWIW, and a good one, thanks mainly to the Dodgers & Lakers. I’m sure Dusty feels differently.)

Casey
I don’t think Casey Blake ever, ever swings at the first pitch. I think I’ve been looking out for it for about 20 games now, so 80 or so PA. Pitchers must know this, it’s almost always a strike. And then he almost always has a great AB, starting behind. He mist really need to get a feel for the pitcher. But he does 2nd and 3rd times up too.
by berkowit28 on Jun 15, 2010 9:27 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Nice observation
among Dodgers with 2 PA/gm this year (the number used by Baseball-Reference to qualify), Blake has the second-lowest 1st-strike swinging percentage at 12% (Carroll is at 7%).

See if he recovers. He was far too good last year to just throw him away this year.

Well, I’m all about value. If he’s projected to make close 6 mil in arb next year, any self respecting organization would get rid of him.
Sure they might non-tender him
but it is June 16th so what does that have to do with non tendering him?
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
I'd be perfectly happy if he refinds himself and pitches well again
starting with this mop up inning.
I don’t expect it, but will be happy if he does since it appears he’s going nowhere this season other than perhaps another phantom DL stint.

OT: I saw the thread above about living in the south.

For any NBA fans in the Dodger group
They should be able to get aboard their charter by 5:30 local time, the flight is 2 hours and 10 minutes, they should be able to be at their hotel by tip-off.
I wonder how many people will show up at Fenway, their game against the D-Backs starts early, 6:10, so fans should be able to go to both.
