Dylan Hernandez is hilarious
On the pregame show, Charley Steiner just asked him how he slept last night with a newborn, and Dylan responded (paraphrased):
I slept fine, but my wife was up all night with the baby, plus she was up early to iron my clothes this morning.

Dylan is no A.J. Ellis
Tony Jackson had a little fun during Torre’s pre-game media session, noting that A.J. Ellis missed the birth of his child to stay with the club, while Dylan took a month off.

Ooh ooh ooh
GA is totally gonna be the outfielder to hit the homerun, right??
RIGHT?
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
I’m almost to the point with GA where I’m rooting against him to hasten his departure. Actually, I might be there already.
It goes back to
a player like GA knows his role and isn’t going to make waves about more playing time, Eric has told me that from what he sees he is a good clubhouse guy (which in a 6-month day to day grind is probably more important than we give credit for). A younger player has to be able to know what to do when he isn’t starting, following the game from the bench, anticipating his spots and than getting ready (and all of this is done basically by himself).
Yeah I never understood that
How people will cheer against a player on their team. As long as they are wearing a Dodger uniform, I will cheer for them. Even though they suck.
It depends on what you mean by “cheer.”
There have been players that I just couldn’t bring myself to get excited about when they came up to bat, regardless of the situation. I would NOT actively root for them to fail, of course, but I’d sit on my hands. Julio Lugo, perfect example. I was disappointed by the trade that brought him over, and then, injury added to insult, he didn’t perform well. I sat on my hands, neither cheering nor booing him.

OT NBA stat
And this is what makes Game 1 so important.
Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant, and Derek Fisher are a combined 97-0 when their teams win Game 1 of a best-of-seven series.
Combined seems a bit much
Since a bunch of those are triple counted. Combined, they also have 18 titles ;)

Hey, is John Ely for real? Can he keep up his accuracy throughout the year?
Jerry Crasnick
(12:19 PM)
Crazy Pete, Ely was 14-2 in Double A ball last year, and the scouts say he really knows how to mix it up and adjust on the second and third time through the order. Ely is an upper 80s, crafty kind of guy, so he gives teams a different look from Billingsley, Kershaw and the Dodgers’ power starters. So far, so good.
I see how he didn’t answer the question, unless you want to take his answer as a “maybe.” Which my Spawn coulda told you.

Really?
I thought my VHS copy from the late 80’s early 90’s had it on there.
Copy and paste
When originally released in 1977, the first film was simply titled Star Wars, as the studio (20th Century Fox) forbade Lucas to use a subtitle because it could be confusing, since there had been no other Star Wars movies prior to 1977. 14In addition, it was not certain if the film would be followed with a sequel. Following the release of Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back in 1980, the film was re-released in 1981 with the subtitle “Episode IV: A NEW HOPE” to match its sequel’s crawl. The original version, without the subtitle, was not released until the 2006 limited edition DVDs.
This is different
My understanding is he had a plan for the full series including prequels from the beginning. Like you said above, he didn’t put the subtitle because Fox wouldn’t let him.
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
Maybe
but they retcon’d so much in the prequels that if that were the case, then there was some AMAZINGLY sloppy screenplay writing for the original trilogy.
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
well
The thing is it was probably more an outline of a story from what I remember then a full script. You see this all the time with shows and movies where they change so much from the original script or plot outline. Plus, he went insane sometime in the last 20 years.
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
That's probably true.
I’d be more inclined to believe he really planned it out if the Star Wars universe hadn’t exploded due to books and comic books prior to the release of the prequels. They have to have the canon on lockdown because writers are all over the timeline. So you’d think someone would be like, “Yo, Leia said she remembers her mom vaguely in Jedi. Maybe we shouldn’t have Padme biting it after awkwardly calling out her children’s names as they are born.”
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
books and comics are considered non-cannon
or to be more specific, exist in their own cannon aka the “extended universe”. Lucas basically said FU to the people who wrote and read the books, games, comic books etc.
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
I don't think
that it is too surprising that intra-division games are low scoring throughout baseball. They see these guys so many times and now, players who have been playing for a few years have lots of at bats vs these teams.
Wonder what the score would be if they just put one of those pitching machines where the coach feeds the ball in between the two tires out on the mound instead of having actual pitchers.

I imagine GA would be better if he played full time
I just doubt his ability to be a proper bench player.
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
I'm not sure
I think he has so little left in the tank, that if he played 2 months straight he’d barely be able to walk
I understand the whole veteran
knows his place on the bench, but GA is not exactly a guy like Mark Sweeney who has ever been a bench player. So I call baloney, and get Paul back here where he belongs. We are in a bloody pennant race and Paul does to many things better then GA for him not to be on this team.

Anderson has started one game before today when all three starting OF were active, and only one sub was used.
You don’t think that if Ned came to Joe and said “player X really sucks, lets give him 2 more weeks and if he continues to be an albatross we’ll move on” that Joe wouldn’t be amenable to that?
No, I truthfully don't

I prefer
Option B:
We hit the crap out of the ball
They don’t

Yeah I don’t see what’s wrong with us winning every game 10-1.

…I hope we kick the shit out of those chest-thumping douchebags this weekend.

Pitchers spot due up in the 6th, Monk with 81 pitches.`
I know a lot of Monk’s success still seems to be smoke and mirrors and he has never been stretched too much, but it just doesn’t seem to make a ton of sense to not let him take a stab at the 6th inning.
He had a paper towel wrapped around a pitching finger
so maybe a cut or a blister.
Braves' Jones leaves game with sore finger
Braves’ Jones leaves game with sore finger
1 hr 26 mins ago
ATLANTA – Chipper Jones has left Atlanta’s game against Philadelphia with an injured finger.
The Braves third baseman was replaced by Omar Infante after striking out in the fourth inning. The team said he had inflammation in his right ring finger and was day to day.
The 38-year-old Jones has been plagued by injuries in recent years, though he did play 143 games last season — his most since 2003. He is off to a sluggish start this season, hitting just .240 with three homers and 21 RBIs.
Well..
Along with being chest-thumping douchebags, their fans are the most uneducated, fairweather, bandwagon pieces of shit you’ll come in contact with. They don’t go to the game for baseball, they go to socialize. If you wanna socialize go to a fuckin’ bar.
And as for Bobby Cox, that low-life wife beater wrote the book on choking in postseason.
“Holy shit…where’s the tylenol?” How’s that? :-)
Sounds like you have never been to Dodger Stadium
between the bases.

I've never been to a game at Dodger Stadium. :-(
It’s really hard to make it to a game out there from here. Especially with the way airlines are gouging passengers these days.
never thought the Braves could be a 1st place team
with Chipper sucking. Can’t wait to do the team preview because right now I’m unimpressed with everyone except Heyward.

Somewhere BT is woken from his nap but he has no idea why
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
just got away from the boss 6th inning already? damn
time to go home for a late lunch and the either walk off
If we can't score against Edwin in 11 innings
he deserves the win.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Wow, you're right.
Pretty pathetic, given the kind of season E-Jax has been having. I wonder if everyone is hung over after Kemp’s walk-off last night.
He's actually had some good starts
if you take away two incredibly horrible starts he hasn’t been as bad as people think. The problem is also their pen gives every game away.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Interesting
I don’t see Joe wanting to use Belisario today, Kuo is out, Weaver is a possibility but maybe not.
I would guess Broxton could go and Schicting,
Miller is probably a two inning guy.
Poll Question
If AJ Ellis was a metal, which metal would he be?
Blacker than the blackest black
Totally metal.
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
I don't know my metals
but something that lasts a long time, isn’t very strong but will never break.

Yes
he and his older brother might or maybe already have set the record for most strikeouts in a season for kin. This is not what the scouts expected when they were drooling over BJ and Justin.

Just logged on...
Was Monk as good as his line looks?
Pretty much
Very solid. EJax even better, but Monk was very solid. A few high pitch count at bats did him in about an inning earlier than he would’ve liked but good.

Miller sure likes to tattoo other guys, too

I would like to see this game end 1-0 (Dodgers of course) with neither team getting another hit
and the Dodgers getting a runner on with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th on a dropped 3 strike, getting to 2nd on a steal, then a passed ball, and, of course, a walk-off balk.
Sounds reasonable, right?

Goddamn it, I can’t stand the singing of God Bless America at the seventh innings stretch. It really bugs me!!
http://www.dingersblog.com
I don’t love it, but I don’t get the abject hatred for it either. I could take it or leave it either way I guess.
Pardon me for getting on my soap box here, but baseball and sports in general are enterprising businesses, it makes no more sense to be singing the national anthem before a game than it does to sing it before a concert, a morning meeting, a white water rafting trip. I don’t know why baseball felt it HAD to add God Bless America during the seventh inning stretch, but it’s a misguided attempt to make baseball appear more “American” than other sports. It’s just such transparent bullpucky.

Baseball hasn't added it
who sings it currently? Dodgers, Yankees, ….?
Agree
Save it for the Olympics and special moments like Memorial Days so that when we do sing it, it has meaning. Familiarity breeds contempt.

i wouldn't mind it
if they had people with talent sing the song

Odds that Carroll is starting by the All-Star game?
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Teams are about as likely to score in this inning as any inning against the D-backs
Weird how even their runs allowed are. Most teams have good innings and bad innings.
He seems to have lost that little step
in which he used steal bases and beat out infield hits.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Im not trying to put him down
But hes hit a ton of grounders to the left side of the infield recently.

You’re incorrectly assuming Giants fans are capable of emotions
Let justice be done, though the world perish.
I thought the only
thing that gnats fans felt was envy and a blinding hate.
Who can write something that will make Eric LOL in his meeting?

Weird
You can count the total hits and walks on one hand. I guess if you toss in the HBP that doesn’t work but it’s still strange…
"The Arizona bullpen is busy."
are there any sweeter words for a non DBack fan to hear?

The real game starts next half inning :)

seriously lol
edwin is only at 87 pitches too
by SeanMillerSavior on Jun 2, 2010 2:09 PM PDT up reply actions
Edwin would have to give up 8 straight hits before he gets pulled from this game
Not likely the way the Dodger offense is looking today.
Wow
Connor Jackson should be really embarrassed by taking that strike 3 pitch.
Andre Etheir walk off in the 10th
Unless we decide to somehow make Edwin throw 50 pitches in the 8th
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
I wouldn't put it past the snakes to give it up again
but i’m sticking with the ethier walk off in the 10th.

I'm not a Justin Miller fan.
And I don’t know why.
He's actually a pretty decent hitting pitcher
but I thought he’d struck out a few pitches before on that one in the dirt. Oh well.

Four score and seven years ago
someone somewhere scored a run.
Perhaps the Padres took up the run quota for the NL West on Monday scoring 18 runs.

not a bad idea with the 2 3 4 hitters up in the 9th
