"If your Mr. October, I'm Mr. Spring, Summer and Winter!" - Tommy Lasorda to Reggie Jackson
It is odd that Ned Colletti has been GM since 2006.
Not exactly a man you would think would provide long term stability.
Generally Speaking
Since Ned Colletti became the Dodgers’ General Manager in 2006, Los Angeles has posted a 391-334 record (.539), the second-best winning percentage among all National League teams behind only Philadelphia (.553).

Why not
He’s basically worked for two organizations before and no matter how much or how little you believe he is impacted the on-the-field talent, he’s been the most successful GM since really Campanis.

But
The Giant’s don’t have Bonds.
Life isn’t fair, perhaps if Dan Evans had stayed, the Dodgers would be basically in the same place, maybe even had advanced one step further.
But that didn’t happen, Evans is now an agent and Ned has an unknown extension (some say 5 years) to be the GM of the Dodgers.

Steve Phillips has taken the Mets to the 2000 World Series. That doesn’t mean he’s considered a good GM. His reputation and status can be independent of team success.
For example, to make an oft repeated joke.
It was the strength of Jack Z that made Seattle the 6th best organization in the majors coming into this year.
More seriously, Billy Beane is still seen as competent despite multiple years of teams playing below .500, Mike Shananahan was still looked as great despite missing multiple seasons of not winning a playoff game.
My point was really that if Evan’s 92 and 85 win teams made the playoff like Ned’s have, he’d been seen as a success instead of the guy who’s plan to improve the worst offense in recent memory was Juan Encarnacion.

I saw that Randall Cunningham was a trending topic on Twitter, and I wondered why. Now I wish I hadn’t clicked through. :(
Oh man, that is awful
My cousin almost died in a hot tub, and he’s a big dude. The filter was at the bottom and it sucked onto his stomach (he was messing around, swimming down there) and he literally could not wrench free. People thought he was just kidding around down there, flailing and what not, finally with one last heave he pulled himself free and the filter with him, it broke the GD tub.
Those things can be dangerous.

TOTAL HORSESHIT! its so freakin expensive
people that say pacbell is better than DS are insane. It may be newer but holy crap 25bux for shitty shitty seats.
Its interesting
Marrioti on 710 was actually complaining how so many of the “new” stadiums that HOK builds now all start to look the same, so we are back where we were 20 years ago. So now players can’t tell if they are in Philly, or Pittsburgh, Cincinnati or Minneapolis, the stands, the banner ads, the architecture, all the same.
WHAMMY!
You lost me at Marrioti
If he think the SF Bay looks exactly like downtown Pittsburgh then he has issues

by Josie Becker on Jun 30, 2010 1:07 PM PDT up reply actions
I think he acknowledged that SF was unique
Because of the bay, but that was his point. Most of the other stadiums are in non-descript areas, because its too expensive downtown. But DS is in Chavez ravine, no mistaking that.
WHAMMY!
There's a big yellow bridge in Pitt
kind of a giveaway. I think the best way to look at it is this, there was a time you could see the Oakland hills when in the Coliseum, now it’s stands in the outfield. In the cookie cutter stadiums, no matter where you were, all you saw is concrete. Yes these new stadiums are built to a template, but at least they’re being built so that you can see where you are.
The ads are the same because MLB negotiates as a whole now, so now more Always Buy Chesterfields type ads. But the architecture? Tell me Safeco Park has the same architecture as PNC, or that Petco looks anything like Minute Maid.

I've noticed this on CBS, too
On the CBS Sports page, they have this graph that shows which team pages have the most fans. The Dodgers aren’t even in the top 15 or whatever they show. I asked them once if it was possible to see just how many fans we have, and they blew me off. I find it discouraging that the Reds and Indians have more fans than we do.

Surprisingly easy, actually. The only thing that really sucked (aside from the guy not being able to get the jewelery in my ear, that was special) was that when that part of your ear swells, it feels exactly like an inner ear infection.

Would you prefer me to tweet about the Giants’ awesome lineup? RT @GIANThomer Dude someone obviously peed ur cup. Now STFU abt it.
That one of those Giants douchey tweeters put Kemp together with Manny
in the “doesn’t try” department should tick anyone off. Talk about STFU.

Sadly, Our softball team can only field 8 guys tonight. I will be playing the always fun P/2B position tonight.

That sounds amazing
how exactly does that work?
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
when we have eight in our league
we just play no catcher. Other team provides the catcher, but if there is a play at home the pitcher or 1B needs to cover the plate.
Yea, I wish they would do that in our league, but you need to field your own team completely.
by robotmadeofnails on Jun 30, 2010 1:58 PM PDT up reply actions
Why can't you be your own catcher then?
If the pitch is taken, stroll up to home and pick the ball up.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
At times
when I played 1B, I would also cover catcher on plays at home because I was better at blocking the plate

After about five pitches
Everyone would tire of it and everyone would agree to allow the ump to throw taken pitches back to you.

Only if the other team would allow it
by robotmadeofnails on Jun 30, 2010 2:05 PM PDT up reply actions
do they check IDs? Ours doesn’t. Everyone grabs non rostered players for emergencies. They are usually not that good and as long as there isn’t an obvious ringer everyone is fine with it. I’d rather play a team with a few non rostered players than receive a forfeit or play against a team with only 3 infielders.
No, we can add “pickup players” but it is normally only allowed to bring you to the minimum 8. It would be completely up to the opposing team to allow us to pick any one up past the 8 person mark.
by robotmadeofnails on Jun 30, 2010 2:11 PM PDT up reply actions
or better yet...
pitch the ball and then charge the plate no matter if the hitter swings or not. Probably best to charge the plate while screaming and flailing your arms. Make sure your life insurance policy is up to date first.
While you're at it
throw on a catcher’s mask while you’re on the mound. I don’t think there’s a rule against that, right?
Exactly…Pitch and take 3-4 steps back towards second to catch the opposite hits. I will watch the feet of the hitter and adjust accordingly and I will make sure my cup is secure.

We can do subs if we have less than 8 and the other team approves. We are past the point of adding to our roster…so out of 15 possible players, I could only get 8 for today. Good news is we should get a lot of ab’s

The classic eephus pitch
is a lob thrown straight up and down, sort of like a slow-pitch softball arc. Padilla’s is more like a ridiculously slow curve, because he does get a lot of right-to-left break on it. It needs it’s own nickname.
