Power to all fields
is a nonsensical phrase. There is only one field. He has power to all parts of the field.

Aren't there also three fields?
Left, right and center?
And two fields? In and Out?

I know, I know...
between coaching my kid’s club team, rec ball team, and all-star team, I’ve missed a lot of Dodger games.
Marlon Byrd set it up with the 0 - 2 Walk
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
How does the guy who walked get the credit and not the three guys who got hits?
"A baseball game is nothing but a great slow contraption for getting you to pay attention to the cadence of a summer day."

Just saying down 0 -2 to a guy like thornton is usually a out
but he ended up with a walk. Without the walk McCann doesn’t get the chance.

And without the walk the HR gets them a tie. If you you had to choose between the walk and the HR which would you want.
"A baseball game is nothing but a great slow contraption for getting you to pay attention to the cadence of a summer day."
It actually gets them three outs, learn your folklore

And the same is true of Rolen and Holliday.

I don’t really like any of the movies. I’m hoping that one day the BBC or HBO will do a limited series following the books more closely.

It’s the first HP movie for me where I had already read the book going in. I was disappointed, it just didn’t flow right and seemed rushed despite being longer than the last film. Didn’t help that they cut one of my favorite chapters from the beginning.

I was a little pissed(the boos were all in my face) when Kuo threw that ball away and was even more upset when Ethier was PH for.. but it all worked out. Those Angels fans are complete dicks by the way. If they are not old they are young and docuhey.

Oh and one last thing, there were so many frecking kids with Angel and Giants gear on.. I was completely confused, thought I died and went to hell.

Shaun Garrison from Dodger Rumors
thinks the Dodgers should look into getting Dan Uggla
Thoughts?
by Tommy Blackjack on Jul 14, 2010 7:47 AM PDT reply actions
Yes
as with anything, depends on the price. I guess that line can pretty much be applied to just about anything.
his contention is
that there’s a rumor the Rockies are interested, and they would said Barmes and a prospect. If it costs us Dewitt and a young pitcher, might be something for Ned to think about.
by Tommy Blackjack on Jul 14, 2010 7:54 AM PDT up reply actions
I’m not sure what Uggla’s contract is like, but from a talent perspective, the Dodgers would have to do that trade. Even with his crap defense, Uggla would outhit everybody else in the infield. I assume by young pitcher you mean minor leaguer….
by Michael White on Jul 14, 2010 8:01 AM PDT up reply actions
Marlins
can use Coughlan at 2nd base so I don’t think they would be that interested in DeWitt or Barmes. Since they are playing for the future moving Couglan to 2nd, and putting up the outfield of Stanton/Maybin/Ross is much more likely.
They could use bullpen help and a back end starter.
A blockbuster for Uggla/Nolasco would whet my appetite.
this is true
but maybe put him at third when they trade Cantu.Uggla and Nolasco….hmmmmmmmm(strokes beard).
I know Ricky has got strike outs, but he’s having kind of down year isn’t he? Though I think he’s been good for a few months leading up the break, can someone confirm?

yes I did mean minor leaguer
Uggla is making $7.8 mill on the year, so I don’t know what’s left. Also, maybe the Dodgers could keep BDW and move him back to third.
by Tommy Blackjack on Jul 14, 2010 8:08 AM PDT up reply actions
Uggla would give us a great lineup, but DeWitt really isn’t doing that badly other than not hitting HRs. We should really focus our attention on getting a pitcher.
I got nothing against Dewitt
though I know you’re not saying I do. I just think that if Uggla could potentially come that cheaply, then why not do it? Lock him up for a few years and have a big RH bat in the lineup after Manny’s gone.
