Ethier's batting 2nd?
Huh.
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
Someone learning from their mistakes?
"If it makes sense as a baseball deal, then I’ll do it," Colletti said. "Am I going to pick up an exorbitant salary and give up a fistful of prospects? I wouldn’t do that under any condition."
That’s heartening.
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
The key word in that sentence
is “and.” Had Ned used “or,” you could possibly infer that he would not do a deal which he would use better/more prospects in order to avoid picking up salary. But by using “and,” I don’t see any change in philosophy.
Aha! Good catch. I guess I was thinking from the standpoint that he wouldn’t be so silly to give them the moon AND take on a big contract (e.g. Oswalt).
Hopefully he spends prospects on top tier guys…

So it means were not getting Oswalt..

Not sure if this has already been mentioned in another thread...
and really this isn’t really huge news, but Kyle Smit, who has had a great season so far with the 66ers, has also been promoted to AA. Eric Krebs was sent to Hi-A to make room for Smit
Not the best of starts, VP. We don't want to see Kenley Jansen just yet! ;-)

Reasons apartment living sucks
When you put off doing laundry until it reaches Defcon 4, and you want to do laundry on a Friday night before leaving out of town Saturday morning, your apartment complex closes the laundry room early for no apparent reason.
That sucks
and I totally did Defcon 4 all the time in college. :)
…and now, too. :)

I'd invite you over to my house to do laundry

Starting lineups
Tonight is the second time this year the Dodgers have faced a lineup with four switch-hitters. The other time was also against the Mets, on April 27.
The last time the Dodgers faced more than four switch-hitters was when the Mets had five (tonight’s four, plus Raul Casanova) on May 7, 2008.
The LA Dodger record for most switch-hitters faced is six, set five times: three by the 1985 Cardinals, and two by the 1993 Mets
The LA Dodger record for most switch-hitters in their own lineup is five, set August 10, 2005. The culprits:
Izturis, Bradley, Cruz, Valentin, Navarro
I'm jealous
Of course, this begs the question: what are your favorite toppings?
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
Although I love pepperoni, I’m trying to stay away from fatty meats, so veggies lately (mushrooms, olives, jalapenos, onions).
I will have to try it. Maybe a hybrid Margherita pizza or something

I just had Indian pizza for dinner. Which is super tasty.
And requires a Zantac appetizer.

If I ever have reheated pizza, I have found it works best to put it in the oven with the broiler on for 7-10 minutes

put down some tin foil and throw it in the toaster

Okay ump, as long as Padilla gets that one, too, we're cool.

Strike 3 in the EXACT spot as Ball 2. Understandable Loney didn't swing.

For a moment
I didn’t see the doo rag Reyes was wearing, and thought he had the Mets logo somehow put into his hair, or even better had an appropriate Rasheed Wallace style mark
that has to feel nice to muscle one of those pitches out
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
From an old school traditional standpoint
it is kind of shocking, on July 23, to see
Jason Bay .257 6 44
Why did he go to 2nd? No chance at 1st?
Some tough luck for Padilla so far (minus the home run)

Heh
To be fair the D was great but there were some seeing eye hits they took away, too, not a bunch of balls getting roped around. So the D helped what would’ve been bad luck otherwise.
okay, back to my Indian pizza now. Backatcha later when the Dodgers are winning
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
haha hopefully we can get to santana a bit
a 1-2-3 inning would be a let down after all that commotion
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
well one could argue
if Dewitt makes the play. Then Beltran strikes out to start the 2nd, Davis HR, finally Reyes goes down on the play to Loney. So then its 1-0 Mets.
Did Manuel get tossed for yelling at the ump a 2nd time after he turned back toward the dugout?

I am not saying Padilla has been pitching to great offensive clubs
recently but he really has pitched well since coming back from the DL.
An ERA of 1 in last 5 games or so? Yeah I'd agree.

All this because of the the slightest of slight chances that Belliard gets a hit. And even if he hit a home run we’d still be losing. Leave the best pitcher available in.

Assuming that the bullpen gives up 5 if Belliard gives the Dodgers the lead or that they even bring in the same relievers is flawed logic. Furthermore, the Dodgers were losing, regardless of what your pitching and defense does, you still need a run. It was the right call.
