Eric Karros signs his baseballs, then adds “92 NL ROY” at the top and “LA HR LEADER” on the bottom.
Not saying I wouldn’t do the same; just thought it was interesting.
That is worth a fan shot!
“TrueBlueLA blogger Eric Stephen gets one of his balls signed by Eric Karros!”
I wouldn’t do the ROY for sure, but if I was a franchise (or city portion of a franchise) leader in home runs, I would damn sure milk that for all its worth :)
Me at coffee shop
“Yeah, you know the Dodgers?”
“They play baseball in Los Angeles.”
“Well, they’ve been around for a while, and I just happen to have more home runs than anyone else, you know, ever.”
How many days will Lindsay Lohan actually serve in jail? i.e…be in a cell and have to eat jail food..

Walkoff HR. Nats win 6-5.

If anyone cares about LeBron
He is announcing his decision on ESPN at 6pm on Thursday.
Seems like a college recruit move :)
I would be fired up if he had a bunch of hats on the table and put one on.

Didn't want to get

Will he have a bunch of hats in front of him and fake a couple before putting on the Cavs hat?
Ultimate attention whore / look at me move
I like Lebron but this is a joke.
Is our game Thursday cancelled as a result?
We technically spent it

I bet they would let you sit on the bench for like $300.00.

You know
people criticize Kemp for being arrogant, but I sort of like it if he can use it in a productive way.
Lots of pro players are like that, at least in the sense where it’s like “i don’t care if i’m slumping, i’m still good”. Good to see he’s not gun shy on the bases just because of a poor start.

I'm no batting coach
And I didn’t stay at a Holiday in, but It seems Martin swings very hard and is way out of balance on almost every swing he takes.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man

I know that this isn't mind blowing
but the differences in HR calls from VIn and Chuck Steiner are pretty large.
I know this isn't mind blowing
but air is better to breathe than water
/I <3 you, that’s why I tease-a you so much

Very rarely does Vinny blow a HR call. But, he’s so good that even when he does he’ll find a way to make you think he had it all the way.
Off the bat, Vin knows it's gone
No matter how hard or far it goes, Chuck doesn’t.
That was where I was going.
Agreed 100% on Vin and his ability to rebound and make a great call out of nothing.

The bigger issue is that he probably wasnt paying attention, and it was too late to pick up the flight of the ball.
You guys really think
he is in the OF not paying attention?
Just out there with his hat on the ground putting flowers in it and shit?
you mentioned
“what a day for a day dream”
replying to a post mentioning that he wasn’t paying attention
Oh, sorry, got distracted there …
Think he may not have been 100% focused and lost the ball as it went from the background of the seats, to the lights, to the sky.
Not something we see happpen very often.

Tough to catch what you can't see.
Would also make it tough to give an error to a guy who doesn’t know where the ball is.
Huh, that young guy made a mistake in a game
w/a 5 run lead. Yes, let’s all blow that out of proportion

Glad to see the team is showing some big power with Manny out. I was out buying a couple new shirts, found a good deal on two very nice looking shirts so I can look snazzy, as always ;)

Wow
Lohan’s jail cell looks actually jail like. I was sure she’d get white color resort prison
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!
More like 3 days. No way she sees more than a week, unless they’re forcing Lohan to pay for her jail sentence as well.
I don't understand
she can pay her way out of a jail sentence?
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!
One of the prison reforms being bandied about is that rich prisoners pay for the upkeep of their own prison sentence due to the high cost of maintaining security, etc. So they can actually serve something close to their full sentence without the realities of a cash strapped prison system and over crowded prison from releasing celebrities early.
A couple of years ago, Paris Hilton was perceived to get special treatment. There was a big stink about it.
Part of the backlash is that somebody like Lohan will serve in that kind of facility.
People don't think it be like this, but it do.
From TMZ:
UPDATE: Sheriff’s spokesperson Steve Whitmore just explained … generally, a female inmate in Lindsay’s situation only serves 25% of their sentence … which means LiLo will most likely spend around 23 days behind bars.

Yes. They have to enter with the lead and pitch at least three innings and finish the game . The lead can be 20-0 and it’s still a save.

It would hilarious if Broxton would give up a homer here. In a sort of stabbing your eye sort of way.
Thesis
Whether a pitcher gets a save should be determined by his team’s win expectancy when he comes into the game.
People don't think it be like this, but it do.
what would your cutoff be?

OT: Del Negro to coach the Clippers.
IMO, he needs to be an assistant before he gets another head coaching job. However, this is just like the Clippers to do something like this.

I just think he needs more experience as a coach.
Before he was hired by Chicago, the man had never coached a day in his life.
Bad tactics guy, can’t inspire a room, hilarious hair, doesn’t know how to work the media, got into a fight with his GM and lost pretty badly in the after math.
Del Negro is the anti-Phil Jackson. So he’s also the perfect joke coach for the Clippers.
Paul DePodesta didn't know how to work the media
I don’t remember you holding that against him
by Eric Stephen on Jul 6, 2010 10:25 PM PDT up reply actions
Are the Clippers in the same position as an NFL team like, say, the Raiders? Where guys won’t take the job unless there’s nothing else available and they really really really need the cash?
People don't think it be like this, but it do.
