Who is that throwing out the first pitch?

It looks like Demi Moore, but I can’t tell. I am sure its a lady though…. :)

Josh Wall

He threw a complete game shutout tonight in Great Lakes. 6 K’s, 3 Walks, 3 Hits. It would be something if he could resurrect his prospect status, but he needs a promotion to Double A. At 23, even doing well in high A wouldn’t mean that much.

A little more on Belisario

But it doesn’t really shed more light. From Tony Jackson:

The agent for Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario used the word “anxiety” when asked on Wednesday why the right-hander had suddenly, inexplicably been placed on the restricted list by the team for the second time this year, a move the Dodgers announced as being for personal reasons.

Paul Kinzer, Belisario’s Atlanta-based agent, wouldn’t elaborate beyond that.

“It’s just some personal problems, and he’s got some things he’s got to work through,” Kinzer said. “It’s just a lot of anxiety, and that is about all I want to say right now.”
SNIP
Kinzer also said that Belisario was still in Los Angeles, but indicated the pitcher might be heading home to Venezuela at some point.

“Right now, he is [still in town], but we will have to see how things work out later,” Kinzer said. “Obviously, his family is in Venezuela. But we haven’t set up [any travel].”

The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.

by David Young on Jul 7, 2010 7:25 PM PDT reply actions  

Could be something going on with his family back in Venezuela

or just having anxiety/panic issues. Just have to hope for the best for him and hope he can work ’em out soon.

That sounds like anxiety over a specific situation, rather than psychiatric anxiety.

“CSNNE.com’s Sean McAdam checked on the status of Boston’s interest in Lee earlier today, and heard that the asking price was too high (Twitter links). Seattle wants a “stud catcher” close to the bigs, which the Red Sox simply don’t have."

They can have our current MLB catcher. The money matches up and everything.

Little known fact about Garrett Anderson

Twenty Years ago he met with an elf named Liovella in some mystical woods near a German settlement. This elf charged him with guarding an energy crystal which many of the elders believed could cause magical events to turn on a simple thought of whomever possessed it. While the crystal was at its peak, it could command the messengers of the heavens, causing unholy events to unfold. But so much use of the crystal drained it of its power. Joe Torre, while on a quest to the hilltops of New Amsterdam found a scroll which is reputed to contain the secret to recharging the crystal’s V-energy, but the only thing they’ve been able to decipher is that Garrett must play in some form every day, or the crystal will cause him to implode.

If you read all that, you now know that Joe Torre plays Anderson, because his very life is at stake.

That was almost the most valuable thing he's done all season. Sadly.

There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.

I just saw the replay of that. At least he made a wily veteran attempt to f—- with him there.

Well

If not for that homer in the 2nd this would have been an interesting pitchers duel. But this 4-0 stuff coupled with fail after fail is making it a bit of a snooze for me

That reminds me of some of my fellow Blazer fans in 1992: “If it weren’t for Jordan…”

The maligned Kuroda sure did settle down after one bad inning. 7 innings is a present

given what we expected earlier on.

Yeah

If nothing else no blown bullpen in the loss. Be nice to see Johnson get tired but probably not going to happen at this point. Never know though with a 3rd of the game left for LA
