Bark in the Park Night
is in the all you can eat pavillion. This sounds like a recipe for hilarious disaster
http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/la/ticketing/barkpark.jsp
Man my dogs could not handle that.
Have you ever tried just turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
Can you imagine if a bunch of dogs ran on the field during a game. PETA would be all over that if the dogs got tasered.
That would make me sad
my hilarity was more from the idea of no one being able to eat their food without a dog getting all up in their business.

PRICE:
Human $25: All-You-Can-Eat RF Pavilion ticket that includes unlimited Dodger Dogs, nachos, peanuts, popcorn, Coke products, and water
Dog $25: includes ticket to the RF Pavilion, Dog Goody Bag, and participation in the pup rally and parade
Love that the prices are equal.
How many poop bags will be handed out for the all you can eat dog food?

Poop bags
aren’t going to be able to handle the bowel movements these dogs will have after eating nachos, popcorn and hot dogs

Depends
on whether it’s a black dog or a white dog.

I hate that kid….only cause I know how awesome that feeling is as a home fan to see the walk off.

How much Torre overvalues closers
But Torre also said he expected Broxton to reclaim the closer role.
“Absolutely,” Torre said. "He was the All-Star closer, for crying out loud. He’s the reason the National League will have the home-field advantage

Maybe it’s time we give Torre the fake nuclear codes

Armchair psychologists will feel vindicated
Torre was asked if usage could be a cause of Broxton’s wildness.
“I don’t think so. I think it’s more here,” Torre said, pointing to his head.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Torre thinks he is competent
why would he blame himself when he can balme the player?

That was a solid, unexpected (by Heyward) pitch

Best part of that
is on MLB Netowrk, Tom Verducci was praising Bobby Cox for Heyward 2nd and Gonzalez 3rd because it didn’t put undue pressure on the rookie.
by Eric Stephen on Aug 13, 2010 4:54 PM PDT up reply actions
Of course. I love people in the MSM. I really wonder how they come to believe this kind of shit. I mean, seriously. Does he really think Heyward will cower under the pressure of batting third in a random game in early August? Stupidity just amazes me.

I assume the Dodger OF plays Glaus as a dead pull hitter
so of course Kuroda’s pitch is a low outside strike and Glaus’ hits it to the RCF gap. Great.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Matt Kemp should have run down that fly to the wall anyway though

I always assumed he greases or gels his hair before games though

Kuroda hit 94 on that FB
to Ankiel, who swung through it.

Kuroda did bear down
after that leadoff double, just he was advertised as doing before he got to LA.

"Stop exploding you cowards!!!"
They haven’t talked to him at all. Now they expect him to make a life-changing decision in 48 hours?
I was on a plane once with a player’s mother. She told me they spent weeks agonizing over whether to let him sign out of high school. They had to get input from financial advisers about taxes & investing the money in case his career didn’t pan out; they had to talk to the college that he had committed to…. it just can’t be done in 48 hours.
People don't think it be like this, but it do.
The family knew he could be drafted and could be offered substantial money to sign
They should have been doing that research all along, long before the draft, let alone a contract offer. The scenarios are the same, all that changes are the exact numbers.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
the Dodgers didn’t believe any other player available was worth the slot amount in what experts agree was a thin draft.
…
Another source said McCourt was told before Lee was chosen that he would be criticized, and the owner gave the green light anyway.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
That is interesting.

I still go to 2-3 games a year with my dad(who is also a Dodgers Angels fan, but roots more for the Angels these days, which is more a proximity thing since his favorite player is totally Koufax).

the only angels hat that is semi-cool imo

I hope this game doesn't get rained out
Kuroda’s pitching a hell of a game right now (Hudson too, unfortuantely). Even if we lose I’m just rooting for great numbers from our starting pitchers at the very least, lol.
"Stop exploding you cowards!!!"
Thanks 4down for the Lee news, really made my day
Reading the tea leaves on that article and other stuff, we have a legit shot at Zach.
This would really cheer this season up.
By the way, you should really change your name to IVdown
No problem, I just stumbled upon that while going to get the box score up for the game
Lol, I know. Truthfully, it should be IXDown…but so many changes would need to be made…I think it’s far too late for that, haha.

No reasonable ballot should have him ahead of Halladay or Johnson, AT LEAST. And the ballots are only Top 3. There are 5-10 guys with a better claim to the #3 spot than Hudson, but he will get votes.

Hudson

Cy young top 15 looks close to this right? (not in this order)
he isnt pitching today
it might be Kuo if we somehow score runs
Adam Morrison has more rings than Lebron, Bosh, and Wade combined?
Torre, Kemp & Broxton
I’ve been offline all day so this may have been covered, but I find it perplexing how Torre handled the Broxton closer situation so differently from the Kemp benching situation.
W/Broxton, it sounds like he talked to him and then let people know the situation. With Kemp he stayed quiet and made Kemp come to him. Why the difference? Neither situation is what the player wanted, but at least w/Brox he treated him like an adult and with some respect.
Just scratching my head on this one…any ideas?
my only guess is that
the Kemp situation also has something to do with effort and attitude
not much you can with Broxton, he tried his best, he is either hurt or just has a habit of choking
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
