Gibbons Gets New Contacts; Contact Next?

After their one day off of the spring, the Dodgers are back in action today against the Diamondbacks at Camelback Ranch. Jay Gibbons had his eyes checked in San Francisco, got new contacts, and is back in action today. "It was night and day from the time I put them in," he told Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times. Gibbons last played on Sunday in Las Vegas against the Cubs, and has two hits in 22 at-bats this spring.

The first thing Gibbons will see today with his undeterred vision is a green uniform and cap, which the Dodgers are wearing today, on St. Patrick's Day. Let it be noted that David Young and I are both wearing green shirts today in the press box.

Lineups

Something fun to do while watching the games

This is fun formula to use when watching the games – From Bill James
Take the number of points one team is ahead.
Subtract three.
Add a half-point if the team that is ahead has the ball, and subtract a half-point if the other team has the ball. (Numbers less than zero become zero.)
Square that.
If the result is greater than the number of seconds left in the game, the lead is safe.

And Bill says once the lead is safe, the lead is safe

sounds like now

they are going to keep Feliz at closer for another year. There are many closers on the market in 2012 so they could sign one then and move Feliz to the rotation. Fangraphs says a decent reliever could nab Davis.

Kim Ng on the gender gap in baseball jobs. I read it quickly; will have to re-read and digest later.

Would it be in poor taste to

Say that this win was brought to you by the Luck O’ The Irish?
Mac the 9th 2 BB 1 HBP and a line out DP.

Ah, technology!

Baseball is a game, and games are supposed to be fun.

Jerry Sands and Justin Sellers reassigned to minor-league camp per Gurnick’s tweet (from the clubhouse, I assume – Eric went there and I am still up in the press box.

No surprises there really

Sands has looked great though and I bet he gets a shot later in the season.

Man, I had a feeling about Wofford, but then I said, nah, Rimjob is too good.

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

Too easy but

TWSS

We'll go to the judges

What do you say to a TWSS on a nickname that is specifically designed to be inflammatory?

I don’t think that Rimjobs are supossed to inflame anything.

Ooh! I actually picked Belmont! Go….. (checks Wikipedia… Bruins? Really? Okay.) Go Bruins!

Noted without comment

Anderson of BYU called for a technical. The coach is screaming at him, “What did you say?”

Whats the rationale for using Charles Barkley for these college games?

by Joey Joe on Mar 17, 2011 5:36 PM PDT reply actions  

No idea

He’s totally clueless about most of the teams and players. Really bad.

Wow, I really, really hate Billy Donovan and the Gators now.

Not because they’re beating up on my Gauchos, as I sorta expected. But because he leaves his starters in late, up 30+ points. And some of them take 3 point shots up by that margin late. And for his and their general all around prickishness.

I’m so mad I think I even temporarily hate Tim Tebow.

I originally picked Florida to win it all, read up a little (which I never, ever do) and changed to Ohio State. We’ll see if I should have stuck with my gut.

I have to say they looked very impressive

I wouldn’t be surprised to see them in final 4 at least. But Ohio State still a safer bet.
