Not So Fast My Friend: Dodgers, Nats Play Waiting Game

Email
PrintAt 10:37 a.m. PDT on Wednesday, the Dodgers announced that their game tonight with the Nationals was postponed, and that the game would be made up as a doubleheader on Thursday, beginning at 10:05 a.m., with the second game starting roughly 30 minutes after the first one ended. The first game was going to be on Prime Ticket, with the second game on KCAL.
Our work here today was done, and apparently it was for the players, too. At 11:48 a.m., Dee Gordon tweeted that he was at Best Buy with Matt Kemp. See, professional ballplayers are just like us!*
*They're not like us
Apparently, both teams agreeing to postpone didn't sit well with MLB. Per Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post:
But MLB stepped in and told the teams to wait and try to play the game. The league did not want possible rain tomorrow to prevent the teams from playing, because the Dodgers will not have a chance to make the game up.
After speaking with former Dodger manager and current MLB executive Joe Torre, Nationals GM announced the game has not been officially rained out.
So now we wait.
The Weather Channel shows anywhere from between 45-100% chance of rain at Nationals Park during the scheduled time for tonight's game. But it was mostly the same last night, and the game was eventually played to completion.
Perhaps Gordon himself summed it up best with this tweet:

If the game does in fact get played, whether it is tonight or Game 1 on Thursday, Dana Eveland will face Chien-Ming Wang.
Eveland and Wang started against one another in Oakland on June 10, 2008. Eveland, then an Athletic, allowed two runs in the first inning on a walk and three singles, but settled down to complete six frames. He walked six batters, which would have been a career high except for the seven walks Eveland issued in his previous start. Wang, then a Yankee, pitched into the eighth inning, allowing one run for his seventh win of the season, but his season would end one start later after injuring his foot while running the bases in Houston.
After that 2008 season, both Eveland and Wang have had their struggles. Eveland has a 6.52 major league ERA in 106 innings during that span, compared to 7.03 for Wang in 81 innings. Both have had a bit of redemption in 2011 though. The 27-year old Eveland pitched relatively well in Triple A, good enough to make the PCL All-Star team, and allowed one run in eight innings in his Dodgers debut last Thursday.
Wang is 2-3 with a 4.19 ERA in seven starts this year for the Nationals. At his peak, the grounder-inducing Wang didn't strikeout many hitters. He won 19 games and finished second in the American League Cy Young balloting in 2006 with 3.14 strikeouts per nine innings. So far this season, Wang is down to 2.09 strikeouts per nine innings, a whopping nine strikeouts in seven starts this year. Wang has not struck out any one of his last 40 batters faced.

I’m shocked that Matt Kemp isn’t going to Best Buy because the part where his laptop connects to the powerchord fell inside the laptop.*
*that was the last time I’ve been inside a Best Buy. After the Geek Squad saved all my data to an external harddrive, I bought a mac.
I’m always shocked that someone under 30 needs a geek squad.

Then you just take the advice of the late, great Eazy E, and “throw it in the gutter, and go buy another.”

That must have been the “powerchord” – probably an E flat major triad, as in Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony and many other works expressing power. Not being able to connect your laptop to the powerchord would have denied you a lot of music, saved and otherwise. You might even have lost all the flat accidentals and brass instruments that play them. E minor is not a valid substitute, that’s for sure.

I really like both David Sedaris and Sarah Vowell audiobooks because they do readings both in person and on shows like “This American Life” so the stories they read are written to heard out loud. (if that makes sense).
Thanks but not only do they read their own
work but I think they write the stories to be heard out loud. Not just a book that is recorded for audio presentation.
Here’s a link with a sample from Sarah –

Dodgers have had a couple players here to throw, but their team coach bus isn’t here, and their clubhouse is closed for now.
and from Dylan Hernandez:
Dodgers game in Washington isn’t officially rained out. But the #Dodgers still haven’t left their team hotel. Still awaiting final word.

It's what you're doin' when you're doin' what you look like you're doin'!
The 4:05 p.m. game started at 4:10 p.m., and Rick Monday especially was perturbed with Strasburg “taking his time” to get in from the bullpen. Never mind the fact that there was rain before the game and even starting the warmup process was affected. Also, Monday’s game started at 10:09 (4 minutes late) with nary a peep.
Monday said “with that bonus he got, he could probably afford a watch,” and kept referring about him being late to the dance, etc. Like it was all Strasburg or something. It was dumb.

Albert Pujols turned down a lot of money this past offseason:
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Cardinals offered Albert Pujols a nine-year contract extension worth about $195 million last offseason.
SI.com’s Jon Heyman reported the figure to be around $210 million. Either way, Pujols and his agent rejected the offer, reportedly seeking something worth over $23 million annually. Baseball’s best hitter is headed to the free agent market this winter and is likely to draw major bids from multiple clubs.

Sellers plays hard, has a litte pop for his size but personally I do not think he is or will be as good as player as IDJ. I don’t know if IDJ has an attitute problem but I think he should have called up to majors. He is better than Velez and IMO Mitchell. I think Mitchell is a waste of roster spot.
Mitchell and IDJ are mutually exclusive of each other since they serve different purposes.
@RB_GScott
you r probably right but IDJ did play some 3rd base this yr. IMO Mitchell should never play 1st base with all the other options we have there. He has played a little OF but with our depth there he shouldn't play there and what is he fourth catcher.

the difference in mpg between a 40mpg car and a 25mpg car is marginal when considering $4 gallons of gas.
by G.Scott on Sep 7, 2011 1:56 PM PDT up reply actions
Because I’m that guy
Assuming a general round trip to work of 50 miles in Losangeles * 22 workdays in a month = 1100 miles a month in workmiles
Weekends should be good for 100 Miles * 4 = 400 Miles
So let us say 1500 Miles a Month
1500/25 = 60 *4.0(gas) = 240 a month in gas
1500/40 = 37.5 *4.0(gas) = 150 a month in gas
So about $90 a month extra for those 15 MPG
For most working people I’d have to agree with Gary.
However if you multiply the amount of gas saved by the world in moving to higher MPG it is priceless.

Top Gear did a thing
apparently not only are the Prius’ not economical to make, but they actually don’t save you all that much on fuel consumption. They said the most important thing is how you drive, not what you drive. If you keep a BMW at around a Prius’ top speed, the BMW is actually more fuel efficient
I think for a Prius (and other hybrid cars) that it matters WHERE you drive, too. It wouldn’t be good for me because I only hit traffic for like, 1/6 of my commute. For someone stuck in lots of traffic, it’s pretty sweet.
I pitched to Matt Kemp, and all I got was this stupid earned run.
the real solution is to use the park and ride train system, but that only works if you work downtown. The real problem is we don’t have an adequate train system
of course
the other thing that has been proven is that if you leave your commute up to someone else, problems will arrise
The train works for my week ends:
Get on the train,
go to the bar
get drunk,
get on the train,
get home.
Somehow Damien had tied out the dollars and cents on this proposal. A lot of is on existing right of way so you’d minimize (though obviously not nearly eliminate) construction costs. But this was also 5 years ago and, ya, I know it wouldn’t happen.

by Michael White on Sep 7, 2011 2:56 PM PDT up reply actions
no very cool
it just conflicts with what I’ve experienced with LA public transit. For example, the express bus on the harbor freeway from San Pedro to downtown, doesn’t go downtown anymore, and only comes every hour. It’ll get you to a transit center where the 110 meets the 91, where you have to transfer to the silver line bus.
Silver line is actually fairly useful, but you have to pay double fare to get on. For me to take the bus to LMU was local bus to harbor bus to silver line to green line to santa monica bus on lincoln. Fare was steep, since it’s three different transit agencies
they don’t do day passes? I would buy an all day pass and could get from my house to say, El Segundo and back on that…that’s like…four different lines. And it was sweet.
I pitched to Matt Kemp, and all I got was this stupid earned run.
they do, but getting one a day, five days a week, is way pricier than one LA bus pass, if they were all on the same system. It is cheeper than an LA pass, a SM pass, and a Torrance pass, however
Yea, a Hybrid makes sense for city driving…once you are on the freeway…

Speaking of gas
I went to a convenience store in Tucson today to pump gas into my 1996 work truck that gets 25mpg. I looked at the pump and the regular unleaded price was $2.25 per gallon. The other grades were 3$ + so it had to be a major malfunction. I bought 11 gallons for $26, called my wife and she filled up also.
I felt guilty after for the poor stooge that set the price and probably got canned, but the little devil on my shoulder rationalized he was probably a Giants fan or Carlos Ruiz’ long lost cousin or Jamie McCourt’s next pool boy so tough toenails as I ride off into the sunset.

you r probably right but IDJ did play some 3rd base this yr. IMO Mitchell should never play 1st base with all the other options we have there. He has played a little OF but with our depth there he shouldn’t play there and what is he fourth catcher. Instead of playing Mitchell at 3rd, I would use either Sellers or IDJ to see if they could fill Miles/Carroll roles
With Sands on the team Mitchell should never play 1st base and why Sands was not here for Monday’s game is something that Ned will not be able to answer with any semblence of intelligence.
That said, I’d really like for you to explain how IDJ is any better of a prospect then Russ Mitchell?
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Mitchell is 26, other than last yr has never hit above 300 in minors. Over last two years he is 11 for 74 in the majors IDJ does not have the pop but has hit over 300 I think 3 yrs and has always been considered by experts as a higher raqted prospect

Makes sense they'd try to get the game in if the weather is giving them an opening
Especially since forecast for tomorrow is just as iffy as far as I can tell so the DH would have possibly delays throughout. Which would be bad news for the Dodgers who have to travel back to the west coast tomorrow night/
So basically even though DHs are rare and fun, this is probably good news.

Does this qualify as hipster beer?
From Darren Rovell:
Cubs say new deal ensures that Old Style will be at games thru 2013 season. Beer has been served at Wrigley since 1950.
My ruling
in order to be hipster beer there would have had to been at least a 10 year gap when it wasn’t served at the stadium and then brought back because it was retro, even if it tasted like metalic piss

shoot my wife tells me
we where in a relationship before we ever went on a proper date. My memory, she is not so good, so I just nod and smile.
The goal is obvious part is really funny to me
Anything that is considered a date I’d rather pay for both of us, but I’m told I give too much and that includes the girl i’m dating. Thus she wants to pay for the drinks.

I did OK on my trip to Mammoth Lakes (just back last night). Aside from the friendly wine person on the meal I reported on earlier (where he gave me numerous excellent recommendations and then that glass of Australian port on the house), the next night I went somewhere with a very good, and expensive, wine list, and discovered, on the regular list, totally unnoticed it seems, a half-bottle of Leoville Las Cases (a “super second” that can go for more, and in some years be as good as, or better than, the super famous Premieres Crus bordeaux you’ve heard of) 1999 for $43! I think it must have just sat there for 8 years with nobody buying any, and the price never being revised. OK, it’s not the very greatest year, but it’s pretty good. And it was! Then my last night, I went to a very good restaurant (best there, I think), had a nice pinot, and then discovered this fabulous Armagnac to finish with. (Actually this place had two, which is sort of amazing. The one I had was finer than any I’ve had before, and very reasonable.)
Yeah! I’ve sometimes been lucky this way. On my first trip to Napa, the first time I couldn’t get into the French Laundry, I went instead to what was then considered the second or third best place (La Toque). I noticed an interesting party at the next table, with one man doing a lot of expounding. I got into some conversation with the head waitress on the food and the wine, only for her to tell me a little later that the man at the next table was the manager of Opus One, and he was offering me some wine! (He approached me, said “Any friend of Julia” [the head waitress] “is a friend of mine” and offered me my choice of either Opus One ‘95 or ’97 – a LARGE glass. Then he gave me his card to use for a free tasting at Opus One, where I wasn’t even planning to go, as it cost $75 rather than the $6 or so at other wineries. It was great. I even bought a bottle there, which I haven’t opened yet.
Almost worth missing the French Laundry for. Actually it WAS worth it…

Even as the specific sense of tastes slip away into memory, I find it easy to hold on to the senses of excitement and anticipation that lasted through the night. When it was over, I was fully satiated and satisfied and happy, happy, happy.

For those who don't know
The French Laundry is a restaurant in Yountville, CA (near but not in Napa).
Which menu, the one with the “oysters” or caviar? Both sound great.
HOW did you get a table at the French Laundry?? I tried for several years where you have to phone exactly 2 months, to the day, before the date you want, and could never, ever get through until they were full up, again. I even went there in person, once, staying down the road. No good. Do you have connections? Or did you stay at that hotel where thay have one table at FL? (Even that must be a lottery as probably half or more of the hotel guests want that one table.)
Or WHAT? Please tell.
I feel like an ignorant peasant the way you all going on about this place.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Well
with tax and tip without wine (which would not/should not happen), for two, it would be around 7 Ben Franklins. Wine, tax, tip could kick it up to a G. Which is probably what you want to consider if you are going to go there.
I think they have hundreds of people lining up to apprentice there, for no pay, all the time. That needs connections too. Then you probably have to work there peeling carrots for no pay for a year to get offered a job at minimal pay, if you’re one of the best at peeling carrots plus somehow show talent in spite of little opportunity, plus catch the boss’s eye one of the days he’s there at not at hos NY restaurant r doing other business. To be a waiter, you probably have to train somewhere first, then get a waiters job at one or three top restaurants and come recommended.
So – very hard.

Good news coming out the NBA negotiations. Met for 5 hours today. Chris Sheriden predicting no games are missed.
Does anybody want to make my picks every week for my football work pool? I will give you half if we win. I got talked into it and i really dont want to spend time on it.
For me it means making the weekly picks win or lose
and then picking five tie breaker games by assigning a value of 1 – 5 for the five games chosen. You have to use each number. In the case of a tie, say three teams have 11 winners, then whoever has the most tie breaker points wins the week.
The cost is $100
The payout is $100 per week,
the other $1600 is split among the top three teams for the final cumulative standings. We usually have 32 teams but for the first time since 1985 we did not run the league in 2010 but we are doing it again. I’m not sure our total number this year.
Anyway I’d front the fee if you would make the picks. If interested let me know and I’ll send you my team handle and password.

Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Keeping with the college football theme
Is the ACC the other conference that dies in all this talk of super-conferences?
Miami may well get the death penalty and either FSU or Georgia Tech will end up in the SEC. If cooler heads prevail, Virginia Tech and Boston College make sense to go back to the Big East (assumign the Big East will split between football and non-football schools for other sports which is no gimmie.)
