Dodgers, Nats Postponed...Again

PrintRemember earlier Wednesday, when we all thought tonight's game between the Dodgers and Nationals was postponed? Then the game was back on again? Well, it has been postponed again.
The two teams will play a doubleheader on Thursday beginning at 10:05 a.m. PDT. Dana Eveland and Chien-Ming Wang will start Game 1, followed by Chad Billingsley and Ross Detwiler in Game 2. Weather permitting, of course.
Once again we turn to shortstop Dee Gordon to aptly summarize the day:
Game off, psyke! Game on psyke again!! Ok game back off lol!!! What a day
Apparently I've been spelling psyke wrong my whole life!
But more importantly, with the rest of the night without baseball, let us turn to former Dodgers radio affiliate KFI 640 AM, who delivers only the hardest-hitting news stories:
#1 single of 20th century, according to Nielsen SoundScan, is Don’t Stop Believing by Journey.
Science confirms what we've known all along.

I hope Kerry Collins eliminates delias in week 1
by Michael White on Sep 7, 2011 4:00 PM PDT up reply actions
Kerry Collins won't matter
time of possession will be 3:1 in the texans favor as Tate gives them an encore of Fosters 2010 week one performance
Complete hypothetical: if Kerry Collins starts 16 games and the Colts go 12-4, would that be more or less personally satisfying than Zach Randolph’s run this past season?
Less.
I’ll always have the 2000 season and the 41-0 game with Kerry (and he was actually better in 2002.) This season for Z-bo was the biggest FU to all the haters. Kerry had a bit of success in his prime but now he’s basically retired. Zach’s 2 years in Memphis (in the prime of his career) elevated him publicly to the level I always claimed he was.

Thanks. It was a great story.
I thought I still had a few minutes to go there, not realizing this post had gone up already. I’m sort of hoping HJ got to see it, or will go back (it followed his notice of my previous comment about my Mammoth food/drink) to take a look. HJ, if you never saw it, go take a look, or I can repeat it here, I guess, on request.

Grain of salt here
but from Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo:
got this confirmed today from people who know-guaranteed,next year,mlb will add an additional wild card team. 1 game shoot-out.doggie knows.
Knew Bud wasn’t gonna react to the last month and a half of the season being pointless well.
Minor League Central @mlcentral @andrewngrant
At least the ones that don’t get bumped out of the wild card.
Minor League Central @mlcentral @andrewngrant
terrible idea
if they want to add more playoff team they should go the NBA way or nothing IMO.
Yep. 5 game playoff series, no off days during series, test the rotations. Otherwise, I like it how it is.
@RB_GScott
Though I know if the Dodgers are in a 1 game playoff with the other Wild Card team, I’ll be watching every pitch, so there’s that.
@RB_GScott
1 game series are obviously more exciting
However in baseball it is not rare that the other team can steal a game out of you, pirates could face the philies, win one game and it wouldn’t be so rare, 1 game seems like a flip of a coin and after a 162 games going home because of that….

Each local franchise lost a former player today.
Former Kings forward Pavol Demitra and former Ducks defenseman Ruslan Salei were among 43 people killed when a plane carrying a Russian hockey league team crashed shortly after takeoff on Wednesday, Russian officials have confirmed.

I think we should do a TBLA NFL Elimination Contest
Let me know if I’m doing this right:
1. Pick one team who you think will not lose
2. You may not pick the same team twice for the whole year
Does that sum these things up?

If we did it
I would take Houston, because this is the only game I would have faith in them to win. They are too unpredictable otherwise. They will get to 11 wins, I just have no idea which games they will or won’t win.

Corbin Bowl in Tarzana rents lanes for $35 per hour, or $6 per game and $4 for shoe rentals. Their website also has a 50% off coupon you can print out and bring with you. Would people prefer it be further East than that, or can I write up the fanpost?

Matt Kemp, still trying to set a new career high in unintentional walks
2008: 40 unintentional walks (46 walks, 6 intentional walks)
2009: 46 (52, 6)
2010: 49 (53, 4)
2011: 47 (70, 23)
Eddie Stanky had 145 walks in 1945.
The LA Dodger record is 110 walks, by Jimmy Wynn in 1975.
Trivia: name the other 3 LA Dodgers to walk 100 times in one season (Wynn did it twice, in his two years in LA, in 1974-75)
He is one
The last one, with 101 walks in both 1999 and 2000. The other two only reached 100 BB once as a Dodger.

Sorry I missed the French Laundry thread
A co-worker once made reservations there a few years ago. He and his partner were all excited about it but were worried about all the money they would be spending, so they decided to reserve a space at a campground instead of getting a hotel room. When they got to the campground they discovered it was a nudist camp.

Wow. Here’s one not quite that good, I’m afraid, but your story reminded me of it. I mentioned earlier that I had eaten at a restaurant in France equivalent to the French Laundry. This was many years ago, and the restaurant was the one belonging to Michel Guérard, co-inventor of the so-called “nouvelle cuisine”. (That was some 15 or so years earlier. He had by now come around a bit to classical French cuisine, where the “nouvelle” bit was more a style or influence rather than an overdone fad.) I compare it to French Laundry because not only did it have the requisite 3 Michelin stars, but in the even more influential Gault-Millau Guide, which was usually ahead of Michelin by about 2 years, and marks out of 20, where 17 = 1 star, 18 = 2 stars, and 19 = 3 stars, this restaurant was one of just two in France, I think that had the highest grade of 19.5. Unlike many other famous French chefs, Guérard’s restaurant was not in Paris, or Lyons, or even a city at all. It was in the middle of nowhere, in a tiny village in southwest France. For once, it truly required, not just merited, the Michelin definition of a three star restaurant “worth the detour”. That is was. This is how I was able to make a reservation, a month or more before I left for vacation in France, by car. (I lived then in England.) I think this was the vacation where I turned my lumbering, English left-hand drive Renault 16, from a one-way street the wrong way into two-way traffic after my first night in Rheims, and hit someone taking their driving test. But I digress.
Anyway, this restaurant of Guérard’s was sort of all by itself out in the countryside, looking like the sort of magic palace that Disneyland tries to imitate. It also doubled as a hotel but, like your friend, I was afraid that I was going to be spending so much money on the meal for my girlfriend and myself (I remember that the menu alone cost 50 francs, about $8 then, to take away as a souvenir) that I couldn’t afford to stay in this deluxe hotel. So I booked a tiny hotel in a nearby town about 10 kilometers away. This place was really cheap, in all ways you can think of. But it made the restaurant visit negotiable, so was worth it.
After returning from this fantastic meal in fantasy-land (I still recall that the piece de resistance was Lobster “aux 4 humeurs”, 4 different sauces) we wended our way back to the hotel, suitably satisfied and sozzled. The next thing I knew, car horns were blowing their heads off outside my window, somebody was banging with full force on our room, the phone was ringing. I groggily got up to find the hotel desk guy, accompanied by a policeman, outside my door. Apparently the empty parking lot where I had parked at 1 AM the previous night after returning from the meal was in fact the town square where the farmers’ market took place every morning, or that weekday, starting at around 5 AM, and there I was in the way. A rude awakening, to say the least. i scrambled downstairs not fully dressed, I think still in my bathrobe (but NOT nudist, I hasten to add), and if I remember rightly, shoeless, to move the car. Still well worth it.
This one is awfully long – apologies.

Mariano Duncan 9
Matt Cain
who will be 27 entering his last year under contract puts the Giants in an interesting position. Cain is set to earn $15M next year so he and Lincecum will make over $30M (not counting Zito’s contract). Short of another extension, there will be some risk for the Giants to offer arbitration to Cain since the likelihood of Cain getting that much money per year is not guaranteed.
With the terrible support he's gotten there over the years and again this year, I wouldn't blame him if he tries to get out at some point.

If I already have a ticket for tomorrow’s day game does that mean I get bonus baseball or are they gonna shoo me out?
traditionally
if you had a ticket for today’s game, you get both, but if you have just a ticket for tomorrow’s game you only can go to the second part
From the story on the National's home page.
All tickets for tonight’s game must be exchanged at the Nationals Park Box Office for seats of equal or lesser value for Thursday’s doubleheader or any remaining home game during the 2011 regular season. Tickets for tomorrow’s 1:05 p.m. game will be valid for both games of the doubleheader.
If Dodgers manage to win both tomorrow
probably a big IF but you never know, they would gain a game and a half on the Giants very quickly and be 4 games out heading into that weekend series.
WGS.

I am trying to figure
out, what the heck happened to Brandon Belt?
BTW – I do think Kershaw will pitch on Friday since I think they will have Bills pitch first tomorrow and then have Johnny All-staff for the second game.
Again, I wonder with the game(s) probably going into the early evening, will Kershaw fly out tomorrow morning and get into SF by noon or so?
Well it could be a long day for all concerned
I just think the Dodgers will want to keep Bills on schedule.
However for those going to the 9/13 game against the D-Backs, I would be ready for Elymania.
Yeah, I expect Bills to start game 1 so he can start on schedule, and Eveland to start whenever it is Game 2 starts.
@RB_GScott
Have there yet been any hints that recent callups will be used oin either game tomorrow? If not, there will be an awful lot of very tired players for Friday’s game after a cross-country flight 4-5 hours later than originally planned.
If they do plan on callups, they probably won’t have wanted to fly them out to Washington for on e day (and we’d have heard by now) but rather Friday in SF. (My guess is that they were planning on waiting until the homestand begins on Monday, but just possibly the DH tomorrow might bring the schedule forward to Friday.)
Either way, that means very tired players and/or a few callups for Kershaw’s game. He’s not getting an easy rider to the CY, is he?
I don't think there will be anymore call ups until the team
gets back to LA since the only active team where they might call up someone is Chattanooga and their playoffs can’t end until at least Saturday (though you hope for the kids they can win and go to the finals).
Kershaw’s next 3 scheduled starts are against the Giants, D-Backs and Giants. For the first two starts, he will probably have a majority of the regular lineup since those teams are in contention. By the 20th, the Giants could be out though they could be hanging on.
The lack of reserves won’t make that much difference in Clayton’s quest for the CYA.
Thanks, I do think it will be Bills + Dana tomorrow and Kershaw on schedule for Friday
and yes I bet he flies to SF earlier tomorrow. I will see if he’s free for dinner.
Friend of mine is looking to get us a coupla tix for Friday.

Yeah your right. It’s no big deal though. I’ll make sure I get my money’s worth by eating a ton of food. I just bought my ticket for $13 bucks plus $5 for service fee. So I’d say I’m still getting a good deal.

Heh, @bigleaguestew just linked to this video of Mat Latos almost getting thrown out at first by Francoeur in ’09
Which is apparently because Francoeur did it today to a rookie on the A’s.
Though this was only the fifth such putout in AL history since 1974 — the farthest these types of records go back — it’s a little more common in the National League, where plodding pitchers often dawdle on their way to first base. There have been 31 9-3 putouts in the NL since ’74.
DBacks up 5-3 in Denver, late.
If it holds they will be back to 7 games up and Giants can have a proverbial fork stuck in them this weekend by the boys in blue. Make it so.

Rakes
Seeing a rake reminds me of one of my favorite Simpson moments
I bet you know what I’m talking about..
Angels win, huge hit by Mighty Maicer as the they score 3 in the 8th to win 3 – 1 and pick up a full game on the Texans
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
remember watching the Nats walk Bobby Wilson to pitch to Maicier earlier this year
suffice to say, it blew up in their faces.
Dodgers Elimination Number
is 9 in both the N.L West and Wild Card.
When does the schedule come out for next year?
Do the Dodgers travel to either Toronto or Cleveland?
The only two matchups that haven't happened
Rays at Dodgers
Dodgers at Yankees
It would make sense for them to finally pull the trigger here.
Probably in the next week or so
The 2011 scheduled was released on September 14 (2010 season over October 3)
The 2010 schedule was released on September 15 (2009 season over October 4)
This season ends September 28.

I think (but haven’t confirmed) that the Dodgers will go to Oakland and Seattle in interleague play next year. Not sure of the other interleague opponents.

Seattle is a great place to see a game.

Safeco Field, and the surrounding area, is pretty awesome.

Will someone tell Dee Gordon to go to bed already!
He’s still tweeting. Doesn’t he have a game in 12 hours?
