Here are your Dodgers links for a Friday.
- Andre Ethier, along with general manager Ned Colletti, trainer Stan Conte, and team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache, decided to end his season on Thursday to seek treatment on his right knee, reported Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times. "That's the reason we're doing this right now — to figure out how to get back to the old mechanics," Ethier said. "Once I strengthen that, then we could be back where we need to be."
- Mike Petriello of Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness took notice of Dee Gordon's recent hot streak.
- I completely overlooked this yesterday, but after Wednesday's game in Washington was postponed, both Clayton Kershaw and Ted Lilly took a tour of the United States Treasury.
- Jon Weisman at Dodger Thoughts passed along the Variety review of the 'Moneyball' movie.
- Weisman also sees some similarities between the 1979 Dodgers and this year's squad.
- Over at Baseball Nation, Al Yellon explored the consequences if an MLB team were to suffer a disaster.
- One of Frank McCourt's attorneys called the $1.2 billion bid to buy the Dodgers from Bill Burke a 'publicity stunt.' Bill Shaikin of the LA Times has the details.
- The Double A Chattanooga Lookouts lost Game 1 of their Southern League first round playoff series against the Tennessee Smokies, but look to get back on track in Game 2 tonight. You can listen online for free here, beginning at 4:15 p.m. PDT.
- The rookie league Ogden Raptors open their Pioneer League playoffs Friday night in Orem, Utah. Game 1 starts at 6:05 p.m. PDT, and you can listen online here.

surely attractive

you drink a quart of water with two teaspoons of salt in it.
I pitched to Matt Kemp, and all I got was this stupid earned run.
and that doesn't make you gag?
or is it like drinking gatorade without the sugar?
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
well it’s sea salt for one. i guess teaspoons (not tablespoons) is just enough. It’s definitely NOT like drinking gatorade. It’s a lot of water, though. You feel super full and kind of gross halfway through.
I pitched to Matt Kemp, and all I got was this stupid earned run.
after a few hours, that’s what I’m told. :)

I would have guessed WIllie Wilson next, but I looked it up. Nice.

I had a card that trumpeted Willie Wilson as the all-time record holder for ABs. It was from like Walgreens or something.

I was curious because I looked up wright to see how he had done this year
and noticed he had multiple years with PA over 700, which I found to be quite high.
Your last clue was a dead giveaway.

yeah I was getting bored :-p
I’m not old enough to remember him as a player so dropping hints was tough, I only know him as a modern day grifter.
Dykstra was a badass for a few years there. The 1993 Phillies had their leadoff man lead the league in runs (143), hits (194), and walks (129). Oh yeah, and he had 69 extra-base hits.

Really, all they talked about in the playoffs his rookie year was how he was the next great baseball player.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
In 1988 he was the toast of NY even though he only had 118 plate appearances.

I saw a tweet the other day
and I think I remember this correctly, that the last teenager to hit .300/.400/.500 or better in AA ball in 400+ PA, like Mike Trout did this year, was Gregg Jefferies.

Fleer was awesome in the 1980s
but holy shit what a crap design that 1988 set was:

For some reason I really liked that 1984 set.
I loved 1985, 1986, and 1989 Fleer, and 1985 and 1987 Donruss.

That set looked like Fleer was surprised they were allowed to print baseball cards again, and threw together that design at the last minute.

Rose is the only MLB player 40 or over with 700 PA, with 718 in 1982.
The only other 40+ year olds with even 650 PA are Dave Winfield (670, 1992) and Sam Rice (668, 1930)

Just read the Moneyball review linked above
I’m definitely seeing it but running time is 133 minutes?? Wow.
Its rare a movie is under 110 minutes now days
I’m actually kind of annoyed by it. Lots of movies would probably benefit from being a little shorter.
that one would benefit from being 150 minutes shorter.

You’ve never seen people walk out on boring movies? That makes me uncomfortable.

I don’t care what other people do during the movie, unless they are being loud or something. I’d be more pissed at the movie itself for being boring.

I don't think people will walk out, but it might not be a very crowded theater in first place
which would be awkward.
(when I saw Adventureland, which I liked, I was literally only one in theater! It was my own private screening. It had been playing for a few weeks so it wasn’t like that opening weekend but still…)

I have actually never walked out on a movie, not even the terrible Psycho III. Somewhat recently I was forced to leave a showing of the strangely boring Public Enemies about 110 minutes into it because something that seemed to be smoke was coming out of the corridor (some set off a big fire extinguisher) and I have never bothered to watch the ending.

I walked out of Bourne Identity 2 or whatever it was called
by Michael White on Sep 9, 2011 11:30 AM PDT up reply actions
The opening credits gave me a headache (quick cuts, unfocused camera work) and then the first actually scene of the movie was filmed as though they were in a boat for some reason (up and down.) I said eff this and left before getting sea sickness.

Probably. I know it wouldn’t be as bad on my TV at home as it was in the theater anyway.
by Michael White on Sep 9, 2011 11:35 AM PDT up reply actions
gotcha
that is the biggest problem with the movie, and my issue with the action scenes. Bourne Identity you could SEE everything that was happening. Quick cuts suck. for that reason I’m excited for Haywire, it looks like Identity in a lot of ways.
I walked out on American Born Killers. That’s the only one.

What a horrible

It's not what you look like, when you're doin' what you're doin'
It's what you're doin' when you're doin' what you look like you're doin'!
the one film I remember walking out on is a weird obscure one
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120394/ Twin Town
indecipherable Welsh accents + cruel characters + unpleasant + deadly dull = me walking out. And it was a free screening.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
The only movie I have ever walked out on was Little Nicki (sp?). I knew I’d hate it going in because I can’t stand “stupid humor”. I only went because my girlfriend at the time forced me. She hated it too and we ended up spending the rest of the night camping out in the mountains just outside of Vegas. Ended up being a pretty good night.
never walked out of a theater
only movie i can remember not wanting to finish (so i didn’t) was Dumb and Dumberer. what a POS.

I’ve left one movie mainly because we only go to movies we both agree to watch, something neither of us want to see we leave for home. Verdell could not handle Children of Man and left and we both left a movie dealing with parents and a dead child only because the movie we wanted to see was sold out and we just picked something we knew nothing about because we were there.

With the Dodgers 4½ games behind the Giants for second place with 19 games to play, the Dodgers really have to win at least four of the six matchups against San Francisco, and probably need to win five of the six to have a realistic shot at catching SF for second place.
it really bums me out that Arizona has matched us win for win the last few weeks
takes some of the fun out of it
2 of those starts come from Kershaw, correct?
If I can have this much confidence, we just need 2/4 from the non-kershaw games. Very doable.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Even then, the Dodgers would need to be 3 games better than the Giants over a 13-game stretch. Easier said than done.
Or is it easier done than said?
No, the first one.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
That would require
a final 17-4 run but that is not that unlikely, the Dodgers had a run like that in 2010.
We had our good run, now Andre is on the bench, Loney will cool down, Miles will be Miles, Gordon will go 0 -20 and we will wonder how anyone so fast can go hitless in 20 at bats.
