tomorrow (or thurs cant remember) is Antonio Bastardo's first MLB start for the Phillies. He's a nice prospect and will be interesting to see how he does. Has been pitching well for the Iron Pigs.

Lucky for him his first start will be against Jake Peavey.

1) They are waiting for the fireworks on Friday Night(after the game.)
2) It's on virtually everyone's dish or cable in the L.A. area.
3) Very overpriced.
4) Manny gone.
5) The D'BACKS are having an off year.
6) Starting Pitcher for the D'BACKS is not well known.
7) Fans n' Players (both) took Monday off, after kickin' Baby Bears butts on National T.V.(Sunday Night.) This was a let down.
8) Nobody wanted to see Kuroda get rocked early(was a possibility he could of been horribly off, but he pitched well.)
9) Lakers
10) Poor L.A. Economy
11) Saving their money for the bigger series against the Phils.
12) I Would rather spend $100 a ticket to go to a playoff game.
13) Ocean air cuts down on chance of seeing bombs hit out of that park at night.

scuds - i think the Richmond Braves had more fans last night:D :D

Attendance: 32,304 (57.7% full)

terrible scuds terrible

yanks rolling tonight scuds

LOL..Yanks ain't facing this fkn Dan Haren. Padres n' Giants laying down for us. Let the D'BACKS get da rocks off. It's a fkn lazy group. Waited until the 9th to try to hit last night. Just fkn lazy. Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday= all lazy offensively. So, all these people that say we don't need Manny are wrong. Kuroda was rusty early last night, but was pitching great at the end of his 5 innings. That's worth about 5 wins right now. Remember that BILLYLEE is a choke in the post. We need Kuroda, or we'll probably go out in the 1st round.

OOO...GALES ...You're powerful. Somehow, you gave the Dodgers life. You should train them fighting roosters. Up to Brox, now. Fatboy gunna do it?

Done deal!! 9 game lead. Thank You, Gales. They'd of just stayed female all night (if ya didn't talk s-h=-i-t.) You're the sparkler.

since this is belmont week , it's the dodgers by 9 , getting close to the halfway point , manny is in sight , now july it's the dodgers by 12 , now august (the 3/4 pole) the dodges by 16 , now it's labor day , joe torre has these boy moving like "tremendous machines" towards the playoffs , dodgers by 20 , dodgers by 22 , that 's it folks the dodgers are going to be the NL west champs on Sept 15 , i'll say goodnight and hand it over to my good friend Vin Scully for the playoffs

Hey Scuds... guess what team has the 2nd best winning percentage in the league?? :p

Bastardo looked impressive last night Lori!!! :$: ;)

Should be a fun weekend. When is Victorino a free agent?

phillies on thursday night , going up against the NBA finals cross town

how many are they going to draw scuds?

unfortunately I cant watch many games unless they are playing the Rays... once and awhile when they play the Marlins the game is on the Florida sports network... but other than that just nationally televised games.

But from everwhere I read, seemed like his night went great for a ML debut! 6 innings 1 earned run, 4 hits and 5 strikeouts (funny how I can remember stats like that off the top of my head but I cant remember so much other stuff).

I hope they give him some more chances. Also glad JC Romero can come back now... Hope they send Chan Ho Park... which everyone on here correctly predicted he would suck and they are right... down to the minors or just send him home.

:) I hope Victorino plays for the phillies his whole career!!! I still get upset with the fact we were mentioning him in trades last year. He's as clutch as ANYONE in sports (maybe Tiger is more clutch). He brings his game every day. Cant ask for a better player than the Flyin Hawaiian (sp?).

Do you know if the games will be nationally televised?

i think sunday night espn

Get the MLB.COM thing. You're out of the Philly area. So, you can see almost all the Phils games on the computer. That's(I would guess) how these guys are seeing the Dodger games.

He was on the Jon & Kate plus 8 show last season. Hes a really good player.
You can tell he loves doing this for a living.

Look at the pitch he hit against us in game 4. That's a really tough pitch to do that with. Does he ever get hurt(just asking..LOL.)
