pinching this cow too.

Here comes a gap double.

OMG..He can't beat that out? Cripple. That's a gift. Deserved to get beat, but we're 18 games over .500. Tulowitzki could use something strong to get through the night. Whatever they gave Ariza in the 3rd quarter of game 3.

now kick back and watch the purple and gold!

Yea, get the biggest whip ya got, cuz this bunch has gotta be hit repeatedly. Pot smoka Lamar gotta come correct.

scuds - i just talked to OJ - he says you can have his two old seats for game 5 tonight enjoy:eek: :eek:

Someone should buy that pot smoka Lamar a pinata full of candy. That was a huge effort. You see how much candy that guy eats? That's pretty funny. Says life is short. Eat as much candy as you can.

LOL, Troncoso manned up twice against the Cubs. Threw some nasty sliders to get some minor leaguers to whiff. If both he and Belasario stay men, then look out. We have got 2 middle relievers(hopefully,) and a talented(but trans-like) closer. Starters have done their job the whole way. If we can get on a roll with these 2 relievers, then we can go to the post with this here. They both are getting better now. Joe could tell Troncoso had his good stuff tonite, and just kept going with him(despite getting in trouble to start the 9th.) Baby bear fans weren't very happy (it did look like they were gunna take it with any kind of decent contact.) 2nd n 3rd, and 1 out. Just needed fly ball to tie, but they both go whiff'n(bitter-bitter please don't hit her.)

13-6 w/o manny - joe maybe doing his best job ever with these bunch of dodgers !

lose Manny and ho-hum - i was thinking maybe 20-30 w/o manny, now it maybe the other way 30-20

9 game lead in the NL west - Joe may have to make multiple stops in NY in oct - 1st citifield and then the new yankee stadium (of course it won't be as an announcer for fox scuds)

don't worry there will be plenty of spaghetti for old joe , even one of the restaurants i go to has not forgotten saint joe , they still have the "pollo joe torre " on the menu , its pretty good scuds , bet you can't get it in LA with all them TOFU places around out there:D :D

Got a couple bad calls today in the 8th. That's o.k. Feel sorry for the Cub fans. They needed a win to start the weekend. If you only get 5 hits, then you should lose huh? They still were giving us a shot to tie though. 3rd baseman gave us 4 outs. Cubs need to get better on the fundamental stuff. I'm pretty much used to Pierre doing that late in games. He's been o.k. in run-away games, but he has failed routinely late in games with men on base. TRADE THAT CHOKE WHILE HIS AVERAGE IS UP. In the post, that's exactly the type you don't want playing for you (you want the opposite.)

F the Yankees with a half pine cone.

and it i'll be great when hank gets in a fight with 2 dodger fans in an elevator just like his father in '81 - only this time they'll end up with broken ribs out there at in doderland - would be a great world series if we BOTH can get there - could you imagine the trash talking on here , we may have to bring someone out of retirement to really get you going scuds:eek: :eek:

That guy for Cleveland was pretty frustrated. Don't know his name. Something weird sounding (like a-s-s dribble Cabrera, I think.)

Got the split from the baby bears. That's a 5-2 road trip. Belasario n' Troncoso are the two that are still bridging for us. I guess Kershaw is gunna help give them some rest. Monday's a big day for us. Kuroda is coming back.

scuds - how about the month of may for Tex ??? now that was pretty darn good , for me he has carte blanch until the playoffs , at this rate he will be the AL MVP

la 14-8 w/o manny , kinda get like uncle joe no? doing a pretty good job , hey scuds?

Jesus Gales! Talk about extremes, he was a bust 3 games into the season and now he has carte blanch until the playoffs. So you are saying that if has a repeat of April down the stretch in September you will not be on here burning up the thread with how he's the bigest bust ever, just like Scuds said he would be?

careful - i may have overreacted as a fan 3 games into the season and said he was a bust, he has shown that april was a bad month and may was agreat month



scuds never said bust - he was talking about the contact size and what he specifically did not do to earn it (the same case can be made for a-rod)

to me if tex and a-rod carry the yankees home in the postseason then every dollar was worth it , if they both do disappearing acts in key clutch spots that both have done in the past in the postseason then they and yankee fans will consider them failures

see to play in NY and take the $ you have to produce in the big post season spotlight , A-rod has carried the team in may before and then had to bat 8th in the lineup because he totally lost it in oct that year

if you ask any yankee fan right now about A-rod's tenure in the bronx is it a passing grade or failing grade - the only answer at this point is failiure , he has to win a world series

tex now falls into the same category he has to win a wrold series

the pitching can carry them there this year, but 1 of those 2 is going to have to be a game changer (ie puljos) in the big spot in oct

OMG...I'm stunned. Someone actually got that right.

scuds - wtf - best team in baseball and chavez ravine was empty last night

where is the love from the fans

yanks pack most of the seats on a nightly basis

It's still basketball season out there.

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.)
