Off game thread, but Arizona up 3 to 1 in the first off a bomb to right field. Come on you Reds!
One-two-three. Good start Tomko.
Nomar singles in Martin after he singled and stole second. Go blue!
Wha? That was fast!
When a guy gets hit by a pitch, does Gameday show where he got beaned?
3 K's! Brett Tomkoufax!
Damn that was a nasty breaking ball from Tomko for the strikeout. Ouch.
A no-no with 5 stikeouts isnt too shabby.
5 K's!
Beitmet sucks. Get back to the fricken base!
I like this Martin kid.
Vin is saying Grady has a smile on his face. I didn't know Grady could make facial expressions! Bases loaded for Valdez!
Hey, does anyone think the home plate ump signals strikes like Leslie Neilson in the Naked Gun?
Come on Betemit, you are hitting .067, show up to the party.
9 K's! What is going on here?
Ok Chad, don't blow that great start by Tomko.
Thanks chad. Walk him Grady!!!

Wow, nice path to the ball Gonzo. Trying to cover the most amount of ground possible?
Yeah baby 1-2-3 double play. GO blue!
Bonds is up to bat for the Giants.
Arizona still tied with the Reds.
This is a great spot for Bigbie to pinch hit...oh wait a sec....
Juan Pierre looks so beaten down, I actually feel bad for him. Glad he got a hit.
Yes!!! 2-1 dodgers!
Martin comes through with a great at bat that ended with a SF. Betemit looked like a 1500-lb man coming down the third base line. And when they cut back to Byung-Yung Kim, he was picking his nose.
As we get all fired up over Juan Pierre's subpar .206 average, let's remember that Nomar is only at .200, Ethier is at .143 and Betemit is at .062.
Yucch.
Hey Steve Finley is up to bat. Nice to see you agin, now strikeout.
Anybody remember Mr. Saito as tag team partner for Mr. Fuji? Regardless, that's all folks... now I have to go pee. Good game.
SSSSSAAAAAMMMMMYYYYY!
Delayed call is right. Man, that call was late!
Dodgers win, 2-1!
I'm done.
