Chan Ho Park (2-2, 2.95) vs. C.C. Sabathia (5-8, 4.26).
COMMENTS: Today we see CHP versus C.C., you see. (Say that five times fast.) This is Sabathia's first career start against the Dodgers, as he's been busy compiling a lifetime 105-71 record against mostly AL opponents. This is Park's second start of the season, as he's been providing capable long relief for the Dodgers. And if Cliff Lee can make the Dodger bats disappear, as he did last night, then Sabathia is likely to do the same today. Hopefully Joe Torre will start Russell Martin; the Dodgers without Furcal are punchless enough; the Dodgers without Furcal and Martin have less sock than an armless boxer.

I can't believe this. Long home run by C.C. Sabathia.
I don't have a good feeling about this.
Indians 1-Dodgers 0
Hey guys, I am stuck in a function for (he next 2 hrs. Please keep me up to date on the game!
Go Dodgers!
Shoot, man on second with one out. And the runner can't even spell his name right.
I'll do my best, i'm multitasking over here.
Park gets out of the jam! Way to go.
After a couple of K's. Kent singled down the left fielder.
Here comes my son...
Martin singled! 2 outs and Young is at the plate.
Sabathia was pitching a no-hitter 'till this inning.
Young struck out.
Mlb.com gameday shows a pretty bad pitch on which Young K'd.
It's hard to believe we're only down one run.
It was indeed a very bad pitch.
Love the new avatar, Karina!
Park has been able to get out safely from the jams.
Fashionista King James singled!
My cool friend found the image of my avatar for me. It's a nice replacement to the gnome.
Speaking of Loney, this morning, when i did a quick research on LaRoche facial hair, i remembered what Orel said about facial hair being a big thing on the Dodgers clubhouse so i made another research and found a gem.

I'm not the only one praising King James grooming.
Do tell!
Your friends must be super-cool.
Quick bet: what would Sweeney do?
a strike out or a ground out?
Sweeney and his daily K, he must have dropped 20 points on his average.
Ah, the Ladies.... I feel dirty every time I read that site.
I hadn't read that site ever. I emailed the link to my girls, let's see if someone starts having some interest for soccer-baseball, due to some attractive athlete.
Did you see Schmidt throwing a ball with an uniform on?
Jim Edmonds hit two home runs in the 9th inning for the Cubs today. Padres fans must be furious.
Hey, whatever it takes to make fans!
I saw Schmidt throwing. It means nothing to me.
why do you feel dirty reading Ladies...?
I enjoy babes loves baseball.
BISON BOMB! (solo, of course)
Bison HR! let's go blue!
a first pitch HR!
The Ladies treat athletes like pieces of meat! Not that I mind—turnabout is fair play.
Do you think we are going to win this game?
It is fair play. I found them hilarious and unique, you don't get athletes analyzed like that. They're almost prudish if you compare what the Ladies... say with any Maxim or GQ picture.
Kemp made a great catch!
I firmly believe they're gonna win this game.
There's that famous Karina optimism!
That's embarrassing for Delwyn Young, swinging at a pitch that hit his foot.
Tommy shouldn't be sitting in the sun like that!
Sabathia at 110 pitches.
Ditto, Orel.
Still tied up in the function...but I just found an unoccupied batting cage and snaked a Big Ten-logod baseball! Score!
Karina, we need a picture of you in the avatar. After all, we all have OUR pictures...
this is Sabathia's last inning and i know they can hit to the Indians bullpen.
Yes, Sax. I'm aware of that.
Hello everyone. Just got in from taking a friend to the airport, and now I'm a little depressed. Hopefully the Dodgers can win and make me feel a little better. The Red Sox are definitely not doing their part.
Orel and Karina, thanks for your comments on my blog.
Sabathia just owned Ethier there.
I need some advice: i'm worried about my meeting with the people from school. I guess i'm worried about the girls. The ones that are organizaing this thing were very mean to me back then and i don't know what to wear (something it doesn't really happen very often). What do you say: a) sort of hot or b)stylish?
I just wanted to express i fully support your views, Erin and i 100% agree with you.
Great catch by King James! They're gonna win this game!
Hi Erin! Let's see if we can cheer you up here.
Wow, the Fashion Police is asking our advice? Maybe take some pictures and we'll vote!
Beimel had a sweet eighth. Let's see if the Dodgers can muster any late heroics.
Erin, our thoughts are with you and your girlfriend. Hope everything is ok.
This function is eternal. But I stepped out with my son and we found a batting cage, so we snaked a Big Ten-logo baseball...
I'm feeling like a pretty insecure 16 yr old.
Karina, I assumed you were both (a) and (b) without even trying. Screw what they think, wear what you want!
Or, you can feel like a pretty, secure 16-year old.
The update is that my girlfriend's grandmother has been sick for a while, and it looks like she'll probably go any minute now. It's my girlfriend's last living grandparent, albeit one that she wasn't that close to, so it's sad. She actually can't make it to Pittsburgh this weekend, though, so that's not who I was taking to the airport. Just a friend who had been working here in Chicago on the movie, and who we came to really like. So I'm sad she's gone.
But thank you for your thoughts, Sax.
I'm probably the last person you want to ask for advice like this, Karina.
What Sax said!
Being on location is kind of like being at summer camp. It's always nice to make new friends.
Exactly, Orel.
Martin showing remarkable patience in that AB.
The friends you make when on location are very special. You sort of make a very tight bond. I know how you feel.
Thanks Orel and Sax for the support. My friends won't go (they were worse with them) so i'll go by myself and then they'll buy a couple of vodkatinis.
I'm sorry about your girlfriend's grandmother.
I never had many friends. I should have gone on location more often.
Please tell me Delwyn delivered.
Kemp? Wha?!
Hi Erin, Karina, Orel, Sax (EKOS). Just checking in. I see we are in a double-binary game. My guess is it will go to 11 innings.
C'mon Broxton, don't fall apart.
Epale EK!
I think the sun blocked Kemp's sight. You tell me if that's possible.
Eps, Orel. I'm microwaving some food, I'll be back -
Hola Eric!
Karina, where are you meeting your friends?
We need a double play.
at the 4D, i guess it'll be outside, in a nice patio they have.
Yes - one double play, please...
I won't meet my friends there. I'll go there, see what my former classmates have planned for our 10th anniversary high school reunion. Then, my friends will reward me with vodkatinis.
Ah yes, you mentioned that. I loved 4D but never understood the name.
Inning-ending DP! Good work, boys!
are you an ice cream addict?
My ten-year reunion is in August. I will not be attending.
My DP request has been granted!
I echo KOS' well-wishing sentiments, Erin.
I am speaking in abbv. today.
I developed a destructive ice cream dependency a few years ago when I moved to the NY area, but I have since kicked it.
Congratulations, Eric!
I attended my 5-year HS reunion but nothing since. I did however recently see part of the Real World reunion on MTV a few weeks ago, not sure if that counts.
I hate reunions. Actually, I can't really say that because I've never been to one. Let's just say I hate the idea of reunions. Right, Sax?
If the reunion were in July, I'd consider it because I could go on my way back to Los Angeles. But I'm driving back across the country, spending some time in Texas, and then heading home. I just won't feel like getting back up and heading to Florida for the reunion.
LaRoche singled...
Let's go, ALaR.
Dammit, how many excruciatingly late games are we gonna lose?
Thanks, Karina.
I see my Gameday is running a bit late.
Not this one, Sax, cuz Berroa is up!
Oh, i see, interesting answers. There are people who i'd like to see again, but i could do without seeing others.
Extras again!
My attitude on Reunions is if it's conveniently nearby and I have nothing else to do, I'd go. But neither of those two things have coincided so I haven't been to one except that one time.
Jeopardy is on TV
Don't listed to Orel, he really loves High School Reunions. He organizes ours every year and is currently trying to get the committee to approve semi-annual reunions.
I think that's our problem: we don't really have those excuses, but Hector and Jaime, who are living in Europe.
So i guess Eric and Orel went to school together.
I changed the pic for Sax. Only for today, then i'm getting back to my ultra cool Fashion Police badge.
4 of the 7 Sons went to high school together.
awwwwwwww, that's so sweet!.
Karina - who is taking your pic from that angle? The gnome?
Sizemore hits into a DP!
that's a baseball related pic. It's on the windy Luis Aparicio and it was taken by some graphic reporter who's under me.
Hey, maybe the Dodgers will give an excuse to miss this meeting!
Can't depend on Bison for two HRs. On to the 11th.
Something I just learned from Jeopardy: Zimbabwe means 'enclosed by stone'
Seeing Proctor gives me chills on the spine.
Instinct was right. Did you notice Martin didn't even put himself in the position to block the plate?
I just saw that Blake to the left field and i thought about the Bad News Bears. Who's with me?
Rancho Ardiendo. One out.
Bad News Bears, indeed.
Proctor has made it much easier for me to justify taking a quick nap, and so that's what I'm off to do. See you tomorrow (maybe).
Have a nice evening, Erin.
Why Torre would go to Proctor AGAIN is a mystery. But we can't pin this on all on the bullpen—Dodger bats, or lack thereof, are also to blame.
Gotta run. Better luck tomorrow!
Nice pic, Karin!
Sometimes mom is all you need. She came in, saw i've covered the bed with clothes and then she says a couple of things and grabs something i had discarded, puts it next to something i was trying on and it's all solved.
Thanks, Orel!. I don't what happened in that moment, but i'm sure i was looking at the ball down third base or left field.
Mom: is ****** going?
Me: he's working abroad...
Mom: is he going to the reunion on July?
Me: he said over the facebook group he would.
Mom: for that reunion honey, you have to look as beautiful as you possibly can, so he realizes what he missed.
****** was my school crush. He was around me the entire time but he never did anything and i was too shy and insecure to encourage him.
Love my mami!
Martin has 3 singles in the game today. If the team sucks, he won't.
Loney RBI double!, guys, have you given up this game?
I am honestly depressed about the Dodgers, but reading the banter from everyone makes me feel better.
I like reunions, and the truth is that Orel and I were roommates once and even though I was planning a high school reunion, Orel politely refused to go. It's not his thing.
So you are the only one who goes. Would you give mesome advice when your friends abandon you? (i gotta say they have more reasons to miss it than actually going, it was way harder for them).
This is a meeting so we decide what we're gonna do.
You know, I didn't see it so much as "abandoning" me. I wanted to run the reunion, Orel didn't want to attend, and that was cool by me. He was totally respectful of the difference in perspective.
And he's a good friend anyway, so whether he attends the reunion or not is irrelevant to me.
Same here. They're all my very good friends, i've been friends with them since 5th grade and we've been together through thick and thin. I know why they don't want to go, specially considering what these people were with them, but they also know it won't be easy for me. They know i'm pretty anxious and need the support.
That's what they agreed (without consulting me): that i go alone, that i'm entitled to take decisions for them, i'll get back home and they'll pick me up and they'll buy me vodkatinis (and some chocolate, if it goes bad). I'll gossip with them and that'll be it.
We have a month to prepare ourselves for the big thing.
Off!
as always, have a nice evening!
Your loss, ******!
