Game 60 Thread: June 9 vs. Padres, 7p

MANNYWATCH: 20 GAMES
PADRES' OPPONENT RECORD WITHOUT MANNY: 18-12

Chad Billingsley (7-3, 2.59) vs. Chris Young (4-4, 4.46).

COMMENTS: Magic or Padres? Padres or Magic? Fans of Orlando and San Diego sports teams are going to have a difficult time deciding what to watch tonight. The unpredictable Padres are coming off a four-game split with the Diamondbacks, while the Magic are involved in some sort of roundball-related fisticuffs with the hoops outfit originally hailing from Minneapolis.

J steve, I'm up at the loge section 118, but can't find you. Sorry!

NicJ said...

the "send dwight to the line" plan isnt working as well as it should.

Orel said...

MLASF out of nowhere!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Lead back to 4

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Just one stop.

Steve Sax said...

How can you walk Chris Young, Princeton boy?

NicJ said...

get some stops. the game is soooo close.

and stop fouling

Steve Sax said...

Wait, is there a hoops game on tonight?

NicJ said...

no foul call! come on.

Steve Sax said...

Shit, 2nd and 3rd none out in the fifth.

Orel said...

Nervous time in Orlando!

NicJ said...

how long has this game been around a five point lead? it seems like forever.

Fred's Brim said...

these guys are battling Bills.

Chris Gwynn's nephew with the double, 2nd and 3rd, nobody out

can't walk the pitcher, can't give bad hitters good hitters counts

NicJ said...

magic ball, again.

NicJ said...

ok, that one was right.

NicJ said...

there so damn close!

Orel said...

Pau with a chance to tie it up.

NicJ said...

damn, could of been the lead, gotta dunk that pau.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Down to two, with free-throws coming up for Pau.

Fred's Brim said...

msb, dont make me hate you more

Orel said...

"Chris Gwynn's nephew"

Nice!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

MSB wants FB to like him

Orel said...

Shallow out for MSB?

Fred's Brim said...

MSB with the short fly, no tag opportunity

Gotta keep Giles away from the fly ball

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Everything about MSB is shallow.

Fred's Brim said...

still gotta throw strikes to him, Bills. AG is next

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The ump is sqeezing Bills.

rbnlaw said...

Giles: below the Mendoza line and Bills throws to him like he's ted Williams.

Orel said...

TIE GAME (FOR BOTH TEAMS)

Fred's Brim said...

Giles grounder, Furcal thought about going home (and maybe should have...) Walking AG with two outs and Gwynn on third. Kooz to fly out next

Fred's Brim said...

Lou should have made that layup

Fred's Brim said...

or ground out...

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Only a 3 point lead.

Orel said...

Lakers down 3.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Bills is done.

Fred's Brim said...

Bills has a million pitches so far and he's up second. think well see him for another inning?

Orel said...

down 1

Fred's Brim said...

Lewis with the dagger

NicJ said...

just cant get over the hump

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That was a killer.

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

(Fhew)...

NicJ said...

magic up three, now would be a good time to get a stop.

Josh S. said...

Bisonic Boom!

Fred's Brim said...

Matty!!

Fred's Brim said...

Josh - yes!!

NicJ said...

all solo shots, wow.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Why is that man hitting 8th?

Orel said...

Kemp sending Ariza a message!

Fred's Brim said...

Bills staying in...

Dusto_Magnifico said...

good to see the best hitter on the team batting 8th!

Orel said...

Joey Crawford is taking a beating tonight.

Josh S. said...

Dodgers fail to set the table, Dre and Matt feast anyway.

Orel said...

Kobe misses his fifth FT.

Fred's Brim said...

to quote Isiah Thomas, "gotta make your free thoze"

NicJ said...

kobe from the line is the difference of the game.

Josh S. said...

The 8th spot has some magic this year.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Free-throws are the difference in this game.

Orel said...

Need a stop!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

They need a stop, no matter what, they need a stop.

Fred's Brim said...

O!

Josh S. said...

Welcome back O-Dog!

It's solo shot night!

Dusto_Magnifico said...

dang! come on baby light that fire! another solo shot.

Orel said...

That'll do! Laker ball with 37.2 seconds left.

Fred's Brim said...

what the hell is up with this power surge?! (i love it, please dont go away!)

NicJ said...

that is the second time in the playoffs that kobe has done that. WTF!

NicJ said...

thats game.

Fred's Brim said...

Dre gave it a ride, just onto the track in center!

OK Bills time for an easy inning

Dusto_Magnifico said...

Ethier just missed that one.

Josh S. said...

Sure, four home runs one game AFTER the one I go to.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

DAMMIT!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm so pissed right now.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

There's a small glimmer of hope.

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

Vin Scully talking about '88 for me is like an 8 year old going for ice-cream with Mickey Mouse

Fred's Brim said...

attaboy Bills, get that first batter

Orel said...

Well, they had their chances.

Fred's Brim said...

ow that nailed Hundley. cmon Bills tighten up

PenosCabell said...

Whats Bills pitch count?

Fred's Brim said...

452

or 116

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That does it.

Fred's Brim said...

ok Bills - one more and you can hit the the showers

PenosCabell said...

Kobe was god-awful tonight.

Fred's Brim said...

well that's it for Bills, Leach in t face the lefty

Dusto_Magnifico said...

Josh: you were at Sundays game?

NicJ said...

well, at least we can say. The magic won that game, the lakers didnt lose. The magic were almost perfect and they only won by two (four)

I didnt expect the lakers to win, however it did look good at times

NicJ said...

kobe was just spent by the time the 4 Q came.

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

Is there anything tougher than being Tony Gwynn's son? If I were him, I would've rather gutted fish for a living than play baseball.

PenosCabell said...

I don't know if that was the right call.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Now I focus on the Dodgers.

Fred's Brim said...

how many "sons" have the Padres had over the years? Gywnn, Venable, Barfield? Any more? Maybe it's the Garvey influence...

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

Or is it 'gut' fish?

Fred's Brim said...

yikes he was safe

Steve Sax said...

Sixth inning stretch: YMCA.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I think if I'm on the Lakers, I feel good after this game. Much like Game 3 against Utah, the Magic were on fire, and yet the victory was only by 2 (4).

NicJ said...

wait, how many homeruns have i missed? Good hitting, or bad pitching?

PenosCabell said...

Kobe was awsome in the first half. He tried to take over in the 3rd, and was terrible. He had nothing left by the fourth. Missing all those free throws killed them.

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

Great play. Love our middle infield D this year.

PenosCabell said...

4 Dodger homeruns. All solo shots.

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

Is YMCA new at dodger stadium? I haven't lived in LA in 3 years (sniff...)

NicJ said...

MLSF, agreed. There is no way the magic shoot that well next game.

PenosCabell said...

300

PenosCabell said...

no

Josh S. said...

Yeah Dusto. I forgot it was your big trip or I would have let you know where I was.

Fred's Brim said...

Sax they dont do that stupid thing where the grounds crew does the YMCA dance as the drag the infield, do they?

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

they played it old yankee when they dragged the infield in the 6th, and the groundskeepers did the motions. Lame. But original.

Josh S. said...

OK, Beardo, it's your turn.

Fred's Brim said...

yeah it was good in 1996, but it's tied now. They should have retired it when they moved, but they still do it at the new stadium

Fred's Brim said...

they also pump in ambient cheering and clapping into the upper deck

NicJ said...

haha, FB, they use canned heat? thats a professional wrestling trick.

Fred's Brim said...

nice work, Casey, you earned that one

time for Russ' first HR

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Back2back shots off Kouz.

NicJ said...

was that a good hit? or poor fielding?

NicJ said...

alright now lets hit a HR

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Raffy with a comebacker. Acts as a sac. One out, second and third.

Fred's Brim said...

they do! i heard it first hand - they had "lets go Yankees, clap-clap clap-clap-clap" coming from speakers under the roof above the upper deck. They (probably correctly) assume that drunken Yankee fans will clap along

Dusto_Magnifico said...

Furcal needs to go to the DL. He's just hurting the team.

NicJ said...

walking kemp? BOOOOO

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'd go with the pinch-hitter, though just not Loretta.

Fred's Brim said...

cmon Mark, you're due

NicJ said...

ill take a WP right now.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Damn, that looked low.

Fred's Brim said...

that was no strike, blue!

NicJ said...

damn, he was just under that one.

Fred's Brim said...

he was on that one!

Orel said...

"was that a good hit? or poor fielding?"

A lot of balls bouncing off diving gloves.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Damn.

NicJ said...

sounded promising, loretta has lost his luster from earlier in the season.

NicJ said...

Orel- thats what she said.

Fred's Brim said...

Should never have let Loretta play so many games in the field - he's lost his PH edge

Steve Sax said...

Mini-sirloin burger is 2 for 3 tonight...

Fred's Brim said...

MSB gonna get some flame broiling courtesy of Belli

Steve Sax said...

2-2 count to MSB

Fred's Brim said...

how can that guy have more power than Juanny?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Easy inning for Belly.

NicJ said...

JP hit one out at PNC last year.

Orel said...

"Orel- thats what she said."

Zing!

Fred's Brim said...

haha Nic likes his scuba porn

NicJ said...

is it bad when you can hear the autotune on a GBA performance?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

A very simple GBA. Nothing flashy about it. Just the basic song, and I liked it.

NicJ said...

she sounded like T Pain

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hey, I like T-Pain.

Fred's Brim said...

musta been the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol

NicJ said...

Me too, i didnt say he was bad.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Is the draft still going?

Fred's Brim said...

i have a cousin and uncle named Mike Adams. Neither are good at baseball

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

A kid out of Simi Valley was just drafted. That's the same valley the Weavers came from.

NicJ said...

yeah some guy from bonita went like in the top 25, thats like right near me.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hee-Sop Choi reference.

NicJ said...

we need a few more insurance runs, 2 runs isnt safe with Gonzo lurking around.

Fred's Brim said...

Dre seems to be feeling better...

Fred's Brim said...

Agreed, Nic

Fred's Brim said...

perfect throw gets Ethier

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

For Andre, baseball is more mental than it is physical. He has the talent, but he needs the confidence. His resurgence really began after his homer off Dan Haren, something that could boost anyone's confidence.

Josh S. said...

"Furcal needs to go to the DL. He's just hurting the team."

With DeWitt back up, I'm thinking you might be right. Though, Saturday's homer is still fresh in my mind.

NicJ said...

up first, at least the most he can do is hit a solo shot

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I've already heard people who want to use the Yankees' call for A-Rod on Gonzalez.

"An a-bomb from A-Gon!"

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Unintentional intentional walk.

NicJ said...

lead off walk.

Josh S. said...

Vin described Belly as 6'2", 180 lbs. and Tron as 6'2", 200 lbs.

Does not compute.

NicJ said...

serve up a DP ball

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Wait, I just figured this out.

Are the Dodgers trying to employ the entire Wallach family.

NicJ said...

alright now that DP ball.

NicJ said...

man, almost could of thrown gonzo out.

Fred's Brim said...

cmon Tronny, bear down

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

Great K. Down n' in.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

There's Nic's DP.

Orel said...

New commercial! Mini Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwiches!

NicJ said...

thank you tron tron.

Josh S. said...

Zip Code: 90090
Area Code: 643

NicJ said...

doesnt quite roll of the tongue like the MSB's

Fred's Brim said...

so who gets to be called MBRCS?

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

'I heard it thru the grapevine.' Great tune.

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

Still I'd prefer to hear Nancy B.

Josh S. said...

Thank God the Mini Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich song isn't as bad of an earworm as the Mini Sirloin Burger Song.

NicJ said...

josh your pic is hilarious

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

I'm watching on mlb.tv. Any midgets in the buffalo ad?

NicJ said...

a sub-mariner!

sort of.

NicJ said...

it seems like the submarine pitchers get a benefit of a lower strike zone.

Fred's Brim said...

Casey didnt know what to do with those pitches from Clah, so he took the walk

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

C'mon J-Mart, you need to pop your homer cherry.

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

I think I regret posting that.

NicJ said...

lucky on that one, blanco has still got a good arm.

NicJ said...

raffy finds a hole. and gets a RBI

Fred's Brim said...

wow! mlb.tv starts working again and we've scored!

Josh S. said...

Sidearmers weird me out foe some reason.

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

everybody do the dinosaur? that's an obscure one. Props to the sound guy.

NicJ said...

its nice to get a win that not a come from behind.

bison is too fast!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Kemp with the infield single!

Josh S. said...

Woo! Matt gets back the close play from Sunday.

Fred's Brim said...

was not was? should have played that when Moyer pitched

Fred's Brim said...

cmon Joyce!

NicJ said...

there are some submariners from japan, when they pitch they almost scrape their knuckles on the ground.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Damn. DP.

Fred's Brim said...

so many DPs

NicJ said...

damn, dewiitt.

way to ruin the game.

Nah, JK. you're cool.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Byung-Hyung Kim is probably the most famous Japanese submariner.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The Ox is in.

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

By the band, 'Was (not Was)'. things Vinny won't tell you.

Fred's Brim said...

mean Edgar!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

400

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

A-Gon's clone is up.
