DODGERS' RECORD WITHOUT MANNY: 23-16
Old Dodger Weaver (3-1, 3.72) vs. Young Angel Weaver (7-2, 2.08).
COMMENTS: What's the big deal here? I've pitched against my brother at least a hundred times before. He's got a mean splitter and fastball, and was never afraid to come inside with the chin music. I relied on changing speeds often to keep my opponents off-balance. I think I won more often than not, but unforunately, there was no way to keep lifetime head-to-head records on RBI Baseball, so I don't have the stats.
Meanwhile, everyone is making a hullabaloo about the first career Weaver matchup, the eighth time in Major League history that brothers have gone head-to-head. Shaggy vs. the Subway-named guy. Complacent looks of stoic expression are certain to abound!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 309 of 309Andre is pretty well know for not wanting to crash a wall for a play. With that being said I can't totally blame him. Those things are hard.
HBP for Hunter.
Hunter plunked.
Tell Belly, Hunter is not Douche Mode.
That had to hurt.
Who did we name Douche Mode again?
When Belly K'd Vlady.
That was a beautiful pitch Belly used to K Vlad.
Andruw Jones = Douche Mode.
rbnlaw - How could I have forgotten that?
Gubizca has a man crush on Belly.
In other words, we should've wasted a plunking on him, not Hunter.
Although it's one way to keep Hunter from hurting you.
Now if Belly plunks Rivera, the Angel fans will love it.
Nice job by Belly.
Ali,
are you watching the Angel broadcast when Vin is on PT?
Hunter is the Angel one least wants to face this year.
Dominant work by Belly.
Pretty gutsy by Belly-sario.
So does anyone think we are getting plunked now. It feels like it could be that kind of game.
Belisario struck out his countrymen. Love it!. The Angels are stacked on venezuelan players.
"Here comes 8 Gold Gloves after it."
Gawd, I love Vinny.
rbnlaw - Don't have cable. Long discussion on this in another game thread. ;-)
I could see them plunking Ethier, maybe.
and how many 0-2 counts for the Beard this weekend?
Ouch, Casey
Ali,
Sorry to hear that.
Did someone start a fund to get you out of that mess?
LOL rbn. Actually, my fiancee won't let us get it because she thinks it would be a waste (and that I would monopolize the TV to watch baseball.)
Imagine if Bills didn't walk anyone last night. Good work from JW.
Ali,
When she's right, she's right; but what are you doing now?
Belly is striking out guys who are really tough to punch out.
Wow. For the Angels guys, it's become "Who the hell is Belisario, and how is he striking everybody out?"
Rbnlaw - I annoy her by listening on the radio in the living room. Eventually we will get multiple TVs and cable.
That said, since we live in the middle of the city, we get close to 30 HD channels over the air.
That's five straight Ks by Belisario.
I wonder if Russ speaks Spanish?
You could've called three of those pitches strikes.
Joe with the hook.
Jack in the Box has the best commercials
Maybe belli knows French.
I'm clapping quietly in my room for you, Belisario. I don't care you left two runners on base.
Easy work for tron tron.
One advantage to watching the game on Angels: the deflated announcers when they aren't winning.
Sacre bleu!
The actor in the Jack in the Box tacos commercial also seems to be in the Quiznos commercial.
Nic - I wonder is Vlad speaks better French than English.
Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie
Vlad's Vulcan is better than his English.
That is as far as Loretta can hit it anymore.
I like the look on Russ' face these days. Focused and determined.
Frank Francisco now facing San Francisco.
The angels announcers are barely even talking now. Haha
They don't know how to react when they see a good bullpen.
And inside of Chad Billingsley it's too dark to read!
Brian Wilson does it again!! Tie game up in the bay.
Tron gets the DP.
TEX 1, SF 1, top 9
ARI 2, SEA 2, top 7
OAK 3, SD 3, top 6
Matt Cain and bills stay tied in the win column for the week.
Does the Bison run?
Wow. A beach ball actually dropped in front of the KCOP camera.
Ouch.
Hope that isn't a torn hand ligament or broken bone.
Ouch. Looks like Bison is ok.
That's an ouchie.
Aybar gets one in the ribs next at-bat.
There's the extent of Pierre's power.
Vin talking international news!
Is there any explanation for the large beach balls?. I find people throwing those things very strange.
Russell heating up? Furcal heating up? Can you imagine?
R-Rod in for the Angels.
"Is there any explanation for the large beach balls?. I find people throwing those things very strange."
That's Los Angeles-area baseball fans for you, Karina.
Having Russ and raffy heat up is very promising. Add that to the fact that we are only two weeks away from Manny's independence day and it looks to be a very good summer.
RANCHO RANCHO!
The beach balls are annoying, and at every game I threaten to pop one if they come near me. Christine threatens to leave me if I do that, even though she hates them, too. The worst is listening to the boos when there is no activity on the field to warrant that, knowing that people are likely booing because an usher took away a beach ball.
After making a lovely batch of lemonade, I'm back.
My greatest fear is that we are peaking too early, but it's not exactly like we are on fire right now.
Rancho Ardiendo, no hay donde ponerlos!
"Lemonade, that cool, refreshing drink."
At least we don't use thunder sticks.
Orel, isn't enough with the wave?
Giants and Rangers in extras.
I should say that all I did was cut the lemons and strain the juice.
Although, when the Dodgers played the Mets in the playoffs in 2006, they gave out plastic bats at Dodger Stadium. The bats were filled with rice or something, and they made noise. Beating those things together, or against the chairs, or whatever, was a lot of fun. We lost that game, of course, but it was still a good time.
"Orel, isn't enough with the wave?"
You would think. Add to those the whole arrive-late-leave-early thing and you can see why Dodger fans have a bad reputation.
I hate it when people boo because they lose the beachballs. What the hell is the point of a beach ball? What entertainment does it provide? Why do you pay for tickets, parking, food just so you can smack a beachball at other people.
That's different, Erin. I'd be extra annoyed if a beachball interferes with my vision of the game.
What was Vinny saying?
It could have been great. Just three more outs and it'll be a win.
Haha yeah I remember the stupid things. Why not just give out laser pens.
The rays cowbells are pretty awful.
First pitch at 100 for the Ox. Sounds like his toe is better.
Get it. Thanks!.
Broxton is taking a lot of time between pitches.
Broxton's still a little rusty.
Earlier in the season someone was blowing up condoms using them as beach balls. Haha
needless to say everyone was less enthusiastic about hitting those.
One down, two to go.
Morales Ks on a 97-mph (98 according to the TV radar) fastball.
Nic, like this?
Broxton is definitely rusty.
Inflated condoms is a common sight here.
Anyone know how long the Dodgers have had the pant-leg pinstripe on their away uniforms?
Nice catch by Juan.
Nice pick by Beast Mode!
Damn. Good thing this isn't a save situation.
Stupid fireworks.
That ought to wake Broxton up.
Actually, a great time for Broxton to get a HR out of his system.
When is the last time we have had a convincing win.
Awesome. Just an awesome game tonight.
That's a sad starting pitcher stat for us.
Hah, the Angels guys can't believe they lost. "But...Matthews hit a homer. How did we lose? Doesn't that mean we win?"
Maybe broxton just wanted to give a little more to charity.
But it's a win, Nic j. At the end, for the NLDS, nobody thinks on the unconvincing wins.
I'm just hoping were not last years angels. Come from behind wins all year. Then the playoffs come and they can't buy a clutch hit, but we have manny so that's a big difference.
Ah WTF Rex hudler on the post game show? LAME!
Why do we get the FS Live show with Rex Hudler behind the desk? We WON the game! Why should we be punished?
