MR.F said...: Nice!; 4/16/2010 10:14 PM
Orel said...: Andre wrote the PGT for me.; 4/16/2010 10:14 PM
Josh S. said...: A good laugh after the bullpain.; 4/16/2010 10:14 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Are there any relievers on the market this season (aside from perennial trade-bait Heath "Taco" Bell) that would be worth a look?; 4/16/2010 10:14 PM
MR.F said...: Troncoso only threw 5 pitches at least.; 4/16/2010 10:17 PM
NicJ said...: we cant afford it.; 4/16/2010 10:17 PM
Neeebs (The Original) said...: The end of this game was embarrasing; 4/16/2010 10:18 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Actually, a few interesting closers in their last year, including Brian Fuentes (vesting option), Matt Capps, Trevor Hoffman (mutual option), Jason Frasor, Frank Francisco, and Rafael Soriano.

Kiko Calero, JJ Putz, and Saito-san are also impending free agents.; 4/16/2010 10:18 PM
Kyle Baker said...: "hosted party for at-risk youth."

*chuckle*; 4/16/2010 10:19 PM
NicJ said...: BTW, did anyone happen to notice the the large souvenir size drink at DS is just a paper cup now? We cant even afford souvenir cups anymore!; 4/16/2010 10:20 PM
Neeebs (The Original) said...: When Belly and Kuo come back, Russ and Ramon are GONE; 4/16/2010 10:20 PM
NicJ said...: The guys from AEG are getting into the the Los Angeles football team business? Wow, they get shit done when they want to.; 4/16/2010 10:24 PM
Unknown said...: Can Ethier pitch in relief? We can really use some relief. Rolaids?; 4/16/2010 10:25 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Loving that new (old) downtown NFL idea. Cue old self-interested local pols who will kill it in favor of a POS plan to renovate the Coliseum.; 4/16/2010 10:25 PM
Kyle Baker said...: 'Dre- thanks for walking my dog tonight. You da man!

NicJ said...: The Coli sucks.

If anyone could get a stadium built in LA its the guys from AEG. They did the whole LA Live/Staples Center area.; 4/16/2010 10:27 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: A stadium downtown would be much better than in Industry, especially as it would be available via public transportation.; 4/16/2010 10:30 PM
NicJ said...: That would be all 4 major sports teams playing in the actual city of Los Angeles. Pretty crazy. Usually teams are just moved to a surrounding suburb.; 4/16/2010 10:30 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Of course it would take much longer than the Industry stadium to build, what with the planning, designing, destruction of the hall of the Convention Center, and actual construction of a stadium. The Industry stadium just needs a tenant.; 4/16/2010 10:33 PM
NicJ said...: No team is moving till there is a new CBA in place anyways.; 4/16/2010 10:36 PM
NicJ said...: hey were tied for second in the west. YAY!!!!; 4/16/2010 10:43 PM
Steve Sax said...: Embarrassing to give up a five-spot in the ninth, but a win is a win. Way to go Blue!; 4/16/2010 10:44 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: It's a three-way tie.; 4/16/2010 10:45 PM
Kyle Baker said...: MMMMMmmmmm.....three way....; 4/16/2010 10:47 PM
NicJ said...: I think lost in the whole offensive explosion was the fact that Padilla pitched very well. Well minus one pitch to the skull or rowand.

Hope the dude is Ok, btw; 4/16/2010 11:00 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Anyone else going to the Yard tomorrow?; 4/16/2010 11:01 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Yeah, Rowand's probably going to try out that phat helmet when he comes back. Hopefully soon. Never like seeing guys take one to the skull.; 4/16/2010 11:02 PM
NicJ said...: Nah, im going to sundays game. I really would have liked to see Haeger pitch.; 4/16/2010 11:02 PM
karen said...: We are finally a 500 baseball team...Despite our bullpen; 4/16/2010 11:03 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Zack Greinke has a tiny head; 4/16/2010 11:05 PM
NicJ said...: Yesterday when i was leaving the game (i left in the 9th when sherrill loaded the bases and i saw Ortiz coming in) i heard some slightly intoxicated gent asking some poor vendor if they could put three extra fingers on a foam finger because that where we were going to end up this year, fourth place. Then he walked awat and was chanting "4th place" as he walked away.; 4/16/2010 11:07 PM
NicJ said...: The Dodgers are 2-0 when i leave the game early btw. So i feel partially responsible for the win last night.
Both were Dre walk offs too.; 4/16/2010 11:08 PM
Steve Sax said...: Missed the Rowand pitch. Hope he's ok. Did it hit husskull, or just his bill of the cap (as espn reports)?; 4/16/2010 11:09 PM
NicJ said...: it looked like it was where the Bill meets the earflap.; 4/16/2010 11:10 PM
Steve Sax said...: ^ his skull; 4/16/2010 11:10 PM
Bryan said...: I live near Industry, so i'm hoping for the stadium to be built there.

I'm going to the game on sunday. I posted on facebook to see if any of my friends wanted to go, and now I'm going with Giants fans. This is what I get for going to school in Norcal.; 4/16/2010 11:13 PM
NicJ said...: why are people calling into dodgertalk with angry billingsley calls?; 4/16/2010 11:16 PM
NicJ said...: Bryan- make sure you point out the world series banners up on the walls.; 4/16/2010 11:21 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Because people are morons.; 4/16/2010 11:21 PM
NicJ said...: The only person that attracts more unjust hate from fans might be Bynum.; 4/16/2010 11:23 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: I think with the recent play Bynum's getting even more love.; 4/16/2010 11:25 PM
NicJ said...: Chock Full O' Nuts would have been more appropriate. It being jackie robinson day part two.; 4/16/2010 11:30 PM
Greg said...: I was at the game. Slash (aka Saul Hudson) played the National Anthem and God Bless America. Both renditions were embarrassingly bad. Along with the unhelpful California Lottery facts and funniest home videos, the atmosphere at the stadium seems muted and resigned to a mediocre season. I don't like it one bit.; 4/16/2010 11:32 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: I hate reading the comments on MCC. It's like a strange mixture of bitterness, depression, and middle-school maturity.; 4/16/2010 11:38 PM
NicJ said...: at least they are doing stupid dot races every half inning like at the Giants park, shit gets old fast.; 4/16/2010 11:39 PM
NicJ said...: MLASF, Agreed. It has more of a basketball GT feel to it.; 4/16/2010 11:40 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Now I go to bed. See everyone bright and early for the FOX game tomorrow.; 4/16/2010 11:43 PM
NicJ said...: It looks like Rowand has some facial fractures, which sucks.

WIth that note guess who has the most success against Knuckleball pitchers, Rowand (11-17 against wakefield); 4/17/2010 1:07 AM
