rbnlaw said...: Hard to believe Tulo is a 49er. Dirtbag, yes, especially with that hair.
But 49er?; 8/18/2010 9:30 PM
spank said...: Guacamaya!; 8/18/2010 9:30 PM
karina said...: @NicJ on CarGo's defense, he runs everything down when he plays every team, he's that good and you know it.; 8/18/2010 9:30 PM

MR.F said...: Lol @ DB and Paul.; 8/18/2010 9:34 PM

Josh S. said...: Brox in.; 8/18/2010 9:34 PM
karina said...: @Josh along with my fellow season ticket holders, I am the founder of "Carlos Gonzalez fan club".We yelled a lot at the manager and coaches to put him on the starting lineup.

Once someone told him that story, shook my hand, said thank you and told me to stay there because he wanted his mom to meet me.

(a long story going short); 8/18/2010 9:35 PM
rbnlaw said...: So last year the Lost Angels of Brea had all of their batters in the line-up over .300.

The Dodgers have a chance, in a few more AB's, to have all batters in the line-up under .300. Epic.

Let's get back to this one.; 8/18/2010 9:35 PM
MR.F said...: I have enjoyed the good use of "Let's get back to this one" in this thread.; 8/18/2010 9:36 PM
Josh S. said...: They showed Z Lee watching from a suite. Punk. Who watches from a fucking suite?; 8/18/2010 9:36 PM
Paul said...: Dodgers need 1.21 jigawatts to get this offense going.

Why are you guys talking about that Arcade Fire No Cars Go.

Damn Gibby gets a hit and they take him out.; 8/18/2010 9:37 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Karina

Paul said...: You can't out Kemp Kemp!; 8/18/2010 9:39 PM
karina said...: @Dusty Baker there were 5 of us,originally. Given that we seat right next to the Aguilas dugout, we could do that.

One of the highlights of my life would be CarGo telling me: "you're the girl who comes to every game"; 8/18/2010 9:41 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Was that 10 year old girl waving her panties at Ethier after his catch?

Or was that you, Josh?; 8/18/2010 9:41 PM
karina said...: Ethier giving CarGo a run for his money ;); 8/18/2010 9:41 PM

My pops wouldn't even come to my games and would get drunk instead.

And he was the coach!; 8/18/2010 9:43 PM
karina said...: @Rbnlaw same as Evan Longoria.That university athletic teams have the best nickname.

rbnlaw said...: @karina.
They do. It's a badge of honor at CSULB.
My friend's son plays 1st at Fullerton, so we're not big 49er fans.

I'm sure you can find Dirtbag attire on their site.; 8/18/2010 9:47 PM
karina said...: @Spank lol, his mom goes every game in Maracaibo because she lives there,she doesn't sit in the players' family area and it's reached a point lots of people know she's CarGo's mother.From what the radio announcers say, she and his dad even go to some road series.

She was there,along with his brother, when CarGo hit the cycle, so there's a possibility she is at Dodger Stadium tonight.Hope he's allright.; 8/18/2010 9:48 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Spank

We need to fire your dad as our hitting coach.; 8/18/2010 9:48 PM
Paul said...: Ahhh I miss the old Big West teams.; 8/18/2010 9:48 PM
