Carlos Monasterios (3-4, 3.54) vs. Kyle Kendrick (8-7, 4.64).

COMMENTS: CARLOS MONASTERIOS IS THE FUTURE OF THIS ORGANIZATION, Mr. LA Sports Fan likes to trumpet, but what is Monasterios' true future with the Dodgers? The club has juggled him between the bullpen and starting rotation all season — more out of necessity than indecision. Yet modern baseball thinking suggests that players, especially young pitchers, thrive in defined roles. Monasterios has done everything asked of him as a rookie; will the Dodgers give him some definition in 2011?

Itty-Bitty Soul Patch was in the lineup at 2nd, but was pulled. I haven't heard why.
Heard this: Lilly and Kuroda both claimed off waivers, but Dodgers pulled both back. Pod Rays claimed Hiro and multiple teams, incl Yankmes, claimed Lilly.
@Josh
I assume it was because IBSP was shaken up a bit on that pay with Werth last night and he might be feeling it.
WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE SOUL PATCH?!
On the comments section of MLBTR, somebody actually said "Stupid Ned." My parody has grown into reality.
I think ih8Colletti needs to start following more people. Ken Levine, for one.
So...
How is it that Juan Pierre can't get rid of Manny or Andruw?
So if you're lonely
You know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken, shattered, I lie
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot, then we can die
I know I won't be leaving here with you
I say don't you know
You say you don't go
I say... take me out!
I think hamels has lice in his beard.
if anyone would like my tickets for tomorrow you are welcome to them.
I'd go if I were in LA and had time.
@Paul: That reminds me of one of my prouder fanboy moments.
This fire is out of control!
@Mr. C: That will be a giant banner that says "Salary Relief" tomorrow.
Of course I have no idea who that is.
@Josh
I won't lie, I thought about photoshoping a $100 bill as the "after"
Sippin on gin and juice in loge, Vinny!
@Mr. F: That's Alex Kapranos, lead singer of Franz Ferdinand.
More weird, angry anti-Manny spin from EK on TBTV.
I don't get it.
Cool. Thanks Josh S.
Epale everyone!
Monasterios, I know you're going to pitch a "mi amor con te quiero" game
Epale, Karina!
Greetings Everyone!!
I'm at my mom's house so I'm having to split time between the Dodgers and the US Open
I'll try to keep up!
Greetings, Karen!
@Josh.
That is awesome! Where was that?
@Mr. F.
Don't get Alex Kapranos confused with Alex Spanos owner of the San Diego Chargers.
Or the band Franz Ferdinand with the actual Archduke of Austia who I believe took a picture with Mr. C and Neeebs back in the day.
sPods!
The house just played Beasties' Intergalactic before Dodgers at bat. Mr C and I just passed out from the sheet ecstasy of the moment.
Cc: FB
Cc: Paul
I'm sure DB had that picture with the Archduke. He was a sprightly 600 something then.
YAY MATTY!!
Well now don't you tell me to smile
You stick around, I'll make it worth your while
Got numbers beyond what you can dial
Maybe it's because I'm so versatile
Style, profile, I said
It always brings me back when I hear Ooh Child
From the Hudson River out to the Nile
I run the marathon to the very last mile
Well if you battle me I will revile
People always say my style is wild
You've got gall, you've got guile
To step to me I'm a rap-o-phile
RBI for FJL
@Paul
Backstage at the Greek 5 years ago. Sadly, I haven't been able to see them live since.
Yay RWI!
Never met FF, but I could tell you stories of the one night we went our bar-hopping with Gavrillo Princip.
@Paul:
MC and I were there the day FF was assassinated. I predicted peace. I lost that bet.
@DB did you sneak in some extra-adult beverages?
1 measly run? I'll take it, but damn.
Monks, I said "mi amor con te quiero"
Can't blame monny. He really shouldn't even be in the majors now.
Fuck the Phillies catchers!!! Bastards. All of them!!
So say we all.
@Paul I'd say the entire organization
@Neeebs
Sounds like a vague prediction. You might be able to claim victory now.....then defeat.....then victory....
Anyone else notice that the Phillies Pitching Coach is named Doobee?
a terrible thought just entered my head. I know it wouldn't happen, but how awful would it be if the Dodgers gave up on Monster and sent him back after he'd been up almost all year?
You wanna be careful with that sheet ecstasy. Could be laced.
Whatever happened to using Weav as a spot starter?
i doubt it FB, rosters expand tomorrow.
He is ours to keep. Probably going to be pitching for the loons next year.
dammitall Joe, let him pitch!
at this point weaver would probably only have like 30 pitches before he got tired. He just came off the DL.
They should have called up Ely instead of tron.
@Nic, i know they wouldnt do it, I just got a shiver thinking about how stupid they are sometimes, and that would be remarkably stupid
yeah, tron still gives up the longball.
Tron STILL sucks?
I'd have to say: Mono.
that's our Tronny
*sigh*
DAMMIT
Someone from the Game thread needs to be here to kick Dusty and I under the table. Karina has first dibs, I think.
what really sucks is the if anyone else was pitching tonight we would have probably won because Kendrick blows.
Tronny makes me miss Cory Wade
I have a strong urge to call the Cory Hotline.
torre will leave a bench full of ruined arms in his wake.
It's only the third inning and they are playing at home
It's totally winnable
@Dusty Baker @Mr Ckicking and pinching your arms.Behave, boys!
Gory. Story. Allegory. Montessori.
It's bad when they IBB Schneider
well they have a shot to get back into it, because kendrick blows.
i just hope they dont start having their usual crappy at bat when they fall behind.
To Dusty: http://yfrog.com/f1ksgdj
I HOPE THE GIN WAS GOOD, DUSTY!
Great coversation with Grandpa Paul:
GP: this team is horrific. Tron is still trying to get that flat fastball by people. He was doing that in March. Isn't he suppose to adjust.
P: I think it is cause he can't. He sucks Dead arm maybe.
GP: well I am watching the Giants game.
P: Hey maybe they will have an incredible Philly like comeback.
GP: maybe......
Silence for 5 seconds....
GP and P: Hahahahahahaha
GP: ciao.
Making fun of my favorite team is fun....no it is really sad.
Time to switch to the US Open. Rafa is on.
I went to a game two years ago where the Dodgers trailed Philly 6-1 after two innings, and they still managed to come from behind. Of course, that team had Manny.
And a reason to play.
he's dreamy
and he looks slow tonight
yeah a little. Its weird a person can look like superman on clay and mortal on the hardcourt.
who's dreamy, Fred's Brim?
mortal, meaning still the second best (sometimes the best) player in tennis? :)
Thx for the XX, Karina.
yeah, Fred's Brim is dreamy!
I meant Rafa actually. I am far from dreamy
very well may be the best. Im not sure what is wrong with Feds, getting old i guess.
dodgers arent really helping themselves tonight.
yeah I think he's feeling his age a bit (he's been killing people for sooo long). I still expect him to win every time, but he's sliding back towards the field
I think Mrs Fred's Brim thinks you're dreamy.
To tell the truth, Nadal is not dreamy,imho.
BUT THE FLOWING LOCKS OF HAIR, KARINA, THE FLOWING LOCKS OF HAIR
Does Nadal wash the hair?
@karina I sure hope she does!
If I was a lady, I think i'd like Rafa, at least for his green shoes
Rafa's hair is washed with angel tears, MR F.
HOW IS THAT NOT DREAMY?
@Mr LASF I can't stop laughing.I'm not much into long hair, it depends, but on Nadal's case is a NO
what's up with these Spanish men?for example, Enrique Iglesias looks like he always needs a shower
How does the ball keep going to Belliard?
And Dylan Hernandez is back on V-energy. Hooray.
too much tapas
Slow night, Mr LASF. We've been discussing Nadal's flowing locks of hair, washed with angel tears.
Good one, NicJ
for some reason when i hear rafa speak i think of Andy Kaufman.
Did you say you think Paul's gramps is dreamy, FB?
jansen hitting?
JANSEN'S FIRST AB
Kenley walked the other day didn't he?
that was technically just a plate appearance because it was a walk.
and theres a hit.
when you say Andy Kauffman, I think on "Andy Kauffman in a wrestling match, yeah yeah yeah yeah..."
HE GETS A HIT, HALLELUJAH!!!!
convert him back to a catcher, he can hit now!!
I know he was a terrible hitter as a catcher, but he's probably still better than Ellis (sorry, Josh)
Grampa Paul is more hot than dreamy
Kelly Jansen, HITTING MACHINE.
Ugh. Too tired to spell correctly =(
"if you believe they put a man on the moon, man on the moon, if you believe there's nothing up my sleeve, then nothing is cool"
if Michael Stipe says so, I believe so
he might have a little Irish in him MR F.
phillies are shaking in their boots. one run closer.
Here I've been ignoring the GT because I was watching the US Open and you guys were there the whole time talking about Rafa's sweaty hair and his dreaminess/not dreaminess.
I vote dreamy.
^believed
Come on Dre.
Karen, he's not dreamy as Peter Sampras.There was another australian player but I can't remember his last name
vin never saw a beach ball when he was on the east coast.
Ive never seen a beach ball at the beach. Wouldnt that shit just blow away? Its windy at the beach.
don't you be stepping to my man, karen!
Karina--Was it Patrick Rafter?
so Jansen was just a pinch hitter? WTF?
speaking of dreamy...
Patrick Rafter! he can't be blood and flesh, he's too perfect
@FB Huh? (re: Ellis)
@Karen between Nadal and Rafter, whom would you choose?
@karina Rafter I can understand, but not Pete
PATRICK RAFTER :)
The score is Phillies 6-Dodgers 2
;)
@Josh I think of you as an Ellis supporter. Is that not right?
Karen, I feel embarrassed to have this girl talk in here :(
Caroline Wozniacki's dress doesn't cover much downstairs
Gullickson is my new favorite tennis player.
this is my first time seeing her.
@Fred's Brim Sampras looks very manly , that's his appeal
@FB Not by trade, no. I did like that he named his son Luke Joshua, though.
I go to the game for 1 evening and it devolves into tennis talk around here?
Karina When God makes perfection like Patrick Rafter I'll talk about it anywhere :)
Sorry guys
SONS OF MCENROE!!
Grandpa is dreamy! If you mean he falls asleep a lot.
I for one am perfectly comfortable being around girls chatting about physically perfect guys who could pummel me without breaking a sweat or ruining their perfect hair.
@Mr C it's not even real tennis talk, it's how attractive tennis players are
Kemp hit one hard that wasn't an out?!! Justice!!!!
just kick them in the knee MR F. Tennis players usually have bad knees.
haha, or the elbow.
@Nic, if you lined up Wozniacki and Gullickson and told me one was from Denmark and the other was from the US, I would have guessed Wozniacki was the American
Mr F--That's one of the reasons we think so highly of you here!
How many homeruns does Lames Loney have this year?
@karen whatever happened to him?
he's perfect
@FB, thats the truth.
haha paul, reverse jinx.
he is on pace to hit his 13 again.
WOOHOO KING JAMES!!!
HOORAY FOR OFFENSIVE & DEFENSIVE PIECE OF SHIT!!!
@Mr F if you mean you're skinny, skinny guys have lots of charm!
:)
Free James with the powerful forehand!
Ha ha!!
He is now Lames Loney. Civil petition will be filed by me.
I think my gamecast is broken. It says James Loney hit a home run. I know that is not possible.
you know you are coming out of a game when Loney goes deep off you.
GOD SAVE KING JAMES!
I'm dry humping Loney now.
Well, I'm reasonably lean, but I wouldn't call myself skinny =X.
Karina--He's somewhere in the Outback making women incredibly happy
*sighs*
Hey Dusty, his Royal Highness has to be respected
@DB that's not Loney, that's Mr C
Poor Mr. C.
@Paul I don't know about your grandpa, but my grandma is hot, she's even modeling!
I thought Weaver was our Royal Highness?
@Mr C do you need help with Dusty?
Belli2 hit that hard
did Ibanez get a concussion from that?
now we have to see some pictures, karina.
I was going to say something but I'm stunned to silence by the talk of tennis guys.
*disapparates*
Mary Jo Fernandez telling the Wozniaki/Yale Football Team story is making me giggle right now
when your baseball team sucks you have to find other things to talk about.
College football starts soon.
Gullickson just can't get a game. Coming close each time.
I still can't see Mutual of Omaha (behind home plate) without thinking of The Middleman. I miss that show.
Fresno State vs Cinn sat night
Take the over!!!!
@NicJ just one pic because she could kill me (this is for a video, when the video is online, I'll post links everywhere)
http://es.tinypic.com/r/2duza8l/7
when did Werth steal Sherrill's facial hair style?
me too Josh, i liked that show
What's wrong with tennis?
HE CAUGHT IT!!!
holy moly!
VIN IS IMPRESSED WITH SCOTTY PODS THAT IS THE FINAL WORD
What a catch by Scotty P.
Holy balls, what a catch!
Karina, who is hotter: your abuelita or CarGo's mom?
Sweeeet defensive play by Scotty pods
Karina--Your grandma looks lovely
The TOWN
Good old George Sherrill
This is my The TOWN
I had tix to tonight's game and sold them.
Sigh.
How is it, Dusty?
remember when sherrill have up the HR to ibanez in the playoffs?
that sucked.
My grandma, obviously. She had six children, she has no cosmetical surgeries, she's always perfect head to toes and is super healthy.She also looks like 10 years younger
CarGo's mom looks very good too.
This is my town: Dodger World.
Dusty, did you decide on mr c as your date?
This game is winnable
just hit him in the head please.
This Is my town: town drunk
@Karina: agreed! There's this dreadlocked guy who would be perfect in a PH situation...
Oh.
Crap, Ruiz.
bringing in broxton to pitch to ruiz? REALLY?
i don't want to watch this
