I believe ya.
On the other hand, I've thought about it, and now I want him to be stuck at 19, purely for schadenfreude reasons.
If it weren't for the solace of the game threads, these last few games would seem like a real chore to get through.
Lower back strain SS
Plantar Fasciitis 2B
Broken pinky RF
Hamstring cramp 1B
Lower back spasms CF
Broken hand 3B
Calf strain LF
Labral tear C
Bulging disk P
Lineup culled from this list.
(I don't even remember Manny's sore toe.)
The dreaded sore calf has taken another victim: Jay Gibbons.
Are these guys not stretching?
Becerros malos?
For the record, I know they're the other kind.
Jesus H, it's quiet around here.
Yeah, a little too quiet.
What's there to talk about?
Dunno if this has been mentioned yet, but Jon Weisman points out:
The worst teams in baseball since the All-Star break:
24-43, .358 Kansas City
24-43, .358 Seattle
25-42, .373 Pittsburgh
26-42, .382 Los Angeles
28-39, .418 New York Mets
28-39, .418 Washington
It's hoooooootttttt...
How hot is it?
Suck it, Frank.
Greetings All!
I know the Pods are playing the Cubbies today. Are the hated ones off?
This guy is genius.
@DodgersGM
Finished batting practice here in Colorado. Kemp went 0-4 with 3 Ks and a caught stealing. #Dodgers #Rockies #MLB
Apparently power is out in some parts of LA right now. We in Anaheim are cranking the AC and using our electric ovens at the same time.
@MLASF
What's your caption?
It's so hot, the team is crowding around Matt Kemp during batting practice just to feel the rush of air after each whiff.
Wait, they're in Denver? Dammit.
There goes the no-hitter, Ubaldo!
The game started? Wow, I AM that apathetic.
It's okay Mr. LASF. I'm just pathetic.
"what's there to talk about?"
Like it stopped us before.
We take the lead. Woo.
A lead? The hell?
I see what you all mean with Vin and his love of all things Tulowitzki.
Epale everyone!
just came home, busy day and I woke up late, I've been in a rush all day!
howdy yall
Ubaldo looks like Drake
you mean, Drake who was Jimmy in Degrassi? yeah, I watch Degrassi, so what?
#guiltypleasures
i was always an Ellie fan. She and Sean were a good couple
Beardorama!
Sean helped Ellie to be the awesome girl she became, that couple rocked, but nothing like Liberty and JT </3 :_(
Epale Karina!
Howdy FB!
RIP JT!!!
Good evening, Karen!
ooh I saw JT in this commercial the other day
Cargo gets a hold of one!
damn that CarGo and his inflated Coors Field stats.
My Gameday says Carlos Gonzalez in play (runs). Does it mean he hit a HR?
damn that CarGo and his inflated facing-Ted-Lilly-throwing-meatballs stats.
@Karina--Yep, that's what it means
NicJ, are you trying to pick up a fight with me? ;)
He has 26 homers in Denver! As Timmeh would say, fucking juiced ball's bullshit.
Fred's Brim: is that really JT? he actually looks younger.
I cried like a baby in the episode of JT's memorial. I also cried in the episode when most of the gang graduated from Degrassi,when Emma and Liberty fought over Derek, they made up and then went with Manny and Toby to JT's commemorative place and made a little graduation ceremony, just for him :_(
Dre, my pinky is better than yours :)
rodgers with the garbage INT.
excellent.
I could be wrong but I swear that is Flo in the new episode of House
It is Flo!
Kemp'd
I know what you mean, karina - so sad :( I was shocked when JT got stabbed, and I don't get shocked by TV shows
I was actually disappointed with the graduation episode - it should have been a 2-hour movie. We just watched them go from 7th grade through 12th grade and they just rushed through it.
They were too focused on the newer characters. They should have given them the episode off and dedicated it to friends we made over the past 6 years.
Clinging to the 2-1 lead, and unless Matt Forte loses his mind, I'm toast.
@karina what is up with your pinkie? are you turning into a smurf?
can we switch back to where it says Dodgers on our road jerseys?
Oh, come on...
Orel is firing up the Degrassi thread now
right on
Jay Hogarth was the best character on the show
@Fred's Brim from what I know, they started making Degrassi movies with the new characters. You're right, they just let go those characters too easy. For starters, I think we could have much more of Paige, Ashley, Ellie and Marco (can't get enough from the last two).
I haven't seen those movies, we're a couple of seasons behind in Latin America, because MTV stopped broadcasting Degrassi. It's not on Nickelodeon LA either.
I have my fingers crossed that I can watch those movies in the channel where I can watch Degrassi. I do know Emma and Spinster got married in a nice wedding and Manny performed there.
I was like OMG OMG OMG
I thought this was the Degrassi thread.
Steiner and Monday getting the giggles.
Emma and Spinner? WTF? I totally missed that. Last I saw, Spinner was with Jane
Orel is firing up the Degrassi thread now
Jay rocks, I'm so pulling he and Manny get together again. Don't tell me!
Sorry Sax and Mr C, but I never get to talk about Degrassi with anyone.I wonder why (rhetorical question)
Jay is awesome. That episode where Emma "earns" her wristbands, I almost fell out of my chair
No worries, I'm just teasing, K.
Is Wallach up from Albuquerque now?
Theriot sucks.
Bill from Freaks and Geeks is on Hawaii 5-0
I'm more interested in the Degrassi thread than the Dodger game.
@Sax - you got that right
@Fred's Brim it was on the last movie.I also know they got married first on Vegas, a sort of a drunk spur of the moment thing. I don't know much because I don't know how those two were in Vegas in the first place. I mean, it's a long way from Canada...
I'm loving Jane right now...let's leave it like that.
You know what couple needed more quality time on screen? Paige and Alex
OMG, why don't you go and start a Degrassi blog?
I'm not comfortable with a 2-1 lead in late innings.
ooh definitely! I always liked Alex - she was mean like Jay but she came around too
I know nothing about Degrassi. I feel so old :(
Fred's Brim, we had elections yesterday in Venezuela. We have our pinkies tinted to avoid "fraud". Isn't it like that in the US?
@Karina - Then you really shouldn't be rooting for a team with a terrible bullpen and offense.
Lilly really only at 81 pitches? Maybe we won't have to see the bullpen
We still have to see the terrible offense.
@karina
Nope, the polling workers just mark your name on the voter registry, at least in California.
no win for ubaldo!!
sucker.
@Mr LASF it's too late to root for another team...I'll be always a Dodgers fan and I do want them to win all the games.
@karina, so are people in Venezuela without hands allowed to vote?
@karina - they don't take election fraud as seriously here in the US ;)
that's cool the ink was Dodger blue!
@Mr C that's incredible. Besides the tinted pinkies, we get to stamp out thumbs TWICE, first time it's registered electronically before we enter the voting place. Then we stamp the thumb on ink and leave our signature, before we vote. After voting, you get your pinky tinted and still there's fraud :(
We just cut directly to electronic voter fraud here.
@NicJ that's a great question. On paper, they should be able to vote but I don't know how they could register the vote, given you need your hands throughout the process. I'm going to find out the answer.
Who's running the government?
Tammany Hall
"you need your hands throughout the process"
I think Bishop Eddie Long was accused of saying the same thing.
Mr.C--and hanging chads
Tammy Hall? I went to high school with her. Who knew she'd become so important?
@karen
I distinguish between fraud and incompetence, but yes.
I think Boss Tweed plays for the Football Giants.
@karen btw, you are not old because you do not watch Degrassi. Fred's Brim and I are immature adults who enjoy teenage soap operas :)
Stoopid Bears.
Matt, Matt, Matt...
Kemp'd yet again
Dotel makes me sick. I just reminds me of this stupid season and those dumbass trades
LFP has a pic of the Dodgers strikeout leaders.
Kemp is second between Kershaw and Billz
Karina--Thank you...I feel better now!!
Degrassi and 19th c. machine politics. With a bit of baseball thrown in. Just another night at SoSG.
@Spanky it's better I don't give you an answer. Answer is full of hate and frustration. It's the only thing that makes me curse like a sailor .
Anyway, I'm confident this is until 2012. In my state, we voted 13 congressmen out of the 16 possible places. Go Zulia!
It gets even stranger when the ward bosses join the kids from Degrassi and play baseball.
@karen - there is no age limit on Degrassi!
Balls. Unless something drastic happens, I'll see you at 1-2 tomorrow, MLASF.
@ Karina
My heart goes out to you and your Peeps from Venezuela
did we ever find out the PTBNL on the Dotel trade?
I hope its Tulo.
My Bishop Eddie Long jokes and I will be waiting, Mr C.
NOOOOOOOOO stupid bears are giving the ball back to rodgers too quick!!!!!
Blake with the wheels.
the Rockies' equipment manager is at the souvenir stands buying baseballs for the bottom of the 9th
@Spanky thank you very much!hopefully this nightmare has a date of expiration. Let's see what happens in the next 100 days, before the new Congressional period starts.
doble Barba! :)
nice bunt, now get him home!
Apodaca.
I'm watching Chuck now, if anyone wishes to engage in banter.
why doesn't Jim Tracy get blamed for the Rockies taking the first half off every season?
is Chuck the one with the guy named Charles in it?
I always thought Nicole Eggert was cute
attaboy AJ!
@karen to our credit, Kevin Smith is a huge fan of the show and he even starred in a few episodes. Classic TV for me.
This Degrassi is a sequel from an eponymous series in the 80's.
It's addictive, I tell you and I should shut up because I don't wanna look like a geek, or is it too late for that? ;)
I'll be damned.
Hey Hey! More Runs
@karen - DVR a few episodes and watch a few in a row - you will be hooked!
What was the delay? Coors-branded beach ball?
AJ Ellis,Bills and Kershaw (aka Public Enemy Number One) are the best thing about the Dodgers in a while.
Karina and FB--Did someone say that Degrassi is on MTV?
Joey B! I've missed you
@karen it was on MTV Latin America. That's where I started watching it, a while ago.In fact, that was the last show I watched there. I couldn't care less for that channel now (speaking of getting old)
@karen - they are on TeenNick a lot
who would of thought of all the RB's i have LDT is the only one who is healthy.
rats.
HCK time!
this should be a fun matchup
I like how Smackdown is on SyFy now. It's like they're embracing how fake it is.
there's a TuLo chant now?
HCK you are a nasty SOB
Dodgers win!
Ubal-D'oh!: Dodgers Deny Jimenez 20th Win
@MLASF
Don't get me started on SyFy, speaking of incompetence.
good win, everybody!
gnite all - off to dream about Manny Santos!
We make small party
Sharktopus was a masterpiece.
we make party!
I have Sharktopus recorded. I watched a little this morning. "OHHH NOOOO! NOT LIKE THIS!"
Can we make party?
@Fred's Brim hahahahahahahahahahaha you know how inappropriate, unpolitical correct and funny is that?
*runs out the front door naked holding a sea bass
@karen @Mr F there's no short excuse to make a party.
just because the title is what I feel about the Dodgers, the song drives me to the dancefloor and the performer is a mad genius:
Amor Verdadero-Willie Colon
A shark crossbred with an octopus? What could go wrong!
does it bother anyone else that you have to wait until tomorrow to set your fantasy lineup?
am i obsessed?
@NicJ I feel your pain too.
Now THAT is a fish with which a man can proudly run down the street starkers.
Stoopid Bears.
I still say you can't go wrong with Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.
Movie Gold
5 more wins for a .500 finish!
Huh. Maybe the guy rocking the Packers avatar should have watched the Packers game.
You would assume, Josh.
Who can argue with the brilliance that is Sharktopus? My disdain for SyFy is based on their desire to murder every promising series they produce in it's sleep.
The Wizards opened their training camp at midnight? weird.
Go AmMo!!
I should have known better than to ask Molly Knight a serious question. Fool me once...
crowd at the wizards camp seems to like ammo.
that helton joke wasnt even funny.
PGT up...Padres lose btw
Im a "dying" Colorado fan! Thought we would have another Rocktobe. Fort Collins Chiropractor
you wanted another Rocktobe, but you got knofed in the robs. Serves you right for being a Rockies fan who posts ads on blogs
