What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

Just a day off for Ellis?

Sorry – that’s a mistake. Fixing now.

No big deal, I just thought Sellers was getting a start
Rock Well
Against my better judgement… I’m excited to watch Bills pitch tonight.

Ryan Hindinger
I know how you feel. What if he gives up 11 home runs this time out?

I hope Bills pitches well tonight.

Jon, do you see any situation at all in which the Guggenheim group, better known as the Magic group, might not be approved by the Bankruptcy court and ultimately be denied full approval? The reason I say this is that the NY Times article of yesterday from Sorkin, I believe, is very ominous. I wish I could find the link, but perhaps you already had it up. I still think there could be problems getting approval on this. What is your take?

In a statement, one of Guggenheim’s regulators, Stephen W. Robertson, the Indiana commissioner of insurance, said: “Guggenheim’s past dealings with the Indiana Department of Insurance have demonstrated to us that the company and its representatives are of the highest integrity, and we have not taken exception to any interest Guggenheim may have in the Los Angeles Dodgers, nor do we plan to do so.”

I’m no insider, but I don’t see anything to stop the sale.

I know this is probably an ignorant question, but I am on the East coast and would like to stream the Dodger radio broadcasts. I know that I could buy the MLB package, but that’s more money than I can spend. Is there a way to get them free, or for a modest fee? Thank you for any help!
Anonymous
The MLB AtBat app runs $15 for the season or $2.99 per month and has all radio broadcasts, if you have a phone/tablet/Kindle Fire.

I believe I paid either $15 or $20 for MLB Audio, and considering it gives access to all games of every team for a whole season (including playoffs) – that seems like a relativity modest fee.
Elizabeth Efird
Thank you! I had MLB Audio in years past, but didn’t see that it was still available. ChemicalMachine, thanks to you, too.
Ryan Grady
IHeartRadio or TuneIn apps would I think allow you to tune in to 570am to listen to local dodger broadcasts.
Anonymous
Licensing issues with MLB won’t allow you to listen to radio broadcasts of games on the apps. Usually they’ll just play music during the game.

Lincecum yanked after 2 and a third against the Rockies after giving up 6 earned. His ERA is up to 12.91.

Where’s the game? At least on DirecTV, the Clippers are on Prime Ticket, and will be for a while.

I know it’s been talked about before, but what does everyone think of Steve Lyons? I’ve sort of grown to be okay with Steiner and Monday, but when he teams up with Lyons, it just pains me.
underdog
I’m not crazy about any of them but Steiner is at least a likable guy, can be decent. Monday is erratic and a bit dull. Yeah, Lyons is blathery and wrong a lot.
Anonymous
I like Lyons the best. He actually has some interesting insight, even if he repeats it too often. Steiner is a little homer-ish for my liking, and I can’t stand that he thinks every fly ball is a long ball. Ross just seems dull to me. I just think I will forever be spoiled growing up listening to the best ever.
Anonymous
Call me the old grouch on the porch but I will personally never forgive Lyons for his idiotic statements about the fans during the strike.
Anonymous
We are definitely a spoiled bunch. For me even to the point of being annoyed by a two-man team in general.

So if VMart comes back this season after all, as is rumored, the Tigers will give us Fielder then, right? It’s only fair.

Btw, 9-7 Rox now, still batting.In the FOURTH.Assuming that won’t be the final score.

Juan Uribe hit three HR from April 21-29 last year. Then another on June 20. He has one HR in his last 210 AB.
Anonymous
All I can really remember are the 13 double plays he’s grounded into in that time. It’s felt like a lot more.
Jon Weisman
Nice uan, Jone.

I’m pretty happy that I can be seen yelling for Ethier during his curtain call on the replays of his HR yesterday.

Tied up.

Awesome line-drive 6-3 DP to get Billingsley out of jam. Ball wasn’t hit that hard, went to just the right spot.

Via Twitter, Rox were 20/32 thru 5 innings (.625). Amazing.

Speaking of hitting, that Dre fella’s pretty good.

I disagree with this move.
Jon Weisman
I would have liked Loney subbing for Rivera in the seventh in the No. 5 slot for defense.
Jon Weisman
But hell, let’s see if Loney can get his first hit before Billingsley.

Sigh. Wasted opportunity. I’m struggling with my feelings for Loney as much as he is struggling at the plate.

Wait! I take it back. It wasn’t a move to pinch hit to get more runs – it was a sly move to get Uribe out of the game. Brilliant!

Between innings, this is a must-see:

Let’s just hope Kasten will replace the black holes at the corners as fast as they possibly can
Anonymous
Is Erik Bedard as good as Corey Luebke? Over the last three years, his stats are slightly better against righties? But is there any left-handed pitcher against whom Loney can start?
underdog
WOW. Kenley Jansen. I think he’s back, perhaps? He just made the Pirates’ pinch-hitter look like he was new to baseball.

Well done Dodgers! Keep building momentum and some good team vibes…

Nice, efficient close.
Our next starter won’t be named “Kershaw” or “Billingsley”, though. So keep the popcorn handy.
