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.

I wonder how hard it is as a manager to keep everyone involved and interested once rosters expand, when basically there is more guys just sitting around
Anonymous
I think some of those guys will just be happy to be called up, and there’s always a role for relief pitchers during laughers. Position players will get early pinch-hitting opportunities.
It also reduces the frequency of Juan Uribe, and means Mattingly will have to worry about a short bench.

I hope to see a lot of laughers go the Dodgers’ way in September.

There should be three of them in early October.

KT: I worded for the LA Herald Examiner in the 70’s of course at the lowest level…I was a paperboy
KT: The L.A. Herald-Examiner had an excellent sports section — Bud Furillo, Merv Harris, Mel Durslag and others. As a p.m. paper, it took more of a reflective approach in its game stories on the Dodgers, Rams and Lakers. On the newsside, it was always nipping at the heels of the L.A. Times.
KT
The 1st section I always read right before folding all the papers to deliver…Loved their sports section much better than the times or the the San Gabriel Tribune which was a distant 3rd

According to MLBTR, the Yanquis think old friend Derek Lowe is worth signing.

Good hit Matty

Good hit Dre
Come on Hanley

Good FC Hanley
Come on James
Jeffrey Thomas III
I just turned the game on, did Hanley really dog it bad or is Lyons just ripping into him a bit too much?
KT
He dogged it because He thought the out was at second but he was still there in time
Jeffrey Thomas III
Thanks, you know how Lyons likes to go on about non issues all the time.
KT
Put it this way, the 1st baseman wasn’t even on the bag for the “turn” from the 2nd baseman
Anonymous
It’s a Lyons talking point. Hopefully the Guggenheimers will save us from this in future years.
KT
I have the Marlins feed today and tomorrow
Anonymous
Im going to take Lyons’ side. No reason at all for Hanley to jog down the line. It’s irrelevant that Lee wasn’t on the bag. It doesn’t matter that the throw went to second. It was an embarrassing lack of big league professionalism. I can see why Florida became sick of this guy. Now do you get on this guy now when he is safe or wait for him to get thrown out before throwing verbal punches at him? How about we throw Karros at him?
KT
Good inning Joe

Good hit Jerry come on AJ

Way to get on Mark
Come on Matty

Ball 4

And of course when it’s called a strike it’s going to make Matty fish for pitches like that…

Way out of the zone.

ESPN Gameday shows -1 for Marlins in first inning. That is some pitching by Blanton.

OK, that’s enough wasted opportunities for this game.

I’d love to find out in what percentage of his at bats Loney looks at a first pitch strike.

Not as high as AJ.
Jeffrey Thomas III
We should have tried to get Mike “Giancarlo” Stanton in that Marlins fire sale.

Come on Dre

Good hit Hanley

Yes WBB, we know.

There should be a hit and run called every time Loney is at the plate witha runner at first.
Anonymous
Even Collins and Lyons have finally realized how Donny waits around for the GIDP.

If they played Loney everyday he would be running away with the GIDP and runners left on base titles.
Anonymous
I wonder what the GIDP record is.

Jim Rice with 36 and Miguel Tejada with 32
Loney has 16 and it tied for the NL Lead now
Anonymous
Man, it would’ve been close if Loney played full time. Thanks for the info.

Fatsoval made a good run at it a couple years ago but then got injured.

It is sad to witness Loney’s continued decline. I think back to 2007 when he and Kemp seemed like a matched pair with big careers in front of both of them.

Good hit AJ

Joe came through! Now the hard part…

Six hits and no runs? Wassamatta these guys?

The single-season NL record for most strikeouts by a left-handed batter is 27, shared by Sean Casey (2005) and A.J. Pierzynski (2004). The AL record is 32 by Ben Grieve in 2000.

SORRY! I meant to say GIDPs. I just corrected it.

Ten of the Dodgers’ first 21 batters tonight have reached base.

Donnie fines Kemp for taking away the potential GIDP!

And immediately writes a bonus check to Hanley.

If I were a bitter guy I’d say Loney was muttering that that was HIS double-play Ramirez hit into. But I’m not a bitter guy.

Clearly, Blanton knows how to pitch to Stanton.
KT
Throw him a ball that he hammers foul then get on by him as he’s thinking “man I just missed that one”?

I can’t believe they scored Green’s ball a double. Hairston error all the way.

Kearns should be an automatic K.

Interesting game in Pittsburgh through 6 innings for Jason Marquis.
KT
As the miami announcer said “veteran pinch hitter in…Uribe” I’m thinking something good until the name was announced

Doesn’t he usually see three pitches?

Having wasted so many opportunities, the Dodgers shouldn’t be surprised by what is transpiring. Neither should we. For a team that began tonight tied for first, I find this year’s version of the Dodgers remarkably frustrating.

For a team whose talent clearly outclasses any other in the division, they are indeed frustrating.

Time to get to Bell

This is disheartening. Every pitcher on every team begins to look like a Cy Young winner when facing the Dodgers. Pitchers will be clamoring for the opportunity to pitch against them any day now.
KT
Come on Juan…Bring him in

Gameday: “singles on a ground ball to catcher AJ Ellis.”
How is that possible?
Anonymous
A dribbler up the third base line, which Ellis then threw away to give him an extra base.
Anonymous
League is cringe-worthy, but Ellis’s throw to first looked like one of Posey’s.
Jeffrey Thomas III
Yeah, League has not looked good at all.
Linkmeister
I’m done with this game. When even getting ten hits isn’t enough to win, why play?
Anonymous
League makes manageable deficits insurmountable.
Jeffrey Thomas III
I wish Donnie would have just given him his usual one batter, he can’t do too much damage with that.
Anonymous
League is simply a terrible relief pitcher.
Jeffrey Thomas III
They should have flipped him to Philly and kept Lindblom. Though I imagine the Phills are a bit smarter than that.
Anonymous
Especially since League makes more than 10 times as much as Lindblom

An unsurprising conclusion to a disappointing game. Let’s go get them tomorrow.

After watching the first two innings, I had a feeling this game was a lost cause and started doing other things – checked in now and then – saw we had a 2-0 lead, wasn’t surprised to check in later and see us down 4-2. Last time I checked in Carlos Lee – the guy who refused to come to L.A. – put the game out of reach. When you load the bases twice and come away empty, it’s not your night.
Was reading the comments above and I too really enjoyed the Herald Examiner’s sports page – they had Allan Mallamud too…
I was a teenager back then, and the Herald’s Sports page helped fuel my love of sports.

On the bright side, the Snakes lost to the Nats again and, after the Nats leave Phoenix, they have several games at The Phone Booth To Be Named Later.
