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.

Looks like some runs

Wonder how Fedex will go now he has been made redundant?
Anonymous
Perhaps he should be known as UPS.
KT
Are you trying to put UPS down…sorry much better than the other package carriers
Anonymous
Maybe I should have said that he won’t get his UPS in the big leagues. (No insult intended to UPS.)
KT
Great play Juanito!1
KT
Alright let’s get those runs back
KT
Matty!!
KT
Come on AGon
Jeffrey Thomas III
Adrian!
KT
AGON!
KT
Got those runs back quickly ^_^
Jeffrey Thomas III
Good inning for Ryu, but so far I’m a bit nervous watching him pitch.
KT
It’s like he likes to put men on base so he can work on getting out of jams
KT
CC!!
KT
Come on Nick move him over or drive him in
KT
Worked like a charm

Just tuned in — glad to see the Blue are scoring . . . and the Bison is instrumental in that!

It’s not just the Dodgers. Besides Sellers (13 at bats) and Cruz (17), there were three other players who began today with 10 or more AB and no hits — Amarista (14) of San Diego, old friend Martin (14) of Pittsburgh and Belt (10) of San Francisco. Besides Kemp, there were 14 other players with 13 or more AB and only one hit.
Anonymous
With Belt, I think we might be seeing the real thing.
Anonymous
Your track record with these sorts of comments is not as good as Belt’s current OPS. He hit .275 last season and .410 in spring training; do you really think he will hit .000 this year.
Anonymous
Am I not allowed to be facetious? In reality, I think he’s about what he showed last year, which is Loney quality 1B.
KT
Nice start JH jr
KT
Alright Justin break the snide and drive in Juanito
Gobias Bluth
Sellers is the worst.
Jeffrey Thomas III
As @DodgersGM tweeted last night: “Justin Sellers did not make the team because of his offensive skills, it was his motorcycle riding skills.”
Gobias Bluth
Well I for one hope he pops a wheelie all the way back to Albq.
Gobias Bluth
Cardinals are pushing Cain around right now.
KT
5-2 cards over Gnats
KT
Cain going under now 7-2
KT
9-2 Cain gone giving up 9 earned runs
KT
Come on CC start it off again
Gobias Bluth
Yeah!
Gobias Bluth
Stolen base anyone?
KT
And they were saying he hated to lead off…CC says I like to leadoff…they just assumed I didn’t
Gobias Bluth
Can Punto play short?
KT
yes he can
KT
good eye Matty
Gobias Bluth
Kemp needs to take some pitches.
KT
Gonzo trying to stretch the single into a double out easily but score now 4-2…YES!!
Gobias Bluth
Hairston looking like Pence out in LF on that play.
KT
That was scary looking…good recovery though
Gobias Bluth
I wonder how many pitches Mattingly lets Ryu throw?
Gobias Bluth
if he can make it out of this inning, I’ll take it.
Gobias Bluth
Nice punchout!!
Anonymous
Nice way to end his outing.
Gobias Bluth
Agreed.
KT
Come on front row people
Jeffrey Thomas III
Where’s Bartman when you need him?
KT
He actually was reaching into the stands…That’s fan territory
Gobias Bluth
Holy mole, Ryu is back out there to start the 7th?
Jeffrey Thomas III
One more strikeout of Alvarez for good measure, good start for Ryu.
KT
Not a bad outing for RYU…kept us in the game
Gobias Bluth
Especially considering the way he started. Good sign
KT
Thought Gonzo should have had that one
Gobias Bluth
Ellis in the game to make an immediate impact. Love that dude’s glove.
Jeffrey Thomas III
Well I’ll be…
Linkmeister
hornswoggled?
Gobias Bluth
Wow what a way to break a hitless streak Sellers! I take back everything bad I’ve been thinking and saying about you today.
KT
JUSTIN’s 1st Hit!! Now he’ll be swing for the fences all the time
Anonymous
that is the first unkind comment I have seen ever seen from you KT.
KT
I didn’t think it was unkind…it’s just a tendency I see with the “little” guys when they finally break out of a slump with an HR that they tend to try for it more often then just hitting the ball hard….Wasn’t trying to put sellers down. I like his style of play, just wish he would hit a little more
Maybe it wasn’t a totally positive comment Mike…I’ll give you that…I try to keep everything positive
Linkmeister
Does Kemp go out before each game and get his left shoulder-point dirty? How does he DO that?
KT
pine tar
Linkmeister
You think? I suppose getting it on your right hand and then doing some kind of complicated chest-slapping routine would have that effect.
KT
are you talking about the approximate 4×2 strip on the back of his left shoulder if not I didn’t notice.
Anonymous
I heard it’s from a stretch he does before the game.
Anonymous
Heard the same.
KT
Nice Adrian!!

A fellow named gerrylovesnathalie has a post under Fanposts at truebluela. ( I know it’s a fellow since I saw his picture). The title is Why I Don’t Love the Dodgers Anymore. I guessed the reason was because they are so rich but no it was because the team has not been good. Someone replied they hope Nathalie never lets herself go- very clever.
KT
I call next game!! Going to Tuesday’s opener at Petco…Anybody gets on third base you guys will see my daughter and I
Jeffrey Thomas III
I may try to go to Thursdays game as I’ll be in SD this weekend.
KT
If you haven’t been to Petco…You should go
Jeffrey Thomas III
I have, it’s a beautiful park. I lived in SD for three years and my uncle actually has season tickets that he often gives me for LA games.
KT
cool only time I go there
KT
Yes JP
KT
BALL GAME!!
Jeffrey Thomas III
Good sweep. Keep waking up those bats boys.
Anonymous
just got to work, I don’t know what gives me more joy, us winning or the Gnats getting pasted at home!
Anonymous
after 6 games I think 4-2 is an Ok start, especially since we haven’t really hit much as a team and I think Kemp batting 0.100 (and Punto batting 0.600 !) is not quite normal :)
KT
we’ll be fine…I’m think 2 out of 3 from SD if not a sweep
Anonymous
we should manage that.
I better get some work done, catch you all then
Anonymous
now 14-2 St Louis :)

Very disappointed that Brandi Belt got first hit of season, though.
Anonymous
At least Sellers can say his first hit meant something!
