Matt Kemp has a .444 on-base percentage and .513 slugging in his past 11 games. If you’re wondering about his power, that’s going to be the last thing to return following his labrum surgery.
Justin Sellers has a .385 on-base percentage and .378 slugging in his past 15 games since starting the season 0 for 13.

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.

Matt Guerrier is bad.
What is it with these three-year deals the Dodgers keep signing. Guerrier, League, and Uribe have all worn out their welcome long before the second year of those deals. Maybe it’s Ned’s own three-year deal.
Anonymous
Too early to say that about League, but his responsibilities clearly exceed his abilities.

Make me happy, tell me Ned’s contract ends this year…

At this point, it seems clear that Luis Cruz is the odd-man out wehn Hanley returns. I imagine that Cruz is out of options (I can’t tell based on the information I see), whereas Sellers has options this year, and that could tip the decision. But is someone really going to claim Cruz off waivers at this point???
KT
out of options
Anonymous
I still think it makes more sense to risk the waiver wire for Cruz and keep Sellers.

A quick look in today as I wake up, back to school today after the holidays (sigh!)

holidays…what holidays?

I am in the fortunate position of being a teacher in that I have the same time off as my children. (well most of them anyway)

In English/ British culture, Days off, even weekends, are called holidays. I find the language differences between us and them amusing, and I don’t mean that at all in a derogatory way. Wonder how we strayed so far from their culture?

In Australia we definitely don’t call weekends holidays :)

So great to see Juan Uribe take, then drive pitches.

I would really like to see Juan produce this year…so far not so bad compared to the last 2 years

Nice to see Kershaw back in his groove. Hopefully the bullpen doesn’t blow it today if he can’t go nine.

Also, Ramon Hernandez continues to look useless.

C’mon, Kid — 6 more outs!

Nice run down by Uribe
!2 K’s by the CLAW

3 more outs! I’d love for Kershaw to get the CG, especially since I’m wary of the bullpen.

Let’s get enough runs so it’s bullpen proof!

Carl Crawford: There’s your run.
Clayton Kershaw: Thanks. Can I have one more, just in case Brandon League screws up the first one?

MLBTR is running a poll on who is the best GM in baseball. I see Ned Colletti has voted for himself 67 times but still in the “final four”. He’s going to have to make all the employees vote for him if he don’t want to be tail-end Charlie.
Anonymous
The Colorado GM is way behind Colletti. I guess he had something better to do than vote for himself all day like play golf.

Remember when a game would draw 500 to a thousand posts here? Whatever happened to all those guys?

TBLA and MSTI. How they can stand actively participating in the game thread at either is beyond me.

Here’s tonight’s lineup, according to MLB.com:
1. LF: Carl Crawford
2. C: A.J. Ellis
3. 1B: Adrian Gonzalez
4. CF: Matt Kemp
5. RF: Andre Ethier
6. 2B: Skip Schumaker
7. 3B: Luis Cruz
8. SS: Justin Sellers
9. SP: Ted Lilly
I was feeling really good — until the last four, at least from the offensive side. . . . Let’s hope they turn out to be the heroes! (As long as there IS a Dodger hero, it doesn’t matter WHO it is . . . NO BOTTOM OF THE 9th!)
KT
From Twitter recently…this is why Clayton left right after the game last night:
Clayton Kershaw placed on the bereavement list. Thoughts and prayers are with Kershaw and his family for whatever they may be dealing with
KT
For those of you without “eyes” tonight, Dodgers vs Rocks is the MLB.com free game tonight
KT
I can’t relax…I know I get to see the beginning of the game but I’m going to have to leave to pick up my wife at the airport.
I’m afraid I’m going to get so caught up in the game I’m going to end up leaving late
I better set the alarm…I hate when I can’t just sit back and watch the game with no hassles

If you are late, don’t blame our Bums.
KT
She left from Brussels at 0500 EST and Philly at 1755 est so I better not be late because I know I’m always cranky after that long flight

I just came in . . . Does Lilly know this is being played in LA?
Anonymous
Nobody told the Rox either.
Anonymous
Lilly thought that should have been a hit, and not an error on him.
Anonymous
Not an excuse for Lilly, but the ump’s strike zone seems a bit erratic, both ways.
Jeffrey Thomas III
The pitcher is 3 for 3 with 2 RBI’s. I think I’ve seen enough tonight.

Jon must have known something.

A couple of notes…
…
On a night like tonight…
1. Does anything need to be said about Ted Lilly?
2. With the game at 5-0, it became time for Octonauts for a while to get my little 1-yr. old daughter calmed down for bed time. (not a bad show, by the way)
3. Down big, and down big early….games like these actually present an opportunity, IMHO.
They provide the opportunity for this Dodger ball club to demonstrate what a ‘juggernaut’ it plans on being this 2013 season….you know “A Whole New Blue” and all that jazz. I really wish they were in the mood to do something tonight….even if, just to make things interesting. :-/

KT, want me to pick your wife up for you? Anything’s better than this…

I think he’s long gone by now. Lucky fellow.

Ok…… stop with the trainers going to the mound each inning….. It’s getting old.

All I can say is…this home plate ‘blue’ is quite the understanding man.

Yeah . . . but not for long. The good news is, lose by 1 or lose by 10, it’s still just one L.

They’re saying Hanley is playing tomorrow — woohoo!
Let’s hope he turns the club around like that other Ramirez did once upon a time . . .

Sure, but can he pitch? Over the last 8 games we have been increasing our scoring by one run per game with a somewhat more respectable 4.3, whereas runs against increased to 4.75 during that period.
