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.

When the Giants lost Cabrera due to suspension last year, they took off and won it all.
Hopefully the Dodgers as a team will step up, reach average (.500), then take off with the healthy lineup we all envisioned before this year began.

Well I’m here for as long as I can sit in this chair to help root on our team…Let’s go Blue and Here’s to a good game from Lilly

Glad everything is apparently working out for you!

Now bring him in!

Yes, they paid a lot for that deal, but other than Beckett, they’ve received MUCH more than big deals past (insert your most-despised deal here)
KT
Great inning Ted
KT
Way to get on Dre
KT
Oh and thanks for all the thoughts and prayers before going in…I cruise the e-mails before
KT
Ramon…coming through

Carl loves hitting lead off, when there’s nobody on base..

Dodgers now 6-for-47 this season with the bases loaded, an average of .128, the lowest in MLB. All six hits are singles.

KT

Pederson came in the AA game on a double switch in the bottom of the 9th to play LF.
Lookouts won 4-3, Puig played CF for the 3rd time this season. he went 3 for 4
doubled, singled leading off the 3rd; stole 2nd during next hitter’s AB then third during the following AB then scored on a single; SF/RBI; K; tripled in the 9th scored on error which turned out to be the winning run.
Dodgers’ other Cuban, Onelki Garcia, coming off the DL pitched the 6th and 7th striking out 4, 1 hit.

Well hopefully Belli doesn’t have the same results as last time he relived Lilly

no one can relive Belisario

You only relive once.
Jeffrey Thomas III
Welcome to the Belli show, where if you’re already on base you can feel free to come on home.
Anonymous
Would that be “pitcher indifference”?
Jeffrey Thomas III
A nice way of saying it, sure.

By getting two weak grounds balls, Belisario is a failure.

A reliever with an ERA over 5 enters the game. Let’s see what we can do.

Make him look good — a trick they’ve mastered this year.
Jeffrey Thomas III
I guess it was too much to ask for Ramon to do it all. A split isn’t terrible, but gotta win some games against the Rox and Pads.

Another step tonight on the road to oblivion.

Dodgers have now lost 53 of their last 71 games in American League parks.

They’re equal opportunists . . . they’re losing in all kinds of parks this year.

I can’t wait for Hanley to come back.

from dodgers.com
Management is leaning toward promoting an outfielder from Triple-A
Albuquerque, where Tony Gwynn, Elian Herrera, Matt Angle and Nick Buss
have spent time in center field.
“That’s what it feels like to me, more than anything else,” Mattingly said.
At this point, the Dodgers say they are not considering bringing up top prospects
Yasiel Puig or Joc Pederson from Double-A Chattanooga. Puig has been
playing the corner outfield spots, while Pederson has been the primary
center fielder with the Lookouts.
Puig played center field on Thursday, though, with Pederson scheduled
to have the day off. Only Herrera and Puig are on the 40-man rotser.

Decent pitching, terrible run support once again : so far the story of the Dodgers season.

Another day, and, I suspect, another lineup.
KT
Well I finally got a look at the my daughters birthday present baseball – 32 signatures total I’ve figured out 13 so far
Puig / Greinke / Kemp / Ethier / Kershaw / Lilly / League / Schumaker / Crawford / Herrera / Mellis / Lopes / AJ
Anyone here good at deciphering autographs…I’ve got 19 more to figure out

Good to have you back (just flew in myself from Jakarta and we’ll see if I can withstand the jetlag to see the Kid pitch tonight).

If anyone could have placed a bet that Ramon Hernandez would ever bat cleanup for the Dodgers, they would be very rich tonight . . . per MLB.com . . .
Los Angeles Dodgers:
1. 2B: Mark Ellis
2. RF: Andre Ethier
3. 1B: Adrian Gonzalez
4. C: Ramon Hernandez
5. LF: Scott Van Slyke
6. CF: Skip Schumaker
7. SS: Luis Cruz
8. 3B: Juan Uribe
9. SP: Clayton Kershaw
Remember what we all thought about Monday’s lineup? THEY won!
