Buy ‘The Catch: A novel’
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.

Come on Blue…Let’s get Kershaw a win and gain on Atl

You are exactly right, KT. We have a lineup tonight.
Bob_Hendley
Ryu has improved greatly his road splits, but stil partial to him starting his first playoff game at home.
KT
good eye Yasiel…now steal second
KT
Nice take out Puig
Bob_in_Vegas
LOTS of Dodger fans there by the sound of it!
Grant Baker
OK Kemp, let’s do this
Bob_in_Vegas
C’mon, AGon!
KT
Juanito!
Bob_in_Vegas
MLB Audio only for me — with CC’s speed and 2 outs, was it just hit too hard for him to score, even tho going on the pitch?
KT
too hard
Bob_in_Vegas
Thanks . . . shoot.
Hopefully this isn’t much ado about nothing.
KT
line drive 1 hop
Grant Baker
I think its the free game of the day if you’re around a computer.
KT
blackout rules apply
Grant Baker
Oh yeah. I wish they could find a way around that.
Linkmeister
Who’s “They?” MLB could try reasoning with the teams, but they’re greedy as the devil. Look at all the trouble Oakland’s having trying to get out of its territory to move south a little ways.
Bob_Hendley
Nice pitch from their kid.
Bob_in_Vegas
Off baseball, but on-topic, vis a vis the headline post — Jon, did you see “Gravity”? Is it as good as the buzz is saying? (Loved the trailer and I’m a fan of Cuaron.)
KT
wow all that activity and only 14 pitches
KT
Punto was safe on the throw but the ump also showed foul tip sign;

KT
isn’t it the foul tip when the ump take his hand and runs it along his arm?
foul tip
Actually, when I came along I believe there was a bit more involved than that. ;’])
KT
not sure what you mean…He took right hand and put on the middle of his left forearm and then swipped…this is a picture of his hand coming off the arm…it keeps going after that
foul tip
Was playing off my screen name (in non-baseball terms) for how more would have been involved than an arm rub when this “foul tip” came along originally,
Just trying to be funny. Not succeeding. Never mind.
KT
CC!!

Let’s go Gonzo

DP Time

YES!!!! DP

That was different.

way to get on Mark

Sold. I love Vin Scully.
Linkmeister
What did he say?
14hodges
It was just a little deadpan joke. He said that the SD outfielder who made a good catch in RF was from Sellersville. And then after admiring the catch, he simply said, “Sold.”
KT

I was the first person to leave an utterly insufferable wedding, the first one I have attended since my wife’s sister’s 28 years ago. Alcoholism runs in my family. If I had to attend weddings any more frequently, I would become an alcoholic. I have told my daughter she has to wait at least another 28 years.

Too Funny!
Linkmeister
Dodgers, you better win this. My other team today is failing miserably. Players dropping like flies from injuries, vaunted defense giving up yards in bunches. . .
So far Norm Chow’s coaching experience hasn’t done much for U of Hawai’i.
Bob_in_Vegas
KT, I know you’re going to the first game of the LDS — RBI, are you at the 1st as well?
It hit me that barring something really odd, we are gonna see Kershaw going for the Blue! I’ve never seen him pitch in person — missed him by a day in July. (I DID see him in that live interview/tribute for Joe Torre and Sandy Koufax several years ago. Kersh was in the audience and he went on stage with Sandy — nice moment!)
KT
as it stands now we will be seeing Ryu and RBI is going as well
Bob_in_Vegas
Seriously?! I know Ryu is better at home, but the thinking is to always start with your ace.
KT
sorry just saw…looks like we might be starting the NLDS in either Stl or Atl
RBI
Yes, I’ll be there! I saw Kershaw hit the homer opening day this year. Wouldn’t a repeat of that make a nice bracket? But doesn’t this depend on home field advantage?
Bob_in_Vegas
Right — that explains KT’s note about Ryu. More likely than not, it’ll be the 3rd game . . . hopefully the clincher for LA!
How great you were there Opening Day. I made one — believe it was in ’82.
KT
PUIG BAT FLIP!!!!
Bob_in_Vegas
YES!

See. You. Later. Watch Yasiel Puig absolutely tear the cover off this ball in the 7th: http://atmlb.com/1f5BhEo
RBI
Okay, Belli. Throw strikes.
ASW1
Thanks for the video, KT – just got home – heard Puig’s blast on the radio in the car, nice to see it here – so he missed hitting the longest HR in Petco by 2 feet? Wow.
RBI
Just like that!
KT
Nice Beli
ASW1
Well, yes it’s the Pads – but still – Beli’s stuff looked good tonight.
KT
Wilson or Jansen for the 9th

Nice seeing McGuire showing Puig a swing and Puig hitting it out, next pitch.
RBI
Three more outs.

This has been a nice, brisk game, compared to the last few. Kershaw-speed.
RBI
Where does he put his mull-hawk?
RBI
Wilson is not messing around.
KT
Ball Game!!!! Still with the number 3 seed with 7 games to go
2.5 behind Atl, 2 behind StL, tied with Pit
Looks like we will be starting on the road people with game 3 at DS with Ryu starting

RBI
Great close, Beard.
ASW1
Man, Wilson looks better than I could have ever imagined he would.
RBI
Just thinking the same thing.
RBI
So glad Kershaw got the win, and looked so sharp. Beli and Wilson, too. I really enjoyed watching this game.
KT
Going to the game tomorrow to see Greinke Win…I’ll be two rows from the field next to the camera well on the aisle in the padded seats section…because of my back ^_^…Looking forward to talking to Matt’s mom again and hopefully Eli hooks us up with some more game balls
ASW1
Have a great time, KT – bring home a Win!

I’ll post updates of hopefully my stash from the game

Has anyone who bought playoff tickets and used the print at home method received the link for them yet? I have my confirmation number, but I was wondering if the Dodgers were waiting to send them out for a while in order to tamp down the secondary market.
