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.

Go BLUE!!!!

Go is what the Yankees have said to old friend Luis Cruz, as in leave, DFA. Anyone surprised?

So are we supposed to have a rooting interest in Arz-Pit? I’ve been seeing more #1 seed posts than NL west standings posts here lately
WBBsAs
We have no control over what the Dodgers do, nor what the Bucs and Dbags do. The Dodgers themselves have some control over what they do, but nothing more than that.
Bob_in_Vegas
First things first, for me — win the division!
KT
My take on this is, since we don’t face Pitt anymore, I want them to lose enough games to fall behind us. Now if AZ winning puts us in jeopardy of losing 1st place in the west then I root for Pitt but as long as we are winning I’m rooting against the bucs
Bob_in_Vegas
Fair enough. But after the Dodgers, I’m happiest for the Pirates. For sooooo long, THEIR waffle was .500 and now . . .

I don’t like Gibby chasing me. The further behind the better.

Game time! Let’s keep the streak alive!

I didn’t realize how evenly matched Greinke and Lee were, wow. Should be fun.

Ken Gurnick @kengurnick50s
Brian Wilson hasn’t been activated, but he walked down to the bullpen between innings with the rest of the Dodgers relievers.
Bob_Hendley
Did they make him carry the case of Red Bull?
KT
No I think it was more of a “I’m going to take one of your jobs” statement

Nice pitch Zack!

Ok let’s scratch this inning

Must be humid for Greinke to give it such a halfhearted effort
foul tip
For the TV-challenged, at what?
KT
hit the ball to the second baseman and only made it half way down the line then turned around

Jon Weisman
It’s quite common for a starting pitcher to conserve energy on a likely out.
KT
yea but I’ve never seen Greinke not go all the way before..usually they at least touch the bag…don’t get me wrong I’m not bitching just making an observation

No apparent lingering effects.

Halfway there, Uribear.

Who fires their manager the day the hottest time on the planet is coming to town?

Of course, that would presume McCourt would think of honoring him in the first place! (“What do I get out of it?” I could see him thinking.)

Whew!

That was a bit scary, especially since it started with the free pass — the old “can’t defend against it.”
KT
Hanley!
Bob_in_Vegas
I realize I’m behind “real time” again. When the game started, I was having a late working lunch. I had Gameday up (no audio), but I was counting on you guys to indicate how it was going . . . and was pleased you were bringing good news . . . again! (Now it’s the MLB Audio delay, plus running in from the other room — my edit bay — to make comments.)

[GIF] By popular request, here’s Zack Greinke looking very, very, very confused by Hanley Ramirez http://www.mlbgifs.com/2013/08/zack-greinke-is-very-very-very-confused-by-hanley-ramirez/ …
Bob_in_Vegas
Thanks — I wondered what your earlier comment regarding his look referred to.
peter drysdale
Has anyone noticed the Dodgers now have the second best road record in MLB now? It’s crazy considering how bad they were on the road early in the season.
KT
yes and depending on how the Nats and Atl game turns out we might be 2.5 back

ASW1
Not to take anything away from the Dodgers and didn’t see much of the game, but what I did catch, and hear on the radio, Phillies played just terrible – heads not in the game, standing around, completely lackadaisical – no wonder Phillies phans pissed off. Not the same Phillies we are accustomed to seeing in the recent past, for sure.
KT
after we went ahead 2-0
Bob_Hendley
Just lost their manager as well.
ASW1
Hearing that Ethier was limping is a downer – hope Kemp’s ankle heals up soon.
Not sure about using Kenley with a 4-run lead and the bottom of the order for the Phils coming up and yes I’m nitpicking.
Love the streak, love the fact that wins are now starting to seem automatic, but it makes me nervous for some reason.
KT
I agree should have used Withrow since they are going to be sending him down
ASW1
And that’s another thing – I don’t think Withrow should be going anywhere, but then again, they can just call him back up when rosters expand, so no biggie.
KT
right so use him before he goes
KT
Dodgers in 3rd place in the overall MLB standings.
1 games behind the Bucs.
3.5 games behind the Barves….very obtainable…Go BLUE!!!!

For a 96 win season we would need to go 25-16 that would mean AZ would need to go 35-8 to tie
With only Boston and Cincinnati the only two teams over .500 left on our schedule and only Phillies, Marlins, cubs and the NL West left I think 25 more wins is well within reach
KT
Local LL Team still doing well !!!!
