Too bad that baseball swings guy doesn't have a video of Dodger hitters. I'd pay to see him do Ron Cey.

Time for the Mets hitters to get untracked tonight.

Church!

[Frayed Knot]

I once saw a lethal bantamweight named Hiroki Kuroda

[Frayed Knot]

Beltran a late scratch in favor of Pagan - no details yet.

Hu's on short for LA

Furball out for Dodgers w/sore back

Hiroki Kuroda, Rookie Carroca - same thing.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

There's a lot of good reasons to hit Church 2nd but the 1st inning HR on the road is prolly the best.

[Guest themetfairy]

The report on Beltran - he was scratched from the lineup because of flu-like symptoms.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

How about that 6-7-8-9?

[Guest themetfairy]

3-0 so far. Long ball in the first inning, small ball in the second.

[Frayed Knot]

Maybe not so lethal a bantamweight

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yuk, shoulda had 2 more that inning.

[soupcan]

DWright seems to be swingin' n' missin' quite a bit lately.

[soupcan]

HA! Fuck you Pierre!

Sorry - too much DodgerBlues today.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Holy Bud Harrelson!

[Frayed Knot]

You can't stop Moises Alou you can only hope to contain him

[Guest themetfairy]

Holy Moises! He steals home!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

All this threatening and our run comes on a steal of home. Gotta deliver a kill shot one of these times.

[Frayed Knot]

Maybe it's just the small sample we've seen but, for the most part, these Japanese pitchers are a chore to watch.

Even when they're good - Nomo for a while or Matsuzaka now - they take forever to throw and are forever nibbling around the zone and use up a ton pf pitches.
Dice-K gave up one hit thru 7 the other day but [u:ab896dd7c1]walked 8[/u:ab896dd7c1] and another low-scoring game took 3-1/2 hours. Now here we are 75 minutes into this one and it's only the bottom of the 3rd.

[Theoldmole]

Never saw such a group for complaining about how runs are scored.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Having just checked in on the games progress, I thought Scarlet had lost her mind when she said Alou had stolen home. I would have bet that Alou couldn't steal home with an Ak-47 and a Ferrari get away car. I can't wait to see this one on the highlights.

[Frayed Knot]

]Never saw such a group for complaining about how runs are scored

It's not how, it's just that there should be more of them.

Between all the hits, walks, errors, steals, sacs, etc., it's a bunch of sound and fury signifying ... well, not as much as it should.

It was pretty unbelievable. Ron and Gary commented that a lot of people will be scratching their heads when they read about the game in the morning papers.

Twas the old delayed double-steal deal.
Alou on 3rd when Pagan on 1st takes off for 2nd -- Moises breaks on the throw. Was helped out by a double-clutching SS and a high throw home but was legit safe.

[Frayed Knot]

Figgy playing with fire too - and this lead, which should be bigger, could disappear to nothing in a hurry if he's not careful.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

It's a whole new ballgame.

[Theoldmole]

4th career steal of home for Alou

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Alou's getting smashy.

A breath of fresh air for the American League.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Thanks for the description, Knot. The Mets were likely fortunate that Furcal and his lrocket arm had the night off.

It didn't take long for Kuo to extinguish that Met uprising.
