P-Mac walks

Weird.

Gerut

Warning track power?

Come on!

Two warning track catches in a row?

And if Jerry thinks McAnulty should be up in the bigs for good, then dammit, give him a roster spot.

Happen to Maddux?

He got hit with a liner by Lee.

He left early

And they treated the replacement pitcher as an injury replacement, but they haven't said what's up.

by Dex on Mar 13, 2008 2:10 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

WTF

Seriously like all of our starters have gotten hit by baseballs.

And he never really gets hurt. With no Maddux, are we done for?

Did anyone else's XX internet stream

just shut off? My little player says it is still connected and streaming, and the connection timer is still ticking, but there is no sound.

I have tried a couple of times...

And it will play that thirty-second XX lead-in commercial perfectly, and then switch over to the live stream, and then... nothing.

They don't stream the game from Mighty XX

website. You need to purchase the MLB package to stream the game. Turn on the radio. You should be able to get a signal up there.

by jbox on Mar 13, 2008 2:27 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

That's weird...

I know that rule exists, but I was getting the internet stream earlier.

And you made me remember I had bought a radio at the end of last season because of this very situation, so thank you, because we are up and running again.

Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

Sometimes Mighty XX forgets to shut off the feed for a couple innings.

Towers said right-hander Kevin Cameron won't pitch for a week after getting hit in the left thumb yesterday by a line drive in batting practice. Cameron, slowed in late February by a hamstring strain, has worked only 1 1/3 innings in camp. If he's not ready by Opening Day, he can be optioned to Triple-A.

"thigh contusion"

Sounds like he's gonna be fine.

"The leg started to get a little stiff, and I came out," Maddux said. "It's one of those where, if it's April or May, you stay in."

Maddux said the pain in his thigh could have led him to alter his delivery had he stayed in.

"This kind of sets you back a little bit," he said. "I think I was supposed to go 60 pitches today, and I only threw about 30."

How about Callix today? 3 for 4, with a 2-out RBI. Not bad.

Oh. And, can we cut Fick now? Or do we have to wait til the rest of the team gets back from China?

How about Hiroki Kuroda's line today?

3.0 IP, 6 hits, 6 runs, 5 earned runs and a walk.

Nice. Three years, $35 million?

IDK

It doesn't seem like the Dodgers have any coverage at all for the trip. We have like 10 different bloggers and our whole like front office is there. They don't seem to care. Or maybe nobody cares about the dodgers. I prefer that theory.

I don't think they give a shit. They sent Torre and bunch of scrubs. TJ Simers kinda ripped them in the LA Times today.

HaHa

When they [The Dodgers] get done throwing, I wouldn't be surprised if Chinese athletes just stop training for the Games.

Personally, I believe the same thing could've been accomplished by sending the Dodgers' regulars.

My personal fav....

"You put Juan Pierre in left field and have him throw the ball to home, and you'll have a billion people in China suddenly caring about the poor little guy who plays for the Dodgers, while thinking, this is the best they can do over there?"
