Maybe I'm just funny this way, but I'm not sure I'd start a guy who only went 3-3 playing for the 51's against the Mets when we're only half a game in front in September. Call me crazy (you wouldn't be the first) but that wouldn't have been my first choice.
Andrew (right) and Brian Kamenetzky are hosts of the LA Times Lakers Blog, and contributing writers to ESPN The Magazine and ESPN.com. Additionally, they co-authored Fishing on the Edge, the autobiography of Mike Iaconelli, the bad boy of bass fishing and 2003 Bassmaster Classic champion. They grew up in St. Louis as Cardinals fans, but it doesn't impair their ability to Think Blue. After all, the Cards and Dodgers aren't even in the same division.
CK=OK.

I LIKE INSERTING THOMAS TO TRY TO JUMP START THE OFFENSE BUT NOT AS A REPLACEMENT FOR ETHIER,
ALTHOUGH HE PROBABLY IS DUE FOR A DAY OFF.

THE METS "MAINE" MAN.

FINALLY A PITCHER THAT THROWS FASTBALLS??????

The Ump has a VERY generous strike zone tonight. Let's hope it applies to both teams.

HELLOOOOOOOO- THE PERFECT METS?????????????

We needed a BREAK. And we finally got one on that bad throw.
Posted by: LoLo | September 08, 2006 at 04:24 PM
What a break! 2-0 Dodgers!

Russell Martin, ROY! Great pick off!

THROW STRIKES DARN IT.

I DONT THINK GREENY LIKES HARD THROWING LEFTIES.

Kuo is looking good so far. He just needs to control his pitches and he will be fine. Go Blue!

Jen-
Necessity is the mother of invention.

Kuo seems to have settled down. I can use a nice quiet inning.
Posted by: LoLo | September 08, 2006 at 04:52 PM
DREWS GOTTA TAKE MORE PITCHES THAN ANY HITTER IN THE LEAGUE.
Posted by: stargazin | September 08, 2006 at 04:52 PM
Okay, here's a Grady gripe-
I understand the whole balance between lefties and righties, etc., but do the words "Marlon Anderson" and "Five Spot" sound like they go together?
BK
Posted by: Brian Kamenetzky | September 08, 2006 at 04:54 PM
BK -YOU'RE RIGHT. HE'S MORE LIKE A SIX SPOT.
Posted by: stargazin | September 08, 2006 at 04:57 PM
Jen,
Would you rather have Hendrickson out there?
Posted by: LoLo | September 08, 2006 at 04:57 PM
BK,
Sounds like you're jumping on the "WTF is he thinking" bandwagon. HAHA!!
Posted by: LoLo | September 08, 2006 at 05:00 PM
AT LEAST REYES ISNT WEARING THAT " IM ALL THAT" GRIN
TONITE.
Posted by: stargazin | September 08, 2006 at 05:01 PM
I WONDER HOW MANY PITCHES THEY'LL LET KUO PITCH.
A LOT , I HOPE.
Posted by: stargazin | September 08, 2006 at 05:02 PM
What is up with all of these 1st-pitch swings?!?
