    I've got to start this early, as I won't be around later. That 'cuz I'LL BE AT THE GAME! A week or so ago I started figuring out pitching match ups, and by my calculations it was going to be Kershaw facing King Felix. Needless to say I was pretty excited about that match up. Then Milton had to go and get hisself off the DL and Sunshine got moved up to last night's game. Oh well, Kershaw was great last night and the Dodgers got the win.

    Needless to say, line ups aren't available yet. Hopefully somebody will be around to post those later.

    Has anyone ever heard Torre's reasons behind Kemp in the 8-hole rather than Martin? The way Russ is hitting (taking plenty of walks, but not hitting worth a lick) he seems a much better fit there than does Kemp. Just wondering of Torre has gone public with a reason.

    King Felix has a sub-2 ERA away from home.

    Nice bit of pitching by Milton to get out of that small mess.

    Whiney-Ass Crybaby blows another save as JJ Hardy singles home Mat Gamel to tie the Brewer/Gint game.

    Prince Fielder singles home Corey Hart and the Gints along with Whiney-Ass Crybaby take the L. Hilarity ensues.

    Very nice at bat by Thirsty. I wouldn't mind a repeat of last night's efforts.

    Looks like the A's are mailing it in, much like the Snakes. One would think that these teams are hoping to make a run at Bryce Harper. Nothing like playing to lose.

    It looks like it will take some doing for the A's or Snakes to catch the Nats. They already have a nine game lead in the Bryce Harper Sweepstakes.

    Brilliant! I wonder which dipshit called an 0-2 slider to a right handed hitter?

    Milton manages to get one out, this inning.

    I guess Manny can handle Single - A pitching. He homered in his first at bat for Inland Empire.

    Milton mitigates the damage by striking out Cedeno and King Felix. 1-0, M's.

    Is Bryce Harper going to be in next year's draft?

    According to most wonks, yes. He is enrolled at a junior college after he passed his GED. He will be seventeen when he is drafted and with his talent, he will be one very rich teenager.

    That would've been something to see, Beltre's arm vs. Kemp's speed.

    Nothing, that inning.

    Not a good combination.

    How many balls have to be crushed before they yank Milton?

    Yep, looks like Milton ain't gonna make the playoff roster. Nothing like putting it on a tee, Milton.

    It is amazing that Torre can let a guy get his head kicked in, but will yank a relief pitcher after he gives up a bloop single. Of course, some of the pitches that were called for Milton defy explanation.

    I know he hates to burn the pen by taking a guy out early but even many of the outs were crushed since the first inning.

    At least we won't get shut out, tonight. Thanks, Ichiro.

    Which is kind of in opposition of him burning out one pitcher for each year he has managed. I mean, he shortened Quantrill and Proctor's careers. Now, he has done some damage to Wade and I am worried about Belisario.

    Accrding to Kissyface, the Cardinals have acquired Mark DeRosa for rhp Chris Perez and a player to be named later - wanna bet it is Brett Wallace? I guess that puts the Holliday to St. Louis rumors to a close.

    Manny is 2-2 with a walk and two runs, so far.

    After I moaned about Milton he did settle down and pitch a couple of good innings.
