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.

How many of you were as certain as I was that Hernandez was going to hit in a DP right there? Why is he batting ahead of Cruz?
Jon Weisman
Would it matter if they switched?
Anonymous
Perhaps. You can’t be certain that Cruz would have struck out with two on and none out. Second question: Can Hernandez bunt? Given our inability to score many runs, I would have opted for that if he is any kind of bunter. Third question: Why wasn’t Federowicz given much of an opportunity?

FedEx has some sort of upside. Hernández has none.

After enjoying “42” yesterday, I am amazed again at Jackie Robinson’s grace under pressure — not just the name-calling and petitions against him — including from members of his own team — but with death threats against himself, his wife, and his child.
And yet he was still able to perform on the field.
And I wonder about the current Dodgers’ lack of production when all they are facing is a runner or two in scoring position.
Perhaps the answer is the running gag . . . Jackie was super-human.
KT
good throw and he’s hung out to dry

AGONE-!!!!!

I saw “42” yesterday as well. I was prepared to like it, but I was worried that it would be spoiled by cliches often found in sports movies. The movie was far better than I had hoped it would be — I found it remarkable and greatly enjoyed it — and the film was virtually cliche-free. I felt that the little-known — at least by me — actor who played Robinson captured his tenacity, resiliency and wisdom, and Harrison Ford seemed perfectly cast as Mr. Rickey.

CARL with the 3 good catch of the game

RYU and CC…what a combo…Come on Shoe

Anyone know the last time that a Dodger pitcher got three hits in a game before tonight?
KT
I thought someone mentioned it in the MSTI thread but I couldn’t find it
On another note, I loved how the D-backs announcers started calling RYU “Baby RyU TH”
Jon Weisman
Claude Osteen, 1970, was the last to get 4 hits.
Jon Weisman
Randy Wolf in 2009 was last to get three.

Thanks for the information….I just looked up Koufax’ batting. He never had as many as three hits in a game, although he frequently allowed fewer. Despite a career batting average of .097, he hit .444 in July of 1965 — 8 for 18 — his best month ever. He hit a career high .177 that year. In his rookie year, 1955, he struck out in each of his 12 at bats. In 1956, he went 2-for-17, again with 12 strikeouts. Over his first three seasons, he batted .036.

Young Miss and Young Master Weisman made dinner tonight. Time from start to finish was 2:45, in part because they incorporated the creation of a tupperware snail habitat into their activities. The ratio of dishes to consumables was extremely high. But a good time had by most!

Special evening for the Weisman family, regardless of how the Dodgers do.

Come on Kenley…don’t lose this gem by Ryu

Thinking of Jon’s previous post:
How does the “Beat L.A.” chant – that happens in almost every city when the Dodgers are on the road – factor into the equation of classifying individuals or a team as whole cities?
Jon Weisman
Well, i find it tiresome – how does that factor in? :)
Its origins are directly about playing the team. The Anchorman quote is about the city. Though throughout today’s debate, I realized that I was more bothered by the “See you Monday in Los Angeles” than I was by the Anchorman quote.
Jon Weisman
Then again, Dave, do you represent all of Winnipeg or just the Jets? :)
Anonymous
Some days I feel like I can barely even represent myself! The Jets, Bombers, Goldeyes, and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company will have to take care of themselves…
I suppose you are correct Jon – I’m just grousing because the chant gets under skin a bit too.
