Buy ‘The Catch: A novel’
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.

Dodgers baseball is fun!

Checking in after two days in Big Sur with no Internet. Can this team get any more fun to follow? What a great two wins to catch up with! Thanks, all.

When I left Chavez Ravine Thursday night — after experiencing the frustration of lost opportunities — I wasn’t feeling too optimistic about the chances for the rest of the weekend. But now the Blue are back to different heroes stepping up . . . and of players given up for lost coming through to contribute to wins.
They definitely are a Team. Hopefully they will be Champs.

Bob you know I called for 3 out of 4 before this series started…have the faith…Next forecast calls for a sweep of the Yankees

Wow, what a week – my son and I caught parts of the games in Toronto and those against the Reds on my trusty little transistor radio – in between roasting marshmallows for s’mores – complete with eye rolls from the wife and daughters. After the wins, couldn’t help paying the 3 quarters to pick up a copy of the Santa Barbara News-Press from the stand outside the El Capitan camp store.
Before leaving I said when I got back, I was sure the Dodgers would be in 1st and extending their lead – glad I was right. What a great season so far.

Those pictures above, what an awful scene for baseball. He’s terrible for the game. No sense of propriety. ;) (I’m just trying to troll like veteran grit-meisters who want him off their lawn and would like baseball to remain as mute and dull as possible.)

Agreed. What a showboat, waiting all game and then hitting a homer after all his teammates proved incapable of even putting the ball in play.

RIP, Frank Castillo, the only visiting pitcher to give up a home run at Dodger Stadium that left the park. He gave one up to Mike Piazza in 1997 http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1997/B09210LAN1997.htm. Castillo died in Arizona at age 44 in a drowning accident.

RIP and prayers for the family of George Scott too. Another player for whom my childhood has fond memories.

“Colletti has been telling anybody who will listen lately that the market
of available difference-makers is even thinner this year than usual,
downplaying expectations just in case anyone thinks he’ll land another
Hanley Ramirez, Adrian Gonzalez, Brandon League, Shane Victorino or Josh
Beckett.” from Gurnick
Victorino was a big difference-maker in my blood-pressure; Beckett 7-19 last 2 years

Maybe it will be Nathan from Texas and involve Ethier. Saw that speculation somewhere.
Anonymous
Wow, what a game a game and finish, but when he slid, Kendrys Morales did go through my mind.
Anonymous
Old news but just came across it – love the quote from Ethier after last Wed. night’s win. Describing Puig scoring from 1st on Ethier’s 9th inning single to tie the game and send it into extra’s, Andre said, “We got a lucky bounce and were lucky old Crazy Legs was on base and just kept going.”
That’s gold – good name for him.

Stl vs Pit for the next 3 games, then Stl plays the Reds and us…tough 3 series in a row for the Cards……seems we will be gaining ground on somebody
KT
Actually Pit vs StL is a 5 game set in 4 days

4-0 Pirates

Roxs beating the Barves 2-0 hard to root for the Roxs but gaining ground is most important

this game has been see-sawing back and forth…At least the Pirates are winning 6-1

Rangers’ beat writer thinks Nathan for Ethier trade is a good idea : http://sports.yahoo.com/news/andre-ethier-joe-nathan-trade-makes-sense-texas-175900351.html
KT
nope…I definitely would trade Ethier this year
Anonymous
I don’t think so either
Anonymous
I’m with you, with all the time Kemp and Crawford have been out of the lineup, Ethier has been invaluable.
Anonymous
Not sure which pitcher gets dropped from the team if Nathan joins Dodgers. Marmol comes to mind though. I like the idea of reducing payroll by trading Ethier and I think he would do well in Texas.

8-1 Pit

So does MLBTraderumors charge more for ad space the last week of July? Sounds like there could be stuff going on with Jake Peavy, Michael Young, and Cliff Lee soon. Do we need to be on Hug Watch?

Ugh. Don’t like Brian Wilson.

at least 3 weeks to 30 days before we might see him

Off to Camden Yards…to scout the O’s.

If Brian Wilson shaved his awful beard, was quiet for once in his career, and pitched well… well then I might not loathe him as much.
KT
too bad it’s not a minor league contract that he signed that would take care of the beard but it’s a major league $1 million dollar for the rest of the yr contract…immediately to the DL and a 30 day rehab starting in AZ then going to RC
Jeffrey Thomas III
Too bad the Dodgers don’t have grooming rules like the Yankees. If only Mattingly had carried on Torre’s policy.

Carlos Marmol and Brian Wilson? Perhaps Ned Colletti went to sleep in 2011 and just woke up and got on the phone.
