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.

Houston will be eliminated from AL West contention with their next loss AND if Texas or Oakland win one more game. #mlbdeathwatch
Bob_Hendley
Light them up!
Jack Dawkins
Dodger magic number is 29 I believe.
KT
you are right sir:

The Astros were all but eliminated when the season started so kudos to them for hanging on this long! ;)
mike_tink
Jon, 54 games, 44-10.
Jon Weisman
Sorry – thanks.
underdog
Every game counts so I know this is silly but I do wish Kershaw or Greinke, at least one of them, were pitching in the Red Sox series since there’ll be such a spotlight on that. The Sox won’t be facing our best two BUT Ryu at home has been excellent. And first, let’s get this one!
Happy breakfast game everyone.
Bob_Hendley
We going to have a national broadcast for any of the games against the Bosox?
KT
fox saturday and ESPN sunday
Bob_Hendley
Need to gird myself for all the upcoming Puig BS.
leekfink
This is triple-plus ungood. It interleague play, which is awful; the national broadcasts mean Puig navel gazing nonsense (rather than pointing out that after nearly 3 months, he’s obviously for real); and the “national” “broadcasts” (which are either not national or not broadcasts–discuss) means no Vinny.

Jayson Werth completely froze when Carlos Villanueva threw him an Eephus pitch: http://atmlb.com/12sUyrB http://twitpic.com/d9qhpz
Bob_Hendley
Maybe the only thing he can’t hit at this point. NL POM in July and having a torrid August as well.
Linkmeister
Mr. Werth looks like Grizzly Adams in that video.
KT
Way to get hit in the shoe Shoe

scooplew
Setting up the triple play.
Bob_in_Vegas
Kersh needs an adjustment like Zack made last night.
Bob_Hendley
On gameday. Can’t tell who is more erratic, the ump or Clayton.
btimmer
Clayton
Bob_Hendley
Well, the two of them are driving me nuts.
Bob_Hendley
For those with eyes, shallow flyout to Puig or fear of the gun?
KT
both….would have been out by 30 ft
dalegribel
So he saves a run. There’s now one in the bank for his next “lapse”. Someone please inform Plaschke and Morosi.
Bob_in_Vegas
One of the many pieces of wisdom I remember from Vinny is ‘It’s sometimes better to be lucky than good.’ . . . Until he gets good again, at least Kersh is lucky.
Now let’s score some runs!
dalegribel
Reds strike first. up 1-0.
leekfink
Now Mattingly has benched Hanley! It’s madness–tomorrow he’ll probably bench Kershaw!
mike_tink
he said before the series that Hanley would start 3 of the 4 games
leekfink
It’s possible that I am violating Rule 7 AND 8, by sarcastically continuing to pick on the Plashke, etc. “Bench Puig” crowd.
But I am willing to bet he benches Kershaw tomorrow!
RBI
Is Clayton getting squeezed as much as Gameday says?
Bob_Hendley
I already asked. Btimmer says that it is all Clayton’s fault.
KT
i agree with Btim
RBI
‘kay. Thanks, guys.
KT
PUIG!!
Jack Dawkins
Game day say in play no out, then Puig flies out sharply….which is it?
Bob_in_Vegas
Double — thought HR but hit the top of the wall.
Jack Dawkins
Thanks, looks like the 422 mark. Talk about right swing wrong ballpark.
KT
1 foot shy of a hr to dead CF hit the top of the wall ended up a double…he thought he hit it out was running with his head down to 1st base
Bob_Hendley
They had to wait for the official scorer.
scooplew
According to Gameday, Puig went 2-for-3 on that at bat — single, line out, double.
Bob_in_Vegas
C’mon, gotta get the run!
KT
PUIG!
KT
thought they had it
Bob_in_Vegas
C’mon, Juan!
Bob_Hendley
They want no part of Uribear.
Jon Weisman
Skip Schumaker is one away from the L.A. Dodgers record of three HBP in a game, 7/3/06 by Nomar Garciaparra. http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/sS2Dc
Bob_Hendley
If he survives.
Jack Dawkins
Chance for kershaw to show the hitter he was last year.
Bob_in_Vegas
Help yourself, Kersh!
KT
CLAYTON!
Bob_in_Vegas
Glimpse of the future!
KT
single to LF followed by a single and miss play by stanton in rf 3 runs
KT
CC!!
Bob_in_Vegas
Kersh: ‘If it’s meant to be, it’s up to me.’
Bob_in_Vegas
I like knowing it’s gonna be good before hearing it!
Bob_in_Vegas
I hope running on the basepaths doesn’t affect the Kid (in this game, can’t really tell!) — but I’m sure he’s glad he was out there running!
dalegribel
This season, I would hope he’s kind of gotten used to it.
Bob_in_Vegas
Good point . . . nice problem to have!
KT
DP!!
KT
Let’s score more…7 pitch inning
Bob_in_Vegas
Ask and ye shall receive!
ASW1
Love the shutdown inning after scoring 3.
KT
DRE!!
KT
AJ!!
Bob_in_Vegas
Straight A’s get the run — Andre & AJ!
Bob_in_Vegas
Again, the scoring with 2 outs.
ASW1
Kershaw 50-0 in his starts when getting 4 or more runs in support.
KT
go to third AJ WP!
Bob_in_Vegas
Skip!!!
Bob_in_Vegas
I’m getting back a little of that lovin’ feeling from before the back-to-back losses — that the Blue can score from anywhere in the lineup . . . no matter how many outs there are.
KT
72 pitches after 5…we’re good
Bob_Hendley
Yep. BTW, you looking forward to an appearance by the bearded one?
KT
me too..want a few more though
Bob_Hendley
Its hardly a test if there is no pressure.
KT
want to see him just against MLB players 1st…then we can add the pressure later
Bob_Hendley
Sure, but the fish are like cutting bait.
ASW1
Heard somewhere that someone offered Wilson $Thousands$ to shave that ridiculous beard – if true, wish Wilson would have taken him up on it.
Linkmeister
Has he dyed it blue yet?
ASW1
Took a few innings but Kershaw firmly in the zone now.
ASW1
Even when he’s “off” still can’t score on him.
ASW1
I wish Collins and Lyons would knock off talking about the Kid throwing no-hitters and perfect games fercryinoutloud – they been harping on it all day. No hitters are nice but fluky – let alone perfect games. Nothing fluky about Kershaw.
Enough already.
WBBsAs
Don’t expect any insights from Collins and Lyons, and you will not be disappointed.
ASW1
Yeah – listening to these two really makes me miss Vin when the Dodgers hit the road.
WBBsAs
Vin is irreplaceable but, next year, the Guggenheimers will hopefully decide the team needs other announcers commensurate with the Dodgers’ talent.
KT
nice inning Clayton …for those of you who care 83 pitches
KT
ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo9m
Yasiel Puig’s 4th-inning 2B at Marlins Park went 436 ft. Would have been HR at 27 of 30 parks (Marlins Park, Minute Maid Park, Chase Field).
KT
Gonzo!!
ASW1
That one would have been a Tater in a few parks as well.
Bob_Hendley
On the bright side, the dimensions help reduce the chances of seeing that thing in leftfield light up.
KT
Puig SAC!!
Bob_Hendley
Skippy needs to step up to the plate and then step into one. (to achieve Dodger immortality)
Jon Weisman
Broxton out for the season.
http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/08/22/jonathan-broxton-needs-elbow-surgery-out-for-the-season/
ASW1
Signed a 3-yr/21 mil contract this past offseason? Don’t know who his agent is, but he’s good, damned good.
Bob_Hendley
Must be the same as League’s
ASW1
1-1 bottom 8 in Cincy btw
Bob_in_Vegas
Sure like the DP ball when the Dodgers are on D!
KT
2-1 reds
ASW1
Gonna be sweet to be going into the weekend series against the BoSox with a well-rested ‘pen.
ASW1
Nice short-hop by Shoe there.
Jon Weisman
J.P. Hoonstra says Wilson is warming up.
Jon Weisman
Godlschmidt singles to start top of the ninth for Arizona. Tying run on with none out against LeCure.
btimmer
Chapman went 2 innings last night.
Bob_in_Vegas
Go, Reds!
Bob_in_Vegas
Did not like the start of the game, but just about everything since: scoring in three different innings . . . with 2 outs . . . nice defensive plays . . . no runs — earned or otherwise — given up by Kersh . . . and, hopefully. a turning of the pond in the standings.
Jon Weisman
One out later, Aaron Hill singles. Runners on first and second.
Linkmeister
Okay, bearded guy, close it out.
btimmer
The best part is the blue scrunchy in the beard.
Linkmeister
Oh come on. ;)
ASW1
I’m leaving the possibility open that Wilson and his ridiculous beard could grow on me.
Bob_Hendley
That’s an ugly thought.
KT
He Gone!
KT
2 down
Linkmeister
Watching a former Giant come in after a year off due to injury makes me remember Dave Dravecky and that awful image of him collapsing on the mound after throwing a pitch.
Bob_in_Vegas
Yay, Cincy!
Bob_in_Vegas
The pond has turned . . . Dodgers once trailed by 9 1/2, now lead by 9 1/2!
KT

105 – 72 6/22 – ASB

Dodgers are in 2nd place in the NL standings.
Ahead of the Bucs because of head to head.
3 games behind the Barves….very obtainable…Go BLUE!!!!

Magic number 27. Seems reasonable it will be below 20 entering September. 95 wins also seems reasonable.
ASW1
Kershaw season ERA now down to 1.72
Bob_in_Vegas
End-of-season agenda:
(Hopefully celebrate)
Lock down the Kid.
foul tip
Brian Wilson. Harrumph. So…will the Dodgers sign any more Beachboys?
WBBsAs
Already one too many.
