Also, Prince is beasting this series.

4/5, R, 2B, HR, 3 RBI Friday
2/3, R, HR, 1 RBI, BB Saturday
1/2, R, 2B, 1 RBI, BB so far today

.700, 3 runs, 2 doubles, 2 HR, 5 RBIs, a pair of walks... dirty. He had a HBP today and I think another one earlier in the series (I couldn't catch the other 2 games), announcers were saying he's reached base 11 times this series. Pretty ridic.

glad he's out of Milwaukee (which is Algonquin for "the good land") so I can root for him

Oh yeah, I drafted the wrong Upton, B.J.

His bat has started to come alive now.

<font color=goldenrod>Mets/Rockies are likely to have a few cancellations this week because of more snow. Could lead to the Mets basically losing most of their remaining off days for later in the year since they only head out west a couple other times.</font>

D'Backs walk off the Bums :cool:

Seems there are going to be a lot of double headers in your teams future.

Had a feeling that was going to happen after I heard they signed Kevin Gregg to a minor league deal.

Had my foot halfway out of the stadium and just laughed and shook my head when I heard the sound it made off the bat.

He jammed his ankle sliding into second late in KC. Nothing to do with the turf, although I may have better range than Reyes.

Shows up at Red Sox games as well but its probably a lot easier for him to snag Yankee tickets for any game than Red Sox ones.

Yovani Gallardo has a .22 ERA this season.

Oh no wait, that was his BAC when he got arrested for DUI last night.

Ba-boom!

Damocles of the Dodgers

Posted by Paul on April 15, 2013 | Short Link

The following text was transcribed word-for-word from tonight’s broadcast of the Padres at the Dodgers game, top of the 2nd inning. Pitcher Chad Billingsley is on the mound, the opposing pitcher, Eric Stults, is at the plate.

Vin Scully, calling the action.


Quote:

“We often talk about Chad Billingsley, saying that he pitches ‘with the Sword of Damocles over his head.’ That’s an old Greek legend.

http://www.oneforfive.com/wp-content...rs-300x200.png
Chad Billingsley, Damocles of the Dodgers, waits for the Sword to fall.


The ruler was Dionysus, and he had a guy in the courtier - in the court – who would always talk about how great the ruler had it.

So finally, the ruler said, ‘Ok. I’ll tell you how great it is.’ - the pitch is high, ball two - and he had a big dinner for Damocles and there at the head of the table was the chair and the beautiful table set up. Damocles sat down and directly above his head was a huge sword and it was tied by one horse hair.

[Scully chuckles]

Damocles got the idea. 2-2 pitch on the way is fouled back.

So, of course, any time anybody’s pitching in a somewhat precarious position, I guess it applies: The Sword of Damocles.

And, with Chad Billingsley, with that touchy arm, any time he goes to the mound that’s exactly who he is: Damocles of the Dodgers.

Amarista at second, Maybin at first. This’ll be the seventh pitch to Eric Stults. Chad ready, checks, right-hander deals.

High fly ball to deep center…Kemp going back…a-way back…this one is over the wall!

Eric Stults hits it out over the centerfield fence and it’s the Padres on the scoreboard leading, three to nothing.”

Vin Scully is a poet.

We are mortal enemies for the next three days. Too bad Gonzo isnt there to saw Mo's cutter off over Jeter's head.

RP 04-16-2013 03:17 PM

Lets see what kind of record the Cubs can set tonight. Most errors in one game might be in play.

You know, I take big issues with players getting caught while DUI'ing, and MLB does nothing to them. Cabrera last year, Helton and now Gallardo this year. The media vilifies players who test positive for PEDs and they receive suspensions and pay cuts, but guys who legitimately put others lives at risk because they think they're okay to drive drunk, and when they caught, get no form of punishment or negative portrayals from neither MLB or the media.

It's fucking bullshit.

Believe it or not, this series is a big deal. Gonzo shattered my childhood, and anytime we have a shot at Arizona I want it to be a bloodletting. May the best team win, Wadding.

Frank Drebin 04-16-2013 05:41 PM

I wonder if Ian Kennedy would be doing what he's doing as a Yankee.

Shattered your childhood eh? 4 titles in 5 years not good enough for you?

Not when it could have been five. I've got some Al Davis in me.

I often try to picture things if we had traded Joba, Hughes or both rather than Kennedy.
