I ain't tryna have no part of the July Sun beaming on me

although at SD you get that nice breeze.

sounds tempting

yo bigmike that fitted you got at the ballpark ... was that top button thing BLUE OR WHITE? I keep seeing the white top ones, I'm looking for a blue one.Does that make sense?

That white %!%% bugs the hell out of me.

 

[bigmike23]

white top

 

[beermann2]

Happy 4th fellas.

Damn, Dodger fans migrated south. All I see is Dodger blue on tv.

Aren't all hats with the white top? mine is.

 

[sinser13]

and we have a game

 

[Los Angeles]

Bats fell asleep after the first

 

[sinser13]

great win, nice to have manny back

 

[p mac one]

Kuo pitched another inning of relief for the AZL team today.

No hits, no runs, 1 BB, 2 K.

The thought of what our bullpen could be if Kuo can comeback somewhat healthy is pretty scary.

 

[Los Angeles]

PMAC and Hong Chi Kuo, it never ends.

Na but Leach / Ohman / Kuo I don't think they'd keep 3 lefty relievers so someone would have to be the odd man out.

I'm content with the BP, let's just add a veteran starter who can go past the 6th.

Any word on MKZ?

There's an explanation for that.

Kuo didn't pitch for like 3 years (from 02 - 05) because he had numerous arm surgeries. Before the surgeries, nobody around the Dodgers message boardsseemed to know a whole lot about him, but right when he came back there were reports that he was hitting 99 on the gun. (in 05 he struck out 86 guys in 54 IPin A and AA

). At the time, everybody anointed him the next BillyWagner. If he can get healthy, and stay healthy, there's no doubt that he can be effective.

Plus, he had that bat flip off John Maine

 

[Los Angeles]

we'll never forget that bat-flip.

I see what you're saying, but like I said during the off-season it's so hard to put trust in a guy with the injuries that he's had.

I wish the best for him and hope he can give us anything for the second part of the season.

Happy 4th of July folks, BBQ and a Dodger game what can be better?

Edit: I see someone here

I don't know if anybody saw this, because I posted it right before the game.

 

[Los Angeles]

Is that the one where they talk about like Kevin Brown, Driefort, Gagne?

Also how Beltre and JD Drew wanted to stay with the Dodgers

!@%%@% Bora$$.

I clicked to see if it was but its saying I need to be a member to read it.

 

[p mac one]

Yeah, it is.

Weird that I could read it last night, but can't now.

"Kuo is doing very well," Torre said. "We're very excited about that."

[h1]Olney's Latest: Atlanta's Potential Trade Partners[/h1]
By Mike Axisa [July 4 at 10:59am CST]

ESPN.com's Buster Olney chimes in with some players and teams that could matchup in a trade with the Braves, who could dangle Javier Vazquez and/or Yunel Escobar as bait. Most of the rumors are just Olney's own speculation, but let's round 'em up anyway.

• The Red Sox have liked Escobar for a while, but don't match up very well for a trade.
• Olney mentions that Jacoby Ellsbury might be the only fit since JD Drew is owed a ton of money and Jason Bay will be a free agent after the year, but that wouldn't work for Boston since they would then need to find another centerfielder.
• Olney speculates that the Red Sox could use their young pitching to engage a third team in a trade, mentioning that Matt LaPorta, Shin-Soo Choo and Corey Hart could be a good fit.
• Boston could eat some of the money left on Julio Lugo's deal to give Atlanta a stop-gap shortstop should they deal Escobar.
• The Red Sox are not interested in Jeff Francoeur.
• If Milwaukee and Atlanta discussed a Vazquez-Hart swap, the Brewers would likely have to kick in another piece.
• The Twins could offer one of their many outfielders in exchange for Escobar. Delmon Young might not be enough to entice the Braves, but Michael Cuddyer or Denard Span could be.
• The Dodgers would love to add Vazquez to their rotation, but Juan Pierre probably wouldn't be enough given his lack of power.
• The A's could package Matt Holliday and Orlando Cabrera, both free agents after the season, for Escobar, who would step in as Oakland's shortstop of the future.

That would be HUGE!!!

 

[p mac one]

Javy Vasquez has said numerous times that he only wants to pitch on the East Coast.

*#*! him anyways

 

[p mac one]
