I just got tickets to the game and my first thought? Crap, I'm going to miss the Oregon-Cal game. :(

Haha. I have to miss the Oregon-Cal game because of work as well.

Mets already up 3-0 on Maddux in the 1st. Still batting with 2 outs.

ESPN had an article on the Dodgers starting Maddux today that had this quote in it:

In noting Maddux's 4.69 ERA with the Cubs, one Mets official said, "His stuff was still good, but the [Cubs'] defense was terrible. You'd see the line score from a lot of games, five to six runs, but really it should've been two."

The problem is that JH likes guys that can catch the ball, not guys who can range over to the ball or throw the ball.

That comment really is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. To imply that at least half of Maddux's earned runs were due to lack of defense is insane.

Agree. So it's the defense's fault that Maddux hung pitches right over the middle of the plate? What's the defense supposed to do when the ball gets hit hard in the gap or if it's hit out of the park? He had a heck of a month in April, but let's be honest...he was absolutely brutal in May and June and the start of July before his last couple of starts. To blame the defense for his struggles is pretty absurb.

tie game!

Did anyone else hear McCarver slip up trying to say "double shift?" That wasn't just me, right?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Lofton got caught napping.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Buck and McCarver are making my ears bleed, back to football for me.

Now I don't have to worry about my dad bragging about the Dodgers winning the World Series.
