You can't assume a double play. Yeah, that's what I thought - but I wasn't sure I heard right because I'm listening to Rick Monday over a rather staticy radio.
-
Lee couldn't dig out the relay.
-
I believe I heard Lee dropped the relay on a potential DP - but that isn't an error, right?
-
May those of us who can't watch because TiVo has to record "House" and cannot possibly allow then to still watch the game please get updates? :x
-
Woulda tied the modern era record for second baseman with that error. :(
-
Error and not a hit? Was that a 3 base error? Yeah. Kid sure is exciting.
-
Awesome.
-
3 errors? He should have 4.
-
Hey, Bynum didn't throw away a chance! And now Jaque flashes the leather.
-
Drew Tate will play for Iowa this weekend.
-
Mercy call for Bynum, eh? Might as well set the record...

A convo with my former roommate, a Dodger fan: Dodger Fan (5:17:22 PM): your 2nd baseman is sweet Dodger Fan (5:18:00 PM): sorry to rub it in but no wonder they are doing so bad Dodger Fan (5:31:49 PM): oh my god Dodger Fan (5:32:01 PM): your 2nd baseman is the worst i've ever seen in my life Dodger Fan (5:32:29 PM): i'd be mad if i were you Dodger Fan (5:32:34 PM): and furcal went deep Dodger Fan (5:34:11 PM): your announcer just said "can we have a do-over here, can we just start this one over?" hahaha

Charlie Steiner was ripping the Cubs for their lack of OBP while they were hitting, noting that only Lee and Murton have OBPs over .350. Yay outside media for getting it. P.S. It sucks that Vin Scully does so few TV games these days. Steve Lyons is not a good announcer.

Holy crap, that was a pretty dumb risk on Bynum's part with Lee up next.
-
WTG, Bynum. 2-0 Dodgers. WTG Bynum Part II. 3-0 Dodgers. Now 4-0 in the middle of the 1st.
-
Ooof, already 1-0 Dodgers.
-
Now 3-0.

That explains why the Braves have been in the cellar all those years...it's the humidity! Oh, wait...

Raisin, in your opinion do you think he is better than Ryan Zimmerman? I think he is head and shoulders better, perhaps not as good defensively, but is far superior offensively. I don't see how KC has kept him down all year. Oh yeah I am leaving to go see him play in an hour. Go Wichita beat those darn Astors. Yeah, he's much better than Zimmerman. Better power, more discipline, Gordon's bat is just much better than Zimmerman's. (And Zimmerman is a heck of a player: .285/.352/.466/.818 in his first full big league season and probably one of, if not the best third baseman defensively in the game). I like what KC did, especially since Gordon was struggling in June. I can see why they wouldn't want to bring him up in August-September in regards to starting his arby clock and also, they're giving him some minor league playoff experience. Here's the writeup from BA: http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/news/262429.html

Is this b/c of the long season he just played or do teams do this for most 1st year players? Just the long season. At this point in his development, instructs should be as helpful for Colvin as going anywhere in Latin America anyways. Some teams do send their higher-rated college draft picks somewhere (especially if they took too long to sign). For example, the Cubs are sending Steve Clevenger to Hawaii.
