Ethier- Called S, foul, ball, golfed another foul to the left, foul to the left again, iRod out to chat with RoyO, went golfing again and struck out swinging. 2 outs, runners on 2nd and 3rd.

Bleh. I hate how I type "post" and walk away for a minute, then come back to find that my post didn't post.


I missed the Kaz's out due to serving children fried rice, and barely saw some Dodger little league antics which assisted Miggy with getting safely to first, and at the moment, Berkman's at 2-and-2.

Dodgers 3rd:

Clemens being interviewed in the seats. Kinda got the Guy Fieri thing going with the visor and spiky hair.

Missed the 1st out while checking on the Rangers game. Clemens still being interviewed while on his laptop. C'mon, y'all, I'm missing the pbp here while y'all are making environmental divot jokes.

Furcal's now at 1-2. Foul, bouncer to Berkman who jogs to 1st for the 2nd out.

Brownie: "I spoke to Lance, who says there was no doubt that he was on the base last night for that out..." etc etc etc.

Hudson- b, b, b, called S, foul popup to Kep for the 3rd out.

Dodgers 0.

ManRam with a swinging strikeout. Yee haw!

Ethier- S, b, smack to CF bounces off the visitors' bullpen for a double. Ethier on 2nd, 1 out.

So is this Roy's curveball not being there yet, or is this Roy needing to reevaluate how he goes after hitters at this stage in his career?

The latter, I think.

Hunter might grip it and rip it with a bat, but he's dainty with a hammer.  He wasnt doing anything to that nail but irritating it.

Berkman walked, Lee singled, Hunter K'd, then Michaels crushed one over Kemp's head in center, scoring both Berkman and Lee. Michaels got thrown out trying to leg a triple.
