Welcome to the newest members of the Dodgers! With Jim Thome, we now have #12 and #15 on the all-time home run hitting list. We’d have to coax Reggie Jackson and Mike Schmidt out of retirement to get #13 and #14.

* Bad NPR pun best I could do on short notice. ;)
Am I surprised Clint Hurdle was canned as Rockies manager? No, I am not.
Does it bode well for Rockies fans that former Dodger manager Jim Tracy is taking over the helm? No, it does not.
Do I think the Dodgers have much to worry about from the Rockies and their new skipper? No, I do not.
Am I making fun of Jim Tracy’s methods of answering reporters’ questions by posing a new question and then answering that question instead?
Yes.
Yes, I am.
Lincecum gets all the cool commercials.
The punch line of course is that the gangster gets a hit at the end and wins the game. ;)
Just spent some time reliving one of the happiest nights of my life.
Woke up early this morning and found I’d fallen asleep with the MLB Network going last night. This probably explains why random Dodgers started showing up in my dreams just before I woke up to find the network was replaying the glorious 9/18/2006 Dodgers comeback against the Padres, also known as the “4+1″ game.
We were lucky enough to be there that night, and I wrote about it the next day: “11-10″.
The replay is up to the bottom of the 10th. Kenny Lofton is coming up. Nomar is on deck.
The Dodgers’ seven homeruns and the 11-10 final score is quite a contrast to last night’s Dodgers-Padres game and Russell Martin’s walk-off walk. It was also awesome to see all the “kids” celebrating who are now starting and excelling.
I miss Nomar. I hope he’ll have a role with the team once he decides to retire.
The last two Dodger games (against the Giants, so it’s that much sweeter), the starters have:
Ahem.
