Hmm. No Phillips, Ludwick, Pena.

It might just be Price sitting BP and Ludwick against the very tough RHP.

Pena needed a rest, playing almost every day.

Interesting.

Poor Lutz has to face the hot Greinke when he finally gets in a game.

Is your wife going to act as a shield, or are you hoping she can apply a tourniquet for your wounds.

Encore anyone? Zack Greinke has allowed 2 ER or less in 22 straight starts. Unprecedented. Dodgers 17-5 in the 22 games. Greinke 14-2, 1.76.

Larry Schuler

We never discussed, nor officially ruled out, the female shield technique as it pertains to a Dodger Stadium attack but she did express some disapproval when it was presented as the freedom fighters' main line of defense during the Bundy farm news coverage.

Why would you have 50 Cent throw out a first pitch?

"Daddy who's 50 cent?"
"Good question son, he's "an artist" who like to sing about drugs, murdering people, and b****es."
"Why does he do that?"
"Son, he's a poser who can't throw."

I first was liking his penchant to shake things up. Until I started seeing Cozart 2nd and now Mes batting 3rd when he's 0 for his last 90 and pulls EVERYTHING. Now it's just kinda sad as he flips everything almost daily. If he has the balls to get BP out of the 3 hole when maybe we are onto something.

I don't want to get into a Price vs. Baker mode, but this guy (Price) and his lineups just drive me nuts. Bernadina is the player that mystifies me because he simply isn't a good ballplayer. His handling of pitchers is horrible and despite the team headed for disaster, he tends to think it's just bad luck. It's not. Despite the inuries, his in-game management is really strange.

I'm 65 (yeah, I'm a geezer) and the 2010-2013 was the best in my lifetme other than the BRM. He just make some mistakes. The Ondrusek and Hanihan contracts were sorry. The multi-year contracts to scrubs are inexcusable, but otherwise, it's been pretty good for quite a while. I disagreed with the hiring of Price, but that must have been Cast's call anyway.
