He wasn't playing. He was a free agent and no one was signing him.

I personally would rather believe he and Jeff Garcia are closeted gay men than that their actual preference for wives was Playboy Playmates.

Not a bad showing for Kershaw. First road game, got himself into trouble but worked his way out of some jams. He made a perfect pitch to Reyes, DeWitt should have turned that double play, gotten him out of the inning, and hopefully through to a better 5th. Tough break, but I think it was a good second outing overall. Definitely looking like the real deal.

Saturday - Dodgers vs Angels.

The boys in blue had no hits.

The Angles allowed no hits through a full nine innings.

The game was not recorded as "no hitter"

The dodgers won by a score of 1 to 0.

I love this game.

And yet the problems with the game is summed up in the sentence "He probably could have gone another inning or two." While there is beauty in the agonizing decision to remove someone pitching a no-hitter for offensive reasons, taking him out because he reached his pitch count limit is just gross. Harvey Haddix is spinning in his grave.

Actually, to be precise, it was not a full 9 innings, the Angels only pitched in 8 innings (since the Dodgers were the home team and had the lead, they never batted in the 9th). Thus the game does not count as an official no hitter.

No hits? Bo-ring! I saw that game... snooze-ola. If ya wanna see hits, fellas, watch football.
:D

Reminds me of Carlin's Baseball and Football sketch.

I can't watch that sketch anymore. During the years I had a season pass to Magic Mountain, they played it incessantly on the TVs in the ride queues. I had it memorized and never ever want to see it again.

You should perform it for us sometime.

I'm going to an Angels baseball game tonight. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are playing the Oakland Athletics. We have good seats for tonight. My friend Cam has season tickets for front row seats over the Angels' dugout. I hope no foul balls come our way, there's no one to hide behind if it's coming too fast to catch. I may be on TV tonight.

Dodgers looked good tonight. Hiroki Kuroda was one hit away from a perfect game and not a single Braves hitter was able to get up to three balls (so obviously no walks). Also, Angel Berroa made a great play in the ninth that I would have loved to have seen (was only listening on the radio).

So, even though the Dodgers are at less than .500 (.494 to be specific), they are now tied for first place.
