Now, if we could just keep a key player from going on the DL seemingly every week. The loss of Ethier's bat in the lineup is not going to be helpful.

Still, gotta love a sweep, especially against the Padres!

2 of the wins without Ethier. The Dodgers are riding a wave of swagger right now, and rightfully so with a nice string of quality starts and an offense to be reckoned with. But it's only a matter of time before one of those two pieces breaks (and with Ethier's injury, it might improbably end up being offense before pitching) and I have no faith that they'll ride out that slump and come back strong. But hey, if a sweep of SD in SD is ends up being the season high point, I'll take it.

I'm imagining you both with your hair moussed, your teeth capped, wearing a loud suit with a tiny knotted tie, speaking really loudly and being filmed from below to make you look like gods.

Do you know of any job listings?

Well, it looks like the unexpectedly hopeful start to the season is coming to an end.

5 game losing streak, but more importantly over those five games the A's have scored just 5 runs -- 3 of them in a single game. They have not had a 3-run inning since May 4. It's just not a team that is going to get many runs and the pitching isn't compensating.

Giants and Rays in the World Series. Giants win.

So far, so good.

Yeah, it is important to recognize that while they shouldn't be tasered, the people who run on the field are generally idiots (whether natural or chemically induced).

Though I must admit that if tasing becomes the norm, I'd be tempted to run out on the field. I'm kind of curious what it is like to be tasered.

I knew the Padres were going to be a bit vengeful when they came into town.

Also made my night to hear that Manny hurt his foot. Good health is certainly not one of the team's strong points right now.
