Kim-possible
OK, that’s a hokey headline, I know. But I stole it from ESPN’s E:60, which recently did a feature on Kim Ng, our assistant GM. I was fortunate enough to attend a luncheon today in which she and Ann Meyers Drysdale (another true legend) were honored by Kids in Sports, a very cool organization here in Los Angeles. Kim rarely get the recognition she deserves for being one of the best executives in baseball, so it was cool to see her honored today in that sort of setting. If you’re so inclined, you can donate to that great organization at the link above.
And she’ll actually be honored again this weekend, along with our famous longtime photographer, Jon SooHoo’s, whose photos you see on the site every day.
In the meantime, we start our longest homestand of the year today and hope you’ll all be out here, sitting in the new Mannywood section or anywhere else in the stadium (he got a kick out of the fact that this exists when I told him today and hopefully he’ll have some fun with those of you sitting out there).
Here’s the lineup:
Furcal, SS
Hudson, 2B
Manny, LF
Ethier, RF
Loney, 1B
Martin, C
Kemp, CF
Blake, 3B (by the way, we took the prototype of his bobblehead around the clubhouse today and the entire team was shocked how much it looks like him. If you haven’t made plans to come out yet on May 20, you can still get them but keep in mind, bobblehead nights usually sell out)
McDonald, P
I have had the honor of having my picture taken by John SooHoo at Dodger Fantasy camp when I attended some years ago. He does a great job.
New thread. I will try to be for all the games! I am sitting in the field level for one of those days
Emma
ibirken, Jon SooHoo sure does a great job with the pictures. My friends and I have copied some of his way of taking pictures.
.
I saw a special on Kim. just don’t remember where. ::scratches head:: Shades of senility
I saw the ESPN profile of Kim and it was great. She hopes one day to be the first lady GM in baseball. I think it would be fantastic if it happens for her. She’s one tough cookie!
Thanks True! You got a better memory than I do.
.
Everyone have a great weekend. I got to wrap everything here at work and head to the train station. We are having a birthday party on the train with pizza, cake, and drinks. I Today I left my car at the Burbank train station so I head to the stadium from there.
MANNYWOOOOOOD! Ha that is a great idea to get people to go to the games. We are making plans to attend and sit in the MANNYWOOD section… And oh yeah we are for sure attending Blakes bobble head game. We got our tickets, so hope to see ITD’rs there.
*
Well I do hope KIM-possible becomes the first lade GM in Baseball.
*
Last nights game was not gooooood! But I will put it behind and hope todays game is a better game.

LET’S GO DODGERS, LET’S GO!
EMMA – Have fun at the game and enjoy the cake & pizza.

As a Dodger fan I’m proud of the connection between the team and China.
11 straight games at Dodger Stadium should bring us plenty of victories and keep our hold on first place.
Starting with Jimmy Mack tonight.
GO DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
E, good job!
Loved Y.U.C.K. Enchanted!!!!!
I see on the Homepage we now have Weaver and activated Wade……sending DeWitt back down. Elbert was swnt down on Wednesday.
red pen *sent down
DeWitt seems like the odd man out this season in a no win situation for him. Doesn’t it seem as if every game is a big game even so early in the season? I mean this in two ways; big for the team and big for certain players such as McDonald and Kershaw who are trying to make their mark while playing for a big market team for which the fans have high expectations.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got done reading the Captions, and “OH MY GAWD!!!” That is too hilarious.
Courtesy of dodgereric. Its “make your own caption” day on ITD. Here’s the pix, you make the caption and add it below:

……….”If Andre doesn’t get that ball, they will expect me to throw it too”
lbirken ~ you are right. Every game is a big game and even though many think our division is weak, we can’t afford to throw games away. Especially to teams in our own division. A game lost now, even though it is early in the season can come back to bite us in the a** later.

“What would spider-man do???”
Obviously we’ll need caption day several times a year.
LMAO!!!!!!!!! That picture is something else!!!!!!!
BTW – great song enchanted!!!!!!!!! I am sure many are thinking of changing that first letter because that is what many of us think when we see him in the starting lineup. 🙂
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! Oh that picture – LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not a betting man but I have a feeling if MACK comes out early we’ll see Weaver tonight.
http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-dodgers-giants30-2009apr30,0,4776159.story
MAMA!! HELP ME MAMA!!
I am not taking that bet because I think you are right 🙂
OUTSTANDING!!!© Beav!!!!!!!!!!
LMFTO!!!!!
NICE CATCH ANDRE!!!!!!!
Hello all!!!
At least Andre wasn’t stuck to the wall – LMAO!!!!!!!! Oh, that image is going to be around for a while isn’t it?
It’s a good thing they were Dodger fans in the right field stands where ‘Dre had to go to get that foul ball.
jhall is in the ITD house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Evening sir!!!
Hey Nelly!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s kick butt tonight!!!
That would be nice jhall!!!!
Hi, Jhall.
.
Nellyjune ~ I knew you’d love the picture!
Hey Trumom!!! Yep, that is a classic!!!
I was laughing all day! I came up with a few captions that were probably not acceptable here.
.
Yeah, Andre…………..rbi #22
RBI #22 – ALRIGHT!!!!!!! FABULOUS ANDRE!!!
Sealed with a kiss from Andre to Nelly!!!!!!! Way to go
Andre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wifey dear probably didn’t go for the beard.
I sure hope the Dodger Brain Trust (I use that term loosely) signs Andre to a long term deal soon and buy out a couple of years of free agency. This guy is the real deal. If he was one step faster he would be considered a 5 tool guy.
LOL!!!! funny jhall 🙂
tru – Andre’s Song that my student did got first place in the county, and it will be displayed at the mall the second week in May.
….and I’m sure he is working on that one step faster too 🙂
pitching, pitching, pitching
That is so cool, NellyJune! Are you guys sure that Juan isn’t pitching?! lol
Crap!
We have too good of a lineup to have to worry about pitching like this. It’s amazing how we had that exact opposite problem last season.
Time for Mac to sack up!!!!!!!!!
oldbrooklyn fan – I think Weaver will make a showing tonight. Mack has already pitched 33 pitches.
There you go oldbrooklynfan!!!! He’s warming up!!!
Kid’s not ready for prime time!!! Rats!! Needs to go back to AAA. JMO!!!
Weaver is up in the pen.
Jhall ~ can we send Juan with him!
LOL Tru!! Probably only in our dreams!!!!
This is to painful to watch.
C’mon JoJo, go get him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We’re going to need a bunch of runs tonight
Kid’s trying too hard. Darn shame. Never thought I would be happy to see Jeff Weaver.
Mac is a head case. Get him off the major league club and send him back no higher than AA.
I’ve always been a negative thinker and I couldn’t fight the thought of this happening even before the game started.
He reminds me of Koufax, when he first came up, especially tonight.
This team’s in serious need of some pitching.
Nice job Ned.
“Cool! I’m batting 11th!”- Juan Pierre Thought Bubble after seeing tonight line-up card.
YEAH, MATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUAN COULD NEVER HAVE DONE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, lets get these runs back
Welcome back, Jeff Weaver.
I don’t see much choice but to dangle DeWitt, McDonald, Elbert and possibly a couple other names for some pitching.
Letting the opposing pitcher drive a run in, after you get a DP during a bases loaded situation (caused mostly by walks). UNACCEPTABLE!
After the SF debacle (should have won Monday) we need to get the power surge going now. Jeff keep us in the game!
GO DODGERS!!
Enchanted ~ I don’t think we can wait until June for pitching. If we don’t get some now, it will be too late.
Hi, Koufax ~ how are you tonight?
I’m starting to agree with you Tru.
Too early to panic gang!!!
Not many or any impact players are available this soon. Perhaps in July, if we are still in need, something worthwhile will be there.
If we have to use the pitchers we have right now, we will have to score at least 7 runs a night.
I’m afraid our bully won’t last until July Wally when we only get 1 2/3 out of our starter(s).
Panic is why we are stuck with PileOPhew!!! Also, Schidt!!!!
Also the Curacao Cow was a result of Ned’s panic and trying to fix it. Geez!!!!!! Stop the ignorance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunate Beav and very true. Bad part is, Ned is not the guy to go looking for a deal with.
yeah, Raffy & ODog!!!!!
Good evening all. Better late than never I guess. Looks like another tough outing for McDonald. UGH!
Hopefully Weaver can come in for long relief & stop the bleeding. Kuroda needs to get healthy in a hurry & get back in the rotation.
GO DODGERS!!!
Sweet!!! Way to get the kid off the hook. Now let’s win this freaking game.
New ball game!
MANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODOG
WooHoo!!!!!!!!! Way to go Manny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!!! Glad to see we have some resiliency to come back from a tough start!!!
MANNY!!!
Vl4 ~ good to see you!
MANNNNNNNNNY
Hi, Perumike ~ good to see you, too!
Thats what I am talking about!
We ever do put some real pitching together with this team – look out!
Tru B……….Doing Great! Glad to us all enjoying that back to back jacks!
GOTTA HOLD’EM NOW
This could be an exciting year, Enchanted!
Great to see you too trublu, and all our fellow ITDers. Hopefullly Weaver can keep things under control!
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Weaver. I don’t look forward to getting into our BP again too soon.
Damn Martin, you have to at least swing to hit the ball.
Marty keeps this crap up and I’m gonna be jumpin’ on messagebear’s bandwagon…
Lookout – its Weaver’s second time through the order.
Well, I am back and I can see we at least got our one run lead back…..that’s a start.
Jeff’s bobbin’ and Weaverin’.
MATTY showing one of his tools.
Because of Matt’s last catch, JP should never start again!!!!!!!!!!!
You will get no argument from me on that 🙂
I know that nobody cares but Jody Gerut got the first hit, the first HR, scored the first run, had the first RBI and was the first batter ever to bat in Citi Field.
If you love baseball, you do care 🙂 That is a great piece of history and I am sure to be a trivia question for years to come. Thank you oldbrooklynfan.
Nice job by Weaver and a nice clout out to left field.
.
LET’S GO BELASARIO!!!!

Nice job by Weaver, and nice clout to Left Field
.
LET’S GO OHMAN
I made the change on my comment but not nearly in time.
Sorry.
Manny and Andre lead in multi-hit games with 11. Way to go!!!!!!!!
What’s happened to Loney’s power? He and Martin need a better batting coach than what we have.
The fact that no catcher is hitting well, is good for Russell.
I am not sure what is up with James…..no homeruns yet 🙂
However, that is great about Manny and Andre. They are a duo that shouldn’t be separated really.
pitching, pitching, pitching
Hey everyone. I missed the first few innings, but Weaver looked pretty good from what I saw. That second catch by Matt was fantastic. They really need this game.
James has not been getting under the ball or hitting with power. I knew we were going to let them back into this hame. Oh God, we are in trouble with Ronald coming in.
Now we could almost go back to my first comment when I said,
LET’S GO BELASARIO.!!!!
NellyJune ~ send Michael down there!
Can anyone on this team pitch?
Can we run Billz out there every day? 🙂
Enchanted, if it weren’t for Bills, we’d really be in trouble right now. He’s been the only consistent starter for sure.
Is it asking too much to have a little power and good pitching all in the same year.
boblee ~ Joe’s probably thinking the same thing right about now!
LET’S GO YA BUMS!!!!!!
Back during spring training we were half joking (I think) about the offense having to score 10 runs or more a game in order to win games because of our pitching. Well, it looks like unless things change, with the exception of Billz, we just may have to do that. Once again, this is too good of a lineup to have to worry about pitching.
Let’s go, get one in to tie this thing up!
Tie game! Loretta has done a great job pinch hitting.
Loretta – hittin’ ’em where they ain’t.
Do I see a drag bunt in our future? 🙂
WAY TA GO LORETTA.
So, if Loretta can pinch hit, why do we need Juan?
LET’S GO DODGERS!!!!!
I know they sent DeWitt down but they can send XPaul up!
We don’t
Thats a question we’ll be asking ourselves for 3 more years Tru.
ALRIGHT O-DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What luck! About time some went their way.
Let’s go Dre!!!! Make them pay!!!
Andre’s first career grand slam would be nice about now.
ALRIGHT O-DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s Go Andre!!!!!!!! Yes, that would be good bluecrewgirl !!!!!
uuggghhhh!!!!!
Bummer. Hope the one run lead will be enough.
Let’s get a hold and a save!!!
OK, who’s turn is it to blow the lead in the 8th tonight?
Good hitting by O Dog lead to the break.
Enchanted ~ Charlie just said that Milton the Toaster will probably be called up because he is smaoking hot! And, Estes, too.
red pen, *smoking!
WELCOME BACK CORY WADE
I think we can all agree on one thing: this Dodger team is interesting to watch.
I am very happy to see Cory Wade back…….that is a definite positive to the pitching staff.
That was pretty funny. Glad neither one of them got hurt.
Nice job Cory!!! One more run would be really nice here!
lbirken – that is probably an understatement. I don’t think there will be any dull moments – LOL!!!
My Loney has a first name,
It’s J-A-M-E-S
My Loney has a second name,
It’s L-O-N-E-Y
I love to watch him every day
And if you ask me why I’ll say
‘Cause James Loney has a way
With H-I-T-T-I-N-G!
By leefink and martinloneykemp
Positive vibes for Martin…
Talk about getting together.
Oh well, I tried.
Alright Matt!!!!!!
weavers our new number 5 starter.no question.nice job kemp.good to see wade back.its johnny time
Great job, Matt! That extra run is great, but a few more would be nice, especially with who the Pads have coming up in the top of the 9th.
Sure glad Matt Kemp showed up tonight. I am sure the rest yesterday helped.
I’d like to see Bills, Kersh, Kuroda (when healthy), Wolf, and either Weaver or Stults. I think Stults may be the odd man out if they don’t want to use three lefties.
I know, don’t give Joe any ideas.
MATTY BABY
Casey!!!
CASEY may have sealed it.
Here’s Johnny!
Here’s Johnny!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dreaded lead off bases on balls.
He’ better find his control fast. He looks wild like he was the other night.
I hate defensive indifference. That’s just not baseball.
when broxtons in the zone,hes unhittable.the man is nasty.weaver deserved the win,but a wins a win.great game
What does Johnny Say?

COME ONE COME ALL TO THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!! ANOTHER GLORIOUS DODGER VICTORY!!! Tremendous effort by New Old Dodger Jeff Weaver. HUGE MASHING from BATMAN HUDSON and our very own MANNYWOOD. Furcal, Ethier, Kemp and Blake all with TWO HITS. BENCHBEAST LORETTA with another pinch hit. New set-up man CORY WADE with a great inning coming back from the DL. Another SAVE FROM JONATHAN BROXTON. NOTHING CAN STOP THIS TRAIN FROM PULLING AWAY IN THE WEST AND RETURNING AS CHAMPIONS IN 2009!!!!
WAY TO GO DODGER BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, he definitely found his control. Great victory!
Someone please takeover – I’m running out of alcohol…
JON…….IS ……..BAD
Very Good beavndeschenes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just get your refill from seesky 🙂
E, I am with you on the so called defensive indiference. I can see it with a big lead but not with a one or two run lead. A two run game can become a one run game so easily, and one swing of the bat and the game is tied.
Sorry E, the only alcohol I have is Kosher wine and trust me, you don’t want that!
Birk – just seems to me a force out may be easier at times than throwing across the diamond. What could be a force out may wind up as an infield hit because you’ve lost that option. Never saw that crap a few years ago.
You’re right – I need the hard stuff if I’m expected to go on.
E, the only argument that can be made about letting the runner take second is a fear of a throwing error that sends the runner to third. Kind of lame, but I guess we can put it in with quality starts, pitch counts, holds and all the other stats we never had when we were kids.
Is always a good thing to come home to a game we won. WB Weaver I really hope he can help us down the stretch and I won’t mind seeing him in our rotation but think Mcdonald need to be in the bullpen.
http://www.fangraphs.com/teams.aspx?pos=of&stats=bat&lg=all&type=0&season=2009&month=0
Interesting we have the better batting average combined from our OF’s combined.
I guess this is a good article to read and it’s look like one of our boys Mientkiewicz was defending ARod.

A little luck and a couple of clutch catches and it worked out for my boy Weaver. I always liked how he changes his arm angle.
So…a 13 man pitching staff will not get it. Two inning starts and a pen that takes turns trying to give the game back will not work. We need more than 4 bench players. We can win the West as we are now, but the playoffs? It will be interesting to see where this pitching help will come from.
I’d rather have 4 bench players if we can some how dfa Pierre and called up Paul. I think a 13 man pitching staff would work. No more Broxton come in the middle of the 8th innings to save our butt.
How different last night’s game would’ve been if Pierre was playing center. That’s why you DON’T SIT A 24 YEAR OLD 5-TOOL PLAYER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR JP.
Thank you, had to get that out of my system.
A 13 man staff blows, especially when JoJo wastes JP pinch running (can’t believe I just said that) like he did last night. You only have 4 bench players, you don’t have the luxury of pinch runners that aren’t pitchers.
Enchanted ~ What’s going to happen if they call up Milton and Estes? I think McDonald will be sent down, but what else?
I agree with Shad. We need to call up a big bat, like XPaul. He’s killing the ball right now.
Somewhere along the line we need to get a legitimate starting pitcher, whom you can reasonably expect to eat some innings and accumulate at least a .500 won lost record with the type of offense that we have. That will involve some trading over the next couple of months, although we probably have until mid-July to see if someone like Milton or Estes can work out, which in my mind is doubtful. I think we have a couple of tradeable pieces, which in my mind would certainly include Stults, McDonald, DeWitt and Hu; Mota and Pierre, as if anybody wants them. If the pitcher available is really a #1 or #2 quality, such as Halliday, I would at this point be willing to offer Martin as part of the deal. Frankly we have Ausmus for the rest of the season, and he’s proved to be so much more than the catching backup stiffs that we’ve had in the past, and I believe that Ellis will be able to provide us with the longer range catching that Martin promised but is no longer able to deliver.
If Weaver manage to at least go at least 5 innings but would Milton or Estes last 2 innings without given up a run?
A couple of quickies while I’m on a micro-break:
I felt really bad for McDonald last night. He really took that hard. Although I’m a “get back on that horse” guy, perhaps it would be a good idea to exchange him and Weaver for a while. I think a minor league return would do more harm than good to what appears to be a psyche problem at this point.
Right now we have essentially 1 pinch-hitter. Ridiculous. Paul needs to be called up, send Mota down.
Ironic, isn’t it? Or is it coincidence?
Matt Kemp = 5tool player
Juan Pierre = Stool player

Good morning everyone!
Rose _ birthday party was great. Good pizza, drinks and killer homemade brownies.

Yesterday I said “have a good weekend” and I also said it when I left work only to have people remind me that it was Thursday. I guess I am used to the boys coming back on Fridays or Mondays.
.
I am very sad that Tony Jackson was laid off from the paper. I had his blog linked to my blog and always went there to read. I will miss reading Tony’s articles on the paper which I will no longer buy and reading his blog. I hope he will find a new place. I will also miss seeing and talking to Tony at the stadium and on the road. He is very personable. Good luck Tony.
.
If you read his blog at http://www.insidesocal.com/dodgers/2009/04/scott-elbert-op.html stop by it and wish him well. thanks

It is a sad state of affairs when we only have one back-up outfielder and he is to quote Dodgereric, ” A 5stool” player!
Please pray for me my aunt just called my mother and something bad about to happen to my 97 yrs old great grandmother. Why do this have to happen? I’ve lost my uncle back in thanksgiving now this. I hate to say this but my great grandmother should be the one over my grandfather back in 2001, my aunt 2003 I think, my grandmother on my dad side in 2006 my uncle back on thanksgiving in 2008.
You’ve got 4 back-up players: Pierre and Castro can’t get the ball out of the infield, Loretta is basically a singles hitter, and Ausmus you can only use in dire emergencies.
Good plan Ned & JoJo.
Sad to hear about Tony Jackson. He seemed like one of the good guys. Needless to say that printed newspapers are probably on their way out, recession or not. Just one of the big changes taking place in the communications world. The main daily in Seattle folded a couple of weeks ago, and they are strictly maintaining an online presence with very little staff and no more printing and distribution.
Sorry Shad, hang in there.
Sorry to hear about Tony Jackson. I enjoyed reading his stuff for the most part.
Shad – I know it’s hard, but I would have to think your great grandmother has lived a long and wonderful 97 years. Think about the good stuff to get you through. As enchanted said, hang in there 🙂
pitching, pitching, pitching………………and now no bench….just wonderful!
We have plenty of pitching…
.
.
Its just that most of its not very good.
I notice the moment my mother answer that phone and it was my aunt calling that something bad was going to happen. The good thing about my uncle he take good care of his grandmother and my aunt (that used to be my grandfather and his mother) live across the street 1 door over. I really hope I could see her alive one more time I mad a big mistake with my grandmother on my dad side not talking to her but I was sleep and promiss to called her the end of the week but a week later my uncle said she pass away. I still blame myself oh what happen and one year later on that day I had my high school reunion in July 07 but that memory was still in my head and I couldn’t really enjoy my time.
Why couldn’t she be 35 years younger lol.
Oops should’ve been my grandfather house that my aunt is now living at.
Sorry Shad. My prayers are with you.
oops mad=made damn it really hard to type and spell right when you so nervous.
Thanks everyone.
Hang in there Spit! Celebrate her wonderful 97 years of life.
emma
Yeah is amazing she live this long to bad I never really knew my other 3 great grandparents and my other grandmother on my mother side passing away in 1982 when I was 4 too young so I really only knew my grandmother on my dad side. She always buy me a plane ticket to Chicago, Houston and sometime her and me always drive to other states to see more family members like Montgomery for the summer. I’ve been seeing her when I was 4 every summer until I was like 12 flying alone and than I got tired of them when I got older lol.
I really wish she was still living. I don’t have any kid yet but someday I will and she going to miss out on them.
I was 3 when my mom passed away so I don’t remember her but I was raised by my grandmother on my dad’s side. I was devastated when she passed away when I was 21(long time ago).
SHAD – Prayers go out to you, your family and of course your grandmother. She is very lucky to be living at 97. Pray for the best and hang in there.

EMMA – I’m glad you enjoy the food and the BROWNIES mmm mmm! I am sure that you had a great time at the game. DODGERS WERE GREAT…KEMP was awsome (those catch he made were outstanding). MANNY, BLAKE & HUDSON what can I say. I do wish MARTIN comes back with his power he does seem thinner than last year?? Well girl hope to see you during BLAKES bobblehead game, I will be there, along with 15 other of my FAM BAM.
