Yep. Road streak is now at 15 straight wins. Second best all time in the NL.

The Dodgers are the greatest team of Road Warriors since Hawk and Animal

Who's the Dodgers best hitter? Not Piug, Gonzalez, Kemp, or Ramirez. It's Greinke. He has been batting over .400 all year and still is

Without looking it up, I knew who had the highest batting average on the 1967 Red Sox, which was Yaz's Triple Crown season. Dan Osinski. He hit .333 (3-9), was given a job over the winter working in the Red Sox ticket office (most journeymen major leaguers had to work in the off-season because their baseball salaries were not large enough to support them year-round) and then was released just before the next season began.

A-Rod gets suspended through 2014 season starting Thursday.

and no punishment for the Yankees that condone these cheaters until they are caught. Can you say the great white steriod ape jason Giambi? if these teams start giving up wins, championships and recieving a death penalty then things will change but not until then.

More harsher punishment is needed against the players. 50 games is a joke. That's basically a vacation for these guys. First ofense should be for a full 162 games. 2nd offense is banishment. You have to hit them in the pocket book or this will never stop.

Greinke has a bit more than 9 ABs. In fact he is currently 19 for 37 on on the season

Amazing streak. One of the best I have seen. The 1984 Tigers started the season 35-5. The 1975 Reds won 41 of 50 games in the middle of that season. Those are the only two I can remember that compare with the current Dodger streak.

If MLB and the players union were serious about getting rid of PED's they will increase the penalty's when a player is caught. Also, why can't teams put something in the contracts about this issue? If a player is caught, they can void the contract. At this point A-Rod, even if suspended the entire 200 plus games will still collect over $60 million. Yes, I get it, the teams agree to the contract but there should be something written into the contract or the basic agreement where a player should suffer financial penalty's if he is caught cheating. Losing a few million one year but coming back and getting paid 50 million for the life of the contract seems silly. Seriously, where is the penalty in that aspect? If the teams who are interested in signing Cruz and other FA's who were caught cheating don't put clauses in the contracts on this issue, how can fans really believe baseball is serious on this issue? I know this will probably never happen but the rewards far outweigh the possible punishment at this point. It seems the players don't care about their reputation so means little if anything. So, fix it where they SUFFER financially.

One more point. I think I heard that when A-Rod catches Willie Mays home run total that brings him in another cool $6 million. That is so wrong on so many levels in my opinion.

The "other" Steven Wright, the Red Sox latest knuckleballer, has given up two runs in the first inning on one hit with no RBI: each run came home on a passed ball.

I predict that someone will make some kind of cerebral Steven Wright joke ouf of this, incorporating the notion that if a catcher is someone who is catching something, then he isn't a catcher if he isn't catching anything. I haven't worked it out, but the material is there, like, if a painter is someone who paints, is he a painter between brushstrokes?

 

[AntAltMike]

The first inning of Wright's first start is over. Four passed balls, one wild pitch. An inning that will live in infamy. I remember the Red Sox brought a catcher in to be tTim Wakefield's knuckleball catcher a few years back, and if I'm not confusing him with another loser, after a bunch of passed balls he said he was homesick and begged management to trade him back to the team they got him from.

 

[AntAltMike]

The Red Sox gave up on Wright after the first inning. 38 pitches, 18 strikes. He retired the last two batters he faced and threw nine strikes with no passed balls and only one wild pitch among his final 16 pitches.

I remember that the Red Sox used to keep two knuckleballers under contract in the minors, just so there would be a backup catcher available for Wakefield if his regular catcher got injured. I wonder if Lavarnway ever caught Wright in the minors.

Doug Mirabelli. He travelled back from SD in a private jet and got a state police escort from the airport. I believe he also changed into his Red Sox uniform in the cruiser....

Looks like the Dodgers road win streak will end at 15. They are down 2-1 in the 6th. Kershaw is pitching one of his worst games this year. Laboring big time with 2 runs through 6 innings and 2 BB.

The fact the the Dodgers never give him run support that one run they scored for him maybe all he gets.

dodgers end 15 game road win streak

 

[DodgerKing]

Kershaw stunk it up big time giving up 2 runs in 6 innings. Truly pathetic outing. Even worse was the lack of offense.

The Dodgers have, by one means of accounting, a payrol of $241 million, so they can pay $41 million to Crawford and Gonzales, each of whom is pretty good but not worth his annual salary, and still have $200 million to pay to the other players. I still don't see the economics of this level of expenditure in their television marketplace which, while large, simply may not be elastic enough in response to success to get people watching the ads on cable TV broadcasts, which is the only way to recoup that salary largess.
