Free James Loney Dodger Dog

Found August 07, 2009 on Sons of Steve Garvey:
PLAYERS: James Loney
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers,  Pittsburgh Pirates

From a Dodgers press release: The Los Angeles Dodgers will offer fans a free Dodger Dog, courtesy of Farmer John, on Monday, September 14 when the Dodgers host the Pittsburgh Pirates at 7:10 p.m. Farmer John, a 51-year partner, and the Dodgers will distribute vouchers to all fans good for one Dodger Dog as they enter the turnstiles. This promotion falls somewhere between the All-You-Can-Eat Pavilion and free parking. Will the lure of a hot dog worth $5 bring more fans out on a Monday night? All I know is they better get there early, because the concession lines are going to make it look like they're giving away iPhones stuffed with Hannah Montana tickets. An additional curiosity: The Dodgers will also have a hot dog eating contest on free Dodger Dog night. Fans will have the chance to win a seat upgrade and passes to a DodgerLIFE "Under the Lights" event where they can take batting practice on the field. I'm not a big fan of eating contests (so much gluttony...

This Isn't Funny Anymore

Via Memories Of Kevin Malone  |  August 06, 2009
For a while, it was actually entertaining to watch Jason Schmidt attempt to get major league hitters out with a combination of smoke and mirrors, but the novelty is beginning to lose its edge for me. At first, it was like watching Prince Fielder run or Adam Dunn play defense, but i'm almost embarrassed for him at this point.Note: I would watch a 30 minute game show that consisted...

Game 110 Thread: Aug 7 vs. Braves, 7p

Via Sons of Steve Garvey  |  August 07, 2009
Chad Billingsley (11-6, 3.82) vs. Jair Jurrjens (9-8, 2.85). COMMENTS: Last night's tumultousness helped to perpetuate the alternating win-loss pattern the Dodgers have been holding for the past seven games. Both starters are eager to prove they can go longer than five innings in tonight's rematch of last Sunday's matchup, Jurrjens without getting shelled and Billingsley...

Milwaukee Brewers star Prince Fielder and Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Guillermo Mota have been fined for their run-in this week. Major League Baseball will not suspend them. The amounts of the fines were not disclosed Thursday. Mota hit Fielder in the ninth inning of a 17-4 win Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, presumably as payback for Milwaukee's Chris Smith...

Braves' turn for late drama in L.A.

Via Sports Page Atlanta  |  August 08, 2009
Los Angeles - If Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers left the Braves stunned by its abrupt ninth-inning reversal of fortunes, Friday's marathon win left them upset and angry early and tired and slightly mollified late. . . .

Spike, Phase II

Via Batter's Box  |  August 08, 2009
Remember Spike Lundberg? Spike is quietly retiring and moving into another area of his baseball career -- read on for details. Lundberg, a one-time Syracuse SkyChief (pictured, left) was a good friend to Batter's Box in his brief run through the Jay organization, even joining us here online in 2004-05 for some Q&A, the cleverly-named Ask Spike and Ask Spike II...
