Sons of Steve Garvey
| Comments
Back in a gentler time (April 2008), this fearless blogger posted one of my prized possessions: a picture of the famous Bill Buckner error signed by losing pitcher Bob Stanley. During the pre-Jon and Kate divorce era, I defied "all sports fans to come up with a signed piece of...

Brrrrrrrrr.
Vicente Padilla (0-0, -.--) vs. Joel Pineiro (0-0, -.--).
Thursday's game-time temperature at Dodger Stadium: 71 degrees. Today's high in St. Louis: 60 degrees. Today's low: 38 degrees. In other words, the Dodgers can expect a chilly reception at Busch Stadium...

Driving home and listening to Vin Scully, even in a Dodgers loss, is still a joy. There's something about the calming melodic tones of his voice, or the seamless interweaving of the game at hand along with the stories and backgrounds of the players...
A Lesson from Loretta

And now a word from Mrs. Orel....
If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.

What happened Thursday was not luck.
Mark Loretta, 38, waited on the bench, prepared and...

It seems like only a minority of SoSG readers can appreciate this, but I couldn't share the joy of being at Thursday's incredible come-from-behind 3-2 victory at the Stadium. I was apparently the only guy in LA that had to work. And "watching" this game via mlb.com...
On Second Thought, Maybe Wainwright Has A Point

Sons of Steve Garvey

I just went back and checked my DVR recording of the 2009 NLDS Game 2, on frame-by-frame advance. And now that I've looked at it, maybe Adam Wainwright's concern has some validity.
Aw, nuts.

Enough With The Towel Excuse
October 09, 2009 by
Sons of Steve Garvey
| Comments
Okay, there is a lot of talk about Adam Wainwrong's post-game comment that the white towels may have distracted Roy Holliday, causing him to botch what would have been the game-ending, win-clinching catch of a James Loney fly ball. Here's Wainwright's quote:
"He lost...

Sons of Steve Garvey

The Pantheon needs a little bit of reconstruction here (honestly, I couldn't find the old file, so this is even more of a hackjob than this hallowed hall deserves). But I had to get this up today....
Thank you, Matt Kemp, for giving the team confidence, the crowd life, and the...

For starters, they don't want an MLB manager in the first place.

While all of you were enjoying the flush of an unexpected hand-wrapped victory, something happened this day that will live in infamy. Like a popfly right at Matt Holliday's groin, the UFL (United Football League) dropped on an unprepared and ill equipped mankind in front of a...

I wouldn't mind seeing more of this.
Clayton Kershaw (0-0, -.--) vs. Adam Wainwright (0-0, -.--).
What, we don't even get to bask in the afterglow of the Dodgers' Game 1 victory for at least 24 hours? There's no reason to believe Adam Wainwright will be as ineffective...

Apprehension. The game didn't start out well for the Dodgers, with Randy Wolf loading the bases (including a IBB to Albert Pujols) in the first inning. (That's bad.) But then Wolf struck out Matt Holliday for the first out. (That's good.) And then Ronnie Belliard let a...

Andre Ethier is just about to react to getting hit on the foot in the third inning of last night's game. He would come around to score on Mark DeRosa's mishandling of Casey Blake's single.
