OK, that’s a slight exaggeration. But after Hideki Kuroda buzzed The Flyin’ Hawaiian in the top of the 3rd at Chavez Ravine (obvious retaliation for a number of purpose pitches aimed at L.A. teammates), “words were exchanged”, and the inevitable bench clearer was mostly notable for no fewer than a half dozen Dodger associates having to restrain their left fielder.
(even tougher when he’s not manhandling 67 year olds)
I’m a poor lip reader but if Ramirez had the prescence of mind to challenge Brett Myers to throw a punch at someone besides the latter’s wife, all of that running down to first base in 20 second is forgiven. After jumping all over Jamie Moyer in a 6 run first inning, the Dodgers lead 7-1 in the last of the 5th. Kuroda has allowed no damage besides a Ryan Howard double and subsequent Pedro Feliz RBI single. Not that I’d ever wish to see a probable Hall Of Famer hampered by injury, but Henry Winkler’s had more face time than Lt. Dangle.
I dunno, Torre’s 68 – I think this is as tough Manny gets.
i take back what I said about lip reading. Manny is clearly telling Davey Lopes he’ll take him on any time, any place.
“but Henry Winkler’s had more face time than Lt. Dangle.”
Ha! i’m really sorry about all of the bad things i’ve said about you now.
you’re easily as creative as the goo goo dolls.
Even years after they were teammates, you can see the effect Pedro Martinez and the Zimmer toss had on the poor impressionable Manny Ramirez.
Hey, have you ever heard that song that goes “Baby come back…you can blame it all on me..?” shit fucking rules and I was wondering if you liked it as much as me?
Oh come on Gerard, you’ve got me in moderation?
Are you serious? Why don’t you just go the way of the Deadspin and have commenter approvals/denials?
Most of what I’ve said has just been teasing, but I’m surprised you’re acting so insecure. I’m just a blog commenter, I can’t really hurt you? Don’t answer that, I think I might lose some respect for ya.
For as long as I’ve known you you’ve never been worried about what people like me think of you…what’s changed? Why are you suddenly acting weird?
I still can’t believe you haven’t figured out who I really am.
psfd….qr….frdm. I know you’ll understand 🙂
believe it or not, you’re not the first or even the 10th CSTB commenter to have your effervescent offerings end up in a moderation queue. That said, some of Rog’s old handiwork seems positively statesmanesque by comparison.
“I still can’t believe you haven’t figured out who I really am.”
Andrew Giuliani? Daniel Baldwin? Oksana Baiul? Benny Mardones? I guess this is destined to be one of those great unsolved mysteries.
Wait. I thought everyone was moderated. You mean I brought this upon myself?
It was that Eddie Griffin obit episode, wasn’t it?
I’m moderated at work, but not at home. I assumed it was some type of IP thing set by WordPress.
As far as baseball: thank God that I don’t have today off so that I’ll get to miss the Red Sox game. Watching a post-season ALCS game featuring a great rivalry definately does not deserve to be on prime-time. Good going, MLB. I’m not so sure that they’ll win their time slot, either, since they’ll be going up against Oprah and the Tyra Banks show.
I was gonna claim Rog is so much more reasonable at home than in the workplace but the real fact of the matter is I lost track of his IP addresses and just gave up. Censoring America’s bold thinkers is a full time job and I’m just too lazy.
