He would be an expensive pinch runner.

The key phrase in my sentence being "If we had a good offense".

I don't care if McCourt spends $300 million on Pierre as long as it doesn't stop us from fielding a good starting lineup.

Now THAT was a baserunning blunder. No way Kemp should have headed home on such a good carom to Burrell. In fact, Raffy had his hand up as he was rounding and heading home. I didn't see what Donnelley's sign was, but if he was swingin' his arm while pointing at home, he needs to be ****ing fired.

Kent doubles deep to left-center and Ethier bangs him in with a two-run shot here in the 4th. 3-0 Dodgers.

Lowe's looking good. No fly ball outs so far.

Ethier needs to be playing everyday. I'd love to see him get an extended look in the 2 spot. Over his career he's had the most success hitting in the 5-7 spots but I like his speed and his ability to get on base (.364 career) over Pierre's.

Kent with his second double of the night...knocks Kemp in from 1st. 4-1 Dodgers.

Kemp looked to be limping (to me) around third.

Jeezus did you all see what was going on in Baltimore??

Freakin' football game.

And they have the second game of the double-header to play, still.

Loney's double knocks Kent in. 5-1.

Dodgers have opened it way way up. 10-1 in the 7th with two outs and Lowe is hitting for himself.
