I'm over the Brian Wilson thing.Greinke is pretty interesting. Belisario is an interesting bullpen arm as is Kenley Jansen. If Brian Wilson isn't interesting, it sure isn't from lack of trying.I'll give you Hanley. Gonzo and Zack aren't interesting. In fact, Gonzo seems like a run of the mill schmuck.Outside of Puig and Kershaw, what's intetesting about the Dodgers?Uribe? Schumaker?I didn't say they were bad. I said they were boring. And they still are.
Gonzo? Hanley? Zack?
Though he looked great last night and I'm not fired up about the prospect of the Braves needing to score run on him.

That's right! Rafael Palmeiro is the correct answer.

I really just don't get what Selig's trying to accomplish.
He goes on Lupica this morning. Lupica casts his bait, asking Selig if it bothers him that so many fans think they looked the other way during the steroid era. Of course, Selig goes through a 20 year timeline defending MLB's actions trying to fight the MLBPA getting a strong policy in place.
Um, Selig, you've got a pretty exciting postseason going on right now.
A smart commish says, "Lupica, I appreciate the question and I'd love to talk about that sometime, but I'd rather talk about the kid with 10 MLB starts under his belt going toe to toe with a former MVP in a game that ended with walk-off hit from another rookie"
Or maybe try to swing a couple eyeballs away from Peyton Manning towards the Pirates trying to take 2-1 lead in the NLDS later today.

I couldn't sleep this morning, so I watched this thing on Showtime called Knuckleball! One of the best baseball docs I've ever seen. Interviews, game clips and behind the scenes stuff with R.A. Dickey, Tim Wakefield, Charlie Hough, Phil Neikro and others. Really well done. If you have some time to spare, I highly recommend checking it out.

Went soft away one too many times in a row on Mr. Gattis.

Nice.
JT's gonna have to settle down or it'll get ugly, but he gutted that inning out nicely (and got a little luck)

Will have to watch this. Fond memories of one of my Babe Ruth coaches teaching me to throw one when I was 13. Guy was like 80 years old an a janitor at the High School, but just bled baseball.Raider Nation said:

The thing that struck me the most is that these are all really good guys. Not sure if you have to be a humanitarian in order to be a knuckleballer, but it sure did work out that way. Also, a guy I played softball with threw a perfect knuckler -- no spin at all, but it was just way slower than these guys throw it. He tried to teach me and I just never got it.

####. That was a pretty good pitch too.

Oh dear. Now we have to hope LAD keeps Ryu in the game a little while longer.
Crap. Nevermind that plan.

Braves season rests on the outcome of Kershaw vs. Freddy Garcia. This should be fun.

How does Freddy Garcia end up pitching in an elimination game? How does that happen?

Footballguy
I voted that we just sweep them and be done with it, but nobody listened to me.
It's going to make for a great story though.

1.65 ERA this year since being traded to the NL.Freddy Garcia isn't still pitching in the big leagues is he?

Holy hell.
I know Kershaw's very good and all, but a sac bunt from Upton in the first inning? You've got to be kidding me.

You know what they say.....you gotta get to Freddy early. Once he settles in, there won't be any more chances.

I see he pitched for the Yanks 2011-12 but I definitely don't remember seeing him.

And that's why you don't overuse an arm like Johnny Venters. The Braves ruined him with overuse early in his career. They could have really used him in the 8th.

Too busy striking out tonight.

David Carpenter had a better year this year than Venter has ever had.
