Yup, I read he nixed the deal.

Oh well.

Newly acquired catcher Rod Barajas goes 3-4 with a homer and 3 RBI as the Dodgers defeat the Brewers in Milwaukee, 5-3... Ted Lilly wins his fifth straight game as a Dodger. :victory:

He needs to work on his fielding skills... Or lack of them. :sweat:

Dodgers defeat the Brewers again, 5-4.

Dodgers sweep the Brewers, 7-1.

The D'backs beat the Padres 11-5. Stephen Drew went 2 for 5 with a double, home run and had 4 rbi's. On Wednesday, he had 2 doubles and 2 more home runs. When asked about it, his quote was: "It was just one of those two gamesh :crazy:

I think we've got another Yogi in the making.

LOL.

A blood relative, maybe? :rofl:

The Nationals phenom Stephen Strasburg must've over-pitched or something: now he'll be out for 12-18 months after Tommy John surgery... :sweat:

Big win for the Sox over Tampa Bay.

Dodgers defeat the Rockies, 6-2, for their fourth straight win. :)

Wild card possibility? :shocked:

A 100 win season is still possible. All they have to do is go undefeated. :fingerscrossed:

They're only four games out of the top spot in the wild card race... But there's a lot of teams they have to pass. :sweat:

Japan vs. Hawaii for Little League title

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pennsylvania (AP)—Ryo Motegi hit a two-out grounder through the infield to send Tokyo to the Little League World Series title game with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Kaoshiung, Taiwan in seven innings Saturday.

Tokyo will play Waipahu in the final after the Hawaiians shut out Pearland, Texas 10-0 to claim the U.S. championship.

Masaya Ishii singled to left and a wild pitch sent the runner to second. After moving to third on a groundout, pinch runner Ryusuke Ikeda scored the winning run after Motegifs hit slipped just past shortstop Chen Chen-wei into center.

Japan advanced to its first title game since 2007 and will try to end the United Statesf five-year run as Little League champs. The Waipahu league is trying to win its second Little League title in three years.

^ I watched both games today. :victory: :applaud:

Amazing comeback by Japan: the Taipei pitcher had them stopped cold 'til the bottom of the sixth... That errant snap throw to first by the catcher proved to be costly.

Hmm, will this be the first near all-Asian Little League World Series Championship game? Most (all?) of the players on Hawaii's team are of Japanese or Pacific Islander decent, huh?

Should be great game to watch. :victory: :applaud: :woot:

Dodgers lose to the Rockies, 5-3. :(

LOL, is this going to turn into a "99 bottles" song? :hehe:

The way Lilly's pitching today (Rox lead 2-0 after 3 innings, Gonzalez has a home run) probably not. :beaten:
