Could We Actually Witness L.A. Fire Sale?

D-Back 3, Dodgers 2.
There’s Matt Kemp and then there’s the Dodgers. 2 different planes. And there’s Major League Baseball running the Dodgers. So does Bud Selig give the Dodgers a boost like he did the Rangers, going on a trade-happy run before the deadline? Or is it a fire sale to put the Padres to shame and drop the value when Frank McCourt is forced to sell?

The man rarely gets cheated on a swing, particularly when it’s Home Run Derby.
NL 5, AL 1.
Fielder silenced the classless fans tonight in Phoenix, where the National League won its 2nd straight All-Star Game.
“I didn’t take it personally,” Fielder said of Arizona fans constantly booing him for failing to pick Justin Upton for the Home Run Derby. “I think these guys (his kids) took it more personal than I did.”
Fielder’s 3-run shot in the 4th was the difference, earning him MVP honors. He also became the 1st Brewer to homer in an All-Star game. The D-Backs are now the lone club that hasn’t had a player homer in the contest. Seems appropriate, no?

(Almost) Hitless in L.A.
-
We’ve seen more scoring in the men’s room.
It doesn’t get any worst than this. The Dodgers and the Padres are 2 of the most punchless offenses in Major League Baseball, so it wasn’t too surprising to see another scoreless duel reach the 9th with both clubs combining for 1 hit. The lone 1 was by the Padres, but in the final inning, a strange thing happened for the home team.
Juan Uribe, of all people, broke up a combined no-hitter by Padres’ pitching, lining a double off reliever Luke Gregerson and over the head of leftfielder Chris Denorfia with 2 out in the 9th. Then, another big-time slugger, light-hitting Dioner Navarro, followed with a single to center to score Uribe for the game-winning run.
“I’ve seen some crazy things in my 9 years in the big leagues,” Padres second baseman Orlando Hudson told the Associated Press, “but that’s the way the game goes. So what are you going to do? You just keep playing.”
For the Padres, they might consider quitting. For the 2nd straight game, they were blanked by the Dodgers and suffered a crushing loss. Friday night, they had the bases loaded with no outs in the 9th and still couldn’t score in another 1-0 Dodger win.
“We Take Our Team Back:” An estimated 75 fans took their protest to Dodger Stadium to express their disgust with shabby owner Frank McCourt.

Angels 11, Nats 5.
Those critics are a little quiet, no? Vernon Wells is hitting .325 with 4 home runs and 9 RBIs in the last 10 games. Three of those big flys have come in the last 4 games.

Dodgers 11, Rockies 7.
Without Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier, the Dodgers would probably already be eliminated from post-season play. Kemp, in particular, has been off the charts. He’s hitting .331 with 19 homers and 55 RBIs. He also has 14 stolen bases. In the last 10 games, Kemp is batting .432 with 6 home runs and 15 RBIs.

Matt Kemp’s hot line today: 3 for 5 with 2 homers, including a score-tying slam, and 6 RBIs in the Dodgers 11-8 win over the Reds.

Cards 5, punk-ass Cubs 4 (12 innings): Another great day in the neighborhood. Albert sends the homies home happy again. Like Kemp, Pujols smacked 2 too.
Yankees 3, Angels 2: C.C. Sabathia. End of story.

Can’t Blaze Up The Sacks
-
One of the jokes making the circles was maybe Frank McCourt was burning the joint down to collect the insurance money.
It’s pretty bad when you make news for making payroll.
Matt Kemp is hitting .313 with 12 home runs and 35 RBIs. That’s the good news. The Dodgers didn’t fare so well against the Marlins Saturday night, when a fire broke out at Dodger Stadium, but not even that could ignite the club’s bats. Some folks believe the Dodgers are already toast.
