Good for you. There have been a lot of changes at Dodger Stadium since '82. It truly is a beautiful stadium. I was there for opening day and headed down for the Cub series on 6/6 through 6/8.

If he does not get rocked today then he will get rocked in the future. That is pitching. It is how he responds that is important.

He's a Missouri kid, I won't root against him.

Hope he does well, and the Cards rip into the Dodgers bullpen for the win.

Shit. Nevermind.

I was thinking of their rookie 3rd baseman DeWitt, who's from Sikeston.

I wish I could find the entire broadcast video of that HR.

Pictures don't do it justice, and seeing FOX cut to a shot of Andy Pettitte mouthing "OH MY GOD" is absolutely priceless.

Yesh it was only 2005 but video uploads were still not done regurally as they are done now.
I have this one but its an edited version.

ESPN:
As the baseball soared through the electrified night, you almost wanted the world to stop spinning -- just for a moment -- so you could digest what was unfolding before your eyes.

It was only one swing of Albert Pujols' bat. It was only one baseball, heading for history. It was only one moment in the life of two franchises.

But it was a swing, a baseball, a moment that seemed to change the world.
In an instant, in one click of a camera lens, in one quick gulp of air, in one flash of Albert Pujols' bat, victory dissolved into defeat. Euphoria transformed into disbelief. Eardrum-rattling noise turned to how'd-that-happen silence.

http://ballhype.com/video/kershaw_s_curve_3_9_08/

video of his curveball. Remember he also throws a 97 MPH fastball. He is also only 20 years old. He just turned 20.

That curve reminded me of the nasty curve that Bert Blyleven used to throw.

Since he's a lefty, that could make him even more nasty than Blyleven.

kcxiv 05-25-2008 02:24 PM

After a half inning he gave up 1 walk, 1 double for a run and struck out 3. Not bad for a 20 year old.

L.A. Chieffan 05-25-2008 02:25 PM

Sick ass curve to put out Glaus. Kershaws on pace for 27 Ks

L.A. Chieffan 05-25-2008 02:27 PM

MAZA POWER! SCREW KENT!
