Dork! Clayton Kersahw was on the Jimmy Kimmel Show last night, pic above via @JimmyKimmelLive on twitter. You can watch much of Clayton's interview on YouTube here and here.
- The 35th annual National Sports Collectors Convention ("The National") opens tomorrow in Cleveland, and I plan on posting up and sharing as many great photos as I can find on social media. In the meantime, check out the Yasiel Puig Panini America wrapper promo card on the right.
- Blowout Cards has put up some behind-the-scene photos from their setup at "The National" in Cleveland here. I wish so much I was going. Heck, I wish they would bring the big show out west.
- Via Jon Weisman at Dodger Insider, Stan Kasten supports binding arbitration to solve distribution of SportsNet LA.
“We’ve heard a lot of things on both sides of this equation,” Kasten added. “This is a way to cut through all that. We’ll let an arbitrator decide who’s right and who’s wrong, and we can move on. And we don’t need to wait for the outcome of the arbitration. Once both sides agree to submit, we can turn the games on right away and they can figure out the price later.”
This is very interesting. It's obvious that the Dodgers/TWC are trying to add some political pressure to the equation; i.e. doing some heavy lobbying. Will it work? Who knows? Time Warner has already indicated that they will accept arbitration, but it remains to be seen if the other providers will fold under the pressure.
- Via Pedro Moura at the OC Register, "Ryu adding pitches to his repertoire."
Thirty-one times, the 27-year-old Korean made use of an updated slider he learned from Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, inducing swinging strikes galore from the San Francisco Giants.
- I definitely approve. Orel at the Sons of Steve Garvey salutes all of the broom-wielding fans at AT&T Park on Sunday.
- Via Jeff Sullivan at FanGraphs, "The Cost of Moving Matt Kemp."
- Danny Santana at Danny's Dodgers shares a Dodger memory on his blog: "A day at the ballpark with Dad." This is one of the newer Dodger fan blog's I've run across. Go ahead and say hello.
But most of the time, it wasn't really about the game itself. It was about a genuine and mutual love for the Dodger organization. The players. The coaches. Vin Scully. That beautiful stadium on top of the hill with a great view of downtown. It was something that brought us closer even though we didn't always have time together.
- Via Eric Stephen at True Blue LA, "Dodgers sign Barry Enright to minor league deal." Who?
- Daniel Wilson at It's like having my own Card Shop shares his photos from the National Ballpark Museum in Denver. Check them out here.
- Via Eric Stephen at True Blue LA, "6 Isotopes suspended for brawl with Reno."
