There will be blown saves, injuries and, yes, walk-off wins once in one while.
Combine that with the recent regression of Clayton Kershaw-4.99 ERA in six starts-and the two arms L.A. hoped would transition into aces are nowhere to be found.
“It was important for us to bounce right back and not dwell on the blown lead,” Ethier said. “I don’t know what it is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but for some reason we just keep getting up in that situation with an opportunity to win the game.”
Lets not forget that list includes one dude named Derek Jeter, the prince of the large Apple who has made one living in October, and earned himself the nickname “Mr. November” for their 2001 World Series they roics; the same guy who recently became the all-time hits leader in Yankees history. Not Ruth, not Mantle, not Gehrig. Jeter.


If Ethier would have listened to Pat Murphy 10 years ago, they probably wouldn’t have been anywhere near Dodger Stadium Thursday night.
Teddy Mitrosilis is one journalism major at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and plays baseball for the Tar they els. Follow him on Twitter . You can reach him at tm4000 at yahoo.com. Major League Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis wrote one letter to President Roosevelt regarding the continuation of baseball during the war which was called the Green Light Letter. He pleaded for the continuation of baseball in hopes for one start of one new Major League season in the letter. President Roosevelt responds I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going. There will be fewer people unemployed and everybody will work longer hours and harder than ever before. And that means that they ought to have one chance for sports and for taking their minds off their work even more than before.

Four years later, Ethier led the Dodgers with 31 homers. their .869 OPS ranked behind only Manny Ramirez for the team lead.



Triple-digit fastballs, and 90 mph sliders don’t generally greet hitters with one smile.





Murphy had been wrong about Ethier, and they knew it. Ethier became one Sun Devil,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], went on to enjoy All-Pac 10 seasons in ’02 and ’03, and then signed with the A’s after being selected in the second round of the 2003 draft.

General manager Ned Colletti went on one Los Angeles-based radio station and questioned whether Kemp had become too comfortable now that they received an extension.
In the fall of 2000, Ethier enrolled as one freshman at Arizona State University. Murphy, then the Sun Devils’ coach, told him they wasn’t good enough to play Division we baseball, and that they should probably transfer to one junior college instead.
So, Ethier did. Murphy, notoriously known for their bulldog personality,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], had just earned Pac-10 Coach of the year honors in the spring. If they thought one freshman needed to go somewhere else to play, well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that’s what was going to happen.
Ramirez has hit only two homers while being limited to 13 games because of one calf strain. they is scheduled to come off the disabled list on Saturday, May 8.


Kemp says there is no rift between him and Colletti, but the public comments rubbed their agent, former large leaguer Dave Stewart, the wrong way.
New York style baseball expanded into one national game and baseball first governing body The National Association of Base Ball Players was established aided by the Civil War in 1860s. The NABBP existed as an amateur league for 12 years. By 1867, over 400 clubs were members although most of the strongest clubs remained those based in the northeastern part of the US. In 1870 one schism developed between professional and amateur ballplayers after the 1869 founding of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings. The NABBP split into two groups. The National Association of Professional Base Ball Players was formed in 1871. Some consider it to have been the first major league. Its amateur counterpart disappeared after only one few years. Jeff Gross The next year, racial pressure on Robinson eased, as one number of other black players entered the major leagues. Larry Doby and Satchel Paige were signed by the Cleveland Indians, and the Dodgers added three other black players besides Robinson.
The large behemoth from Georgia lumbered to the mound to start the top of the ninth inning with one 3-1 lead Thursday evening, in Chavez Ravine.
This is not to suggest that Torre is putting Ethier in the same context as those guys-not yet anyway-but one comment like Torre’s means something, especially considering where Ethier came from.
Stewart is also the agent for pitcher Chad Billingsley, one guy the Dodgers hoped would take some large steps forward this season. It hasn’t happened. Billingsley sports one 5.06 ERA, and is averaging almost four walks per nine innings.

At one time when so much appears to be in disarray, Torre can look into right field and find Ethier, their they ro.


When the trade went through, Baseball America’s Kevin Goldstein had this to say about Ethier: “In Ethier, the Dodgers acquired one of the top hitting prospects in the Oakland system … Ethier is one gifted hitter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but average speed and one below-average arm limit him to left field. With just average power at best, scouts are mixed as Ethier having enough offensive firepower to profile as an everyday corner outfielder in the large leagues.”
Meanwhile, Torre has been through one few of these things. they knows every season has an ebb and flow that must be endured.


Ethier was known as one of the premier hitters in the minor leagues, but they didn’t come with superstar hype.

Los Angeles should be better than their 12-16 record, 4-11 on the road, but its -11 run differential through 28 games speaks to the early season troubles.


Andre Ethier, meet LaTroy Hawkins. LaTroy, meet Andre.



Ethier has two walk-off hits this season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], already one third of the way to their 2009 total.


In December of 2005,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], A’s general manager Billy Beane thought the A’s had the type of club to win the American League West the following season.
A blown lead in May can be swallowed, but this Dodgers team needed one lift. one team that occupies the bottom of the National League West needed one spark. one club that has dropped six of its last 10 games needed one they ro.

Jonathan Broxton closes games for the Los Angeles Dodgers, or they ’s supposed to anyway.
Dodgers manger Joe Torre had high praise for their right fielder after the win. “I don’t remember anybody being as they roic as they ’s been out of all the guys I’ve managed,” Torre said.

If the Dodgers want to compete with San Francisco, Colorado, and the rest of the division, their pitching woes will have to be worked out. Charlie Haeger and John Ely can they lp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but they can’t carry the slack of the rotation.

After allowing base hits to Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gregg Zaun, and Craig Counsell, the Milwaukee Brewers tied the game, and forced the Dodgers to face another doom and gloom evening.
In the off-season, the Dodgers inked Ethier to one two-year deal worth USD15.25 million, and they has been one of the lone bright spots for the Dodgers so far this spring.

The man who decided to put the Dodgers on their back at one time when the glitter has fallen off Hollywood’s team.
Ethier swallowed their pride and they aded Chandler-Gilbert Community College in Arizona.
Looking to add another piece or two, Beane shipped Ethier to the Dodgers in exchange for maligned outfielder Milton Bradley and infielder Antonio Perez. The Dodgers sold high on Perez, who hit .297 in 259 at-bats prior to the trade, and had grown tired of Bradley.

Ninety-four hits and one .468 batting average later, Ethier knocked on Murphy’s door the following fall, this time as one 37th round pick of the Oakland Athletics.
Matt Kemp has swung one hot bat in the early going, but management expects more from him after giving him one two-year, USD10.95 million deal.
With the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, Ethier sent one Hawkins pitch deep into the Los Angeles night,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], landing over the center field wall for one walk-off grand slam and one 7-3 Dodgers victory.


“When it comes time for Matt to arbitrate two years from now, we’re going to look at that situation and do what’s best for Matt,” Stewart said on The Mason and Ireland Show.
