Hanging curve balls...


...any body can hit those...

 

We should hire Maria Ozawa to the broadcasting team.

Google "maria ozawa news".

 

Would supply pipe

 

Is it sad that I ALREADY know who Maria Ozawa is?

 

I wouldn't say sad.

Revealing? Yes.

Sad? No.

 

Was not happy about the Alanna Rizzo signing as I was never much of a fan while she was doing the Rockies games. Though the girls they have replaced her with have not really been any better.

 

I think that Orel and Nomar are both top notch. We've been hearing Orel for years, and he is smart, eloquent and I love the pitcher's viewpoint on things. Nomar represents another intelligent guy, and was favorite of mine when he played for us. me likey. IDK who Rizzo is, but any halfway intelligent woman that looks good is always a plus, and makes the world go round, IMO. Always has.
I like Alyssa Milano as guest babe, just because the LAD bridesmaid thing is so fucking old now, it would be nice to look at a California hot Dodger fan while we are giving it up as usual.
Who knows, she might come out with "isn't it time we treid another GM...in light of all the fabulous signings he has supposedly made, money up the whazoo, why are we still are looking for the brass ring"?
Maybe if they hear it from a beautiful woman... there's just something about them...those special parts they have...

LOS ANGELES, CA - SportsNet LA, the exclusive new local TV home of the Los Angeles Dodgers, officially announced today that the network will launch on February 25, the night before the Dodgers' first Spring Training game. SportsNet LA will take fans behind-the-scenes and offer in-depth access into the Dodger organization, providing an immersive experience with never-before-seen content, and thousands of hours of comprehensive Dodger programming. SportsNet LA will televise 24/7 Dodger content, including live and classic games, live studio shows, numerous original programs, all with expert commentary led by the network's on-air talent team of Orel Hershiser, Nomar Garciaparra, Charley Steiner, Jerry Hairston, Alanna Rizzo and John Hartung.

As previously announced, Vin Scully will return for an unprecedented 65th season to call all Dodger home games and road games in California and Arizona.

"We're so excited to launch SportsNet LA and give Dodger fans all of the in-depth coverage and programming that they have been asking for for years," said Stan Kasten, President and CEO, Los Angeles Dodgers. "Building off of this past season's momentum, we have so much planned for the 2014 season and beyond. We can't wait to share the excitement with our fans through SportsNet LA and showcase all that this great franchise has to offer."

Steiner and Hershiser will call all Dodger games that Scully does not. Hershiser, who won a World Series, Cy Young, and two postseason MVP awards during his 13 seasons with the Dodgers, will serve as the color analyst alongside Steiner and also appear in the network's pre- and post-game shows during other games. Hershiser joins SportsNet LA after eight years at ESPN, where he contributed to the network's "Sunday Night Baseball" games, "Baseball Tonight" and other baseball programming. After retiring from an 18-year Major League career, he also spent five years working for the Texas Rangers as a Major League Pitching Coach and in the front office.

Steiner enters his 10th season calling play-by-play for Dodger games, with the previous nine for the Dodgers' radio partner. He was recently inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame and has won several Emmy Awards for his previous work with ESPN, PRIME TICKET and the YES Network.

Garciaparra and Hairston will contribute to SportsNet LA's pre- and post-game coverage, both live from the stadium and from the SportsNet LA studio. Garciaparra is originally from Los Angeles and spent three seasons with the Dodgers during a 14-year Major League career. He was named the 1997 American League (AL) Rookie of the Year and won two AL batting titles and a silver slugger before being named the 2006 National League Comeback Player of the Year and retiring in 2009. The six-time All-Star infielder joins SportsNet LA from ESPN, where he spent four years contributing to its baseball shows, including "Baseball Tonight" and "Wednesday Night Baseball." Garciaparra will also call Dodger road games on the radio alongside Rick Monday.

Hairston retired at the end of last season after a 16-year Major League career and two seasons with the Dodgers. The third-generation major leaguer played every position except pitcher and catcher and was one of the sport's most versatile veteran players. Hairston has previously worked for ESPN, appearing on "Baseball Tonight," and MLB Network, where he appeared on "MLB Tonight," "Hot Stove" and other programs.

Rizzo will serve as SportsNet LA's in-game reporter for games called by Steiner and Hershiser and will also host the pre- and post-game shows from the stadium. Rizzo spent the past two seasons at MLB Network hosting "Intentional Talk" and "Quick Pitch" and also previously worked at Root Sports Rocky Mountain.

Hartung will be a studio host for SportsNet LA, anchoring the network's live studio shows. He joins the network from KABC-TV in Los Angeles, where he spent the past 11 years as a sports and news anchor. He has worked in sports television for 20 years and is originally from Los Angeles.

SportsNet LA's in-depth Dodgers programming roster as well as additional on-air talent information will be announced closer to the network's launch date.

 

Dish doesn't carry the Lakers either. Now no Dodgers. I can't imagine why they would risk losing every sports fan in the second largest media market in the US...

A-Holes.

 

I just demanded my Dodgers.

 

Here's the team...

Orel, Pepe, Fernando, Charlie, Jamie, Vin, Alana, Nomar, Rick, Tardhead

I'm told that Fox's center-field "studio" for pre- and post-game analysis will be gone. SportsNet LA team is building one closer to dugout.

 

Only this guy missing and Jerry.

 

Orel and Nomar should add some fresh air to the broadcasts. I think they'll be great additions. It'll be interesting to see how Charley and Rick deal with them, as they've been their own broadcast team for so long.

 

That dude with the red and blue striped tie next to the girl looks familiar...Cannot place him....

 

I cannot find the link to demand it. I just talked to Direct and the guy said because Ihave the premium package I get all comcast sports channels. I tried to explain that it was differnet than sports net cali but he did not get it.
