Probable starters -
Thursday: Strasburg versus Volquez
Friday: Gonzalez versus Stults
Saturday: Zimmermann versus Cashner
Sunday: Haren versus Marquis (?)
(Starters subject to change)
After losing two of three at Los Angeles, the Nationals go 100 or so miles south to take on the Padres. San Diego is one of my favorite cities in the continental United States. I wish I was there.
The Padres are 18-21 on the year, slightly better than most experts expected. They're 4.5 games out of first place, and just swept a two-game series at Baltimore. This isn't a bad team, just unknown in some parts of fandom.
What do they do well? Steal bases (Everth Cabrera with 12). Strike out batters (the staff is second in the National League, with 238). Hit a bit (Yonder Alonso, Chase Headley).
Yeah, folk are talking about the Strasburg homecoming. Ya still gotta execute pitches, and he has to work through his struggles regarding that one inning that derails an otherwise solid start. With Detwiler getting injured in Los Angeles Wednesday night, the first four in the rotation have to find consistent excellence. Nats' pitchers must keep San Diego runners off base/minimize the big inning. Minimize damage, so even when a Padre drives an extra-base hit, it won't start the "merry-go-round" of runners.
For Washington, Adam LaRoche and Ryan Zimmerman are starting to heat up, joining Desmond, Harper and Span as offensive sparks. The bench is still struggling, so hopefully a Tyler Moore or Roger Bernadina can get a couple of hits to start the get-well process.
I guess the series is a split, with the Nationals winning Thursday and Saturday, while the Padres win Friday and Sunday. Looking forward to seeing the Padres up close.

My Team - Game 5, Grizzlies at Oklahoma City
Memphis' Game 4 overtime win was a victory serious contenders achieve. Some teams, up a game in the series, would have given up after being down 17 in the first half. Memphis teams in previous years would have rolled over and said "we'll get 'em in the next game" or "we beat 'em once at their place - we can do it again". Not so for this year's Grizz.
Wednesday's Game 5 is an elimination game for the Thunder. The team and their fans will come out, uh, thunderous (heh). There will be a sense of desperation on the floor and in the stands.
I want my team to win, finish this thing, get ready for the Western Conference Finals. In my gut, Oklahoma City will put on that one last stand, pull out one last victory for the home folks before their season ends.
I expect Durant to do what he did in Game 4, regarding being Mr. Everything for his team. He'll score, of course. He'll hit the boards, pass the ball, block shots as a weak-side or transition defender. He'll probably get that triple double on Wednesday night. Ibaka, Martin and Jackson will play at a high level as well. Their passion and productivity will make a difference. Whither Sefolosha, however? His numbers, while never great, have been negligible this series. Is it time for him to have a great two-way game? Possibly. Probably.
I think the Grizzlies will come out wanting to close out the series. They'll play hard as always. As much as they will want the win, the Thunder will need it.
I'd like to see Prince and Pondexter to have consistent offensive performances in this game. Even if they don't win, the Grizzlies need more production from their positions. That production will make the difference in a possible Game 6 of this series, and going forward in the playoffs.
My guess for a score, Oklahoma City 105, Memphis 93. The Thunder fans get one more chance to cheer their heroes.
After the Game: Memphis 88, Oklahoma City 84. It was statistically close as scoreboard-close. I found myself pacing the floor quite a bit in the fourth quarter.
For Memphis, it was 30 field goals, 18/9 assist/turnover and 9 steals. Randolph had 28 with 14 rebs, but missed three free throws late that made it closer than it needed to be. Conley had 13 with 11 assists (but 5/18 FG/A). Gasol added 10, 7 rebs and 3 blocks, despite a poor shooting night. As much as everyone talks about Westbrook's injury, Memphis didn't play a complete game. There was room for them to play even better.
For the Thunder, Durant had 21, but was 5/21 FG/A. Get that man some more help. Ibaka added 17, while Jackson added 16, 9 rebs and 5 assists. Look for that guy to make a big leap next year. He and Westbrook in the same back court can wreak havoc for years to come.
Memphis came out with a business-minded approach, and got a double-digit lead. They started the second half sloppy and unfocused. Yikes. Oklahoma City made several runs, as good teams do. Memphis did enough to hold on, but they showed some weaknesses. Especially late, the interior defense was burned by Oklahoma City's crisp passing. The Grizzlies need to work on that.
Anyway, on to the Western Conference Finals. It will be either San Antonio (my guess) or Golden State. That series starts this weekend, maybe? It promises to be fun. I can't wait.

In Dreams - "World War II, On My Street"
This morning, I dozed off watching "The Man Who Never Was". Not a knock against the movie. I slept poorly last night, so I indulged in a nap. Given the time period and subject matter of the movie, I shouldn't be surprised about this dream.
I was on the street where I own a home. My neighborhood is relatively new. Construction on my house was finished in February of 1997. The dream's time-frame however was World War II. Nazis were coming down the street to take people away, but none of my neighbors felt any sense of urgency or dread. The mood on my street was as if we were going on a communal field trip. My sisters were in town, and they were telling me to hurry and grab my backpack so I wouldn't be left behind.
I went downstairs into my basement, and it looked astonishingly clean. (At present, the house is being rented to a tenant I've never met.). The carpet was pristine, and there was abundant light in every part of the basement. In fact, it looked so nice I had a twinge of envy - I'd not kept it so beautiful when I lived in it. I made a mental note of some decorating ideas for implementing when I returned.
I took a last look around, and started heading up the stairs. Just at that moment, the phone rang...

My Team - Game 4, Grizzlies versus Oklahoma City
Game 3 was ugly, but a win's a win. Memphis has leverage, but needs a Game 4 win even more.Winning Monday night would all but seal a series win & send a message to the rest of the league that Memphis is ready to compete for the league title. As a fan, I'm excited.
Monday night, I expect Durant to come out gunning. This could be the game he gets 40 or more, to keep his team afloat. He's been almost too unselfish, based on the lack of consistent production from his teammates. If he does get 40 or more, and someone else contributes 20, Oklahoma City could steal back home court advantage.
For Memphis, they got out-rebounded in Game 3. They can't let that happen any more if they expect to win. In addition, Randolph had difficulty offensively with Ibaka getting in his face. He needs to start driving to the rim, to get close-range shots & get his defender in greater foul trouble (Randolph had no FTA in Game 3, although Ibaka finished with 4 fouls). If Memphis can get Prince going on offense as well, OKC won't be able to double either Gasol or Randolph.
Memphis' defense has been stellar lately. Keep it up, OK?
My guess for Game 4 - Memphis 95, Oklahoma City 90. Prince gets off to a better start shooting, but it's canceled out by Allen's wild forays that result in wild shots and wild turnovers. Randolph does better on offense (around 17 points, with 11 rebs), but Conley and Gasol again prove to be the leaders offensively. Bayless, Pondexter and Arthur chip in with better shot selection on one end & continued defensive effort on the other. Bad shot selection hindered Memphis' second half offensive flow, so don't let it happen again.
If the Grizz win Game 4, the city is gonna go nuts, but have a care. Don't count too many chickens before they hatch.
After the Game: Memphis 103, Oklahoma City 97, in overtime. One of the biggest wins in Grizzlies' history, given what was at stake. Overcoming a 46-29 second quarter deficit, the team continued to grind away at the Thunder. No quit in this Memphis bunch.
For the Grizzlies, it was 36 field goals, 18/7 assist/turnover and 8 steals. Conley had 24 with 5 assists. Gasol had 23, 11 rebs and 6 blocks. Randolph added another 23 with 12 rebs. Yeah, it's becoming Conley's team.
For the Thunder, it was 34 field goals, 19/15 assist/turnover and 4 steals. Durant had 27, 7 rebs and 7 assists. Martin added 18, while Ibaka was resurgent with 17 with 14 rebs. Jackson had 15 with 8 assists, but 4 turnovers.
Both teams shortened their rotations to roughly 8 guys, so everyone who gets time must contribute right away. It was that way for Memphis, although Prince's reluctance to shoot is troubling. He doesn't have to be a gunner, but he has to score enough to open up the post for Randolph.
I saw the graphic on NBA TV, about Durant shooting 3/17 in the 4th/overtime the last two games. Is he tired? Is it Allen's defense? Some combination of the two?
This game was tough to watch at times, with Memphis' lethargic performance in the first quarter. They got away with it in this game, but they have to get off to better starts from now on if they harbor any hope of going deeper in the playoffs.
Game 5 is in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night. Memphis had to guard against the "we've got it made" mentality. They need to come out on the road ready to play well. OKC will be a desperate bunch. Memphis much match that level of intensity. Don't take a home Game 6 for granted, but finish the Thunder right away.

My Team - Nationals at Dodgers
Projected starters -
Monday: Zimmermann versus Beckett
Tuesday: Haren versus Kershaw
Wednesday: Detwiler versus Magill
The Nationals finished the home stand losing two of three to the Cubs. It looked like Washington's offense was starting to come around, until Edwin Jackson and Scott Feldman pitched like the unflappable pros they can be. Tough part was Strasburg and Gonzalez came out and also pitched like wizened veterans early in their respective starts. Team defense and lack of timely hitting cost the Nats on Saturday and Sunday. Eventually, that will change. Maybe this week on the West Coast...?
Ryan Zimmerman is still fighting throwing issues. Maybe some hot weather will loosen up his shoulder a bit. Offensively, Desmond is heating up a bit, hitting for power while his batting average climbs. Lombardozzi provides a pinch-hitting spark. Tracy and Moore, however, are struggling in their opportunities. This year, the bench hasn't gotten those late hits that aid in comebacks.
The Dodgers are sub-.500 after expectations of higher performance. There are some bright spots, though. Carl Crawford appears to be healthy and productive again. Adrian Gonzalez is hitting for average and driving in runs. Matt Kemp is heating up after a slow start. A.J. Ellis is an underrated catcher, especially at the plate.
However, the team has had a revolving door at third base (Luis Cruz isn't quite the answer yet) and at shortstop (Hanley Ramirez has been hurt, and Dee Gordon isn't quite the answer yet, either). Mark Ellis is solid at second, but he's more of a number 2 hitter than an RBI guy.
On paper, the pitching looked formidable at season's start. Clayton Kershaw is one of the best in the business. Zack Greinke, Ted Lilly and Chad Billingsley are high-quality, but hurt. Chris Capuano has had good years in the majors, but hasn't quite smoothed things out this year. Josh Beckett isn't the big-game pitcher he was with Florida and Boston, and looks like he's on the downside of his career.
For my guesswork, Zimmermann comes out on Monday night and shuts down the Los Angeles. Haren baffles Los Angeles on Tuesday with an assortment of just-off-the-plate cutters. Detwiler gives the Nationals 6 strong innings, but the bullpen costs him the win. I think the Nationals win the first two of this three-game set.

Old Dude, Old Movies - "Stella Dallas"
This 1937 release will make you cry, on Mother's Day or any other day.
I can't say enough about Barbara Stanwyck. She's been celebrated & acknowledged as one of the most versatile actors of all time. This role is a great example of her skill.
I didn't know there was a silent version, released in 1925, with Ronald Colman and Belle Bennett. The one with Stanwyck is the better-known one, of course.
If you have this movie on in the background, and not really watch the nuance, Stella is a prime candidate for derision. Cheap, vulgar, garish, self-serving - the early parts of the movie don't paint Stella in a sympathetic light. As the story unfolds, and we see a depth and a motherly instinct start to bloom, we find that Stella is a complicated character. Maybe her background made her the way she is. Maybe she will never change on the outside, but her heart does evolve.
Her daughter "Laurel" (Anne Shirley) is the catalyst for Stella's growing motherly love. As Laurel aspires for a different life than her mom's, Stella comes to a difficult realization. The mother can't provide the kind of security and position in the community the daughter craves. Like a lot of movies in that era, the class distinctions are evident. Working class status is something to discard and leave behind, like tattered old clothes. Women of the day were expected to "marry well", find that white-collar gentleman who can take his wife to a better life of material benefits and status.
Laurel finds herself torn. She starts to realize just how much her mom loves her. Laurel is also embarrassed in the fact that her mom will never fit in the world in which Laurel wants to inhabit. As Laurel gains maturity, she understands just how much her mom is willing to sacrifice for Laurel's future well-being. The wedding scene choked me up, once I understood the context. The mother's level of selfless love helped the daughter grow into a capable woman on her own.
John Boles (the 1931 "Frankenstein") is appropriately formal and reserved as "Stephen Dallas", Stella's ex. Stephen too has emotional upheaval and a search for stability in his life. He and Stella don't last as a couple, but he is a part of the world his daughter strives to access. Barbara O'Neil ("Ellen" in "Gone With The Wind") is Stephen's new wife Helen, providing a genteel contrast to the tawdry Stella. "Broad brushes" are everywhere regarding character development, but that's alright.
Alan Hale, Sr., Marjorie Main and Tim Holt add to the story as key characters. Lines are drawn, and each character is firmly on one side or the other of this class separation.
This movie was constructed with a high degree of professionalism and thought. The camera angles draw you into the lives of the characters. You find yourself in this world.
Stanwyck nails this role. She seemingly goes from cheap tart to loving mother to wise adult to self-sacrificing woman in a way that looks logical and natural.
Make no mistake: this is a melodrama. Ultimately, there are some strong soap opera elements to the script. But, if you allow yourself to see the world through Stella's eyes, you'll get it. You'll see just how heartbreaking and uplifting sacrifice can be. I love this movie. Am I a big softie? Yeah, I guess I am.

Happy Mother's Day
I'm sitting here, watching "Stella Dallas". The lengths a mother would go on behalf of her child chokes me up.
For you moms out there, know that you are loved and cherised. For those whose mothers have gone on to their reward, I pray you have fond memories of a mother's love.
A mother's love makes all the difference in a life. It's such a valuable gift, more than all the jewels ever seen.
