"You never know how the road is going to turn out. I'm fortunate to be here and be part of this. It's something special. Hopefully, I can stick around and keep the team rolling to the postseason."

It was like old times for Weaver, who won 27 games for the Dodgers from 2004-05.
"I finally had a pass list again," said Weaver, the Southern California native who spent all last year and the beginning of this year in the Minor Leagues. "I had a handful of people show up and share it with me. My parents, a couple buddies, my wife and Gary Wright. You know who he is?"
Wright sang the 1976 hit "Dream Weaver," not only on the platinum album but at Weaver's wedding.
"We met when I was pitching in Detroit, we kept in touch and he sang at my wedding," Weaver said. "He came to show support."

"It's a chance to share the same mound on the same day and not many can say that," said Weaver. "It's a moment we won't forget. It's pretty special regardless of the outcome."Weaver said his parents had planned to attend the wedding of a relative in Temecula, Calif., but those plans have changed.

It's really too bad this isn't a Dodger home game. Jeff could bean Jered; Jered could charge the mound, only to fall down and have Jeff fart in his face or something. "I'm tellin' mom!!!"

Special brand of Weaver magic in SF. Gets out of bases loaded no out jam in the second, follows it up in the 3rd with getting 2 outs then somehow walking Bengie Molina. Gets Schierholz to ground out on next pitch. Such a bro.

jered weaver starts, felix pie hits for the cycle and brian roberts hits three doubles.

i ate pizza next to jorge posada tonight
― stupid fruity crazy jag (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 27 December 2009 02:06 (fourteen years ago) link
in a funny coincidence, half the tvs in the restaurant were showing mlb network, which was playing game 7 of the 2001 ws
and before i knew posada was sitting by us, i turned to my brother after he threw out tony womack and said "i think that was the last time posada threw a guy out at second"
i don't think he heard me

Jeff Weaver is not only back in the Dodgers’ spring training camp, there is an excellent chance he will be back with the team when it returns to Los Angeles.Professionally, it’s been a tumultuous past few years for Weaver. If not for his entire nine-year career.But now he sits at his locker at Camelback Ranch as a non-roster invitee, without guarantee of a major league job, and seemingly at peace.Weaver said he is done with the Triple-A uniform, which is the only one he wore in 2008. At age 33, and as of Wednesday a new father, he appears ready to seize his current opportunity or live with the results if he does not."That’s why I came back," Weaver said. "It was more of a situation where I really don’t want to do the Triple-A thing again. I’ll be content with whatever happens with me now."He came to the Dodgers' spring training camp last year too, but when camp broke was headed to Triple-A Albuquerque. Called up on April 30, he stuck for the rest of the season.He proved a valuable swing man for the Dodgers, finishing the season 6-4 with a 3.65 ERA in 28 games. In seven starts, he went 2-1 with a 3.13 ERA.It’s his proven ability to both relieve and start that makes him a strong candidate to again make the Dodgers this season. Even though they were unwilling to sign him except as a non-roster invitee.Weaver said he did have opportunities to sign a major league contract, but the Manhattan Beach resident and Northridge native wanted to remain in Los Angeles."There was a couple, but not a situation I wanted to encounter," he said. "Especially with the baby coming. I’m just really comfortable with the chance to be at home in a stable situation."

The question is, do the Dodgers retire his number when he makes it to the hall of fame?
― mayor jingleberries, Tuesday, 2 March 2010 16:58 (fourteen years ago) link
With his 100th win, Jeff Weaver passed Sparky Lyle, Vicente Padilla, George Suggs, Elam Vanglider, and several others on the all-time wins list and is now tied with Brett Tomko, Dick Tidrow, Zane Smith, Randy Jones, Moose Haas, and several others. Only 560 pitchers have more career wins.
