Game 47 Thread: May 23 vs. Cardinals, 7.30p

Derek Lowe (2-4, 5.34) vs. Adam Wainwright (3-2, 3.25).

COMMENTS: Good news: The Dodgers have won three straight! Bad news: Lowe (1-4 record, 5.93 ERA lifetime versus the Cards) is starting tonight. Good news: Wainwright has had two consecutive rough starts! Bad news: Big, Bad Albert is feeling just fine. Good news: Rafael Furcal might be back tonight! Bad news: So might Andruw Jones. It's a mixed bag for both these second-place teams; which one will rise above?

Really, Joe? Cory Wade in a one-run game?

karina said...

Did you see James Loney yawning?

they have already gave up

Orel said...

There's still hope. One inning's worth, to be exact.

Orel said...

If Pierre had an arm, we'd be out of this inning by now.

Alex Cora said...

Better throw from noodle arm Pierre would have doubled him up.

Orel said...

Okay, Cory Wade, you proved me wrong. Time for the ninth-inning comeback!

Alex Cora said...

hey, I am beginning to like Wade. Throws strikes, might get burned once in a while, but he gets em over the plate.

Alex Cora said...

Ok, here come the young guns for the final three outs!

Orel said...

Rain's coming down. Not going to help the power game any.

Alex Cora said...

Wow, looks like it is coming down pretty hard.

Orel said...

Rain's really coming down now.

Alex Cora said...

Fireworks night too?

Orel said...

Loney backwards K. Damn.

Alex Cora said...

That was BS. looked outside and LOW!

Alex Cora said...

That one looked like Kemp's pitch that he fouled back.

karina said...

why they didn't suspend earlier?

Alex Cora said...

They going to call this game?

Orel said...

Rain delay for two more outs?

Alex Cora said...

That dude in the suit is drenched!

Orel said...

Game has not been called, yet. I think they're going to try and wait this out.

Orel said...

Oh boy, "In My Own Words" starring Juan Pierre!

Alex Cora said...

I've got some words for Juan.

Alex Cora said...

Who's staying up for the end???? Come on guys!!!

karina said...

i'm here

Alex Cora said...

We come out, they have a cold pitcher, Kemp hits a double to right field gap, the Dewitt with a homer to right - walk off, everyone goes home wet but happy. You heard it here!

Orel said...

Still waiting....

Orel said...

Whoo hoo! Hardcore!

Orel said...

I will use the time to write tomorrow's Game Thread. Not sure what I'm going to write, though....

karina said...

Well, we could still have a case for that DeWitt bobblehead campaign

Orel said...

True, he made another nice play tonight.

Alex Cora said...

Well, while we are waiting goto http://www.televisiontunes.com/game. Fun stuff!!!!

Orel said...

We're on to Jeff Kent "In My Own Words" now.

Alex Cora said...

On 10 rounds my high is 433

Alex Cora said...

Its like a true TV timeout!

Alex Cora said...

Kent's words "I AM THE GREATEST!"

Orel said...

Tried the quiz. Thank goodness for lyrics.

karina said...

can't open that link!

Orel said...

Try this:

Orel said...

509 but lots of guessing.

Alex Cora said...

Not bad...Dont think....I .....can...make it.....you go on....without me...

Alex Cora said...

It would have been nice to have seen montana...

Alex Cora said...

Got to call it guys, let me know if my bold prediction comes through....Good Night!

Orel said...

Don't wimp out on us now!

karina said...

don't leave! i'm getting sleepy too!

i got 220, with lots of guessing too.

Orel said...

What time is it in Venezuela?

Orel said...

I wonder if Erin is still out partying.

karina said...

1:48 am

Orel said...

Wake up, everybody! We're back!

Orel said...

You are a real gamer, Karina.

Orel said...

Same pitcher for the Cards. Kemp with a full count. Hardly seems fair.

Orel said...

Walk!

karina said...

Kemp's BB!

Orel said...

Okay Blake, time to earn your bobblehead....

karina said...

I had Vin on the TV, now i got the Cards announcers.

Orel said...

Lots of throws to first.

Orel said...

Announcer switch. That's weird.

Orel said...

DeWitt taking all the way.

karina said...

That was close.

Kid's not perfect.

Orel said...

Blake K's swinging but Matt steals 2nd—throw was in time but was dropped.

Orel said...

Andruw Jones on deck! And he's already smiling!

Orel said...

They're pitching around Delwyn to get to Andruw! Boo!

Orel said...

Down to our last strike....

Orel said...

Ball 4 + WP! Men on 1st & 3rd!

Orel said...

Of all the batters, why did it have to be Andruw? Anyone but Andruw!

Orel said...

Swing an a miss for strike two. You need surgery.

Orel said...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Orel said...

dammit dammit dammit

Orel said...

Why do I allow myself to hope Andruw Jones will not suck???

Orel said...

Anyways, thanks for staying up. See you next time!

Steve Sax said...

I just got home in time to see Andruw Jones choke. What was Joe Torre thinking, putting Jones in there? What a disaster.

The Andruw Jones experiment must end now. Way to go, Ned, and thanks for flushing $18M/year away.

Orel said...

Sweeney and Young had already batted. Maybe carrying 12 pitchers hurt us there.

stace3125 said...

Why didn't Torre put the new back up catcher or Maza to pinch hit instead of Jones? At least you would think that they wouldn't be an automatic out like Jones is.

Orel said...

Agreed.
