Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Derek Lowe (7-8, 3.85) vs. Brandon Webb (13-4, 3.23).
COMMENTS: Hey Dodgers, Don't Go Breaking My Heart. You guys were so close. You were in first place again, but only for one game. And last night, you tried to comeback down 3 runs, only to leave a man on third in the ninth inning. In other Dodger news, Andruw Jones did not start last night due to "food poisoning" - E. Coli from the salad bar, right Andruw? Hopefully we can take the series with the win tonight - Go Blue!

That's one of my 10 all-time favorite Kiki Dee songs.
Why don't you ditch these LOSERS! Why dont you all go find a REAL team.
Hey AC, thanks for picking up the GT!
Great song, is that before or after Elton became crazy?
vr, Xei
Dodgers making contact against Webb in the 1st, but hit three ground-ball outs.
D'backs have men on 1st & 3rd, no out.
Lowe loads the bases, Clark bounces into a force at first. Dodgers botch rundown between first and second. 1-0 D'backs, one out.
3-0 D'backs. Dodgers are in Keystone Kops mode today.
Looks like Loney missed a hit-and-run sign and the D'backs get a strike-em-out, throw-em-out DP to end the 2nd. Where's the focus?
Elton Crazy? Never- just look at that plaid sport coat.
Just got back from the DARK KNIGHT - not a bad movie.
Dodgers are playing like Space Chimps.
Loved Dark Knight. A Lot.
These Dodgers of today, not so much.
King James with a single, Jones with a fly-out (surprising, right?), DeWitt working the count...
DeWitt reached first on an error, King James to second...
Kemp struck out. These Arizona aces are killing the Dodgers offense.
On a random Kemp side note, i saw a picture of him on the ESPYs. He looked so stylish, sporting a big wide smile, i think i'll forgive him everything he does wrong .
Mark Reynolds starting the 6th for the D'backs with a triple, no outs.
Orel: Sax said that he couldn't post the GT, so I thought I would go ahead. Unfortunately I've had damn song in my head all day!
Why Lowe was replaced by Falkenborg? is he injured?
I don't have a good feeling about this.
Hey guys, just checking in from far far away (not that far, but kinda far). Looks like the Dodgers have a lot o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 on the scoreboard...kinda like last night!
4-0 D'backs. Sorry about Maza, Karina.
whoops, i turn my head, and the snakes score another run. 4-0 D'backs.
As long as the team win the division and any movement that doesn't include trading Kemp, Ethier or Kershaw is fine with me.
loney with the double! now we're talking
King James with the double, Jones SINGLED. no outs...
Dodgers 1-D'backs 4
We scored! We scored! Holy Crap we scored!!!!
Hey Karina: Is that a ring on your finger? Are congratulations in order?
It's a graduation ring!
Well then CONGRATULATIONS on your graduation! What did you graduate from / in?
Anyone think health ledger should be up for an oscar? He was good in it, but I don't know if he was THAT good!
Complicated. I have a degree on Communications (i guess that's what it's called on the US). I'm about to finish Graphic Design, almost done there.
I think he was astounding, but i gotta say the ensemble of actors were absolutely perfect ( i think Maggie Gyllenhall was the weakest link there). I enjoyed a lot the sequence between Gary Oldman and the Joker.
Yeah, and wasn't it strange to see Anthony Michael Hall as the beat reporter - I was thinking of him in the Breakfast Club the entire time he was on the screen.
No spoilers please! IMAX was sold out this weekend so we're seeing it next weekend.
And is that graduate school? Are you going to be the spanish radio announcer for the dodgers in the future?
Uh oh here comes the rally! Man on 1st and 2nd!
Orel, we haven't gotten away anything, just talking about the great on-screen performances . I love Gary Oldman, i can't do anything about it. You're watching it on IMAX, wow!
Alex, both of my degrees are bachelor's degrees. It wouldn't be that bad to be a baseball journalist.
dammit dammit dammit kent with the eighth inning-ending DP
Kent GIDP. No rally.
Orel, I promise not to give awway the ending of Space Chimps either...except to say that the Chimps make it to space!
Opps, the rally disappears.
TronKKoso, so far
orel: seeing it on IMAX - that is cool. I don't recommend the front seat though - you will blow your eyes out.

venezuelan slang for shutout is nueve arepas.
Arepa is http://tinyurl.com/ysrd36
The quality of sound on the Dark Knight is amazing. It has a life of its own, i think the sound department of that film should get several Academy Awards nominations.
It's amazing Troncoso has struck out 5 on a couple of innings.
Garciaparra doubled! King James up!
Loney singled, Garciaparra is at 3rd.
Jones is coming...no hopes there...
Jones grounded, Garciaparra scored, Loney out at 2nd.
Jones RBI, Dodgers 2-D'backs 4
In play, run(s)!
LaRoche comes through...but with what????
Oh crap, it was a single.
And now Bison is back up at potentially the last at bat of the game...just like last night...when he flied out
Sorry, Jones as out at first, so Loney was at second. LaRoche singled and Loney scored, so...
Dodgers 3-D'backs 4
Hey guys! I've been lurking without commenting, but Kemp's game-tying double has brought me out of hiding. Awesome
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? WHAT JUST HAPPENED In play, run(s) with Kemp up
He doubled!!!Ethier and Martin coming up, however there are 2 outs on the board.
Erin, thank you for the scoopage
I m stuck here in a hotel room in Florida, and the humidity is affecting the speed (or lack thereof) of the internet "high speed" connection (and gameday, I might add).
Hi, Erin! Did you like The Dark Knight?
Ethier tripled! can't believe this! Son Martin next!
Whoo! Ethier triples to straightaway center, and the Dodgers suddenly lead 5-4.
And I flip back to the Red Sox game to discover they've tied the Angels at two. Sweet.
Ethier triples? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!
Hello Karina! Yes, I loved The Dark Knight. Great, great movie.
The kids, Steve! Reminding the management they can't be that foolish to even think to trade them for a so-so veteran ballplayer...
And we pad the lead with a Martin single.
For those of you not getting Vin for this one, when Ozuna scored the tying run, Scully's response was "Ozuna the better."
I think he would fit in perfectly around here.
That's my son! Russell Martin with the RBI single!
These three games have all been somewhat similar. The Diamondbacks score a few runs early, then the starter either settle in or the bullpen holds down the fort while the offense comes back. Last night and tonight, it took them a while to get it going, but you have to like seeing them not just give up, even in the ninth inning.
It's absolutely adorable. These 5 runs on the ninth are what just what the doctor ordered for the chemistry in the team.
Two out, tying run at the plate...
I think that since Mattingly has been on board, we've had furious late-game charges. I'll have to post on this.
Broxton is making this interesting. 6-5, Dodgers. Tying run on the bases with two outs. Conor Jackson at the plate.
Come on, Sideburns. You can do this.
Oh No, we need ONE MORE OUT!!!
Uh oh, 6-5 with Drew on first and Conor Jackson up...
DODGERS WIN DODGERS WIN!!!
And it's all over! The Dodgers win the game, take the series, and are BACK IN FIRST PLACE!!!
Gotta go, ladies. The gym awaits.
Back in FIRST!!!! GO BLUE!!!
Wow, I picked a fine time to clean the toilet!
Hey, I know tonight was a great come-from-behind win and everything, but maybe we should heed redhead's suggestion to ditch these LOSERS and go find a REAL team.
Oh wait, we WON last night!
