With Pierre on third in the bottom of the first inning, Man-Ram hits his first HR as a Dodger to deep left center. He receives a curtain call as well.

karina said...

That's what exactly the team needs. Go Man-Ram!

karina said...

Pierre, CF
Kemp, RF
Martin, C
Ramirez, LF
Loney, 1B
Kent, 2B
Blake, 3B
Berroa, SS
Kuroda, P

Orel, it is also annoying Pierre's noodle arm on the center field and Ethier benched. I know one's not supposed to complain about things one cannot change, but still...

karina said...

Blake with a HR! Dodgers 3-D'Backs 0

karina said...

Useless trivia: Yusmeiro Petit and Alex Romero are from the same city i live.

karina said...

Berroa singled, Kuroda with a sacrifice bunt, Pierre's next.

karina said...

My countryman Miguel Montero with a HR.

Dodgers 3, DBacks 1

karina said...

Blake with a double. 2 outs. Bottom of the 4th.

Orel said...

Epale, Karina! Nice to see the newcomers providing some juice tonight.

Orel said...

Twelve straight retired by Kuroda! Nice to see the good Hiroki show up tonight.

karina said...

With a nice good timing, too.

Orel said...

Good combination of power and situational hitting tonight. 4-1 Dodgers.

Orel said...

Kent cost us a double play there.

karina said...

Tonight, Manny is helping the Dodgers win. I think i could take this whole "Manny being Manny" thing. How about you?

Orel said...

Vin, after Manny's HR: "Petit gives up le grande."

Orel said...

Karina, what's shocking is that Manny is playing decent defense tonight. But given that he'll be seeking, say, 4 years/$100m? I don't know.

Then again, good sluggers are hard to find. I'm torn.

Orel said...

Oh, and Manny's already talking about playing in L.A. past this year. Let the games begin.

karina said...

I can't watch defense, so i can't really tell. However, if he do stays, Kemp and/or Eyhier would be dumped and i don't think anyone could bear another year of Jones and Pierre in starting gigs, while Kemp and/or Ethier would be becoming stars or superstars.

Orel said...

If we signed Manny for next year then Jones would definitely have to be released. $18M down the drain!

Orel said...

Two on for Manny!

karina said...

Orel, watching Jones to go, could be possibly one of the highlights of my life...no matter of the cost...

Orel said...

It may take firing Ned Colletti first before Jones is let go.

Orel said...

Yay, Kuo!

karina said...

King James with a single and Gameday says "Kent, in play, no outs". YAY!

karina said...

So, King James and Kent are on first and second. No outs and Blake is at the plate.

karina said...

Blake GIDP.

Orel said...

Hmmm, Kuo in for the save. No Broxton?

karina said...

AS long as Brox isn't injured or something, maybe they want to build confidence with Kuo.

Orel said...

Haven't heard anything about Broxton. Must be saving him for tomorrow.

Orel said...

Torre stubbornly staying away from Broxton. Park in after Kuo lets it get to 4-2 Dodgers.

Orel said...

Phew! Dodgers win! We're back to two back!

Orel said...

Manny looks uncomfortable during the post-game interview.

karina said...

Let's go blue!. I'm confident they'll go to the playoffs...(besides the fact that Coper avatar rocks)

karina said...

Does he say something interesting?

Orel said...

Not really...he said he "got lucky" tonight.
