Clayton Kershaw (2-3, 3.78) vs. Jeff Suppan (8-7, 4.56).
COMMENTS: Luck stopped being a lady for the Dodgers last night, but that's life, that's what all the people say. If the Dodgers make the playoffs, then people will say it was a very good year. While the best is yet to come for young Kershaw, he can fly us to the moon by showing a little stopper mentality today—making sure the Dodgers and wins over quality teams aren't like strangers in the night, exchanging glances. And although the Dodgers with and without Manny Ramirez have been like day and night, night and day, it can't be only Manny and then send in the clowns. I mean, I get a kick out of Manny. You could say I've got him under my skin. But every player has to produce or this season will just end up being somethin' stupid.

We're heading out to Chavez Ravine thanks to SoSG ticket giveaway. Thanks guys! According to his stats as a Dodger, Manny is overdue for a homer. Accordingly, I will settle for nothing less. Viva Los!
Nice GT, Orel. Tommy Lasorda approves...

Enjoy, LF! Don't let Gabe Kapler steal any more homers!
Frankly speaking, I like the GT. Now let's hope Kershaw can notch another summer win(d) today.
I wonder if Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee will be watching this game.
And if so, what would Dubee do?
A pun that employs a set-up comment! Not sure I can top that.
All my puns are nice 'n easy.
Solo HR by Kemp and a 2-run HR by Manny make it 3-0 Dodgers after the first. Power is nice.
Astros 3, D'backs 0 in the ninth.
Hey I like the way the dodgers are hitting!
Also fashion police update, Martin with the high socks!
My son Martin should look adorable with the high socks.
Kershaw seems to be the pitcher who always struggles in the first couple of innings.
Hopefully he'll settle down. He left Rancho Ardiendo in the second.
Kershaw lets another man on to start the inning. Come on young pup settle down.
That curve is great - But I still want to hear Vin say Public Enemy Number One!
3-1 Dodgers
Kershaw's not pitching great but he's gotten some timely double plays.
On Friday night, i went to my friend's birthday party (after i saw the Clone Wars twice). I could watch the game and one of my friends, who doesn't like baseball, was watching it with me. Before Martin homered, i was telling him he was my favorite player right now and i tried to explain his awesomeness. After the HR, my friend was surprised: he was saying: he bends on his knees, always throwing over and over and he hits home runs, he is a great athlete! then i explained him not only Martin does that, but his other attributes as well. My friend ended up saying:
"He's one of the greatest athletes i've ever seen"
ETHIER HR! This kid is good!
You made a convincing argument, Karina!
How was Clone Wars? Worth seeing? I guess so, if you saw it twice.
Think all the talent and time wasted, when Ethier was riding the bench, to start an overpaid mediocre player.
Well, Clone Wars was entertaining, not a masterpiece. I liked it overall, liked the female characters, the music (however there are fans who didn't like the music because it wasn't written by John Williams) among other things i won't say, so i don't spoil it for you.
Not only i saw it twice, i saw it twice by myself.
From one Star Wars geek to another, you have my admiration.
Wow, Either flashing the power. Look at the young kids hitting the ball out of the park!
Oh boy, it's Sweeney.
Karina: Did you see it back to back 2 showings in a row?
You might not like Jason Johnson and his inconsistency, but anyone who pitches with an insulin belt pump is pretty cool.
Yes, i saw the Clone Wars back to back showings in a row. By myself.
Thanks for your admiration, Orel.
Ethier doubles off McClung. He is making up for lost time.
Manny with a rocket off the glove of the third baseman. Ethier scores but Manny is thrown out trying to stretch at second. He upended Ray Durham but helped Durham to his feet before getting up himself.
5-1 Dodgers!
Ethier has proved he's a great outfielder. I'm sure if Ethier and Kemp had played regularly all season, they'd be in the league's finest.
Chan Ho Park pulls a Chan Ho Park! 5-5 tie!
Oh crap....tied up.
Crap Crap Crap Crap Crap Crap Crap
EK would no doubt note that Park spelled backwards is....Krap.
FYI, Ho Park backwards is Oh Krap
I just proved your comment correct Orel! I just popped in, on the way home I saw it was 5-1, when I got home it was 5-5.
Time for another walk-off, boys!
You took it a word further, EK!
GREAT AB by Kemp. Waved at a few off-speed pitches but stayed patient and connected for a single.
You called it Orel!!! WALK OFF!!!
Dodgers win! Either with the walk off homerun. Back in first place! Go Blue!!!!!!!!

I confess that I turned off Charley Steiner's radio call, on my little helmet radio, when Park gave up the game-tying bomb.
Ten minutes later, I flipped it back on to hear the "you've been listening to Dodgers baseball"...blah blah blah blah blah blah. I figured we had won it...another Dinger with Andre!
Having said that, let's see if Torre benches Andre now...
