SoSG Guest Writer Series: Greedo?

Rob said...

Well unfortunately I don't have much insightful to say so I will try to cloud
that fact with a gimmick like writing backwards. I do a similar thing at work
when I have nothing insightful to say at meetings, but I've noticed that in
a work setting talking backwards isn't always considered professional. At least, that's what the HR folks at each of my last seven jobs told me anyways.

I see at least that De La Rosa has a pretty crappy ERA so hopefully
we win. Go, Dodgers!

Day game at Dodger Stadium! I'll be there, in the first few rows of loge, working on my tan.

Have fun roasting, Erin!

Eric Karros said...

Well done, Rob.

Eric Karros said...

Orel, I'm flattered you think it was Greedo, but it was me. Please forgive my poor grammar, I am still learning Huttese.

Orel said...

Greedo speaks Rodian. RODIAN!

Eric Karros said...

That is his native tongue, yes, but he is also fluent in Huttese. And isn't his most famous quote "Koona t'chuta" in Huttese?

Orel said...

The former lead singer of Rage Against the Machine is pitching for the Rockies.

Orel said...

If there were only some kind of online resource we could consult, EK.

Lowe gives up a leadoff single.

Orel said...

Barmes steals second. We better not get swept by the Rockies.

Erin said...

Man, that guy got such a jump off Lowe for that SB.

Erin said...

Season is over if we lose today. It's that important. Arizona is winning when it matters, and we're just not.

Orel said...

Loney pulls a Buckner! E-3!

Orel said...

Two games, five errors and counting....

Erin said...

Four more errors tonight?

Orel said...

My heart agrees with you, Erin, but my head does not.

My spleen has no comment.

Erin said...

A sweep of the Phils, followed by a series win over the Brewers. Those were big, and we should have continued that run. Instead, we lose a series to the Rockies (with a sweep very possible) and head to Philly at least two back.

My head wants to believe, too, and will continue to until the playoffs are mathematically impossible. But my heart is losing faith, mostly because the team hasn't been showing any of their own heart the last two games. I know it's just two games, but it's two we should have had.

I don't know, though. Maybe they'll surprise us in Philly.

Orel said...

Dodgers go meekly in the first.

Orel said...

It's baffling how this team completely folds against NL West opponents, regardless of record. We are 1-4 against the NL West in the past two weeks.

Orel said...

Martin takes strike three with Manny on first.

Erin said...

I'll tel you what's hard to watch--Martin struggling at the plate while Torre continues to insist Martin isn't tired (despite getting into all but three games this season). Martin didn't take the bat off his shoulders in that at-bat. De La Rosa (and his 6.04 ERA) look untouchable thus far.

Snoop Dogg is in the house!

Orel said...

"Toe dance by Loney!" —Vin

Orel said...

Keith Olbermann, Snoop Dogg...they're all the same.

Erin said...

Snoop is down in Dugout Club, though, so I won't be chatting with him.

Orel said...

You should flash him one of your White Girl Gang Signs.

Orel said...

One booted ball deserves another.

Erin said...

There goes the perfect game, but we're still getting no-hit.

Orel said...

This feels like a 1-0 one-hit victory for the Rockies.

Erin said...

Sure does, Orel. My battery is dying, so this is my last comment. Hopefully the Dodgers get to De La Rosa, and soon.

Orel said...

nooo Erin don't gooooo...

Orel said...

Manny hustle!

Orel said...

ManRam SB!

Orel said...

DODGERS SCORE DODGERS SCORE

Orel said...

Casey Blake GIDP. 1-1 tie.

Orel said...

The Kemp-Ethier combination is a winner! (Although Ethier got thrown out at second to end the inning.)

2-1 Dodgers.

Alex Cora said...

Hello everyone, just turned on the game before I goto work. Seems too close for comfort.

Alex Cora said...

wow, that was quick. Another DP.

Orel said...

Too close for comfort? All the Dodgers need is a one-run lead! Why just last night...oh wait, never mind.

Alex Cora said...

Yeah - free James Loney with the bomb.

Orel said...

LONEY BOMB! Insurance! 3-1 Dodgers!

Rob said...

AFLAC!

Orel said...

What insurance is that, Yogi?

Orel said...

Matt Holliday is a stud.

Orel said...

Martin didn't hustle after that ball at all. Maybe he is tired.

Orel said...

Broxton throwing gas! Dodgers win!

Alex Cora said...

Woohoo!!! We win!!! GO Blue! Now off to work.
