We may be slip-slidin' away, but at least the D-backs lost today.
ESPNdeportes interviewed Mariano Duncan about Manny Ramirez, he said he's not only brought his batting skills, but he's given a lot of enthusiasm into the clubhouse. Then, Duncan says and i quote, i'd regret if the team doesn't sign him for the next year.
Another stat: Dodgers offense only have 5 singles in the last 3 games.
Ethier walks, Kent singles, Manny's up.
Kemp, CF
Ethier, RF
Kent, 2B
Ramirez, LF
Loney, 1B
Garciaparra, SS
Blake, 3B
Martin, C
Kuroda, P
Manny HBP. Rancho Ardiendo, King James at the plate.
King James RBI single, still Rancho Ardiendo, one out.
Blake struck out with Rancho Ardiendo.
Kuroda with a leadoff single!
Kemp walks. Runners at first and second. No outs. Ethier is at the plate.
Kemp force out at second. Runners at the corners. Sincerely, that Ethier hit looked more thah a GIDP.
Kent GIDP. Bah.
Epale, Karina! I see we've given Kuroda an entire run of support to work with.
Utley RBI single. Ruiz scores. Game tied.
Epale, Orel! it seems it was a busy weekend for all and/or the Dodgers have sucked big time these few days.
Former Aguilas del Zulia Victorino robbed King James of a double (at least). Great play backwards from the plate.
Pierre was caught stealing. Clear bases, Kemp at the plate.
I find the lack of baserunners disturbing.
Or in the immortal words of Altered Images, "I could be crappy."
"Could". This team is subperforming this weekend.
Ethier stole second. How come Pierre took away a lot of his playing time?
Kent RBI single. Dodgers 2-Phillies 1.
Wow! Victory snatched from the jaws of ... oh, hell, Chan Ho Park.
Werth down on strikes! Nice.
Nice inning by Park.
ESPNdeportes trivia question:
who was the first dominican player to ever play with the Dodgers?
Manny Mota.
Kuo is on the bullpen.
Suckweeney sight.
I was close to saying Sandy Amoros, but he was Cuban.
That was a great relief.
Looks like Torre is sticking to his Park-Kuo-Broxton combo.
Ethier with the two-out single. Insurance would be nice.
Go, Brox!
Nice new avatar, Karina!
Broxton seems to have a problem getting the first batter out.
Thanks, Orel. I like that pic becuase it documents a very happy moment, however i don't look my usual very well groomed...
Victorino took lots of time to steal second, thanks the Lord for the foul bunt...
One down, man on second....
You're wearing a Manny-esque doo-rag!
I hadn't slept in a couple of days, i was having a bad hair day, so i bought a scarf from a street vendor, at the very last minute...
Great block by Russell.
It's quite fetching.
Another great save by Martin.
Broxton is wild, making son Martin to show his catching skills.
Broxton needs to throw that off-speed pitch more often.
99 MPH K. Jeez.
K on the high heat! 99 mph!
Amazing what an additional five miles can do.
By the way, Mariano Duncan: "Joe Torre marching and Chowder Society". I just saw the clip, the man worships Torre.
Unintentional intentional walk. Should have just plunked him.
Lucky for Duncan that Torre decided to keep him around!
If Pedro Feliz beats us I will jump off my roof.
Adventure! Excitement! Rum, sodomy, and the lash!
*splat*
Broxton sux0rz.
Hey guys.
And this is why I have no faith in Broxton.
Time for some Irish whiskey, perhaps?
Orel, i hope you haven't jumped from the roof...
I think Andy Tracy would have done no damage at all if we had just pitched him like a guy who has only 136 games of MLB experience, and was just called up.
Jimmy Rollins will beat the Dodgers and the Phans will implode from loathing and loving him at the same time.
Erin, are you going bidding in the next half hour or so?
No, Orel. It's unfortunately past my limit at this point.
Well, that was our best chance. Although Manny is leading off the next inning.
Or not.
It was a noble effort (or two), Erin.
Next time, Erin.
Manny singles. I'll take it.
Loney singles!
From mlb.com:
"It's not unusual for Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier to work a walk, as he ranks third on Los Angeles with 39 free passes.
What was odd about his first-inning walk on Sunday is that he drew five balls from Phillies starter Joe Blanton before taking first base.
Home-plate umpire Jerry Layne apparently lost track of the count before awarding Ethier first following the fifth ball of the at-bat."
Suckweeney. If he hits something, i promise i won't joke with him in a week.
Suckweeney is so bad, he tried to bunt as a pinch-hitter.
RANCHO ARDIENDO
I like when Joe Morgan calls someone a "contact hitter." As if other hitters blow on the ball to put it in play.
I didn't see that, Erin. It would be funny if we didn't suck so much right now.
One ball in the air, Casey. That's all we needed.
Bases loaded, nobody out, and not a damn thing to show for it. We deserve to lose.
You do your name proud, Booger!
They have blown at least 5-10 late inning leads within the past 2 weeks.
Nice nab by Loney there.
Great catch, King James!
Have they even had 5-10 late leads to protect recently?
I like that they "always" do it "every other night." So, always sometimes?
2 against the giants, 2 against the brewers, and tonight. so I guess thats 5.
So 5.
I count four since August 9. The two against SF on August 9 and 10, the one against Milwaukee on August 16, and the one against Colorado on August 20.
Beimel for closer....
Nice. Howard picked off.
Great defense, boys! now win this ballgame!
Okay, I didn't count the other one against the Brewers because we won.
yeah, you are forgetting the saturday game against the brewers when they gave up the lead in the 8th. tied in the 9th, and lost in the 10th.
The Josh auctions are going nuts.
i guess we are both correct since they lost 4 of the 5.
Angel Berroa, another stud from the Colletti stable.
Berroa singles! Let's load the bases again and score nobody!
But he started the inning with a single. He has flashes of brilliance.
You know, Aguilas is the same. Load the bases and score nothing. It's so typical. Maybe i'm the problem.
Come on Andre "Prettiest man i ever saw" Ethier!!
It's okay, everyone. Ozuna is coming to the plate.
100!
to quote vin, hopefully that guy will be gone "zuna" rather than later.
that guy doesnt belong in the bigs, he should be cutting my grass.
Erin, you read my mind.
Sweeney is bigger anyway. He could get the grass cutting down much more quickly. Though he might fail at that, too, I guess.
Manny's nonchalant way of getting the ball cost us there.
No, its because he probably never went to college.
Victorino again. He started the inning with a double. That Manny approach to the ball and throw was were a mess.
Sweeney should be bagging groceries
Awww, Ethier. There isn't a thing i don't like about him.
Looks like this game is over....
It ain't over 'till it's over.
Typical dodger baseball.
this is most likely a result of the followng:
Tommy sold his soul to the devil
We are paying for the comments of Al Campanis
Awww, Karina. There isn't a thing i don't like about you.
If Cole Hamels beats us, I will jump off my roof. Again.
Orel, you mean if Cole Hamels beats us again.
Ozuna and Berroa playing Keystone Kops.
Berroa & Ozuna= Laurel & Hardy
Touché, Erin.
I can't fucking believe this. Yet somehow I'm not at all surprised. Good night, All.
How many games will the Nationals win against us?
I would like to restatement my previous comment:
BOOGER said...
I CANT FUCKEN TAKE THIS BULLSHIT ANYMORE!!!!
THIS TEAM ALWAYS PULL THIS STUFF EVERY OTHER NIGHT.
BROXTON AND MARTIN ARE CHOKE ARTISTS!
8/24/2008 8:50 PM"
why even get the other guys out!!!
Happy Pete wins it with a huge shot to dead center. Wow.
I can't believe Pedro Feliz owned the Dodgers with a couple at bats. This is frustrating. Night all.
