Game 147 Thread: Sept 12 @ Rockies, 6p

Chad Billingsley (14-10, 3.02) vs Jeff Francis (4-9, 5.03).

COMMENTS: Happy Andre Ethier Day! A wild off-day filled with Wonder Dogs, foxes and Wookiees, ducks and chickens has readied us for a return to the the NL West jungle, where the Dodgers lead the Snakes by 3.5 games. The Dodgers' Pitbull goes against former Thunderbird Jeff Francis, while Arizona's Webb-spinner faces Cincinnati. Advantage Diamondbacks, although they are 1-2 against the Reds.


The Dodgers are 8-7 against the Rockies. Let's hope they continue to kick a little ass!

That game thread pic makes me want to watch Ace Ventura again.

Orel said...

Alrighty then.

karina said...

Andre Ethier singles! Happy Andre Ethier day!

karina said...

Manny GIDP.

karina said...

Halliday HR. Rockies 1-0. 2 out.

karina said...

Hawpe singles...does Bills look bad?

karina said...

Atkins singles, too.

karina said...

Owings is going to the Reds. He's the final player of the Dunn trade. Dusty Baker plans to use him as pinch-hitter, becuase they don't want him to injure himself again.

karina said...

Kemp: in play (runs)

Garciaparra walks.

karina said...

The Bison doubled!. Game tied!

karina said...

Kemp advanced to 3rd, due to an error. Berroa sac-fly and that's how Dodgers beat Rockies 2-1.

karina said...

Edit: DeWitt sac-fly. Next, Berroa singled.

karina said...

Tulowistzky doubled. One out.

karina said...

Taveras HBP. Barmes singled. Game tied. Halliday fortunately strikes out.

karina said...

Edit: Gameday played with my mind. Halliday flied out.

karina said...

Martin works the walk to start the inning.

karina said...

Ethier grounds into force out.

karina said...

Garciaparra doubles!. No outs!

karina said...

Kemp singles, Garciaparra scores, Kemp reaches second for an error. No outs! Dodgers 3-2

karina said...

DeWitt grounds out, Kemp to 3rd, Berroa K, Bills is up.

karina said...

When Barmes was at the plate, Bills made a bad throw. Taveras is now at 3rd, 2 outs.

karina said...

Martin started the inning getting on base, again. He singled.

karina said...

A. Ethier: in play (no outs)

karina said...

Another error by the Colorado defense. Martin and Ethier in first and second. Go Manny!

karina said...

Manny flied out into double play. Martin was out at 3rd. Wish i could see that play.

karina said...

Bills walks Atkins, after dominating Holliday and Hawpe with two pitches.

karina said...

Bills made every out of the 5th, throwing one pitch to each batter.

karina said...

He's not his dominant self, but he's keeping the team on the game, as remarkable pitchers do.

Orel said...

Thanks for holding down the fort, Karina!

No score in AZ.

Orel said...

Good to see Kemp hitting today. 2-for-3 w/2 RBIs.

karina said...

A pleasure, Orel. I hope you don't mind.

Friday night and i'm feeling very geeky, don't know why...

Orel said...

It's all the Star Wars talk.

Orel said...

How was that not a strike???

Orel said...

C'mon Chad, hold it together.

karina said...

Orel, i'm working on my thesis, keeping an eye on the game, commenting here, watching with my other eye Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, then i plan to watch the Angels game, crossing fingers Kid Rodriguez breaks the record. Does it sound a little bit geeky?

karina said...

You can do it, Bills!

karina said...

Bills k's Helton!

karina said...

Bills did it!...still no score between Arizona and Cincinatti.

Orel said...

Delwyn Young sighting!

Orel said...

Just how many eyes do you have, Karina?

karina said...

I'm good multi-tasking. Film just ended, don't know why i even watched it if it is my least favorite of all, so far.

karina said...

Glad Young got a walk. Son popped put and Ethier K. Manny, you're my only hope.

Orel said...

Manny RBI. 4-2 Dodgers.

1-0 AZ, bot 7.

Steve Sax said...

Hey Orel and Karina, just joining the party after a fun, but early, night out on the town (Melrose in Hollywood, to be specific).

Just saw Manny's RBI. One on, one out in the bottom of the sevent. AZ up 1-0 in the top of the eighth.

Steve Sax said...

Torre pulls Park for Elbert...

Steve Sax said...

Dodgers get out of the seventh! Nice job, Wade!

karina said...

and Elbert for Wade. Three pitchers to finish the 7th.

Hi Steve!, glad you had a great time.

Steve Sax said...

man on third, none out in AZ

karina said...

King James sighting.

Steve Sax said...

Karina, I'm just scoping out the scene in anticipation of your visit to LA!

Loney with the leadoff hit.

karina said...

Arizona defeating Reds 1-0 on the 8th.

Steve Sax said...

S Drew Ks, so there's one out in AZ with a man still at third. 1-0 AZ.

Loney sacrificed to second, but they're IBBing DeWitt to get to Angel Berroa.

Orel said...

Cliff Lee won his 22nd. Wow.

Steve Sax said...

Karina, so when are you getting here, anyway?

Steve Sax said...

Eckstein walks. Men at the corners, one out, in AZ.

Here comes Berroa.

Steve Sax said...

Berroa hits into the 4-6-3 DP.

Dodgers leave one, still lead 4-2.

karina said...

Awwwwww, Steve!, remember hopefully i'll be there next spring!

Steve Sax said...

Wow, there are SIX postponed games tonight. That means almost half the league is not playing tonight.

karina said...

Guys, Beltre made a sweeeet defensive play. I still love him, even though he's not a Dodger anymore.

Orel said...

Rockies sending up their four-syllable-last-named players: Iannetta and Tulowitzki.

Steve Sax said...

Boy, the highlight shows are going to suck tonight! Guess we'll see more stories about the OSU/USC game tomorrow.

Steve Sax said...

Chris Young walks in AZ. How cn you walk Young? He's not even batting .250! So here comes Adam Dunn with the bases juiced.

karina said...

If Francisco Rodriguez breaks the record tonight, expect a LOT of coverage. Down here, it's gonna be madness...

Steve Sax said...

It's not raining here in LA, btw.

Orel said...

Uh-oh, Rancho Ardiendo for Adam Dunn in AZ.

karina said...

However, Steve, i'm worried about the impasse between Venezuela, or i'd better say Chavez and the USA.

karina said...

Dunn walks. Arizona 2-Cincinnati 0. Rancho Ardiendo, one out.

Alex Cora said...

Sorry to join the party late - glad to see we are up. And with two on with manny up!

karina said...

Gameday is way behind tonight.

Alex Cora said...

Hey a Pierre sighting!

Alex Cora said...

10 push ups for that pop up Pierre.

karina said...

with Rancho Ardiendo...i hope he does it right...

Orel said...

3-0 AZ.

karina said...

Tough decision for Torre: Sweeney or Pierre?

Alex Cora said...

Decision for Torre should have been Wade to bat...

Orel said...

Loney with a 3-RBI double! 7-2 Dodgers!

Alex Cora said...

Loney comes through AGAIN at Coors. Clears the bases...opens it WIDE OPEN!

Orel said...

27 RBIs over 17 ABs in CO for Loney, says Vin.

karina said...

That's why he's called KING.

Alex Cora said...

Proctor sighting! GO PROCTOLOGIST!

Alex Cora said...

Padres outright Brian Falkenberg - remember him on the dodgers earlier this year?

Orel said...

10 of 11!

Steve Sax said...

dodgers win! three late rbi from James!

See you tomorrow, I'm going back out to the bars!

karina said...

Finally, Dodgers are spoiling us!

karina said...

Steve, i like the way you talk. Have fun!

Orel said...

Rancho Ardiendo for the Reds....

karina said...

Two outs...

Orel said...

In play, run(s)!

karina said...

Arizona 3- Reds 2

Alex Cora said...

Come on you REDS!!!! Congrats to the dodgers too! Go blue!

Alex Cora said...

Damn stirke out Az wins...well at least we took care of business.

Orel said...

Aaugh, so close. But AZ wins.

karina said...

As long they keep with this pace, everything's all right.
