karina said...: Orel, i have the impression he doesn't do very well at his hometown. Stats should be somewhere.; 4/21/2009 7:54 PM
Unknown said...: Loney has a .988 career OPS against the 'Stros. He had, up till today, a 1.267 OPS at the Juice Box.; 4/21/2009 7:56 PM
Loney Fan said...: Loretta swallows up the ground ball and makes a fast throw to third for the second out.; 4/21/2009 8:00 PM
karina said...: Thanks, i had a distorted perception.; 4/21/2009 8:01 PM
Orel said...: silver lining: Troncoso; 4/21/2009 8:01 PM
Loney Fan said...: Troncoso retires his fifth straight on a check swing; 4/21/2009 8:02 PM
Loney Fan said...: There it is Russell, nice leadoff hit; 4/21/2009 8:05 PM
Orel said...: "Juan Pierre has snuck out on deck."; 4/21/2009 8:06 PM
Unknown said...: LaTroy still can bring the heat.; 4/21/2009 8:06 PM
NicJ said...: kemp would of swung at that last year; 4/21/2009 8:08 PM
Dusto_Magnifico said...: damn... was hoping Kemp would get on.; 4/21/2009 8:09 PM
karina said...: This game is a parade of LOB, from both teams.; 4/21/2009 8:09 PM
Dusto_Magnifico said...: good ole pop up Pierre... at it again!; 4/21/2009 8:11 PM
Orel said...: "Loney has a .988 career OPS against the 'Stros. He had, up till today, a 1.267 OPS at the Juice Box."

Thanks, Alireza.; 4/21/2009 8:11 PM
Unknown said...: Damn it Slappy. Why wasn't DeWitt hitting again?; 4/21/2009 8:12 PM
PenosCabell said...: This is painful; 4/21/2009 8:12 PM
Loney Fan said...: One chance left; 4/21/2009 8:13 PM
PenosCabell said...: At least the Lakers are winning; 4/21/2009 8:13 PM
Orel said...: 17 LOB for the Dodgers!; 4/21/2009 8:14 PM
PenosCabell said...: 17 LOB - disgusting; 4/21/2009 8:15 PM
Unknown said...: Against Valverde:

Furcal - .200 .200 .200 .400

Hudson - Never Faced (makes sense)

Manny - .000 .500 .000 .500 (1 K 1 BB)

Ethier - .000 .250 .000 .250 (1 BB 0 Ks)

Not promising. Lots of small sample sizes.; 4/21/2009 8:16 PM
Unknown said...: Bellysario needs to get a little more nasty.; 4/21/2009 8:19 PM
Orel said...: That was Loney's fault.; 4/21/2009 8:19 PM
Unknown said...: ARGH; 4/21/2009 8:20 PM
PenosCabell said...: Last chance; 4/21/2009 8:21 PM
NicJ said...: sd up on sf 2-1 in the 4th btw; 4/21/2009 8:22 PM
PenosCabell said...: Lakers up 49-39; 4/21/2009 8:22 PM
Unknown said...: Papa Grande has been a bit shaky so far this year. Lets hope that carries to today.; 4/21/2009 8:22 PM
PenosCabell said...: Watching Valverde coming in is disturbing; 4/21/2009 8:23 PM
Orel said...: Raffy speed machine!; 4/21/2009 8:24 PM
Loney Fan said...: Raffy gets on!

Deshields - you missed 227 again; 4/21/2009 8:24 PM
PenosCabell said...: OK. Now if Hudson can get on.; 4/21/2009 8:24 PM
Unknown said...: RAFFY!!; 4/21/2009 8:25 PM
Unknown said...: That fastball is out of the park if Valverde throws it to Kemp or Manny.; 4/21/2009 8:26 PM
Dusto_Magnifico said...: Valverde looks pretty hittable.; 4/21/2009 8:26 PM
Orel said...: Did Hudson and Valverde play together in AZ?; 4/21/2009 8:27 PM
Loney Fan said...: Hudson working the count; 4/21/2009 8:27 PM
NicJ said...: sf up 5 -2 now! yay?; 4/21/2009 8:27 PM
PenosCabell said...: We're in business now.; 4/21/2009 8:28 PM
Loney Fan said...: Amazing! Berkman has to fall off the bag because Valverde made a bad throw; 4/21/2009 8:28 PM
Unknown said...: In play, no out; 4/21/2009 8:28 PM
NicJ said...: ooohhh, shut up lyons who's side are you on?; 4/21/2009 8:28 PM
Unknown said...: Yes they did Orel.; 4/21/2009 8:28 PM
Orel said...: Wow! Hudson hit Valverde with the ball, Valverde lost it then recovered and threw to first while falling down. Lyons says Dodgers get a break on the safe call.; 4/21/2009 8:28 PM
Dusto_Magnifico said...: I kinda wish valverde would stay in.; 4/21/2009 8:29 PM
Unknown said...: What is the "injury delay"?; 4/21/2009 8:29 PM
Orel said...: Nic: conflicting emotions, eh?; 4/21/2009 8:29 PM
Loney Fan said...: Vavlerde and Hudson played together the last two years I believe; 4/21/2009 8:29 PM
Orel said...: Valverde's leg; 4/21/2009 8:29 PM
Unknown said...: Ah, makes sense.

Who do they bring in at this point? Byrdak?; 4/21/2009 8:30 PM
NicJ said...: yeah. i feel a little dirty rooting for the orange and black.; 4/21/2009 8:30 PM
Loney Fan said...: Injury delay because Hudson's hit bounced off of Valverde's leg. Valverde turned around and found the ball but threw off balanced at that point. Looks like Hudson was actually out but Berkman was laying out for the ball and it was hard to call.; 4/21/2009 8:30 PM
Orel said...: Must be hard for Berkman not to be a dick to the ump.; 4/21/2009 8:30 PM
Orel said...: Manny is the tying run!; 4/21/2009 8:31 PM
PenosCabell said...: Time to tie this up.; 4/21/2009 8:31 PM
Dusto_Magnifico said...: Come on Manny! Put it in the seats!!!

Manny!

Manny!

Manny!; 4/21/2009 8:31 PM
Orel said...: Valverde stays in.; 4/21/2009 8:31 PM
Orel said...: Damn, warning track power.; 4/21/2009 8:31 PM
NicJ said...: damn that was about as close as it gets; 4/21/2009 8:31 PM
Unknown said...: Loney Fan - Not last year. Valverde was already in Houston. They played together in 2006 and 2007.; 4/21/2009 8:32 PM
Dusto_Magnifico said...: The astros radio team was talking about a game ending tripple play with the astros and dodgers a few years back...

and manny flies out.; 4/21/2009 8:32 PM
Orel said...: "Ethier's due." —Collins; 4/21/2009 8:32 PM

Please James. Please don't GIDP.; 4/21/2009 8:35 PM

Orel said...: Loney swings at a neck-high fastball. 0-2 count.; 4/21/2009 8:36 PM

Loney Fan said...: Loney Loney Loney! What are you doing?!; 4/21/2009 8:38 PM
Dusto_Magnifico said...: and james is having a tough game.; 4/21/2009 8:38 PM
PenosCabell said...: That was painful; 4/21/2009 8:38 PM

NicJ said...: he was wearing matt kemps old contacts; 4/21/2009 8:38 PM
Unknown said...: Allez Russell.; 4/21/2009 8:39 PM
Unknown said...: That last heater might have been Valverde's nastiest pitch.; 4/21/2009 8:40 PM
NicJ said...: it had to end sometime; 4/21/2009 8:41 PM
Loney Fan said...: Ouch; 4/21/2009 8:41 PM
PenosCabell said...: 3 more LOB for Martin. Wonderful.; 4/21/2009 8:41 PM
Orel said...: dayum; 4/21/2009 8:41 PM

PenosCabell said...: That was painful to watch.; 4/21/2009 8:41 PM
Loney Fan said...: "Valverde may have hurt himself celebrating... again"; 4/21/2009 8:42 PM
Loney Fan said...: Valverde was definitely limping off the field; 4/21/2009 8:42 PM
Orel said...: Post-Game Thread is up.; 4/21/2009 8:42 PM
Alex Cora said...: Damn, well, there goes the win streak. Hope to see you all tomorrow.; 4/21/2009 8:43 PM
Loney Fan said...: Watched it again on Tivo. Looks like Valverde did sprain his ankle celebrating.; 4/21/2009 8:43 PM
PenosCabell said...: Oswalt tomorrow; 4/21/2009 8:43 PM
