Beard ties it up!

NicJ said...

kiss the beard.

PenosCabell said...

The beard comes through.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

BEARD MODE!

Fred's Brim said...

calling it now - Loretta 2 run homer

Orel said...

Shields is really struggling this season.

Orel said...

I will not tell you to try again, FB!

karina said...

Time for the pinch-hitter, Loretta?

Fred's Brim said...

hehe almost

NicJ said...

about 100 feet short FB

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Beast Mode is due for a hit.

Fred's Brim said...

i will shut up on the predictions now

PenosCabell said...

This is the Juan Pierre we know and hate!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Beast Mode reverts to Slappy McPopup. Broxton will come in now. Maybe he can get his fifth win of the season.

Orel said...

Who do the Angels bring out in the ninth?

karina said...

All right guys, new game the Dodgers are going to win.

PenosCabell said...

Beast Mode is back to being Slappy.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I hope the Anaheim Angels bring in Fuentes on no rest.

PenosCabell said...

Battle of the Bullpens

Orel said...

Doubtful on the road.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Again, I hope.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

My hopes might just be correct. Fuentes is warming in the 'pen.

NicJ said...

got the leadoff, there goes the little ball.

HA

NicJ said...

BTW, Schmidt was hit on the side of the head tonight. They said it wasnt serious though.

Orel said...

Wow, Aybar gave it a ride.

PenosCabell said...

2 down

Orel said...

Rarely do we kill the Angels. When we beat them, it's a squeaker.

karina said...

Orel, we all could take a win by a tiny margin.

Orel said...

Nasty pitch to get Rivera.

Fred's Brim said...

nice work, JB

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Broxton's slider has improved so much.

NicJ said...

wow, brox looked great tonight. Lets not spoil it.

NicJ said...

i need a hero!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

6-0 shutout last year doesn't exactly scream "squeaker"

NicJ said...

shields is still out there? is this a concession?

Orel said...

All I remember was that 1-0 no-hit win.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Raffy walks.

Orel said...

Damn, Shields is a wreck. Normally I like the guy, but today? Good.

NicJ said...

damn

NicJ said...

be a hero jamie.

Orel said...

C'mon, new guy.

PenosCabell said...

NICE!!

Orel said...

Awesome. Shields is gift-wrapping this for us.

NicJ said...

i guess scot is the hero tonight.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

SHIELDS THROWS IT AWAY! O-DOG GOES TO THIRD!

Orel said...

That was a good throw.

Fred's Brim said...

wow what a time for a bad throw!
now get him home!

karina said...

Gameday is slow and mixed up. Did we win?

NicJ said...

five infielders again.

Orel said...

Fly ball wins it, rook!

PenosCabell said...

Hit the ball far New guy.

Steve Sax said...

wow, good time to come back, with hudson just making it to third on the blown pickoff

PenosCabell said...

I'm On the edge of my seat.

NicJ said...

that was low

PenosCabell said...

That looked low.

Fred's Brim said...

damnation. that was low, blue

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That pitch was under the knees.

PenosCabell said...

Basehit please Russell.

NicJ said...

wild pitch please

Orel said...

Report on Ethier: split right big toenail.

PenosCabell said...

Loney's turn to be the hero

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Good eye from Russ. Now it's time for Big Game James.

NicJ said...

please james. dont ground out.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

How the hell did Ethier do that?

NicJ said...

big game james now? how many basketball names is he going to have.

PenosCabell said...

Probably when he got hit by the pitch on the toe.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Oh, well I didn't start watching the game until recently, so I wouldn't have known.

karina said...

Is big game James another nick for LeBron James?

PenosCabell said...

Lackey nailed him in the foot earlier.

NicJ said...

no, James Worthy. The laker great.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Big Game James was the monicker for hall-of-fame Laker James Worthy.

Steve Sax said...

wow, the chess game continues

karina said...

Injury delay?

Orel said...

Can Hudson steal home during the pitching change?

NicJ said...

orel, it couldnt hurt to try.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Unless the umps call him out. That would hurt.

Steve Sax said...

what you talking about, willits?

NicJ said...

no game james loney.

PenosCabell said...

That was pathetic

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Oh jeez. That hurts.

NicJ said...

can a loss go to a first basemen?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hoffman and Loney deserve the blame for this on. Loney swung at balls two and three, and Hoffman looked at two down-the-middle fastballs that were easy-pickings.

karina said...

Free baseball at Dodger Stadium.

King James was the maker of the tying run, so he can be forgiven of this one.

Fred's Brim said...

ugh

what are the chances that Shields was actually hurt there? I am picturing Al Czervic during the big match at the end of Caddyshack

NicJ said...

to be fair it was hoffmans second game, james doesnt have that excuse.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I wish I couldn't blame Hoffman since he's just a kid, but that 2-1 pitch was a hitter's dream.

Orel said...

Guess Broxton won't be available tomorrow.

Orel said...

Was that a slider that got Matthews?

Fred's Brim said...

it was nasty, whatever it was. he swung 6 inches over that pitch

Steve Sax said...

Ah Raffy, you need to grab that one.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Error or hit?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Ok it's a hit.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Oh crap, throw gets away.

Steve Sax said...

come on, it was clear kendrick was going to take second. martin, come on.

PenosCabell said...

Pre-back surgery Furcal would have made that play.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Whew, Broxton got him.

PenosCabell said...

Nasty.

Steve Sax said...

yay, willits!

Orel said...

How amazing is it that Broxton isn't relying on his fastball as his out pitch?

Fred's Brim said...

narsty! great work, JB!

PenosCabell said...

Please end this now. I don't want to see Mota or Ohman.

Orel said...

That's the Kemp we know and love!

Steve Sax said...

let's go, nice job kemp with the leadoff single

PenosCabell said...

BOOOOOOO!!!

Orel said...

Kemp is pushing it....

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Blake saved Kemp's hide.

PenosCabell said...

Kemp had a good jump

Orel said...

Blake fouled off a pitch-out. Vladimir-esque.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

BEARD MODE!

Orel said...

Beard singles!

Steve Sax said...

Casey with a sweeeet single

PenosCabell said...

Lets end this now.

Juan Castro coming up to bat.

Orel said...

I think the Angels are going to try the hidden-ball trick. That is Scioscia's big strategy here.

PenosCabell said...

Oh Christ!

We would like to go to bed already.

Orel said...

The Angels are having more meetings than...

Steve Sax said...

...the UN security council during an international event?

Wow, that is nerdy. sorry.

Steve Sax said...

...harper valley pta?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The Angels network keeps going to a behind-the-plate view. It's really pissing me off.

Orel said...

RANCHO ARDIENDO

Steve Sax said...

wow, ball four. no outs.

PenosCabell said...

On a silver platter

MR.F said...

It's time for BEAST MODE.

Steve Sax said...

okay, I'm not going to say anything bad...COME ON SLAPPY

Orel said...

Beast Mode walk-off grand slam. You heard it here first.

Orel said...

Angels re-enacting "A Chorus Line" on the infield.

karina said...

Loved the international politics reference, don't ask apologies for it.

go Beast! even a walk would do.

Steve Sax said...

2-0 to beast mode

Steve Sax said...

come on, walk off walk

Orel said...

I smell walk-off walk!

PenosCabell said...

Walk off...walk?

Steve Sax said...

Dear Juan Pierre,

Do Not Swing Here with a 3-0 count.

Thank you.

PenosCabell said...

I don't care how, just get the win

Steve Sax said...

Okay, it's 3-1.

but still, don't be predisposed to swing.

Steve Sax said...

let's go slappy (clap clap, clap clap clap)

Orel said...

Full count!

MR.F said...

BEASTLY WALK!!!!!

PenosCabell said...

HALLELUJAH!

Steve Sax said...

the walk off walk!!!

SCORE BIG

Fred's Brim said...

yes Yes YES!
Thank you Juanny!

Steve Sax said...

third walk-off walk for the dodgers this year

PenosCabell said...

It wasn't pretty, but we'll take it.

karina said...

Slappy McPopup could work now.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

YAY BEAST MODE!

Fred's Brim said...

great win for JB - he earned it

karina said...

walk off walk! wow! big comeback win!

PenosCabell said...

Cant wait for tomorrow.
