Game 48 Thread: May 27 @ Rockies, 12n

MANNYWATCH: 32 GAMES

Clayton Kershaw (2-3, 4.32) vs. Ubaldo Jimenez (3-5, 4.25).

COMMENTS: Dodger fan? Laker fan? Fan of both? No matter where your Los Angeles loyalties lie, today's your day. This afternoon the Dodgers go for their second series sweep of Colorado after outscoring the Rockies 23-7 in their first two games. And tonight the Lakers go for a 3-2 series lead over the Nuggets in the Western Conference finals.

And if that isn't enough to make you cancel all your meetings, lock yourself in with your television and/or computer and order a pizza, consider this: The Dodgers have not lost when playing on the same day as a Lakers-Nuggets playoff game. Sorry, Colorado, it's nothing personal.

For you lid junkies, don't expect to find those cool hats pictured above. The first one was a 2008 Rock 'n' Jocks exclusive. Only a total of 30 were made. The second went on sale at Undefeated at the beginning of the year, but isn't currently listed on their site.

Hmmmm I went back to Spock's Beard mode and we go ahead.


Hmmmmmmmm

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Does that mean I can Clint Howard mode or Anna Kornikova mode, or stash them away temporarily?

Wesley Vento said...

munch munch munch

Unknown said...

Watching the pFX on Bellisario is a good indicator of why post-humidor Coors is still a pitcher's park. At Dodger Stadium, Belly is getting up to 15" of movement on his fastball. At Coors, he is getting half that.

Josh S. said...

Embree in now. Do we go up another 6 runs?

Unknown said...

Lets see Andre continue his progress today by sending an Embree heater out.

Unknown said...

OK, I guess Embree had other things in mind.

Unknown said...

So. For how much longer do we think Castro maintains this pace?

Alex Cora said...

APADACA!!!

Unknown said...

Beard Mode is doing a rather good Pujols Mode impersonation lately.

Josh S. said...

If the Furcal injury is worse than they're letting on, Castro's going to need to keep up this pace.

Unknown said...

I wonder if anyone actually reads the reports on Pierre that show he hits lefties better than righties?

Alex Cora said...

For as long as possible!!! Seriously though, he is a 14 year vet. I wonder it too.

Alex Cora said...

bloop single for the beast. another rbi.

Josh S. said...

Juan Pierre=NL MVP.

Unknown said...

Josh - If Furcal's injury is worse than they are letting on, they need to bring DeWitt up.

BTW, why the hell did Belly hit?

Wesley Vento said...

Are you sure Juan Pierre isn't from Brazil?

Josh S. said...

Belly's going to stay in, I guess.

Wesley Vento said...

DeWitt would not be my first choice as a back up SS

Neeebs (The Original) said...

How long is Furcal current contract? Aren't we paying him 10 Million per year?

Alex Cora said...

Hey Belly has a nice inning.

karina said...

Belisario is getting better the more time he spends on the big leagues.

Good, i leave the game tied and when i come back it's Dodgers 8-3.

Josh S. said...

Neeebs: Three years.

Unknown said...

Hong - DeWitt wouldn't be the backup, he would be the starter. He is absolutely raking at ABQ, and it isn't because he has hit a ton of HR in the thin air.

Neeebs - Furcal's contract is 3/30 with a mix of deferred bonus and staggered yearly pay rates.

Steve Sax said...

Wow, had to step away there for a second...James Loney is a stud! Bases-clearing double in the seventh...wow!

Orel said...

Another come-from-behind effort (I won't say victory and risk the jinx). I know it's Colorado, but it's nice to see the Dodgers do what they're supposed to do.

Steve Sax said...

rbnlaw, I just saw your "i will not resort to trickery for 200...200" comment. LOL.

karina said...

King James is on a hot streak right know, if he doesn't hit, at least he seems to have very good at-bats often.

Steve Sax said...

hey all you guys mentioning long-ass websites: tinyurl, baby. tinyurl.

Unknown said...

Wow. Street seems to have really gotten his nasty back.

Steve Sax said...

Martin 0-for-5 with 2Ks. Ouch.

karina said...

3 more outs, fellas

rbnlaw said...

Tough day to be a Qubecki catcher.

Steve Sax said...

be back at half-past, dudes

rbnlaw said...

Thanks Sax.

Josh S. said...

Is Belly closing this up or was someone else warming up?

Unknown said...

3 innings for Belly?

Josh S. said...

Nope! Here comes Willow Man!

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Uggh on Furcal's contract.

He's not the same Furcal.

Unknown said...

Qubecki? Do you mean Quebequois?

Josh S. said...

Torre drives me batty sometimes when he comes out with the hook after a single. Then again, I'm not a manager.

Unknown said...

Josh - I still can't quite figure why Torre left him in even for the 1 batter. I suppose he wanted to wait to go to Ohman until after the RHB.

Unknown said...

Oh Man.

Unknown said...

Wow. Is Joe already yanking him?

Josh S. said...

Who's coming in? Brox?

karina said...

No lead is safe at Coors Field...3 outs left

Unknown said...

Ox Mode.

Alex Cora said...

Lets close this out Brox.

Unknown said...

Damn. Ox is throwing 98 and painting. He just gets better.

Josh S. said...

Any chance we blow the Cubbies out tomorrow so Brox can get the day off?
I'd like to see him get some more national exposure this weekend.

Unknown said...

What the hell was that Jon? This guy is the back up back up catcher up from AAA. Just gas him.

rbnlaw said...

OK, who thought that was an insurance run in the top of the 9th?
Nice going OH-MAN!

Orel said...

Hmmm, Loney's RBIs coming in handy....

Unknown said...

Wow. What an awful call by the umpire.

karina said...

A walk. Runners at first and second. Getting ugly, c-mon Brox!

Unknown said...

Seriously. Broxton's zone is really getting squeezed.

Orel said...

C'mon, Brox!

Booger said...

I blame Joe Torre for the awful 9th so far, he couldve left Bellisario in.

Ohman isnt a closer.

Booger said...

Great one swing can end this thing, thanks Brox.

Booger said...

What is it with Brox & Day games, last time was against the Phillies

Unknown said...

Oh my goodness. Broxton struck out Fowler and they didn't call the pitch. This is bad.

karina said...

Bases loaded for the Rockies and just one out. Too interesting for my taste.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Time for desperate measures, time for Clint Howard Mode.

Booger said...

this game should have been a laugher.

Booger said...

Torre really mis-managed this game.

he is really pathetic and handling the bullpen.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Come on BroX.

Wesley Vento said...

:|

Booger said...

like i've said many times, this game has heartbreack written all over it.

rbnlaw said...

ugh.

Booger said...

i mean heartbreak

Orel said...

K's Tulo!

Booger said...

ONE MORE OUT!!!

Wesley Vento said...

:\

Unknown said...

Remember when Ox made Tulo look like a little leaguer at Dodger Stadium?

He just did it again.

Josh S. said...

*exhales a little bit*

Orel said...

Broxton vs. Helton for all the marbles!

Alex Cora said...

Come on Brox.

Josh S. said...

Oh great...here comes the world's thickest goatee.

Booger said...

Damn, this is a little reminiscent of a few years ago.

Wesley Vento said...

Steiner is too much to take in these spots.

Unknown said...

This situation is WAY to reminiscent of 2007.

Wesley Vento said...

wow

Orel said...

I Hawpe this doesn't end in tears.

karina said...

C-mon Brox, dude, one out

Booger said...

damn!

too many pitches, are they pinching him at the plate?

Alex Cora said...

CRAP CRAP CRAP.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Brad Hawpe to pinch hit.

Base hit probably ties the game.

Let's see what Brox is really made of.

Orel said...

PHEW

Alex Cora said...

Pe - ricken hew

Unknown said...

And now their best hitter is up. Great.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWwww

Booger said...

ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

Orel said...

Thank goodness for groin pulls!

Unknown said...

YAY!!

Josh S. said...

Castro!

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Balok Mode wins it.

Alex Cora said...

That was way too close. But except for our bullpen, was a pretty good game. A sweep of the rockies. Sweet. Go blue!

Fred's Brim said...

cmon Brox, finish this and let's get some deep dish pizza

Booger said...

That was exciting!

back to work now...

Wesley Vento said...

that was a terrible pinch hit AB! How the hell do you swing at the 1st pitch when the pitcher seemingly can't find the plate. That was a gift.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Though I prefer Anna Mode.

Fred's Brim said...

yes Yes YES! thank you Brox!

karina said...

T. Helton, in play (outs)

I really really want Ganeday isn't playing with my heart.

rbnlaw said...

Well that was exciting.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Although Greedo Mode is good, too.

Josh S. said...

Put this one in the "Ugly, but we'll take it" pile.

karina said...

Belly did fine today, as King James and the Beast.

Go Blue! swept series!

NicJ said...

Way to give me an effin' panic attack at work brox.

Steve Sax said...

crazy ending in Baltimore. 8-8 going into extras. Toronto gets two runs in the top of the 11th, and then Nolan Reimold nails a walk-off three-run shot in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game, 12-10. Wow.

Unknown said...

Hong - To be fair to Hawpe, that was a heater in the zone.

Steve Sax said...

Baltimore sweeps the Jays!

Steve Sax said...

Okay, I gotta close this bar for an hour and clean up a bit. See you guys in about an hour for the Lakers GT.

Wesley Vento said...

I was listening, so I just imagine the situation. I'm not sure if Hawpe is a good 1st pitch hitter, or if he was looking for a pitch in there to drive right away. It just seems that in this kind of late-game situation one would exercise patience.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Alright, back to work.

See y'all later.

Orel said...

Post-Game Thread up!

Colorado Rockies should be always competitive enough to keep pace with the others. I really like them; they’ve always been my favourite teams in MLB. Just read about them here: http://www.rockieshome.com
