DODGERS' RECORD WITHOUT MANNY: 27-20
Randy Wolf (3-3, 3.64) vs. Ubaldo Jimenez (6-7, 3.83).
COMMENTS:
Greetings, Dodger fans.
Remember me? I was top dog in the Dodger dugout four years ago, but Paul DePo basically gave me the heave-ho. I know he's history, but that whole situation still chaps my buns. Managing the Pirates was no cakewalk either, but now I'm back in the NL West, baby! And we're hotter than Satan's BBQ. We've won 20 of our last 23. You've lost four of your last five. Mo's on our side! Oh, and we miss Manny by one day. Jim Tracy's revenge on the Dodgers was a long time coming, but it'll be sweet. Enjoy eating our oysters!
Sincerely,
Jim Tracy

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 794 Newer› Newest»Mr LA SF, I have to say I am starting to laugh at your missed hundreds. They're getting funnier and funnier...
Orel: "Why is 80s music so popular?"
Why does the sun rise in the east?
Amen.
One Drop one into the short porch.
Sax - I'm glad my misery brings you so much joy.
Vin's talking about a walkoff win, which means it isn't going to happen. Oh, well, I could use extras.
please dont pull it to third or short.
If another major celebrity dies, we could beat 763 posts.
Mr LA SF, it's not personal, it's just funny to see the subsequent "DAMMIT". You're a good sport...
So far, they're just tossing balls to Russ. Maybe they want the ever-exciting walk-off-walk.
If Rincon walks Russ, do we finally see Mitch Jones?
so close
billy mays died.
Uff, my heart stopped beating...
Billy Mays counts for nothing?
I'm crying on the inside and outside.
Orel: "If another major celebrity dies, we could beat 763 posts."
I'm on the case! Let me go get my ski mask and knife.
Yes, I love MLASF's DAMMITs.
If Russ walks, the smart person puts in A.J. Ellis to take a WOW. Joe Torre isn't that smart.
well, this is not looking good. 55 Ks.
jiminy christmas that was nowhere near the plate
Well, Martin killed any thoughts of a WOW.
WHAT?!
KMart.
Why, Russ? he wasn't even throwing strikes...
Billy Mays? No. Willie Mays? Maybe.
Note to Joe Torre - BRAD AUSMUS IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN A GOOD HITTER.
Maybe he'll be Brad Awesomest.
Ausmus couldn't catch up to an 87-mph fastball?
I blame Kemp and Martin for this, not Torre.
Karina - Actually, the pitch Russ fouled off was clearly a strike and the one he swung on and missed was borderline. I would bet he was trying to foul it off and missed.
extras
sheeeit
two catcher, two K's
Vin, please stop talking about walk off wins.
The Dodgers: Best in the biz at making bad pitchers look like Cy Young winners.
"Billy Mays? No. Willie Mays? Maybe."
The only problem Willie Mays had as a baseball player was that he played for the Giants.
Orel - It was a slider. Still, absolute meatball.
He couldn't catch up to at 93 MPH heater.
Okay, now that this is going to extras, we're going to 800 comments.
Who wants to bet Torre now uses Mota in a high leverage situation? That is not a good thing.
this is making my hand hurt worse
Thanks, Alireza. Pitch recognition is not my strong suit.
I can't believe that Honda salesman getting a javelin in the leg got by the censors.
weaver. sigh.
Weaver huh? That was a curveball. I actually like this move.
It's Weaver, not Mota.
Hey, Weaver threw two innings of scoreless ball in Chicago.
Rin-khan
The comments are piling up like missed opportunities.
Hey, it's the guy who should be a starter, closing again.
I'd rather have Weaver than Mota. I still don't trust in Mota.
Mota has only been good in low leverage situations. This is definitely not that. Also, Weaver can easily go 3 if needed.
Jeff Weaver = Chan Ho Park.
Ho-Lee-Shit. The Ump royally f'ed that one up.
That third pitch was well in the strike zone.
It's weird when Weaver throws that sidearm and falls to his right.
Dammit.
what the hell was that kemp?!
Now that was a meatball. Error on Kemp?
Nice impression of Fowler by Kemp.
Okay, so here's Colorado with a leadoff double.
Why do I think that they will score, where Ethier could not?
when did pitchers stop keeping charts the day before they are meant to start? when teams discovered Excel?
crap
What should have been a 3 pitch AB is now a hit. Thanks idiot ump.
Any reason our center fielder wasn't in center field?
The ball bounced off a set of keys dropped by a fan during the Father Day's catch.
Sax, because you are a Dodger fan. i feel the same way
They scored it a double. That said, Weaver struck out Spilborghs and the ump screwed the pooch.
Eye-a-net-a can't bunt for nothing.
2 missed bunt strikes? Iannetta must think he is a Dodger.
Oh crap.
Great.
shit
balls
Weaver is getting shelled.
Meanwhile, Spilborghs doesn't run home from second on a single to Pierre. Foolish man.
This is a game of what shoulda been.
Single to the left. For a minute i thought a run was scored.
Carlos Gonzalez is a very dangerous hitter...
Another Maracaibo boy!
Oh goodness. That bullshit ball is haunting us.
Forgive me for bowing out early, but I've got a sleeping wife on the couch I need to put to bed. I'm going to shit this off and pray for the best.
This is not going to end well.
even the right field ballboy can't make plays in the field tonight
Uh, shut this off. Heh.
cmon Jeff - finish these bums off!
Maracaibo boy, greatest Aguilas del Zulia star right now...
The ballgame, I mean. Not Josh's wife.
wow, weaver actually Kd somebody
Weaver K's Gonzo. That makes the DP more attractive.
Carlos Gonzales struck out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weaver owned Gonzalez there. The problem I have now is that I doubt Fowler will GIDP.
Please don't defecate on your wife, Josh S. I've seen Team America. It's not pretty.
Fowler bunted? I'm confused.
See? Gonzalez won't break my heart tonight
Okay, I apologize for the gross humor. Let me pull this out of the gutter.
A pop-fly bunt would be cool here.
Crafty. Fowler going for the squeeze.
Fowler falls behind 2-0.
0-2 on everybody so far?
"Crafty. Fowler going for the squeeze."
I thought that was Josh.
Ok so I screwed up. It's 0-2.
And #500 goes unclaimed.
FB - Yes. He actually went 0-3 on Spilborghs and it was called a ball.
Yes, I am going to keep harping on that till Weaver is out of the inning.
There goes the DP.
there goes the DP
#500 goes unclaimed. Full count, when Weaver was 0-2.
No more DP.
Ah, guys? While you're letting Fowler work out of a 0-2 count and Ianetta steal second, we're supposed to be trying to win a game here
YES.
Fowler gets K'd.
Even Torre is clapping!
Really? They didn't hold the damn catcher on in a DP situation? What in the hell?
At least we got that K, 70mph breaking ball.
Barmes falls behind 0-2.
Sax - It was a 78 MPH Slider.
do or die time.
All Barmes needs is a hit to deflate us completely
Weaver K's Barmes!
NAILS!
wow, alright now im a BeWeaver.
Jeff liked that!
Now lets get him a win!
Absolutely beautiful pitching by Weaver.
Wow, WAY TO GO WEAVER! Jeff lets out a cheer.
Now Vin, you didn't mention how Weaver could wiggle his way out of this, and he did just that. What have we learned here???
He looked more like Jered than Jeff there.
Ali, thanks for the correction on the mph...
Juan to lead off. Anyone counting on a WOH from JP?
Nice, Nic.
Gob music!
Yay. Embree can help Furcal or O-Dog get back on track.
"Juan to lead off. Anyone counting on a WOH from JP?"
That reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Krusty put money on the Washington Generals to beat the Harlem Globetrotters. "They were due!"
"The Final Countdown"? Really?
Steinberg, you have got to get a real DJ at the Stadium.
How about a walk off inside the park job?
I like "The Final Countdown" here.
Beast Mode! The pinball bounce holds him to a single.
BEAST mode!
woo, how was that not a double though. damn wall.
"He's spinning the ball on his finger! Just take it!"
Furcal really needs to make up that awful pop bunt out.
now thats a good bunt.
I have to say, this 4-for-5 night by JP is pretty damn impressive.
Too bad the bum ricochet holds him to a single, but hopefully he can resolve that.
Hey, Raffy gets down a decent bunt! Imagine that!
Furcal gets the bunt down he should have gotten in the ninth inning.
Nice bunt for Raffy.
that episode was on just a few nights ago.
"He's spinning the ball on his finger! Just take it!"
I'm laughing just thinking about it!
That was a tough bunt too. 94 MPH fastball up. Totally ripe for a pop up.
"You have brought joy to this old, Italian stereotype."
I'm waiting to hear Vin say, "And there goes Pierre!"
O-Dog's BA is under .300 and his OPS is under .800. He needs to crack one here.
Not to interrupt the game, but pop quiz.
Hot or not: Anna Paquin. Thoughts?
Apodaca?
THERE GOES JUAN!
Bingo!
they just let him go?
Orel, GREAT call. Pierre indeed reaches third, not even a throw.
"Hot or not: Anna Paquin. Thoughts?"
Eh, maybe sometimes. But generally not.
3-0. Hmm, if they walk Hudson, they set up a DP for Beard.
Lets see a WOWP here.
"Bingo!"
i thought this was a dodger game, not a clippers.
She's hot!
3-1 to O-Dog, JP at third
Okay, now I'm listening for: "And Pierre steals home!"
She's like that two-face chick from Seinfeld. In the right light she is.
Absolute meatball, but O-Chien was taking all the way.
oh come on.
Damn that Tulo. Can't hit, but really can field.
"She's hot!"
Go on.
Man with big head obscures almost all of first base on the replay
Orlando really needs a day off.
His Beardness (® Orel) could drive in the winning run.
Iannetta is thinking, "Why won't the manager move his hand from my lower back?"
If Blake gets a hit, that will really sell the new beards.
Sax - Tulo has been hitting much better of late. 1.069 OPS in June.
Andre, they are mocking you
Andre is salivating.
lets have a WP on an intent ball!
I'd wish i could say more, but i can't think of anything.
They IBB Beard to get to Andre.
I think Anna Paquin is hot. Maybe it's because she plays Rogue in the X-Men movies. But I'm erring on the hot side.
And I don't even watch True Blood.
"If Blake gets a hit, that will really sell the new beards."
The razor lobby thanks the Rockies for the IBB.
Andre's last hit was off a lefty, so lets see another.
dammit, there goes Vin again with the 1-run games at home stat. Now we're destined to go to the 11th
Andre vs. lefties: .190 avg but with 5 HR.
...especially with Andre swinging like that
0-2 count
Oh, come on Ethier.
Andre fouled off a meatball
Just don't go down looking, Andre.
Almost.
damn
Damn.
I wonder what Manny is doing right now.
shoot
can't believe this...
man oh man
we dont deserve this game.
***stop talking about our winning-the-game stats, vin, pleeeeeease***
Embree picked a shitty time to get nasty.
I wonder what'll be our surprise if we get to 800.
Ok Weaver, Podsednick plays for the White Sox, so you should be able to hold on.
599
600
Not going for it.
I cheated, but we needed someone to get a 100 post.
It's BloodSucker-Mode.
pierre should of tried to steal home.
Who's pitching tomorrow? Hope they go deep.
Oh FFS. I know Helton is a lefty, but we are running out of pitchers.
Billingsley
Siddown, Helton!
