Game 89 Thread: July 16 vs. Astros, 7p

Randy Wolf (4-3, 3.45) vs. Wandy Rodriguez (8-6, 2.96).

COMMENTS:

Hooray for Mannywood
He's tanned and rested and it's understood
He can start his season a little later if he hits taters
And a double or two
And Chavez Ravine will be the quite the scene
The stadium will be psyched; how about you?

Welcome to Mannywood
Where Manny can be Manny and not be booed
Where if you just spend ninety-nine dollars you'll get a chance to holler
At Man-Ram in the field
And you get a T-shirt which is one of the features
Of this special deal

Welcome back, Mannywood
He would have been back sooner if he could
But as you know he did the crime so he did the time
And now he's feeling just fine
He hasn't got started, that's what the best part is
So welcome back, number ninety-nine

Hooray for Mannywood...

SoSG Delino DeShields is working the press box tonight, so stay tuned for updates!

Two on, no out!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Now things are cooking.

Orel said...

Beast Mode is up!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

A great ovation for Pierre.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

BEAST!!!! (The response Pierre just got was DEAFENING.)

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

I saw this batter shirtless tonight. He's got arms like Popeye. who knew.

Orel said...

I dislike the whole sticking-your-butt-out-so-maybe-the-ump-will-think-the-ball-was-inside thing.

Orel said...

It's surprising how ripped Pierre is.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

U.G.L.Y

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Well that didn't work.

Unknown said...

That pitch was the beast

Orel said...

I can feel it slipping away....

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

(the swing was ugly, not the shirtlessness)

Unknown said...

This ump has a big zone, but at least he has been consistent

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That breaking ball is really fooling a lot of people.

Orel said...

I never figured out how to spit through your teeth like that.

Unknown said...

Furcal did well to foul that off. The bottom was dropping out.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This is so frustrating. At least Ethier can't GIDP

NicJ said...

Why do we have such problems with Houston this year.

Orel said...

Arias just shut us down.

Orel said...

Houston owns the NL West this year.

Unknown said...

Ethier's BABIP must be down to .250 at this point.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Press or not...

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

There's no place like home
With your family around you you're never alone
When ya know that your loved
You don't need to roam
Cause there's no place like home

Time's are changing everyday
We won't get by with the same old ways
No-oooo pulling together will make it right
With help from are friends I know we can right

Cause there's no place like home
With your family around you you're never alone
When you know that your loved
You don't need to roam
Cause there ain't no place like
Better believe it
I said their no place like home
"I mean no place child" .

Steve Sax said...

What is eating Andre ethier?

Orel said...

Gilbert Grape?

Kyle Baker said...

I waited since Sunday to watch this fucking tripe? Dammit, guys. You know they're throwing a lot of breaking balls - adjust!

*Turning off TV*

^ Not true ^

Kyle Baker said...

Something clearly eating Ethier.

Overall,what is with the lack of energy in the Yard tonight? At least, that's what it seems like on the telly. Even with Manny is Baaaaack Part II, it seems very subdued.

Unknown said...

ARGH.

I know Lee loves a lefty, but damn Joe.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Look for my EXCLUSIVE Ethier interview. Meaning I eavesdropped when he did a plug for Japan Day or something.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Enjoying rally hot dog.

Unknown said...

Don't throw him fastballs Claudio.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Nice grab by Furcal

Unknown said...

Whew.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Don't Stop Believing. It's no Rick Astley - but it still does the job. (And the version from Glee's not half bad) I also smell of wine and cheap perfume.

Orel said...

I liked Glee!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Only when the Dodgers are being shutout do we talk about FOX shows and free Dodger Dogs.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

I kinda loved Glee.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Sports Fan - free hot dogs would come up in any game. It's cause to celebrate (almost as much as that single!)

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Manny-single

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

There is to be no cheering for hits, walks, or errors until a run actually scores.

NicJ said...

Erstad still looks salty after all these years.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

If only the Astros could accept reality, this kid could be a nice pickup.

Unknown said...

I like LaTroy Hawkins. Always have. Too bad he needs to get raked against tonight.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Damn DP's.

Unknown said...

Oh for frack's sake.

Orel said...

It's DP Night!

Unknown said...

Tejada never touched the damn bag. I wish the umps would call that once in a while.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

At least we knocked out Berkman.

NicJ said...

Kemp looks grouchy.

Unknown said...

Well, we need to get it done with Valverde.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

He's still adjusting to the lights and sounds, I guess.

Josh S. said...

*applauds Delino's 227 comment*

Orel said...

Don't encourage the Delino!

Josh S. said...

But it was amusing!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Damn Pence

Orel said...

This game is craptacular.

Orel said...

Nice heads-up play by Martin.

Unknown said...

Give Russ his Gold Glove back Yadier.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

With Pence and Matsui, I'm surprised it was as close as it was.

Josh S. said...

Tonight was the "Comeback Kids" poster giveaway, right? Maybe the crappy offense is some sort of marketing tie-in.

Orel said...

Elbert sighting.

Josh S. said...

Scott Elbert sighting!

Josh S. said...

Echo!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Still not enough jerky.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

IF we get to 300, I promise not to quote "SPARTA"

Unknown said...

Why not just use everyone Joe?

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

This game went from a hare's pace to a tortoise.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I didn't realize "300" quotes were standard in 300 PGT's.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

A pirouette!

Orel said...

Elbert should have just rolled the ball to Loney.

Unknown said...

James Loney just saved Elbert's ass. That was lazier than Barry Bonds on a grounder.

Josh S. said...

Scott Elbama.

Unknown said...

I have no problem with raking against Jose Valverde. No problem at all.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Stadium's looking pretty empty.

Orel said...

I've got the Post-Game Thread all written up and ready to go. If that doesn't break the slump, I don't know what will.

Orel said...

Darin Erstad out-grits us!

Unknown said...

I swear, Erstad must be an albino.

Orel said...

26-out rally!

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Loretta wasn't looking too sharp in BP. Let's hope he stored up.

Josh S. said...

Oh, don't tease us, O-Dog.

Orel said...

Okay Loretta, let's see your warning-track power.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

And Loretta ends it.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Yep yep yep yep...

Josh S. said...

27-out rally!

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

3:06

Josh S. said...

Randy got a decision!

Steve Sax said...

We suck. Since the asg we can't seem to win a game or score a run!

Orel said...

Out of our misery. PGT up.

Nostradamus said...

That was really unsatisfying
