Game 124 Thread: August 22 vs. Cubbies, 1p

Charlie Haeger (0-1, 3.86) vs. Ted Lilly (9-7, 3.42).

COMMENTS: So what is the truth about Dodgers starter Charlie Haeger, the recently-promoted pitcher who pitched admirably in his first start this season, last week against the Cardinals? Well, he doesn't consult any statistics about the opposing batters. He throws an unpredictable knuckleball to which only Rick Ankiel and Albert Pujols caught up in his last game through 7IP (which unfortunately earned him the loss). And Thandie Newton is pretty cute. But I'm going to stop this charade of a Game Thread and leave it up to ol' Charlie to bring the Dodgers a third straight win this afternoon at the Ravine.

Again, two GT superstitions in play.

cubs have been awful offensively, but they've had good pitching all season long. (5th best team ERA in MLB)

so yeah we're still struggling and are relying too much on the big HR it seems, but as long as we're winning it's ok

46 runs scored in just 2 games of that series. Jesus is right!

karina said...

@Mr LASF rookie because tomorrow is a day of firsts, right?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@Karina - I get it. Thanks for clarifying.

Does anyone know what's going on with the media game? Is it open to the public, or what?

Woo, the California team in the LLWS looks unstoppable. Like half the kids on the team look like they are way to big to be 13 and under.

Post-game thread is up, btw.

Let ol' grandpa rbn remind youse youngsters of what he said at the beginning of the series:
The Cubbies love us and want us to sweep them. That is obviously.

I also brashly predict the Gnats and Rox will split their series, thus adding to their frustration and mutual meltdowns. When neither qualifies for the post-season, we will gladly open the play-offs against the . . .

Cubbies!!!!
