Game 127 Thread: August 26 @ Rox, 5.30p

Randy Wolf (8-6, 3.34) vs. Josh Fogg (0-1, 2.25).

COMMENTS: Can you say "must-win"? Okay, it's not even September, but suffice it to say if the Dodgers don't win today's game, a great many Dodger fans (including some of our SoSG stalwarts) will be ready to write off our post-season chances. It's time for a statement game, and it's time to set us up for a chance to take this series. To that end, rotation mainstay Wolf puts his hot streak — arm and bat — on the line against reliever-turned-starter Fogg. The Dodgers dodge a bullet in missing the injured Aaron Cook, but it won't mean a thing if they can't knock Fogg around the world in eighty pitches. Let's leave Colorado with the Dodgers still in sole possession of first place!

Andre Ethier owns the baseball.

Vinny is reminding us why we should all love Uncle Milty. Because we got Ethier for him.

Fred's Brim said...

hehe Dre ripped that one

I Alivandi said...

Helton is even laughing.

Fred's Brim said...

Ali that sounds good to me

NicJ said...

nice to see from manny

koufax said...

would love to make them use another pitcher in this game

I Alivandi said...

Tracy might leave Herges out there as the sacrificial lamb.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Note to Torre: Do not use hit-and-run with Blake up.

NicJ said...

we are not really a pour it on kinda team.

I Alivandi said...

MLSF - Well, lets add that it shouldn't be done when Blake is up and Manny is one of the runners.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Eh, whatever works.

I Alivandi said...

Gassed.

I Alivandi said...

Seriously. This guy is just like his dad.

And here comes Bullpen Joe.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Yes, EY just singled in a 6-1 game with one out! Let's all start chanting "Beat LA"!

I'm trying to get into the mindset of the rapid cheering for a one-out single.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

*rabid

Nostradamus said...

As the season drags on, Wolf increasingly resembles Harvey Keitel's character from Pulp Fiction in more than name.

Paul said...

AC

I just noticed the crazy haired lady in the first row. That hair is not right.

karina said...

I take this as Sherrill is all right.

I Alivandi said...

That's right Colorado fans. Watch the Bison trample on your hearts.

Now school Helton Breezy.

I Alivandi said...

A lesser batting eye swings at that pitch.

Paul said...

Breeeeezy for sheeeezy.

Fred's Brim said...

feel that flat breeze!

I Alivandi said...

Huge mental error there. Furcal should have gone the long way.

Fred's Brim said...

yeah that was too close

Paul said...

Yeah Hudson wasn't even expecting it

Fred's Brim said...

he could have gotten Helton out twice if he wanted

Fred's Brim said...

heh take it easy James, not so rough!

Paul said...

Martin this your count.

I Alivandi said...

That was Russell's pitch too.

I Alivandi said...

At least that call was decent.

Fred's Brim said...

cripes

was James going on that? seemed closer at 2nd than it should have been

Paul said...

Loney was out?

Fred's Brim said...

Matt Herges is just toying with us

I Alivandi said...

Pierre still gets a bit of love in Denver.

Fred's Brim said...

February 21st is National Sticky Bun Day

just sayin'

Paul said...

Well the pitching has been great again.

Fred's Brim said...

man I wish we had a power bat off the bench, just for the threat. I wonder if we should have given Mitch Jones some more ABs earlier this season

I Alivandi said...

Why not Mota or something?

Fred's Brim said...

ahh the always iffy non-save save situation

Paul said...

Let's make this easy and leave no doubt tonight. J bro up already.

I Alivandi said...

Ox is bringing the gas again. Looks like the toe is getting better.

NicJ said...

we are just not getting any calls tonight

I Alivandi said...

Wow. That was Tulo's first hit ever against Ox. I think Tulo missed there.

Fred's Brim said...

damn close again

great play tho

Fred's Brim said...

keep slinging strikes, JB

Fred's Brim said...

made to order

NicJ said...

nice! a DP of our own.

Nostradamus said...

That's the right way.

I Alivandi said...

Funny. The guy who can't touch Broxton gets a hit and the guy who owns him dribbles.

Paul said...

DP!!!!

J Bro throwing strikes.

I Alivandi said...

If a Dodger checks like that, it is a strike.

Fred's Brim said...

Cram it with walnuts, Dinger!

I Alivandi said...

101 and a pop up. See ya.

Nostradamus said...

Sweet jesus, I needed that win.

NicJ said...

well, we know we can beat the Rox spot starter.

Paul said...

Huge win!!!

Fred's Brim said...
