Game 141 Thread: 9/9/09 at D'backs, 7p

Jon Garland (9-11, 4.23) vs. Dan Haren (13-8, 2.78).
Dodgers' Magic Number: 20

COMMENTS: Garland returns to the mound in his second start as a Dodger, after beating his former team Thursday in what many said was an outstanding Dodger debut (7.0IP, 5H, 2ER, W). A star is born, perhaps? We'll see if the Garland touch extends to his second outing, and if he's got more fastballs in his summer stock to deliver, as he faces the Diamondbacks' ace, Dan Haren.

I could go on singing about how awesome it would be for Garland to win, the Rockies to lose, and the NL West lead open back up to 4.5 games before tomorrow's off-day, but I'll stop here. I don't want to be a clown.

The worst pitcher in the leagues best bullpen ain't that bad. Like I have said before if you go into the late innings of games tied or with a small lead your pen is gonna give up a lead at the very least once and a while. Scoring a few more runs would have helped. With that being said we went up against Haren so I'll give the offense a pass.

We still aren't able to beat ace pitchers though.
