Game 160 Thread: Oct. 2 vs. Brockies, 7p

Randy Wolf (11-6, 3.22) vs. Ubaldo Jimenez (14-12, 3.52).

Hello, this is Kent Brockman. In sports news, the Dodgers are ending their season with a meaningless series against Colorado, since the Dodgers long ago clinched the division —

one moment, I'm getting a note from our producers —

What? You've got to be kidding. They lost three of four to the Pirates? And got swept by the Padres? What the hell is wrong with these ****ers? No, I won't watch my language. I don't care if we're still on the air —

Looked like o dog was giving manny a pep talk after that last k.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@Mr. C - Yep

NicJ said...

Rockies not warming anyone in the pen.

Fred's Brim said...

Tronny, where's the beard?

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Boos for manny. Damnnnnnnn

Steve Dittmore said...

RISP tonight 0-5
RISP since win @ PIT 2-26 (including tonight)

karina said...

How many pitchers can say they struck out Manny Ramirez three times in a game?

Most wouldn't include Ubaldo Jimenez in that list.

Nostradamus said...

@sd

Yipes!

Fred's Brim said...

wow on the crappy mlb.tv reception, i thought that was a double

NicJ said...

Manny doesn't hit
ubaldo well ever he is like 1-12

Kyle Baker said...

Tweet from JoshS:

"Dodger Stadium PA played Yackity Sax after Manny struck out. Fitting."

Fred's Brim said...

Tronny, cut the shit!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

And that is why you don't walk the opposing pitcher.

(arm falls off)

Fred's Brim said...

we've only hit one home run in the last week, and that was the semi-meaningless homer from Belli2 against the clincher vs the Pirates on Saturday

Fred's Brim said...

that was strike three! dammit

Nostradamus said...

*whew*

Kyle Baker said...

We're playing with brann here.

Nostradamus said...

@fb

The collective exhale, apparently.

Nostradamus said...

@dusty

Too much brann and you'll get the home run trots.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Let's get some runs now. Maybe a couple of hits too while were at it.

Kyle Baker said...

Well, is it "phew" or "whew" guys?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Matt's on the .300 fence. He needs to get a hit.

Steve Dittmore said...

Got a feeling about this inning. Baseball cliches follow...

Jimenez is getting up there in pitches (97)
Third time through the order
Jimenez is tired from running the bases

Nostradamus said...

@db

regional dialect.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

They just played a back in black / we will rock you mash up. Our own sax introduced me to mashups. It all comes full circle.

Kyle Baker said...

Come on, Matty!

Fred's Brim said...

a little of both? do we have to choose?

Fred's Brim said...

take the walk!

Fred's Brim said...

robbed!!

Steve Dittmore said...

MLB Network replayed Finley's walk-off Grand Slam... 5 years ago today

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Oh jeez.

Nostradamus said...

Ball 4, Matty.

karina said...

I saw SAFE, what did you see?

easy, Bison.We need you

Fred's Brim said...

Joe, tell him he's got some crud on his lip

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

I missed post 227 by 2.
And kemp is equally as pissed.

Kyle Baker said...

SAFE! According to the replay.

Fred's Brim said...

this is where James doubles with the ghost runner on 1st

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This inning went nowhere fast.

karina said...

From Uncle Owen's "twitter"

"I understand retired Stormtroopers become sport referees #JobsWithBadEyeSight"

Nostradamus said...

Open the blast doors! Open the blast doors!

Fred's Brim said...

sheeeeit

PenosCabell said...

OY VEY.

I don't know how much more of this I can take.

Nostradamus said...

lotta whiffs out there.

Fred's Brim said...

stay with us Penos! it'll be worth it!

NicJ said...

10 K's in 6 innings. Unreal.

Kyle Baker said...

When was the last fun game we had? Fun to watch, fun to win, great plays, confident pitching, offense always in charge, etc.? I don't count the random blowout win vs. a bad team. I guess back on that road trip where we beat AZ and COL 2-3 each, maybe?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

ARGH

karina said...

Good pitching and great defense are useless if they don't score runs. Guys, can you give us 2 or 3 runs?

Fred's Brim said...

here's Joe's new favorite...

karina said...

@Mr Customer that was very funny!

Nostradamus said...

@karina

I do what I can.

Lead-off doubles, however, are not.

Fred's Brim said...

what happened? why is Belli in?

Fred's Brim said...

oh - i missed the double

karina said...

I hope Elbert is not on the postseason roster.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That's game.

Kyle Baker said...

BREAKING NEWS FROM JOSH S:

"Ate 5 dogs, a nachos, 3 sodas, and I have an unopened peanuts."

He's in the AYCE section and not paying retail.

Fred's Brim said...

dammitalltohell

chexxum said...

I hate Tulowitzki :(

Nostradamus said...

I think I've seen this episode.

drewdez said...

aaaarrrrrgggghhh

Steve Sax said...

I can't believe we are about to lose our fifth in a row. Talk about no momentum, going into the playoffs.

As the wild card.

Fred's Brim said...

agreed, karina - he's good but he isn't ready

Kyle Baker said...

@ Karina

"I hope Elbert is not on the postseason roster."

Me, too. But at this rate, I actually hope no one is on the postseason roster, except maybe FBR. Or hell, even FB.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I can't remember what winning feels like. Hell, I can't remember what scoring more than one run feels like.

Kyle Baker said...

I seriously can't imagine that tomorrow night's game will actually mean something to me. It was always going to be a victory lap kind of thing, not me on the edge of my seat kind of thing.

Plus it's team calendar night.

Kyle Baker said...

MLASF-

Is this what it feels like when doves cry?

Fred's Brim said...

i remember when we used to get big hits like that. I hope we see that again this season

NicJ said...

And that's the ballgame.

Steve Sax said...

@dustyBaker 9:33p: hey Josh S,is that unopened bag of nuts = a scrotum?

I'm sorry, but this loss, the first I've actually watched in a week, has me very shriveled.

Like a scrotum.

Paul said...

I really am out of curse words guys. I don't know what to say but Guinness milkshake where have you gone?

Fred's Brim said...

DB, my personal policy of not walking pitchers or swinging at ball 4 in the dirt would help us tremendously

Kyle Baker said...

Josh notes that he actually ate TWO nachos, not just the one. Point well taken.

Nostradamus said...

@paul

It's time to get into the multi-lingual cursing.

Try Dutch and German. They've got lots.

Kyle Baker said...

We are dishonoring Tommy tonight.

Fred's Brim said...

i dont know where karina went, but i'll say it on her behalf: this game aint over!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@Dusty - I could just imagine Tommy's post-game rant.

"YOU GUYS MAKE ME SICK."

Steve Sax said...

If we lose,I blame that horrible God Bless America twin set. They would have been awful as a solo artist; as a twin set, it was like double-stereo HELL.

Nostradamus said...

In honor of Lasorda, can we dub this night bevaquesque?

Fred's Brim said...

i bet Josh's pockets are stuffed with jalepenos

karina said...

@Fred's Brim here i am! biting my tongue game is not over, but i'm afraid someone calls me delusional

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Lap still wet. Fans still angry. Hits still absent.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@Delino - You just described Kevin Federline's rap career in nine words.

Paul said...

Every word in German kind of sounds like a curse word. Like Troncoso sounds like a bad word in Spanish. The dodgers are a bunch of troncosos. I know that probably makes sense only in my depressed mind.

Fred's Brim said...

haha MLASF, post of the year!

Fred's Brim said...

Russ!!!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

You know things are bad when Russell Martin's getting the big hits.

PenosCabell said...

Russell....Hell yeah!

Let's get something going!

Kyle Baker said...

Road Loney!

karina said...

See? game is not over!!!!

Nostradamus said...

Whaa!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@FB - I do what I can.

Nostradamus said...

@Paul

"every word in German sounds like a curse word."

Ain't it great?

Fred's Brim said...

take the walk!

chexxum said...

Russ's homer made up for that shitty GBA rendition.


seriously, they could have done a harmony or something, no need for both people to sing the exact same thing.

Nostradamus said...

eyechart! eyechart!

Fred's Brim said...

Mr C, you are such a glockenspiel

Kyle Baker said...

Pls let us clinch this with a HR off Joe Beimel.

Paul said...

If this game isn't over I will drink a king cobra milkshake.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

C'mon, Dougie. Work the walk.

Kyle Baker said...

In German, a lullaby sounds like "Let's invade Poland!"

Nostradamus said...

@fb

Du hast nicht einen sehr unangenehmen Geruch!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Eye-chart works the walk. Perhaps that will be his greatest moment as a Dodger?

Fred's Brim said...

haha the Eyechart Post-Walk batflip*



*patent pending

Kyle Baker said...

Paul said:

"If this game isn't over I will drink a king cobra milkshake."

Nice! *makes cobra sign*

I've had a Colt 45 float before, for the record.

Fred's Brim said...

Mr C, I have no idea what you said, but you, sir, have crossed the line!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This feels like one of those grind-'em-out innings.

Nostradamus said...

@fb

Maginot?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

There goes who? Hu?

Fred's Brim said...

that was ball four

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Raffy keeps things alive!

Kyle Baker said...

Am I going to make a pitching change? you bet.

chexxum said...

FICKEN SIE JA, GEHEN SIE FURCAL!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The robed(?),hand-cutting, lefty-handling, head-bobbling, sideburn-wearing reliever is in now.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

C'mon, you shmucks!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Only Adam Morrison can make the fu-man-chu work.

Steve Sax said...

Joe Beimel.

Great.

GIDP right here.

Paul said...

King Cobra!!!

Nostradamus said...

@chexxum

"Fick du auch, Steiniger!" also accepted.

Fred's Brim said...

keep it going, you schmucks!

chexxum said...

oh man, Tracy's trying for the "most relievers used in an inning" record...again.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Game is riveting. Dodgers fans hate all former dodgers. Beer is settling into pants. And everyone in here wishes manny wakes up.

Steve Sax said...

@mr la sf, your k-fed comment literally rocked me with laughter. Ms. Sax liked it too. Well played.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Time for Manny to earn his paycheck.

Fred's Brim said...

Mr C, I had to look that up, and that's way too French for my liking

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Outfield's deep. A shot to the power-alleys should score Furcal.

Kyle Baker said...

Delino-

If this goes into extra innings, and beer sales are stopped, you can always squeeze out your pants for that last half cup of warm Bud Light.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@Sax - Thanks for the compliment.

Steve Sax said...

@delino, I missed a post, why are your pants wet with beer?

Dodgers, gehen Sie!

Orel said...

Glad to see the stadium on its feet.

Big hack by Manny.

Fred's Brim said...

just a single Manny!

Steve Sax said...

Mr la sf, I'm still laughing. Despite the fact they're still losing and Manny looks lost.

Kyle Baker said...

If Manny would have made contact, the ball would be in my cactus garden.

Fred's Brim said...

wow

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Manny's getting no lee-way with the fans, and rightfully so.

Orel said...

whiff

Kyle Baker said...

Wow, even the rich seats are booing Manny, not just the cholo seats around the edges.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Attention
Golden sombrero fitting in men's wear

Orel said...

DO IT FOR MARY HART

Orel said...

c'mon Bison

Nostradamus said...

@FB

If there's a line being crossed in German, the Maginot is the first that comes to mind.

just sayin'.

Fred's Brim said...

fudge

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

There went that. Dammit, Manny.

Kyle Baker said...

JoshS sayeth (re: Manny):

"You can't spell FUCKKKK without 4 Ks."

Paul said...

So you are telling me there is a chance.

Steve Sax said...

And don't try and placate me with this El Pollo Loco commercial. I'm fucking pissed off goddammit.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

What's so toubling... Manny got the golden sombrero in like 15 pitches

Kyle Baker said...

Manny has 8 Ks in a row now.

K K K K K K K K

Fred's Brim said...

switching to the Johnny Walker

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

You can't spell Manny Ramirez without K.


Wait, yes you can! Then there really is no excuse for this!

Nostradamus said...

@db

Jesus H. Christ! Is there even a name for that?!

Kyle Baker said...

Come on, FBR. Shut 'em down.

Kyle Baker said...

4Ks - golden sombrero
8Ks - golden shower

Nostradamus said...

I hereby dub 8 straight Ks the adamantium sombrero.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Dusty... I'm way ahead of you
This is an awesome game. And agonziing

Fred's Brim said...

Flat Breezy's name is really George Sherrill?

Fred's Brim said...

(i kid)

Kyle Baker said...

FB-

I accidentally called Sherrill by his given name the other day, and Mrs. Dusty asked who he was and when we picked him up. She just went straight to FB/R after we traded for him, I guess, based on my references.

Orel said...

I think Broxton will pitch the 9th no matter what.

Nostradamus said...

fbr dealing.

Fred's Brim said...

hehe Mr C I like that

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The only way Andre's getting another crack at it is if the Dodgers can get a runner without erasing him.

Don't stop believing.

Nostradamus said...

@MLASF

Of course! There has to be a man on for a true walk-off.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

If Manny and Boras opt out during the off-season, my jaw will drop to the floor.

Fred's Brim said...

@DB: it still sound funny to me to say his real name. You may as well be talking about a senator from Indiana in the 60s or the custodian at your elementary school

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@FB - He certainly looks like a janitor with his Youkilis beard.

Nostradamus said...

@fb

Kinda sounds like a shop teacher name to me.

Paul said...

I am taking a shot of something for good luck. Ummmmm I drink my catholic Irish whiskey but take shots of my Protestant Irish whiskey. Bushmills it is.

Orel said...

That pitch was higher than Snoop Dogg.

Nostradamus said...

patience.

Orel said...

Crowd watching with their hearts.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The crowd is trying to will fly-balls into being homers.

Nostradamus said...

SO CLOSE

Kyle Baker said...

Saying Sherrill's real name makes it sound like he's in trouble. Like how my mother would call me by first, middle, and last name, ultra formally, when I was in trouble.

Orel said...

Everybody is swinging through 86-89-mph fastballs. Doesn't seem right.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Beard gets himself a golden sombrero.

Nostradamus said...

blake looks a little rusty.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It rests on Martin to do something this inning.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It's a dead-end with Huston Street.

Paul said...

I got a feeling that the 9th is going to be a good 9th.

Trying to stay positive even if it physically hurts me.

MR.F said...

At the very least, don't admit defeat! We have 3 outs.

Nostradamus said...

yuck

chexxum said...

I also have a good feeling about this 9th, and I'm the least optimistic person ever!

Kyle Baker said...

Smear some soft-serv on the plate so Broxton can find it, JMart.

Steve Sax said...

This is painful.

NicJ said...

Plenty of tulo is a puto chants in the stadium.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Broxton K's the side. Three outs left to score a run.

Nostradamus said...

Ok, kids. Time to get busy.

Paul said...

Hey yo Rockies. I didn't hear no bell. One more at bat.

Kyle Baker said...

This is it. Either you make my attendance painful or relaxed tomorrow.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

O-Dog, Thome, and Raffy

Kyle Baker said...

Let's take Huston Street to Electric Avenue, boys!

Orel said...

Time to hit the Street!

Nostradamus said...

Time to get ill.

Kyle Baker said...

O Dog needs a single, Thome a walkoff and we can all pop the Cold Duck.

Kyle Baker said...

What's that time, Mr. C?

Paul said...

Stay on target o-dog

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Ugh, two outs left.

Steve Sax said...

FWIW, way to go Brox for getting those two key Ks

Kyle Baker said...

If O weren't standing 6 feet off the plate, he might have made contact.

Steve Sax said...

We're not taking it to the Street.
