So this is how it's going to be? We're just going to let the pitchers do their thing (Hiroki Kuroda: 5.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 3 ER, 2BB, 4 K) and then watch the bats clean the mess up? The Dodgers went apeshit at the plate today, and we're left to wonder how long this league-leading offense can stay this hot. I mean, offense wins championships, right? Oh wait, that's pitching. But offense never sleeps. Or is that rust? Wait, I got it: It's fun to watch the Dodgers beat the tar out of the ball.
- Furcal: 3-for-5, 4 RBIs
- Kemp: 1-for-3, 2 RBIs, 4 R, HR (his 7th; on pace for, like, 800)
- Ethier: 3-for-5, 2 RBIs, HR
- Manny: 3-for-4, 2 RBIs
- Loney: 3-for-6, 2 RBIs
- Martin: 2-for-5, 2 R
The most gratifying part of this offensive explosion is watching Matt Kemp develop into the superstud we always knew he could be. The Fox Sports West (or Prime Ticket, or whatever they're calling it this week) broadcast showed a graphic for where Kemp has hit his home runs this season:
2009: 11L - 13C - 2R
2010: 1L - 3C - 3R
Don't know if he worked on going the opposite way this season, but whatever he did, it's working. (Insert Rihanna joke here.) And Manny seems to be settling nicely into his RBI-guy role. Now, about that pitching....
Oh, and GO KINGS!

Nice save!
DAMMIT TO HELL
Kings sloppiness catches up with them.
OH YEAH BABY!!!!!
TIED UP, BITCHES!!!
why cant they just run their offense like that?
Play to win, not to not lose.
Between the Olympics and this playoff series, I don't think I've ever watched so much hockey. What's wrong with me?
You have fallen into the NHL's trap, Orel. Let the pros play in Vancouver so that everyone gets hooked come playoff time!
BWAHAHAHAHAH!
you gotta be kidding me.
ive seen too much offense for one day
So close
Empty net time.
empty net
They looked like they were beating up Sedin.
how do you give up three goals in the final period?
could of used a fight before we gave up the four goals maybe.
Great. Now the series goes back to Vancouver.
Won there before, we can win there again.
haha, man the angels lost that game i went to today? welcome back fuentes.
If you guys are in the mission district and beer drinkers check out the monk's kettle; the Bart will lead the way.
Oh and I say damn our offense is good!
Just finished watching.
How in ever loving fuck did the umps overturn that Ethier catch/non-catch call? I've never seen anything like that in baseball.
Missed the GT. I will not be talked into avoiding the live game again tomorrow. I feel like I lost a little piece of myself by not being around. :-(
Just saw the broxton bobblehead. Cool, but not fat enough.
Dusty
to wrap up the puns do you feel like the missing link?
@Paul, I can't believe you're still slinging the baboon and monkey puns, with good quality. You're still in your primate hours after first pitch.
@MLASF - sorry about the loss. it was a tough day for the good guys, hockey-wise :/
