Game 19 result: METS 4, DODGERS 0
Game 20 matchup: Charlie Haeger (0-2, 6.46) vs. Oliver Perez (0-2, 3.71) (Gameday).
There was a time when the Dodgers' offense was ridiculously potent. But the Dodgers got sleepy in Washington, being shutout Sunday 1-0 and then following up with an inspiring 4-0 loss in New York. This, after the team got an extra day off yesterday due to rain; one would think that they had plenty of time to rest up while visiting New York City, right? Or maybe the young Dodgers did all their scoring elsewhere last night?
Let's hope the shower and the long half-hour rest between games pays off. Wait, that second game is already on!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 347 of 347i remember seeing this same situation in the last game and it didnt go so well.
Is anyone else worried about overworking Troncoso's arm so early into the season?
really missed loney on that DP attempt.
That was close to being just bases loaded, nobody out.
Karina, you can pencil Tron in for a DL stint. He is the workhorse in the pen till someone else can get outs unfortunately.
Nice hop from Chinface.
i <3 Blake! That was a hot move!
If they score another run my fist is going through a wall.
almost wiggled off the hook.
"David Wright has just killed the Mets over the years."--Charley Steiner
Now I know why we don't play doubleheaders. Charley can't last that long.
Nic j, that was exactly what i was thinking.
Anyway, after back to back walks with no outs, this inning turned out very well.
@NicJ 6.30p: Troncoso may want to go to the DL just to hang out with the A team again
well until then.
SHIT
Now TWO fists are going through a wall. We're screwed.
6-3 Mets, just like that.
We're done.
I dont like ike.
Four eyes warming up? great.
Aw, bollocks!
That's why we can't have nice things.
SD up 4-1 in the seventh and looking for more dead fish
Col up 7-1 on AZ in the third
SF sucks but they're scoreless with the Phils.
Hi everyone, btw.
Never ever ever give Tron inherited runners.
Hi, Mr C
Gameday just played with my feelings :(
The good news is if we score, we score three runs. 'Cause that's how this game is working.
@Steve Sax 6:36 that was Mustang quality.
Epale Mr. C!
@karina: Mustang quality?
Blake DeWitt is batting .245 and we have to play him anyway since everyone else is injured
@Steve Sax did you forget about the awesome Mustang story you wrote a couple of seasons ago?
at least we are getting this road series loss out of the way quickly.
Hi Mr. C.
so, is it time to talk Lakers yet?
the good news: we don't have the worst ERA in the NL. We're 11th, ahead of AZ, WAS, MIL, CIN, and PIT.
the bad news: we've already dropped series to three of those five teams.
yay
mmmm, like in 40 minutes.
@karina: Ah yes, the mustang.
Alas, at this stage we're up on cinder blocks in the driveway of a crackhouse
Epale Karina! Nice to see you back where you belong.
Henry Blanco=Dodgers killer?
Dodger pitching = horrible
well at least Link got the pitcher, oktorok, out.
revenge for being let go back in ... 98????
We're screwed. And Collins needs to use his indoor voice.
9-0 colorado in the third, and they're still rolling
Kemp's arm has degenerated to the point where he can even throw out an old catcher on a 1st to 3rd.
@Mr LA SF: That is his indoor voice.
Do you think they've let Collins off of house arrest? I doubt it.
mets are runnin' wild on the dodgers.
Do you know what's Blanco's nickname for fans here? Henry "no le pego un hit a nadie" Blanco which means he cpuldn't even hit water if he fell out of a boat.
at least the Cavs are losing
Whats up with the Mets and the cheap belts? I thought this was the big leagues?
If Eric Collins and Gus Johnson ever met, the fabric of space and time would very well shatter.
haha karina.
Then the Dodgers = the pacific ocean tonight.
cavs are losing? that cheers me up.
I'm certainly not missing Link.
Why don't we stop saying Dodgers pitching is horrible and we say what almost every sports announcer say in April: most pitchers are not up to their game because it's too early in the season.
Idealism over pesimisism.
Breezy is a litter bug.
sports journalism is so bad that I groan when I even see an athlete has an easily punned name
Hahahaha Nic j. We could add a couple of seas there too!
Bases Loaded. This is not good
Sherrill's in to clean up this mess? He couldn't clean up the Mayo Clinic with a dust buster.
Link is missing.
But I'm not missing Link!
Where is that damn rain? mercy please.
That was crappy on both ends.
f'ing a, Mr LA SF is 3 minutes ahead of me
In spite he can't hit, Blanco could run for president. He's popular because he always plays winter baseball, used to play for our Yankees team and we can't deny he's a great defensive catcher (though he shouldn't run for his life, he'd fail to stay alive)
Our streak of errorless games is over at one.
tell me what happens to Reyes in this at bat, Mr. LA SF from the future
Reyes grounds one to Carroll, bad throw to Ellis at home, and everybody's safe.
someone please tell me what happened there as gameday sucks again
shit you're anticipating my questions now, mr la sf
Bay leaves, but the mets are still spicy with only two away.
bases clear
@MrLASF why can't you forecast a double play?
Fist, meet wall. Wall, fist. Fist, wall.
Sherrill, please don't walk Wright.
kemp missed two cutoff men on that throw.
bases-clearing triple
10-3 NY.
Bring on the lakers.
I'd wish he walked Wright.
well he didnt walk him karina.
Someone go up to the booth, find Collins, and take him far away from the Dodgers once and for all.
oh come on, that was a strike three pitch when loney was up.
what did Collins say?
I trust in Dodgers offense.
I cannot remember the last time our pitchers have been this bad. It must be a bad dream.
Link ERA: 11.57
Sherrill ERA: 7.04
Haeger ERA: 7.45
We need a little redemption from the Lakers
@karina: nothing in particular, but he's still continuing to jinx the dodgers
I have officially nicknamed the bullpen "The Nightmare"
I think I'll use it for the lakers bench also.
@Mr Customer i don't know if i belong but i certainly love to be here.
Someone: the Lakers are doing so-so, but last game was awful, however they are not as disappointing as the Dodgers. Right or wrong?
man bulls just got screwed on a continuation call.
i think everyone in LA expects more out of the Lakers, Karina.
Plus the dodgers season is still in its infancy.
Kurt Rambis on lakers live. nice to see him again.
@Nic J thanks.
One run, they have two innings to win this game.
Monasterios, my second favorite Venezuelan.
@Sax - You should have used an image of a plane plummeting into the ground at the top of this game thread. It would have been a much more appropriate image for today.
@Nic j who's your first?
By the way, Monasterios deserves way much more trust from Torre and Honeycutt
I must say, Jenrry may be my all time favorite personalized spelling of a common name, narrowly edging out Maquez for Max.
Karina. haha.
I think he is earning more trust. He hasnt had too many blowups this year. Considering what the rest of the bullpen has done he is technically one of our top relievers.
Henry Blanco is Monaterios' catcher in winter baseball.
By the way, Belisario was traded and now is teammate of Monasterios and Blanco.
MONASTERIOS IS THE FUTURE OF THIS ORGANIZATION
Fisher PG
Bryant SG
Artest SF
Gasol PF
Bynum C
@Karina, why was he traded? did he have visa issues and had trouble getting back into Venezuela?
@MrLASP - Looks like Monasteris is the present of this organization, too.
Charley and Rick really crack each other up.
@nic j awwwwwww. Congrats, i'm blushing.
@MrLASF you really like Monasterios.
@Nic J it seems he was traded because he was very problematic with the team he played last winter. I didn't know that and somehow i find that info intriguing and sort of explanatory of his tardiness for Spring Training.
He was traded for Maicer Izturiz and a couple of prospects.
Steiner has a mancrush on anyone with bare forearms
@Steve Sax at least they have each other because for what you and everyone else say no one finds them amusing.
Steiner has a crush on anyone who can make him giggle.
This is just sad
I hope Lebron sprains an ankle during his celebratory postgame Running man.
Stay on target, Monny.
KKarlos!
Well, Monny looked good. At least there's a part of this game that's respectable.
They did scored a whole three runs on the same inning. That's improvement.
what the hell bowa? holding XP up at third? ReallY?!
NOW we get a sac fly.
damn Mets errors. just end it already.
Man it feels nice to get a call again. jump ball
Now that the masochist suffering is over, let's get a Laker thread up, ASAP.
thunder not sure what to do when they arent getting foul calls.
Great start. Really using that size advantage everyone talks about.
finally we see westbrook knocked on his ass. maybe it will slow him down a bit.
So nice to see a LA team playing well
Hustle, baby.
Good night everyone!
good luck to the Lakers!
Karina!
Did you ever pick a bad day to reappear. This team could use some optimism. Dusty and I haven't been Misters Brighside and Silver Lining.
We have gone from suck to shit.
Mavs are killing the Spurs. Looks like Mark Cuban still has a reason to live...for now.
At least these Lakers are showing some fight!
lakers still not getting to the line.
Lakers win 2nd Q, and take a big 21-point lead.
The Dodgers are the Rockies of last year!!!!
Oh maybe not.
I didn't watch much of today's carnage but I am still sick about it. Doesn't seem like they have been on the road for a month?
I do not understand the commercial with the death reaper that turns out to be a hot babe giving away tobacco samples.
I have never been at a sporting event where I've seen any hot band giving away free cigarettes. Have I missed these women all these years? How could that be?
@Paul 9:05p: I hope you don't mean Jim Tracy is coming back to manage the Dodgers.
Lakers making the darkness that was the Dodgers go away
The pic of Ely on the Dodgers main page is quite hilarious. He doesn't even have a hat!
Yeah i saw that josh, like they just took a pic of him off the plane.
Chickie Baby can put this one in the fridge.
Man the next series is a 4 gamer at home against the pirates.
They have to get healthy then right??!
You know you're winning big when Ammo's getting into a fight.
That was an old-fashioned asswupping!
Now we just go into OKC and silence the Thunder.
It was worse than it looked on TV. Colder, windier, worser, weaker, slower. The highlight, by far, was getting to meet SOSG poster koufax
Saxy, I didn't have the modern technology required to send a pic from the game, or to read the gamethread and see that a pic was requested. I am supposed to meet up with koufax again today - maybe he can send a pic of us crying in our beers
Who the fuck is John Ely???
The losing pitcher in today's Dodgers-Mets finale?
