The Dodgers made sure Colorado skipper Jim Tracy got a full and complete winter vacation, eliminating the Rockies this evening with a late-game surge of four runs in the final three frames. This doesn't help Hiroki Kuroda's win-loss record; Kuroda goes 6.1 IP with 5 ER 1 BB and 6 Ks; but the late innings allowed James Loney to get his 10th HR of the season (a solo shot in the seventh), and then an opportunistic eighth inning plus Casey Blake's second HR of the evening sealed the victory for the good guys.
With the Rockies out, we can now focus on the NL West-leading Giants, who are beating up on a hapless Diamondbacks squad, 3-2 in the seventh; and the Padres, who are trying to rally from a 4-2 deficit against the pathetic Cubs at Petco Park.

Fresh thread!
Padres had two on and none out in the bottom of the seventh. Nick Headley Ks and Chris Denorfia Ks, so they bring in Yorvit Torrealba to PH, and Torrealba Ks.
Nah, the Padres don't want this pennant at all. What a crushing blow if they cough this one up.
Devirginized!
OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
I gotta go be devious but I'll be back
I miss those old Rangers uniforms with the pure red.
Anyone but the Giants. I share your hate.
It's going to be a sleepless night. Whose going to have a drink with me or entertain me?
That would be me, MB.
Well, the drink part anyway. Whether I'm entertaining or not is subject to booth review.
Padres really don't want this thing.
That Ramona Shelburne truly is one handsome lady
Mr. C, I find you quite entertaining. I'll pour a fresh one for you.
Also Karina re: British vs. American English.
British = pyjama
American = pajama
I learned that from reading the British edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
That's good enough for me. The ruling on the field stands!
Hey, I like Ramona Shelburne!
Mr. C - Just be gentle when we compete in fantasy football. Otherwise I will pull the challenge flag and that ruling will be subject to review ;-)
Cubs just took a 5-2 lead in the eighth.
Giants just added a run to make it 4-2, but the Snakes have a man on second with 1 out in the eighth.
Orel makes an appearance. Welcome!
I shall be on my best(-ish) behaviour, MB.
I'm torn between my raging hatred of Matt Stairs and my raging hatred of the Giants on the last play.
Hi MB, I apologize for being so out of it lately. Been watching too much WNBA, I guess.
Mr. C, always the gentleman. Love it.
Sax, thx for the update. Go Snakes!
Go Braves!!
Orel, there could be worse fates. Glad to have you back with us.
HaHa! Petco"s crowd all yawning and pissed, Love that shit
Why a Dodger fan and not an Astro or Ranger fan MB.
…Other than plain good sense?
@spanky
calling it a "crowd" is generous. it's more of a quorum. and i'm sure more than half are cubs fans.
The Kings game looks like a baseball score.
Mr. C to the rescue.

Dodgers used to have a farm team in SA which is where I grew up. For whatever reason I have always been a Dodger fan. I lived in Dallas for many years and call myself a quasi Rangers fan although they were so bad for many years. Liking The Astro's is unthinkable unless you are from Houston. I've never known them as anything but the Lastro's.
@ em
I didn't want to go there because our crowd does the same shit. HaHa
Well, the misery of Pads fans is worth something.
top of the 9th...come on d-bags! make it a perfect night.
Hedley
frickin padres
You suck, Wilson!
Stupid giants.
Goddamn D-Backs.
a-hole brian wilson and his stupid beard. it doesn't even look intimidating you ass! it just looks weird...like you're gonna rob a bank. leave it to bloody frisco to end my good night on a sour note.
I'm going to walk to the store with the neighborhood dogs and get me another beer.
Ciao Fools
Bye Mi Amor
*sips Laphroiag to even things out*
I hate the top of the NL West so much.
The Pods are clueless and burning out their young arms. The Gnats are just insufferable with their cold weather, Chardonnay, and foix gras.
Let them all fail.
Brian Wilson has beard fit for Castro (district)
Glenfiddich 15 w/ice here
...or should I say, on the Rox
16 year old Glenlivet Nadurra here.
Mathematically, the Giants and Padres could end the season tied. I hope that happens, and I hope the one game playoff goes 30 innings.
Rooting for the Reds, Rangers, and Rays in the postseason feels unnatural.
I'll root for the Twins because I enjoy shopping at Target.
I'll go for the Rangers since they are from the Great Lone Star state. I would love to see them crush the Yankees.
The Twins are also acceptable. I'll take the Braves, too, but only in a pinch. To many years of getting beaten up one side and down the other by those cats.
^too
Oh, and in the NL anyone but the Giants.
i second that on the twinkies. i used to enjoy watching kirby puckett play and they've only ever lost to the dodgers in the world series. i say go twin cities!
screw 10th inning...there's a documentary on the 1955 world series on kcet!
It's a bit later here than in Cali. I think I will retire to the comfort of my bed to toss and turn. May everyone have sweet dreams and a pleasant tomorrow. G'nite all.
Sleep tight!
Don't let the bed bugs bite.
Damn bed bugs, making a comeback. How I loathe them.
By bed bugs, I mean the Giants of course.
Hey that's a good nickname for the Giants. Nobody gets it but me!
Another poor choice of parasite.
Can't believe no one mentioned the PGT picture. I drove all the way to Ohio for that shot.
That's a great picture there, Sax.
Hey, the Red Sox municipality was eliminated tonight!
Only Mr F noticed my picture.
(cries)
A naked guy just ran by my window, carrying a sharktopus.
@Josh S: that's weird. My sharktopus was carrying a naked guy by my window. What are the chances?
Reading the PGT the next morning is a most humerous way to start the day.
Favorite line: "Caio Fools, Bye Mi Amor."
