Post-Game 51 Thread: Double Play Mania

BREWERS 6, DODGERS 2

The Dodgers needed to bounce back in a big way after the latest Matt Kemp disappointment. They needed Chad Billingsley to come up big. They needed to stop hitting into so many freakin' double plays.

Bills labored for all six innings he pitched, throwing 116 pitches and allowing four earned runs. The Dodgers got thirteen hits but hit into three double plays. They've hit into eight double plays in their past three games.

For the first time ever, the Brewers sweep the Dodgers in a series (!). The idle Giants move to five games back. The Dodgers fly to Colorado tonight to start a ten-game road trip against the Rockies, Phillies and Mariners.

Gonna be a long month.

How in the hell do we still have the best record in baseball?

Fuckstick! I know that every team has a losing streak in them, but that never helps me tolerate it any more when it comes around...

The suggestive PGT header does dull the pain, somewhat. I'll give you that.

People at work best leave me alone today

Dusty Baker said...

You're even working today? One must take a day off after a 4-game home sweep.

Fred's Brim said...

@Dusty: I will only say that I am at work

Dusty Baker said...

Plus, FB, how are you ever going to snap and go postal at work if you're not actually at work? I get it.

Fred's Brim said...

I want to apply for a job at the post office but getting hired is tough when they are trying to scale back operations

I've got my tickets lined up for each of the games in Seattle next weekend. I expect to get ejected at least once for my drunken antics.

Fred's Brim said...

Jason, we expect more from you!

Hideo Nomo said...

Time for another round of owner's suite hide and seek, Jason?

Jason said...

@Nomo - No owner's suite access until late July this year. I will be in the company seats in the first row behind the home dugout for the 6/9 game, though.

I may or may not streak. I'll have to train with Spank for a couple of days first.

Please don't get your streaking fish from Pike Place - that's for tourists

Franklin Stubbs said...

That give catch-and-release a whole additional dimension, does it not?
