Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
The offense showed up tonight, highlighted by Andre Ethier's two-run home run in the sixth, but it all fell apart in the ninth. With the Dodgers leading 6-5, Kenley Jansen allowed the first two runners on, then battled back to get two outs. With Everth Cabrera on third and Will Venable on second, Jansen turned his back to home plate and Cabrera stole home. When Jansen's throw went to the backstop, Venable followed with the winning run. So, yeah.

This went from makin party to makin tears in my beers.
This went from dry humping to thumb sucking.
This went from drinking to drinking.
As we speak Colletti is driving down to the old folks home to look for a reliever.
How did he let Fuentes get away?
This went from Flaming Menudos best party hits to Flaming Menudos' love songs for the stalker lovers why who is asking hits.
Giants with two on, bot 12.
Hello, second place!
Drunk post noted Dusty.
I think the more disturbing thing is that we allowed 5 runs to the lowly Pads not counting those two fluky ones.
@jphoonstra: "Kenley Jansen was among the first guys at his locker stall after the game, answered every question."
Good on you, Kenley.
I'd rather Jansen be a spoil sport but be a mentally prepared, confident pitcher. That was one of the dumbest plays I've ever seen outside of pee wee league.
Yeah, Kenley fucked up, but they just kept letting the Padres back in. 3-1 became 3-2, 4-2 became 4-4, 6-4 became 6-5, etc.
Jansen will be okay. I'd rather have him learn from that mistake in July than October. Great read by the madres. That is what happens when you have a rep for not keeping the runners in tow.
Learn from Ken and move on.
It. Oh and sign more Cubans.
Seriously. In years past this would have happened in the playoffs.
This one seemed tougher to bear if one was in the Yard. Crowd didn't even understand what was happening. Much like Jansen.
I feel like poking my own eyes out, with knitting needles.
This should have ben the best night ever, what with me finally meeting Neeebs and RBN. But like my prom night, it turned out to be more hype than anything else, the excitement short-lived, and me sitting around with Kleenex.
Sons attendance record has already been updated, sadly. It huuuuuuurts!
Mrs Dusty: What do you guys want to drink?
MDIL: I'll split a Diet Coke with you.
Dusty: I'll split a beer with myself.
And I add yhat RBN, myself, and Dodgers are celebrating 50 this year.
*cries*
@Neeebs
You guys don't look a day older than 45.
45!

I love the genius who took the quart and added 8 ounces to it, just to be safe.
50?!?? This is not good for the band's néw pop album.

@PJ: Dont worry. Half the band has latin american birth certificates. Official records say we havent hit 35 yet.
