Post-Game 49 Thread: Playing Possum Edition

DODGERS 8, ANGELS 7

By all appearances, Dodgers were dead in the road today. But dammit we won, improbably! Three errors, down 6-1, us being us, and somehow we pulled this thing out.

Matt Libs
Today, the Dodgers had 13 solid hits, but despite Kemp's terrible 0-5 choke at the plate, League didn't eat the ball in his ninth inning save. The pitching from Greinke started off poorly, but then it got even shittier. So Mattingly called the bullpen for Belli, who came in and didn't necessarily suck as usual. The Dodgers ending up winning the game by one run in the 7th inning thanks to Jerry Hairston.

Mattingly said that Ethier needed the day off to rest, but we all know it was really because Ethier is a prima donna little bitch who can't hit lefties. All we can do is try again tomorrow versus the Lost Angels of Orange County, but with Uribe on the team, we can never be assured of a win.

Nice job of Matt Libs!

Nice job filling in the blanks!

Someone tell Mike to visit the front office before the game tomorrow. Earvin has a question to ask you.

Steve Sax said...

Mike Wazowski?

Orel said...

@Gnomes: We're two in. Keith Law says it gets better as it goes along.

Hideo Nomo said...

I hear it all pays off once you make it through the whole thing, but I wish the individual episodes stood on their own better.

Orel said...

Hey, at least it isn't Episode I.

Steve Sax said...

Don't spoil AD, brethren! I couldn't watch it this weekend as I was away...

Possum? Where the heck are you from? That's an Armadillo. Get your critters straight.
