Post-Game 82 Thread: Dodgers Hop Out of the Basement

DODGERS 8, ROCKIES 0

The Rockies may have started Oswalt the Lucky Rabbit, but today the Dodgers were the only NL West team with any bounce in their step.

On the day that Homer Bailey no-hit the Giants and the D'backs and Padres lost, Clayton Kershaw used 108 pitches to throw a complete-game no-walk shutout, only the sixth such game in Coors Field history.

Puig was a triple shy of the cycle, AGon homered, Ethier and Uribe each went 2 for 4 and Ajellis went 2 for 3. The only dim spot on the day was Kemp going 0 for 5 with 3 Ks, although he did send one to the warning track in his last at-bat.

The Dodgers are finally out of last place and 2.5 games out of first. Booga booga indeed!

Nomo was stuck in a drive thru line that lasted the whole game.

Dodgers have gained 7 games in 11 days. In last 10 days, LA is 8-1 while rest of NL West is 7-28.

^ Per someone on twitter who I just lifted this from instead of doing my own research, but I forgot who it was.

Can't wait for Marmol to become our closer!

From DodgersPR:

"Yasiel Puig's seventh-inning home run Tuesday was calculated at 451 feet. It is the longest home run of the season by a Dodger."

That 441-ft bomb from HanRam was dope enough. Now this one from Puig!

Oh, it's just just shitty Taco Bell, but it's great with a side of schadenfreude.

Sam and Max time!

@Gnomes: I hope you got the Del Scorcho Schadenfreude, and not the weak sauce.

Has Luis Cruz signed with the #Yankees? That's what #Dodgers Hall of Fame broadcaster Jamie Jarrin hears, via @JaimeJarrin.

Hideo Nomo said...

Can Cruz make the main Yankees roster before they come to Dodger Stadium in three weeks?

Hideo Nomo said...

@BillShaikin: Cruz denies signing w #Yankees: MT @CochitoCruz: @JaimeJarrin don jaime no es verdad ojala me salga una oportunidad (h/t: @DodgerBlueOPJ)

Hideo Nomo said...

So, I guess the answer to my question is no.

Pride of Dong said...

Sorry. I married Mexican, I don't speak it. Translate?

Steve Sax said...
