Juan Uribe, in triplicate! Uribe hit three HR in his first three ABs to help power the Dodgers out of our four-game losing streak slump, and on to victory. You read that right: three HR from Uribe (the first time ever that a Dodgers 3B had three HR); don't just take my word for it, trust the Gadsden (Alabama) Times! Uribe finished 4-for-4 with 3 runs and 4 RBI. Incredible.
The Dodgers actually had four HR in the first three frames, off the bat of Andre Ethier, Uribe, Adrian Gonzalez (two-run HR), and Uribe again. Add another HR from Uribe, and a HR from Hanley Ramirez, and the Dodgers were romping: six HR and eight runs scored.
Ricky Nolasco went 6.2 IP with 3 H and 1 ER, 1 BB and 6 Ks. J.P. Howell, Carlos Marmol, and Kenley Jansen closed out the Snakes. Dodgers' magic number shrinks to eight. As I see it, YES!
UPDATE: As SoSG Nomo called in the GT, Hello Kitty is indeed good luck.

"The one thing about Juan...he always has been a good defender. He has always played third base and been quality there. [...] Juan gained a lot of respect in the clubhouse with his treatment of Luis (Cruz) last year. And then this year, he came back in great shape, and swung the bat well from early on." --Mattingly

I just woke up to check: yes, Uribe hit three HR in a game
Happy bunny. Or should I say kitty!
WOOOP!
This is not the Uribe you are looking for. Move along.
It's hard to see any other Uribe, due to his girth
