Post-Game 53 Thread: Life Is Good

DODGERS 6, REDS 3

It was the Zack & Andre show at Chavez Ravine tonight. Greinke went 7 2/3 innings and was holding the Reds to one run until Devin Mesoraco's two-run home run in the eighth inning knocked him out of the game. Ethier hit a solo homer in the second and a Rancho Ardiendo-clearing triple in the fourth for his four RBIs.

Hanley (finally back in the lineup) and Figgy chipped in with an RBI apiece. Howell got the hold and Kenley the 1-2-3 save. Amazing what the bullpen can do with a little rest.

This being a Dodgers victory, there had to be a downside. And that was Crawdaddy injuring his ankle chasing down a double in the eighth. X-rays were negative (they need to cheer up!) but Donnie said "It didn't look good." So expect the Dodgers to put Kemp on the DL instead.

Fun fact, of the last seven games attended by any of the Sons, Dusty has been there.

Way to represent!

Carl Crawford: My leg just slipped and it swelled up real quick. They're going to put me on the DL. I think it's going to take a while.

I guess if Ryu had completed the perfecto, Carl's foot would have come off completely.

Sad fact, AC never writes or calls so I've never been able to dry hump him this season.

I had a pretty good vantage point to see what happened with Crawdaddy. When he was playing the ball, he slipped/twisted on an area of LF right where the grass gave way to the warning track. So so there was give on the grass, then all the sudden there wasn't on the dirt. It left a big mark halfway on the grass and halfway on the dirt.

I guess Hanley doesn't have a Monopoly on injuries.

Bingo!

I hope he doesn't need an Operation.

It's good to see Dre finally swinging his Axis, and Allies I won't tell, I am digging the recent pitching

When SVS was inserted into LF after Crawdaddy's injury, Matt Kemp really looked like he had Ants in the Pants on the bench.
