Post-Game 55 Thread: League Turns Back Into Pumpkin

Former Dodger, former Bruin team up to beat formerly good team.

PIRATES 6, DODGERS 3

The Dodgers have won four of their past five series (Marlins, Mets, Phils, Reds), but mediocrity returned to Dodger Stadium tonight. Dan Haren pitched a so-so game, allowing three earned runs (two off solo home runs, including one to Russell Martin) over six innings.

Puig, Dee and Hanley each had RBIs to tie it 3-3 going into the seventh, but that's when the newly respectable League came in. With the help of a Hanley error, League allowed two runs and left two on for Maholm, who allowed one more, and that's all she wrote.

On the plus side, Dee stole two more bases. On the down side, Kemp went 0 for 4. Dodgers fall to an utterly mediocre 29-26.

Kemp is 0-LF isn't he?

Should we start calling him OLaF?

He loves summer and warm hugs.

He's 0 for his last 16, though he was benched for a good chunk of that time.

he could use a warm hug after an 0-16 run
