Game 89 Thread: July 11 vs. Brewers, 7p

Brandon Beachy (0-0, -.--) vs. Taylor Jungmann (3-1, 2.43)

Tonight we give thanks for the many contributions of Juan Uribe on the night where his bobble will be distributed despite the fact that he's no longer with the team. We also give thanks to Uribe for the many memes he gave us.
Saddest among us, of course, has to be injured Dodgers pitcher Hyun-jin Ryu, whose bromance was cut tragically short by Uribe's trade to Atlanta in May.
Saludos, Uribear, for all your contributions to the team (ignoring the woeful times you also provided)!

It should also be noted that Brandon Beachy makes his first pitching start for the Dodgers.

i never warmed up to Uribe. once a Gnat always a Gnat.

Uribe warned up to the team meal spread, however

In all seriousness, I absolutely hated Uribe his first two seasons when he batted .145. And then he got on fire for his contract year, and was pretty good (until the playoffs). That one HR he had against Atlanta in the NLDS was awesome. (I hope my memory is correct.)

I had always read that Uribe maintained a great positive attitude throughout both good and bad times, which is pretty impressive.

And now that he's gone, I'm admittedly a little sad. There's no room for him on this roster, figuratively and literally. But another positive attitude around the locker room couldn't hurt, especially when we fall into those noffense slumps.

0-0 through 3, but ethier's bungled play in left (ball bounces off him and goes over the wall) makes it look like Milwaukee will take the lead (play under review)

Steve Sax said...

Hmm, they call it a ground rule double. Brewers now have bases loaded with two out and Gomez up, but Beachy can't find the zone

SHIT...3-0 Brews

Steve Sax said...

And, it's a bases-clearing double. 3-0 Milwaukee, Brandon Brachy officially sucks.

that's a wrap. PGT Up!

Puig with the cannon!

Orel said...

Otherwise, ugh

Steve Sax said...

Dodgers think they're already on the All-Star Break, apparently. Two hits through six is all we can muster?

4-0 MIL through 6+
