This is fucking retarded. Didn’t Kemp start hitting last night!? Torre, you don’t play the matchup against fucking Brett Myers (which was the right call), but now with mediocre righty Joe Blanton, you play the matchup!?

Ryan Howard plays the game the right way.

You mean hitting the ball into the shift for the 10th time in the series, but being lucky to have guys on base this time? Because that’s playing the game the right way.

Does Joe Torre have a daughter, and if so, did Kemp have sex with her?

Two are probably too old for Kemp, and the other’s probably a little young.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.
I’m cool with the way we lost in games 1 and 2, but its really not cool to leave FIVE guys on base in the 6th and 7th innings and then have the Phillies put up four runs in the 8th.. I didn’t mind Victorino’s bomb, because he has some talent and the game was tied. But, seriously, Matt bleepin Stairs. If you’re going to lose, Dodgers, at least do it humanely without giving the fans hope. This has been such a roller coaster season, and I can’t have it end like this. I watched this team before they played in Mannywood and it was frustrating to watch. I feel like I’ve been rewarded by the team making the playoffs, but don’t end it like this, guys. Please. For the fans.
by WestsideBrandon on Oct 13, 2008 9:28 PM PDT reply actions
I'm not happy
With Torre’s line-up management. The Ethier in the 2-hole experiment worked well for a while but now something needs to change. Loney should be batting cleanup because he is the only guy other than Manny that seems to be able to hit with runners in scoring position. Him batting 5th limits his opportunities because of Martin’s failures and in some cases, just takes the bat right out of his hands.
And for the record, in response to the pre-thread comment or whatever it’s called, I liked the move to start Pierre over Kemp. Kemp has been struggling mightily.
