I can think of another playoff team recently
Who had a solo shot from a left handed first baseman to take an early lead.
Our offseason is gonna be messy
If the McCourts can’t figure it out. If Jaime ends up as sole owner, will she make some weird changes? I guess she can’t be worse than her husband, or better for that matter.
WHAMMY!
ok lets go, we're alright
its our turn for a break out 5 run inning now : )
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
everyone knew a home run was coming soon
just thank g-d it was a solo shot!!!
if we loose this game its pretty sad

i refuse to believe pedro is about to throw a 7 inning gem
lets fucking shell him
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
what you think of the Laker game yesterday?
i know its meaningless almost but Bynum looks pretty awesome so far
by desecrator09 on Oct 16, 2009 2:09 PM PDT up reply actions
haha alright
we’re just fans though man not like we’re the players
by desecrator09 on Oct 16, 2009 2:11 PM PDT up reply actions
I get you
I’m a huge fan too, but talking Lakers makes me feel like we’re giving up on the Dodgers. Its Dodger season and THEN Laker season. We’ll get there, and everything will be good. Lets just hope we don’t get there until November, hehehe
WHAMMY!
bynum looks lean
and like a machine…
hes gonna be an all star this year
Padilla
is pretty money. Still laughing at some of the posters on DT who said he was no better than Jason Schmidt.
kemp ethier manny loney
our 4 best hitters are coming up right now… i refuse to believe we arent gonna score right now
ok theres a break, no fucking double plays time to capitalize
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
oh man that looked like a pitch ethier could smack
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
i say Ethier gets a single here
Manny stikes out and Loney drives in 1 run
Finally got caught up
Like what Padilla has today. Not a huge fan of that Kemp steal. Just seemed unnecessary to me.
if there were tempo in baseball
philly would be controlling it, it seems…but luckily 1 at bat or 2 can change that in baseball
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
he has been going lower 90s when he needs to
by trainwreck84 on Oct 16, 2009 2:18 PM PDT up reply actions
nooo
he hasnt had the low 90s…
he has 0 Ks.. if he was low 90s wouldnt u htink he would have a k by now
hes been high 80s topping at 90
We've been a little unlucky with where balls have been hit
but they also aren’t hitting them very hard.
hah
the swiftest pitch of the day was in the last at bat to manny which was 91
otherwise its been high 80 90 at most
he can get it at that speed pretty much if he wants it
he’s just not using it much
by trainwreck84 on Oct 16, 2009 2:25 PM PDT up reply actions
theres no way that we arent extremely frustrated after that
the game could be decided in the next couple innings, we need to remain composed and just trust that we can tire pedro out
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Pedro has 0 strikeouts through 4 innings
i really think it might be the first time this has happened in his Career
Ugh, if we lose today
There wil be nothing worse than watching ESPN’s Baseball Tonight, and listening to all those smug broadcasters talking about a possible Philly sweep. Acting as though the Dodgers are just another fluke team.
OH SO FRUSTRATING, I’M GONNA HIT SOMETHING…OW!
WHAMMY!
I know
And i’ll sadly have to start cheering for the Angels to win it all :(
by desecrator09 on Oct 16, 2009 2:20 PM PDT up reply actions
I really wouldn’t mind if Padilla threw up and in on Ruiz right now.
You wanna know how great baseball is? The greatest basketball player ever left his sport to play baseball.
Good God Ruiz owns us
Career Split against us
.378 .511 .622 1.132
Next closest is Arizona at a .891 OPS when looking at more then 10 at bats. So against us he’s 250 OPS better then against anyone else, and almost .500 points better then his norm.
1/2 this board reminds of
the folks who chant “Phillies Suck”
the other 1/2
“Let’s Go Dodgers Let’s Go”
I consider the Phillies Suck chant to be the stupidest chant I’ve ever heard at a stadium.
All chants of _______ Suck
Are pretty much worthless, cause typically the loudest of these chants are for teams or players who don’t suck.
Its just hard to get a good creative chant going.
One that is both catchy and easy to remember.
WHAMMY!
definitely
Rauuuuuuuuuuul was my favorite as a little kid, i know its unoriginal btu still, and hee-sop-choi was a classic
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
I remember that
I remember being in the pavillion, and there was this one dude that would just go crazy for Hee Sop Choi
“Oh man, Hee Sop Choi would have caught that!”
“Hee Sop Choi could have hit it farther!”
Even – “Hee Sop Choi would have struck that dude out, give the ball to Heeeeee Sop!”
WHAMMY!
it is stupid indeed, and we use _______ sucks every team it seems
but I have more appreciation for fans chanting that, than those sitting on their asses or looking at their cell phones
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
oh godammit...
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
2 hits???
thats all we can get off 37 year old pedro??
ugggggh
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
dodgers ruining my weekend
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
this game has a lazy feel to it right now, i just hate day games
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
I normally lose my mind when teams start hacking at first pitches
but the Dodgers might want to start
Anyone know of any good sales on laptops right now?
Cuz I’m about to throw this one against a wall.

if only we had last night's hitting with today's pitching (thus far)
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
cmon dodgers
just win this fucking game so i can breathe a little tomorrow
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
It's the way he's done it though
He looks completely overmatched up there, like he’s a pitcher or something
Andrew lambo
3 for 3 with a Triple double and single…
Will he hit for the cycle??? he just needs a homer and its only the top of the 6th inning right now so he will have 1 or maybe 2 more chances at it
They just showed a shot of Kobe sitting in between Frank and Tommy. What an odd trio.
You wanna know how great baseball is? The greatest basketball player ever left his sport to play baseball.
cmon Kobe rally the troops
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
I almost wish Tommy would walk into the dugout, yell in some ears
and reiterate whats on the line here, I know pep talks and fiery speeches aren’t common in baseball, but lets come to life boys!
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Come on Dodgers!!!!!
I dont wanna have to cheer for the goddamn ANGELS to win the WS!!! Dont do this to me!! To US!!
fuck a New Jersey Turnpike WS
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
fucking phillies
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
go back to hawaii if ur going to complain about the heat
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
now can we score some fucking runs...
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
was this the last inning for padilla???
wow!! it might be with his spot coming up and us needing some offense
we might pinch hit for him!
If he doubles or triples
we need a bat up there
who woulda thunk
this would be a pitching duel
and yesterday would be a slugfest…baseball is wack
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
cmon dodgers
u worked too damn hard all year to fall short now
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
You're killing me, Larry!
A. Ethier RF 0-2
M. Ramirez LF 0-2
J. Loney 1B 0-2
C. Blake 3B 0-2
R. Belliard 2B 0-2
So far...Great day for LA tourism
lousy day for LA baseball

why must our former pitchers keep burning us?
ugh
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
has anyone else noticed someone in the booth breathing heavily into their mic
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
I think thats standard
yes we like getting a base runner, but you always let em know you dont appreciate them taking our guy out
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Where did that hit him? His head?!
You wanna know how great baseball is? The greatest basketball player ever left his sport to play baseball.
What’s up shaq? C’mon Dodgers. Make the phillies cry. Let’s be pedro’s daddy!
by Skunkburner on Oct 16, 2009 2:46 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Love the job Padilla did
But I still pinch hit here anyway. Only 12 outs left. I don’t like wasting one w/ a bunt here.
by insomniacslounge on Oct 16, 2009 2:46 PM PDT reply actions
plz fucking score here
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
this is so frustrating
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Bravo Pedro, you amde us look like lost children today
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
And yours seems really, really low
“Skinny: Simulator Fun Facts… My simulator and Vegas are in very good agreement on the Game #2 win probabilities. The Game #1 loss dropped the Dodgers ‘Series Win Probability’ down to 38.1%. A win tomorrow will raise it back up to 51.9%, while a loss would drop it to a depressing 19.9%.”
Is that from a strictly historical perspective
or does it factor in matchups, etc. I’m basing a lot of my pessimism on facing their ace in game 3, v. a guy for us who’s been hurt.
Cool. Didn't know that.
But what about a divorce announcement from ownership?
20% is kind of pessimistic
not exactly of a fan of 1 in 5 odds. Still we only need to win two games in Philly. We did that once already this year, we can do it again. No need to ride the negative train until we have lost all four games.
I can believe a statistical analysis of many iterations considering most factors
or a bunch of cynical/pessimistic sports fans. I’ll side with Frank.
ill take neither actually
im not sure numbers tell the whole story, there’s no way of knowing what the psyche will be like after this game, win or lose, in both clubhouses
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
I had a nasty feeling
Pedro would pitch a vintage game today… FUUUUCKK!!
now will that decision to bunt look even worse
we need padilla to keep this at 1
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Looks like
Andre will have to win this in the 9th off of Lidge after Thome walks to lead off the 9th.
this must be how the giants feel except everyday
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
howard
i could throw him fastball down the middle strike 1 slider inside corner strike 2 and big breaking ball in the dirt striek3
great
ryan howard ugh
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Well, would have been close.
Perhaps a single is better than the chance of a triple
pull him now
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Hook him?
You guys need to chill the fuck out.

in the 1996 WS
the yankees lost both games 1 and 2 to the Atlanta Braves at home
Torre managed that club….but they turned it around in Atlanta
taking all 3 games including a game 4 rally from a 6 run deficit
and they clinched it in game 6 in new york
i know anything is possible but id like to avoid this…
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
If we can't avoid it
I’m all for doing it that way. And the Yankee’s were facing some nasty pitching back then. They beat Glavine (Lee Clone), Neagle (AJ Happ anyone), and Smoltz.
Apparently there used to be a Padilla Flotilla in Philly
They were talking about it on the radio the other day – people even came with oars.
sit ur ass down ibanez
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Padilla has been amazing
certainly doesn’t deserve to be losing right now
if jim thome doesnt do something impactful before the world series i say let pierre be the dh or pintch hitter of choice. i dont like his confidence or swing right now
It's a tough call
Him getting more than one at bat per game could change everything, but the added defense JP in LF adds is very intriguing.
ya his defense is certainly better
but is it enough, this will be last world series speculation, but how about o dog back in the field and belliard to pinch hit
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Plus Thome basically not being able to run the basepaths adds another element. Other possibility is Belliard DHing and Hudson at 2B.
against a lefty
that would be a great idea
I havent seen the game until now but I heard Scully and he said Padilla was on his game along with Pedro.. I watched the last inning and the lack of plate discipline is disgusting.
Pedro's been painting it black all day
There was an adjustment midgame to swing at more pitches. They’re just not squaring them.
Come on Dodgers don't waste this Padilla start
All MLB teams are equal but some MLB teams are more equal than others.
cmon dodgers score a godamn run
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
wow, Padilla's performance thus far in the playoffs almost puts tears in my eyes
what an amazing story, get him the win boys, just do it
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
If Padilla gets a Loss for this game
we honestly should deserve to win this series.
I know! out of spite we should win the series ;)

Prepare for the ENTIRE SPORTING MEDIA
to slobber all over Pedro’s nuts within the next 24 hours.
There's a chance
that was Manny’s final home at bat as a Dodger.

It's a small chance, but you never know
maybe Boras misreads the market.
I'm not sure we'd miss him anymore, so lets hope so, I think the manny magic is over
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Boras is a major asshole
but not a complete moron
only if you’re expecting him to get hit by a bus sometime in the offseason

as if pedros and padillas gems weren't odd enough lol
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Okay, I'm going to have to call Manuel an idiot now.
Yes, his team is winning and they are good, but this is stupid.
Given the way Pedro is pitching...
and the horror that is that bullpen. I just can’t see this. Particularly with the bottom of the Dodger order due up.
not madson
parks gonna get the ball. im worried
i second that
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
wow
this is terrible
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Madson, Lidge, and Park's fastballs are going to look like 105 mph heaters
in the shade and following on Pedro’s heels.
our former pitchers have to fucking own us

fernando tatis where are you?

This Thread Is Closed Guys
Bad mojo to still post here. Thread III is up for the past 18 minutes.
vr, Xei
Park had a 4.43 ERA this year
Perhaps we’re making a bit much of a nice performance yesterday? The man is hittable

vr, Xei
by the way the phillies winning this game 1-0 is not even in the top 50 most likely scores
so something is probably going to change
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
ump screwing us over
get prepared for a 2 run home run cause thats how things are for us
