Good move

Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen

by Phil Gurnee on Jul 19, 2009 3:20 PM PDT reply actions  

Russ Ortiz, man, Russ Ortiz!

{in Bill Paxton voice} This cannot be happening, this can not be happening!

Still 3 innings to go… Maybe new thread will bring luck. Or at least less injuries.

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:20 PM PDT reply actions  

I broke down and got a chili cheese Dodger Dog. Its pretty ridiculously great.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:24 PM PDT reply actions  

I can't believe how

late the ump granted time there. A good way to hurt a pitcher.

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:25 PM PDT reply actions  

Somewhere, Ubaldo Jimenez weeps.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

Felipe Lopez traded

to the Brewers, according to MLB.com.

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:25 PM PDT reply actions  

O-Dog

“injured left wrist…he is day to day”

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:26 PM PDT reply actions  

Kinda vague

but I guess that sounds like it’s not serious at least.

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

Sounds like the classic preliminary announcement…probably will know more either postgame or tomorrow when Hudson arrives.

(or texts Torre at 12pm saying he’s playing)

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:28 PM PDT up reply actions  

Mota is looking goood

by shoothoop on Jul 19, 2009 3:27 PM PDT reply actions  

That HBP

involved a tiny thread on Lee’s jersey being whispered to as the ball passed by

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:28 PM PDT reply actions  

There’s no such thing as a tiny thread on El Caballo’s uni :)

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

Except the one

that lead to a HBP. ;-) Seriously, that was weak.

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

Hi, I’m Guillermo Mota, and I’ll be your awesome today.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:32 PM PDT reply actions  

Scoreless streaks were made to end.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

and of course we will score…Ausmus is on deck!!!

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

The Bisonator!

now if Ausmus comes through again, that will make me giddy.

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:38 PM PDT reply actions  

Low throw to 1B almost got away there

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:38 PM PDT reply actions  

Or that

Arias took so long to decide he almost didn’t get him at 1st.

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:39 PM PDT reply actions  

He had to wait for Keppinger to cover 1B

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:39 PM PDT up reply actions  

Naw

I think Kemp would’ve beaten a thrown over there.

Yes Error!!

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

I just involuntarily clapped in the press box…no dirty looks…yet.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:40 PM PDT reply actions  

YES! HE fucked it up!

by gxl on Jul 19, 2009 3:43 PM PDT reply actions  

OMG

Arias FAIL.

WHat a terrible fielding inning by him. Wow.

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:44 PM PDT reply actions  

I was this close to clapping on that one. Luckily I have elite patience :)

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:44 PM PDT reply actions  

we need all the help we can get.

by Pedro's curse on Jul 19, 2009 3:44 PM PDT reply actions  

kemp was meat at plate

if not for arias he woulda been out

by shaqfor3 on Jul 19, 2009 3:45 PM PDT reply actions  

I dont think so

would have been a tough play at home. Should have gone to first and got the easy out.

by Michael White on Jul 19, 2009 3:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

Loretta almost came through.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:45 PM PDT reply actions  

and look who’s coming up…

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:45 PM PDT reply actions  

Crowd is on fire right now…almost literally; it’s quite hot.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:46 PM PDT reply actions  

Almost everyone that is here has moved to shade if they could have.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

Most of the crowd you can see on TV are seat fillers. Dodgers employ a bunch of em, like the Oscars.
vr, Xei

by Xeifrank on Jul 19, 2009 3:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

The Beard takes offense.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:46 PM PDT reply actions  

Cue Beard for the Mike Marshall point into the other dugout as he rounds the bases move here :)

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

Crowd wanted to erupt on that, but no.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:48 PM PDT reply actions  

Darn

That should’ve been more. But it also should’ve been less.

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:49 PM PDT reply actions  

If I write a book, that quote is going on the sleeve.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

Here's one book already

I want to read this. But reading requires too much work.

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

We owe all scoring to errors on teh pitcher and Brad Ausmum

by oshea2002 on Jul 19, 2009 3:49 PM PDT reply actions  

In case you didn’t catch it (I was in the restroom; unlike Tom Watson, I couldn’t hold it in)…

Castro is at 2B (batting 9th)
Troncoso is batting 2nd

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:53 PM PDT reply actions  

40,340 attendance today

RIP Frank McCourt

News

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:56 PM PDT reply actions  

I reported that a couple of days ago.
vr, Xei

by Xeifrank on Jul 19, 2009 3:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

And, no

I didn’t win a prize. :)
vr, Xei

by Xeifrank on Jul 19, 2009 3:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

He was only gravely ill then :)

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

Well, you're Nostradamus

then because he just died today. :-P

He was critically ill for awhile though and reported as being on his way out then though. So I guess you’re not Nostradamus really. ;-)

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 3:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

I was definitely taking the points.
vr, Xei

by Xeifrank on Jul 19, 2009 4:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

I just got my 3rd Webkinz of the season.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 3:57 PM PDT reply actions  

Screaming Line Drive is pitching now

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:00 PM PDT reply actions  

I should have tripped Ken Gurnick on the stairs. :)

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

LOL

You should do that anyway. ;-)

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 4:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

Welcome!!! Just in time for a 2-out rally.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

2-2 to Loney…deuces not quite wild, just yet

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:04 PM PDT reply actions  

Shit…get Dashiell some Kleenex

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:04 PM PDT reply actions  

I'm all verklempt

I need a moment… Let me put on Old Yeller to cheer me up.

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 4:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

How has Broxton been this year?

Haven’t seen a game of his this year

by SoCal12 on Jul 19, 2009 4:06 PM PDT reply actions  

Whoa, seriously?

Broxton’s been terrific for the most part.

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 4:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

One of the very best in baseball.

Nursing a toe injury now, that may linger through the rest of the year though…still effective.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:07 PM PDT up reply actions  

good

hes got control issues with throwing strikes but hes been solid

by shaqfor3 on Jul 19, 2009 4:07 PM PDT up reply actions  

good news, good news.

by SoCal12 on Jul 19, 2009 4:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

When Loney grounds to 2B today, its only been one out (twice)..when he grounds to SS, two outs (also twice). :(

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:06 PM PDT reply actions  

Semi-interesting note on the scoreboard…the Dodgers “USA Natives” hail from 13 different states.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:08 PM PDT reply actions  

Kemp has been really good this game.

by shoothoop on Jul 19, 2009 4:09 PM PDT reply actions  

2 singles, a walk, a HR and a SB…and all four runs scored.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:10 PM PDT up reply actions  

4 runs = Matt Kemp’s career high.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

Still

only Kemp, Ethier and Ausmus have done anything

by Michael White on Jul 19, 2009 4:10 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah but if they win they win

we can’t expect 1-8 to contribute every game together. (Not saying Raffy and Loney’s failed days aren’t frustrating mind you.)

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 4:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

No argument from me

Actually I find it more fascinating than anything— that the rest of the lineup would go 0 for… while three others carry the game

by Michael White on Jul 19, 2009 4:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

BISON!!

What a fantastic at bat, and a great day. Wow. No more batting him 8th now I take it? ;-)

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 4:10 PM PDT reply actions   1 recs

Bison 4 runs, Astros 3

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:10 PM PDT reply actions  

No need to fear, my man.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

I swear ...

even though Plasskey is a “fan” of the Dodgers, I would much rather pay $0.50 a day to read you in print than him.

by Seanny Rotten on Jul 19, 2009 4:33 PM PDT up reply actions   1 recs

Thank you, sir! I’ll send you a bill :)

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

Excellent spear by Hawkins,

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:12 PM PDT reply actions  

Standing O for Kemp as he takes the field.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:13 PM PDT reply actions  

What was the (hopefully) final line?

Ausmus, Ethier, Kemp- 8 for 10
Everyone else- 0 for 21

by Michael White on Jul 19, 2009 4:14 PM PDT reply actions  

That is correct (cue Chris Farley taking off his shirt) :)

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

That’s interesting. Those 3 guys have basically carried us the whole game. Different contributors every night I suppose.

by shoothoop on Jul 19, 2009 4:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

the beauty of this lineup

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

We have to think positive

I don’t think Big Boy Broxton will let this one go.

by gxl on Jul 19, 2009 4:16 PM PDT reply actions  

Question

Which one of these is Broxton? Or both?

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 4:16 PM PDT reply actions  

He’s the dude walking under big blue :)

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:17 PM PDT up reply actions  

Heh

A tall tourist to be sure. But no Blue Brox!

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 4:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

Stadium gun said 95 on the last foul to Keppinger

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:19 PM PDT reply actions  

Thought that was a hit.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2009 4:21 PM PDT reply actions  

Yessssssss!

Bison and Brox say bye-bye to the Bastros!

by underdog on Jul 19, 2009 4:22 PM PDT reply actions  

A split never tasted so good.

Only caught bits and pieces of the game, great win ...

but does anybody know O-dogs status? L wrist, that’s his surgically repaired one, right?

by Pedro's curse on Jul 19, 2009 4:31 PM PDT reply actions  

it is his surgically repaired one.
