You know what was real bitter-sweet about that Grand Slam?

I took Manny out of my fantasy lineup for the day since I didn’t think he’d play. Ahhh!

Oh well though… reality is always > fantasy.

Poor Russell Martin…his sure play of the game gets washed away :)

Nick Masset four outs tonight have all come against left handers.

Masset pitches right handed.

by Tripon on Jul 22, 2009 9:30 PM PDT reply actions

Until the Casey Blake strikeout.

by Tripon on Jul 22, 2009 9:31 PM PDT up reply actions

In Manny’s career – BEFORE TONIGHT!!! – he had pinch hit with the bases loaded twice. He had a strikeout (1999) and a sac fly (1994).

by Eric Stephen on Jul 22, 2009 9:31 PM PDT reply actions

theyre going to have to update that soon hahaha

by shaqfor3 on Jul 22, 2009 9:33 PM PDT up reply actions

Mota wittled down his ERA to 3.72.

by Tripon on Jul 22, 2009 9:40 PM PDT reply actions

No wait,that's Billingsley current ERA.

Mota’s ERA is 3.13

Fuck, he’s going to earn some money in the off season.

Torre's GOAT decision

letting manny pinch hit instead of loretta

by shaqfor3 on Jul 22, 2009 9:48 PM PDT reply actions

Looks like its Broxton.

by Tripon on Jul 22, 2009 9:49 PM PDT reply actions

Phhheeeeeeeeeet

Manny on his bobblehead night only manages to show up for one pitch.

What a slacker.

Come on Manny stop mailing it in.

by Dodger Dude on Jul 22, 2009 9:50 PM PDT reply actions

Hey what’s up with Xavier?

Its like he fell off the face of the earth.

It looks like that Manny guy is done. Can only play one pitch a game.

by Dodger Dude on Jul 22, 2009 9:53 PM PDT reply actions

Xavier Paul has micro fractures in his foot.

out for at least another month.

by Tripon on Jul 22, 2009 9:55 PM PDT up reply actions

How did he break his foot from a skin infection?

That guys got no luck.

by Dodger Dude on Jul 22, 2009 9:58 PM PDT up reply actions

Nice play by the Dodgers.

by Tripon on Jul 22, 2009 9:54 PM PDT reply actions

I think Torre is trying to bring back that game over flavor back.

headline on McCovey Chronicle - "Giants Lose - Water is Wet"

by oshea2002 on Jul 22, 2009 9:59 PM PDT reply actions

laughed at that earlier

O.A.

by Ollie on Jul 22, 2009 10:00 PM PDT up reply actions

how bout the caption under the photo...

Wait, wait. Hold on, blue. The pitcher put some sort of spinny motion on that ball by gripping the ball differently and/or snapping his wrist. I’m pretty sure that’s against the rules. Check his mitt.

by bucknellbruin on Jul 22, 2009 10:01 PM PDT up reply actions

classic, although some commenter brought up 1951

so I wont say the jello’s jiggling’ until its mathematically impossible for them to come back : )

O.A.

by Ollie on Jul 22, 2009 10:05 PM PDT up reply actions

5 game winning streak.

by Tripon on Jul 22, 2009 10:00 PM PDT reply actions

OK Seriously that was unfucobelievable. Mannywood, Bills, Broxton, this is like game 1 of the World Series.

by Dodger Dude on Jul 22, 2009 10:01 PM PDT reply actions

A great, great night.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 22, 2009 10:04 PM PDT up reply actions

It's been a magical season, for sure.

by Dr. Geek on Jul 22, 2009 10:04 PM PDT up reply actions

Except kindof like in Bizzaro world where you play Cincinati,

but anyway, there was a good pitcher and two good hitters, close enough for tonight.

There have been so many signs about the World Series this year, its ridiculous.

by Dodger Dude on Jul 22, 2009 10:12 PM PDT up reply actions

I feel the trifecta

Lakers, Dodgers, SC football. Oh so close in 1988, this year will be the year.

by oshea2002 on Jul 22, 2009 10:06 PM PDT reply actions

Damn you Tony Rice!!!

by Eric Stephen on Jul 22, 2009 10:09 PM PDT up reply actions

the worst, worst game I'd witnessed live until the Rose Bowl v. Texas

by oshea2002 on Jul 22, 2009 10:12 PM PDT up reply actions

Lyons and the other guy just slammed Kent.

“Last year, there was guys you didn’t like.”

by Tripon on Jul 22, 2009 10:13 PM PDT reply actions

checkin' in and right away I look at the box score and I say:

well, looks like Manny’s ok ;D
