LETS GO DODGERSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
blake vs wilson!!!!!!!!
How big was that tag up by Raff
we’d be scolding him to death if he was a step slower
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
how big
is that bases loaded walk? Or escaping the bottom of the 2nd?
To that guy who questioned Rafa's speed...
There’s your answer

Very close to a double?
Or it was a double?

well i was already
but that did not help in the least : )

If we win today without using Haegar
he’ll probably never come close to being in a game again during this tenure.
believe it or not, a day off doesn’t magically solve everything :o

Even if the Giants win this game...
Their ace blew the lead with 2 outs in the 9th inning. That is a huge moral victory for us. Now apparently Loney got on, so lets go Kemp!
Kemp
needs to get an extra base hit here, and he’s had 1 big hit in each game so far, let this at bat be that big hit today.
Gosh, I hate putting up with Giants fans right now.
They’re bitching so much, it’s so bad..
What is wrong with Wilson’s hair? Him and Lincecum must go to the same barber.
You wanna know how great baseball is? The greatest basketball player ever left his sport to play baseball.
please get through one more
so we can give the top of the lineup one more chance : /

i despise the Morango dancing chips commercial though
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
definitely an EXTREME strikeout from Wilson there though..
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Oh, really?
Well in that case let’s go for the win haha. I thought we were still in that 20 straight games streak.
The logical big picture part of me says no
The part watching with my giants fan asshole retarded friends says yes

That's the smart move
not wise to leave yourself with no catchers.
by Michael White on Aug 12, 2009 4:06 PM PDT up reply actions
Despite these moves...
our defense is still better than the Giants.
oh well
we never expected to et here, and I’m not expecting Mota to come through, but it was certianly fun to scare the Giants fans a little : )
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
because he is mota
which means the knuckle guy isn’t going to get the outside either….
by MaxDSterling on Aug 12, 2009 4:10 PM PDT up reply actions
i'm going back outside
i’ll get the outcome on my phone…
I pray to see an “end of inning” text before a “run scored” one
I just ruined the outcome of the US versus Mexico game for my co-worker
didn’t realize the dude TIVO’d it.
well it's better than spewing the outcome of the Brazil US match at halftime
when they were up 2-nil…
by MaxDSterling on Aug 12, 2009 4:13 PM PDT up reply actions
well was he American or Mexican
if he;s Mexican its worse, If he’s Ameican then its not as bad
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
If said co-worker cheers for Mexico
then fuck em

I'd never feel bad about ruining a sporting outcome
sports are meant to be watched live.
Whew… that was kinda a scary fly ball to Manny.
You wanna know how great baseball is? The greatest basketball player ever left his sport to play baseball.
haha oh well
not unexpected in the least, fun while it lasted

Friggin great job sending mota out there
Instead of ANYONE else. Mota is struggling right now, he needs to get fine-tuned like earlier in the season. Aweome.
Broxton and Charlie H.
Why did Torre refuse to use Charlie H.? WHY BRING A PLAYER UP IF YOU REFUSE TO USE THEM? Torre has his players he loves to screw with like this, ughhh.
I realize Broxton was being saved to close out the game if need be, but Mota is in a big slump, and hasn’t shown any signs of getting out of it.
without the stats on-hand...
isn’t Mota more effective when he’s brought in in the middle of an inning as opposed to starting one?
no he sucks when he comes in
with runners on base
i cant believe it
2 sliders in a row 1 missed and then you throw fastball down the middle
i knew the game was over once ausmus was called upon to be the catcher…..
he doesnt know how to call a game in my opinion… russell martin is much better at it
And this is the catcher that many
want to catch Kershaw’s every game. I kind of doubt he was supposed to throw a fastball in that location.
i actually disagree with ausmus catching kershaws games
everyone else seems to want him to though
Broxton has entered a tie game 9 times this season.
All at home. All 9th inning or later.
by Eric Stephen on Aug 12, 2009 4:24 PM PDT up reply actions
Because Torre is a "manage to a stat" type guy
by Michael White on Aug 12, 2009 4:24 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, I don’t agree with it…I’m just not surprised by it.
by Eric Stephen on Aug 12, 2009 4:25 PM PDT up reply actions
Because Torre will almost always save his closer for a lead on the road.
by Eric Stephen on Aug 12, 2009 4:18 PM PDT up reply actions
Because almost every manager saves their closer in x-tra innings
to close out the game or when there is nearly nobody left.
well broxton could have pitched 2 innings for the save
this is bullshit i cant believe torre used mota.. he gave away the game
I was certainly prepared for something like that to happen though
we can only be disappointed we didnt get to Timmy earlier, but I love giving him the ND, all that work for nothing : )
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Well, that ending sucked. I was listening but couldn’t comment yet…just went back to catch up and it seemed the Mota walk garnered more ire than the HR :)
because in my mind, the walk assured the loss one way or another
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Im not saying to dump the guy
I’m saying Mota shouldn’t have been in there before Broxton or Haeger.
Putting in Haegar would have meant agreeing to an "Anybody But Mota" strategy
why would Joe put in Haeger, he was the long man. Mota has actually pitched for Joe this year.
by Michael White on Aug 12, 2009 4:23 PM PDT up reply actions
This isn't a slump for Mota. he's regessing back to the pitcher he always was.
Its not as if his fastball is known for movement. He just threw a really straight fastball down the middle.
That’s not slumping, that’s just calling to get hit hard.
You don't bring in your closer tied on the road
so it was either Mota or a guy Torre has never used. Mota is pathetic, but not sure how Joe screwed things up.
Ya I agree they won the battle of attrition they really did deserve it
they got to our scub
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
if anything mota should not be used in the freaking extra innings
instead of using troncoso or belisario, you should have used mota and left one of them for the extra innings…..
BUT NOOOOOOOOOO torre thinks only veterans can withholld the PRessuressss of EXtra INNINGS!
i dunno you can argue using the better pitchers early
gave us a chance to win it
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
no
mota folds under pressure… like when he comes in with runners on base(pressure) When you are down by 2 or 1 there is not as much pressure as when its a tie game and 1 run looses the game
i guess, but a 1 run game in San Francisco is always pressure packed in my mind
and I agree that you dont play assuming there will be extra innings, i say do what you can to win it, and we almost stole one form under the Giants’ noses
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
but its less pressure
then a tie game in Extras
I don't you can predict in the 6th inning
That you are going into extra innings, you use your best during the first 9 if possible. Mota was saved to probably go at least 2 innings if needed before Broxton.
Blown Umpire Calls©: part of Major League baseball since 1869!
Having the Dodgers lose this game was almost worth hearing the collective panty know the Gints fans had gotten themselves into due to the poor umpiring. Funny shit…

Sweep would've been Sweet
but with the way were playing 2 out of 3 is very good.
We picked up a game on the Giants and lets hope the Rockies lose tonight, and we got 6.5 game lead with 47 games to go.
Were going to be saying that a ton
For the rest of the series. After we play the cards/cubs @ home next week, were going to be saying 2 out of 3 no excuses b/c our schedule is primarily made up with the dregs of the NL.
I think we can sweep the Snakes
Haren is cold now and they don’t send Garland who pitched very well earlier this year…
Look, I get it
Some of you really don’t like Mota but to place the blame on the last guy pitching in an extra inning just ignores everyone else who played prior to him..
The Dodgers couldn’t muster up more than 2 runs, that’s a bigger reason they lost this game.
well if mota gave us a chance
we might have been able to score more
I'll take 2 runs
Against Lincecum, but that’s me. I don’t think you can realistically expect five or six against the best pitcher in the NL.
I agree with the overall sentiment though. Every play could’ve swung the game in our favor.
2 runs is pretty good against him
and dont forget our bullpen was pitching the entire game
instead of bills so we were ok up until the 10th

WOW Randy wold does not sound at all what i thought he would
for anyone that still has junior dodgers playing in the background

Did he insult Joe Torre’s mother or something?

He was the designated long man in extras.
