Dodgers Sweep Away All Worries, Pirates

we win!
this is the first sweep in quite a while….
i believe the series vs reds was the last occurrence

Endre vs. Mariano Rivera with the world championship at stake.

I guess Torre wanted to preserve Manny’s Bobble-head record

Nice.

it sounds better if you say it out loud. that’s all i got.

missed the Belliard homer but i had to get back to work. Nice break.

First time I’ve ever been the to business day game in the middle of the week and found a crowd. On Stadium Way we had a fire truck blocking lane one off of Elysian Park. Then the lines were crazy long but I didn’t notice them checking the bags any better then before. I did notice they did not have all the turnstyles open with scanner people. Then the food stands on the far ends of the Loge were closed which is normal for a weekday game. EXCEPT this was a sold out game, so either someone did some terrible planning or they were just unable to get enough trained workers for a weekday game since most of the people who work at DT in the concessions are doing so as a 2nd job.

Anyway, nice game, nice scantily clad fans.

by myself, and Kemp is up and the count is 0 – 2. I say to myself Andre had the count 2 – 0 and then struckout, I wonder if Kemp can do the reverse and before I can even finish the thought he hits the laser bomb to right center. Nice

Dodgers now up 3 for best record with the Cardinals loss. Glad to see Kemp hit a bomb!

BS

Hudson is a ball magnet. Watching Belliard in their I would still want Hudson if he was hitting 200. The dude can fly like superman.

Pitching isn’t the only reason the Dodgers have one of the best team ERAs in baseball.

I’d say Hudson’s statement basically means Dodger’s have the same chance of signing him as anyone else.

You know you don’t believe that. You might believe that Hudson is Jose Lind with the glove but I doubt if you’d support a 2nd baseman hitting .200. Hudson looks good at 2nd because he followed a 2nd baseman with no range so anything looks good. He gobbles up many flyballs that either Kemp or Andre would catch easily. He refuses to get his hand down when making tags and balls to his right just seem to be a problem. He’s a solid defensive 2nd baseman but he’s no Maz and he’s not worth 8 – 10 million. If he signs a two year deal then I’d probably do it at 16/2 but if he wants three years from 24-30 Million I’m letting him walk without turning back. Torre must like Belliard or he wouldn’t be playing him so much since Hudson is not hurt.

I’m sorry I’m so tardy with this, but your photo captions ALL YEAR have been truly beautiful. You truly should be proud of yourself because they make me laugh. It’s tough to make me laugh. It’s not so tough to make me smirk or smile. However if you actually make me laugh at something I read on the internets, then hats off to you, good sir.

Pits the lucky Matt Cain (in 2009) vs the slightly unlucky Jorge de la Rosa. All Colorado really needs to do is take one out of these three games. They are down to their last chance this evening.
vr, Xei

999 times in a 1000 chances.

When do we start mailing it in?

Do we have a favorite if the wild card comes from the NL West?

Doesn’t seem to make much difference to me.

I’m sure Torre will keep some sense of urgency to keep the player’s heads in the game, but realistically, its time to start planning the post-season.
