San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers, Sep 19, 2009 1:10 PM PDT
The Dodgers have hit a home run in eight straight games, matching their longest streak of the season. They have hit 12 home runs over those eight games, compared to 15 hit from August 25 through September 2.
Joe Torre said in today's KABC pregame show that Chad Billingsley will make his scheduled start Wednesday in Washington, and that Clayton Kershaw will likely pitch out of the bullpen during that game "to get his feet wet." This is as close as we will come to seeing Phil's combo playoff starting duo experiment in action. Both Billingsley and Kershaw will throw bullpen sessions tomorrow.
Orlando Hudson is resting again today, as Joe Torre tries to get Hudson healthy for the playoffs. Torre mentioned the Dodgers "overdid it" earlier in the season, when Hudson played almost every day.
Here are today's lineups:
| Giants | Dodgers | |||
| LF | Velez | SS | Furcal |
|
| 2B | Sanchez |
RF | Ethier | |
| RF | Winn | LF | Manny |
|
| 3B | Sandoval | CF | Kemp | |
| SS | Uribe | 1B | Loney | |
| 1B | Ishikawa | 3B | Blake | |
| CF | Rowand | 2B | Belliard | |
| C | Whiteside | C | Martin | |
| P | Penny | P | Garland | |

“a huge internet sensation in 2004” :)
by Eric Stephen on Sep 19, 2009 12:41 PM PDT up reply actions
He has been awful so far. Luckily the offensive line has been dominant. 3rd & 13 from the 27 and they run a draw with Havili = no confidence in Corp. They got it to the middle of the field for an easier FG attempt.

David Norrie, analyst on ABC, talking about USC’s defensive losses from last season: “not only did they all go to the NFL, but they all went in the NFL draft”
I just rewound it…he is the quote: “They not only moved on to the NFL, they all went in the NFL draft”

Fly ball to LF, drifted back on Manny, and an easy catch turned into a 2-base error.
by Eric Stephen on Sep 19, 2009 1:13 PM PDT up reply actions
Manny went back to the track for a fly ball
Tried to catch it over his head and hit his glove and fell out.
mannys fielding is tolerable i guess
cause of that bat….
"That is not how you play the game!!!" -Jack in the Box
I’m not sure that catch, or lack thereof, makes him a dick. Rather, it does make him a horrible outfielder :)
by Eric Stephen on Sep 19, 2009 1:15 PM PDT up reply actions
as long as hes hitting and the dodgers r scoring runs
his terrible fielding is ok with me

Here's a weird stat
Rafael Furcal has now reached base 34 times as the first batter of the game (home and road) this season. The Dodgers are 25-8 in the previous 33 games.
“A transaction nobody paid attention to on the internet”
-Chris Rose, on Belliard.
WTF? What does that even mean? Chris Rose is reading the wrong sites
I disagree:
Most of the common fans I know, the kind that would watch a saturday baseball game if it’s on or follow a team semi-often to often were not really too sure how he got here. It’s really the small group of hard core guys who take pride in browsing trade blogs or dodger blogs that could tell you in a second that it happened.
Right, but it was much more likely to hear about the Belliard trade on the internet, especially for analysis of it, than any other type of media.
by Eric Stephen on Sep 19, 2009 1:44 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, that was the most likely place:
But even still, Garland and Thome over shadowed him quite a bit, especially the Tony Abreu aftermath. If you were to hear, it was honestly a few select and specific sites.
You know fox, by the internet, they mean "Foxsports.com/espn.com/si.com who of course likely threw it at the bottom of a game wrap-up for the evning.

It was a bomb into the middle of the Dodger bullpen. Gone off the bat.
by Eric Stephen on Sep 19, 2009 1:42 PM PDT up reply actions
glad these guys took 140 to figure out how to hit a ball
they would be scary with matt and timmy if this was the natural state of affairs
Man I’m one inning late and already miss the GS by Belliard!
You wanna know how great baseball is? The greatest basketball player ever left his sport to play baseball.
hahaha
mccovey chronicles was prasing brad penny then after the home run theyre saying
eat shit brady penny…hahahhaha

that was the giant strategy yesterday too...
"That is not how you play the game!!!" -Jack in the Box
This was news to me but
Steiner said on the radio that it looked like Billingsley and Kershaw would pitch on next Wednesday.
Jeremy Bates is shaving points
What the fuck was that! Uggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How is the Dodger game going?
Very odd play to end the half. A sneaky FG attempt
by Eric Stephen on Sep 19, 2009 2:04 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm legitimately worried
Corp fucking sucks, no wonder Barkley got the job.
Glad to hear we are pounding Penny.
Corp does suck so far
But washington has been getting the breaks. Refs threw some bad calls at USC, namely the Griffin personal foul on Locker. wtf???
That last drive was played poorly by SC.
Gambling for a first down with 20 something seconds to go and Washington to get the ball after the half.
this really blows that i cant even get highlights on gameday
damn these national tv blackouts
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.

Clever Commentary
We know Penny’s car has plenty of velocity, we just have no idea where it’s going :)
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!
Now that last game that Penny silenced our bats in (sans Russell Martin) is all worth it… the crushed aspirations of Gnats fans with Penny have gotta be huge right now.

kind of ambivalent about the Loney HR , can we call it a guest appearance of Road Loney?
at the 16 too! would have been 4th down…there goes 3 points

FAIL
It is most gratifying the Dodgers have been able to give Penny his first really big dose of FAIL in the NL this year.
Yep. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

With Aaron Corp at the controls, USC’s offense never got going. And Washington was all too happy to take advantage
