There was a time where I was in a chat room and talking without knowing another thread started 10 minutes before

Yah, watching my Sharks in a tough one
Great game. Hoping they don’t once again choke early in the playoffs.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Sigh
Now Krukow is implying that Padilla may have purposely loaded the bases hitting Rowand on purpose as “payback” for Kemp being knocked down earlier. This is how Giants fans get all riled up about the Dodgers, by listening to a lot of one-sided nonsense from their media for years.

Oh
I thought you were making fun of John Kruk

Mike Krukow, former pitcher, now Giants analyst
He’s fairly good but also a total homer.

I know
Lets put some pressure on this guy
by Julio Nievas on Apr 16, 2010 8:51 PM PDT up reply actions
Bases loaded and no one out
seems like pretty good pressure to me. ;-)
And he fails. Another Blake DeWalk!

He has had 2 bases loaded walks though…
NOW THREE

Going into today
7 guys had 10+ walks in MLB. David Wright was tops with 13
by Eric Stephen on Apr 16, 2010 8:56 PM PDT up reply actions
In DeWalk's DeFense...
they actually have to throw a strike for him to DeHit it.
>;-)
Hopefully LA will get decent usage of the bullpen
And by tomorrow the two teams’ ’pens will be more in line with each other. I worried going into the series that one bad game for LA could really snowball the series…
Probability of Padilla getting plunked here
45%
Gotta love not having the stupid DH rule. Old West justice.
vr, Xei
They plunk Padilla and Casey Blake might charge the mound
Blake seems to be the only one taking the rivalry seriously in recent history
haha ya that would have been great
always love a little nastiness in the rivalry, as long as no one gets hurt too badly
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
But that's a moot point now
Padilla headed to the 6th
Padilla had the patented Andruw Jones smirk after making the out
But of course you expect that from pitchers, not from overpaid fat cows like Jones…
Since Andruw had that smirk
pretty much since he was 19, you’d be crazy not to expect it
AKA he didn’t suck with the Dodgers because of that smirk.

think it was thrown back at least
heard some cheers

Vin telling more stories then I remember
good ones
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
I go to the bathroom
and Panda hits one out? Ok that’s it. I’m not leavin this keyboard till we get a W.
HQ said 40 home runs this year
I traded Cargo for him in my root league so I could add another Dodger.
Martin, DeWitt, Furcal, Loney, Andre, and Kemp – going to give me some wins this week
Outfield is Upton/Kemp/Andre
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
I’ve heard he has a log book but that may be a rumor. If so though it would be an amazing thing to publish posthumously. I don’t know what we’ll do without this guy…
Because the man is a pro
The ability to tell a story, weave in play by play and get out on time is a skill most broadcasters cannot dream of having.
great pitching, including the home run to Panda
challenge these guys as much as possible. It’s a 7 6 run lead. So what if the only great hitter on the team hits a solo shot?
Ever since Padilla got past the 5th...
he’s been feeling much better.
:-)
Before MLB.tv I saw maybe 3 games per year on ESPN or FOX or TBS
But I did see the one where Piazza got hit in the head and blood ran down his face.
You are just lucky none of us are A.J. Pierzynski…we would have demonstrated too!

I told Eric
I would buy him a steak when either 1) A Dodger hits for the cycle; 2)First guy to hit 3HR in a game.
dammit, he definitely had that without the foot slip
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
I seem to remember
Rickey Henderson doing that on a game where he was either about to tie or break the record for single steals in a game.
Does stealing with a 9 -3
lead show that Joe is worried about the bullpen or Kemp trying to pad his stats
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Probably both
and that Kemp always has a green light
by Eric Stephen on Apr 16, 2010 9:11 PM PDT up reply actions
Giants learn their lesson
don’t FUCK with Andre!
avs and wings both go up 4-3
I may need to leave my computer soon and watch versus..

What the origin of the family name Padilla means....
Spanish: named from Spanish padilla ‘frying pan’, ‘breadpan’ (Latin patella, a diminutive of patina ‘shallow dish’), a word which was commonly used in the topographical sense of a gentle depression.
Or what is left on your head once a fastball leaves the surface after being pitched by a “Padilla”… Kind of fits right? Rowand understands.
I have a good friend named Padilla who is a dbacks fan, have gotten into the habit of asking him if he wants to go see his uncle pitch.

He never looks good
He’s a cross between a battletoad and Richard Ramirez – but he IS sure pitching well.

Would've looked good last outing if not for that stadium delay
threw him right off his game, too.
no pun intended on your part, I'm sure
(see Rowand, Aaron)

ARGH
Mike Krukow is STILL going on about Padilla hitting Rowand, and it was probably on purpose given his history, and the Giants aren’t buying that it wasn’t an accident, and yadda yadda. This is really tiresome.
He’s still fanning those flames.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
I do appreciate more Vin's even-handed broadcasting style
after hearing just about any other announcer or analyst. But this is how Giants fans get all riled up even more about the Dodgers, when they hear that kind of garbage.

Padilla's out of the doghouse...
but not quite away from the outhouse, yet.
Multi hits in every game on his home stand

Can't stand Slash ever since the breakup
The ex LOVES him. As soon as I heard Slash was going to play I changed it.
I think i’m going to have to take you out one of these days and teach you some things. what part of town you live in?
Do you live in Simi Valley? If so I live by Royal High. I think I’ve got pretty good music taste, and I’m actually pretty big into 80s stuff, but GNR doesn’t do anything for me, minus Paradise City (and obviously Welcome to the Jungle, no Dodger fan could ever hate that song).
I meant what part of LA. Yeah, too far for me. I was going to try to be like your cool uncle or something.

How many grand slams does Kemp have in the playoffs?
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
what was he talking about
I was too busy reading the comments, and I heard, “yadda yadda yadda Alice in Chains,” and I was all, “HUH?!”
He was describing Slash…saying he had quite a range…could play anything from…..(I forgot the first band) to Alice in Chains

Season Slugging so far the Dodgers:
Furcal: .432
Kemp: .773
Ethier: .733
Manny: .548
Johnson: .529
Loney: .362
Blake: .581
DeWitt: .208
Matin: .520
nothing makes me happier than seeing the giants wear the number of a former dodger
ahaha

I heard that he ran over an Indian woman with his car in the offseason.

The dangerous position of DeWitt
DeWitt was hot this spring but is cool in regulars. Belliard hit like crap in the spring but is hot now in regulars. I notice LA Times is starting to give up on DeWitt which is stupid
I agree
Give DeWitt time. He needs to gain some confidence and experience at 2nd, and he will start to hit. Clutch hit last night, and his patience at the plate will pay off, with walks now, and hopefully with hits later.

Am I right
in saying that 1 more run ties the Dodgers for best 10-game offensive output?
in LA, yes…for the first 10 games…69 runs in 2006 is the record.
They are are 68 now

Having to watch this game on the god damn Giants god damn feed
But, we’re winning, so like, whatever. Hic. God damn bay area school.
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!

didn't show it
he sucked, was a racist I have from someone who played with him

so what,
Casey Blake is still THE GREATEST DODGER 3B OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!

Why do you insist on disparaging a Penguin?
by Eric Stephen on Apr 16, 2010 9:38 PM PDT up reply actions
I see it more of a celebration of Blake
rather than a slam against the Penguin.
by Seanny Rotten on Apr 16, 2010 9:40 PM PDT up reply actions
Eric
have the Dodgers have players with slams who followed each other in the lineup?
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
And he's gonna walk Kemp to get to Ethier.
obviously Medders is thinkin’ . . . . . .I dunno what the hell he’s thinkin!
I'm okay with Russ pitching in this game
because it shows how little Joe has faith in him that he would waste him in this game
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
as far as I'm concerned
he has a 3 baserunner limit- and that’s TOTAL baserunners. If not, DFA tonight. Be nice about it, but make sure to be there in person to see that he receives his papers.
If Ortiz sucks here
the press announcer needs to DFA on the spot
by SeanMillerSavior on Apr 16, 2010 9:38 PM PDT reply actions
Kemp looking great tonight though.
Need to clone tonight’s Kemp and play him the rest of this season!
Man, Kemp seriously robbed there.
He’s already had a hell of a game, but damn, that would have been another 2 RBIs and more of a pad for Bombtiz.
Doesn’t work? Hmm….
I still don’t know what you are talking about

Ortiz can't suck now after what Padilla's done
it’s like a chain reaction of sorts.
KCAL having some "technical difficulties"
right when Ortiz comes in ha
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
Nah, DP ball more important
kept bullpen from being worked to death again.
;-)
Panda crushes pitcher's pitches.
Throw him one down the middle. That should do it, lol
time to give russ ortiz a large contract extension after that gem!!!
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
you passed out after accidently sniffing some paint thinner
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
just looking at the 1st inning at MCC
and its hillarious ,, , definitly lol worthy
by SeanMillerSavior on Apr 16, 2010 9:48 PM PDT reply actions
good news for Russ
that was a nice inning. The bad news? He’s got to do it again for the 9th.
I’ll say it one more time- THREE BASERUNNER LIMIT for your Dodger career.
Baseball gods look favorably on Dodgers once more
all because they snatched victory from the jaws of defeat last night. Makes all the difference.
This Just in. . . .
“The San Francisco Giants are making a formal protest to Major League Baseball on their loss to the Dodgers April 16, 2010 based on the events of the 8th inning, when Russ Ortiz got 3 consecutive Giants’ hitters to make an out.”
Loney back in line-drive mode
just like clockwork
If Blake hits a homerun here
I’ll even give RussO FOUR base runners for the continuation of his Dodger career.
Troncoso shouldnt even have to warm up
fucking ortiz
by SeanMillerSavior on Apr 16, 2010 9:57 PM PDT reply actions
Non-applicable of course under the Jeff Weaver Non-Rest Clause
Which makes Ortiz available to pitch every game for the rest of our lives
This is Russ Ortiz
Some pitchers miss bats… he’s mastered the ability to throw pitches that find bats.
I'll spot Russ an extra baserunner for his Dodger career
that really more credit for the hitter than blame for the pitcher
when the dodgers play the red sox later on this season
that series is gonna go down in history for having the most Ortizzeses
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
yeah i truly hope they are gone by then
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
It’s a third of an inning.
I would have brought in Monk though

If Ortiz cant close a game with a 7 run lead
hes need to get the fuck out
by SeanMillerSavior on Apr 16, 2010 10:05 PM PDT reply actions
I was willing to give him one more baserunner
apparently, Torre was not. I really do think we may have seen the last of Russ Ortiz tonight.
Russ ortiz is good for one thing...
I have uribe and derosa in my fantasy league. Hopefully this is his last call as a dodger.

This is an Awesome night
Ortiz shows he useless even in a blowout, he’ll be shipped out for sure.
Jackie Robinson night II RULES!
In Ortiz's defense
Strike 1 and Ball 4 were in essentially the same place according to gameday.

when your manager cant trust you with a 5 run lead….

Why exactly couldn't Padilla pitch the 8th?

I mean really!?
Was it that important to get someone to bat for him in the bottom of the 7th w/ the lead we had? Ugh!

should never have got that close

LACK OF PATIENCE- WOOHOO!
Oh, to tease the MMC & company like that. That was so cruel, Giants. SOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo cruel. hahahahahahaha
That's alright. Troncoso's only responsible for that one run.
However, Russ Ortiz days are finally numbered.
You know, I wish you were kidding.
I really do.

When the ginant score 8 runs on you
That’s a wake up call. I miss Mota compared to Oritz.
Are we going to just hit like the Phillies for the rest of the season, or is the pitching going to get better??
Pitching will obviously get better
Kuo and Bellisario are not with the club yet. Starters only need to throw more first-pitch strikes.
Wow. I’m so glad I didn’t watch that last half inning. I think I might’ve thrown up after that homer.
I was a long way from LA back when the Dodgers blew that 8 run lead to the Phillies
but I do remember it very clearly, because I lived in the Philly area. I just started to flash back to that right now.
Tron gave up those runs to teach Ortiz a painful lesson
clean up your own damn mess!!!
>;-D
What's the weather gonna be like tomorrow?
could help Haeger’s chances greatly…
Last time Lincecum was in Dodgers Stadium Dodgers won 6-3 9/20/09
W: Wolf (11-6, 3.24);
L:Lincecum (14-6, 2.47)
HR: SF: Torres 2 (5).
LAD:Ethier (31).
We could only hope for some more of the same. I said hope.
