Not sure if anyone has mentioned this
but McCutchen looks like jar jar binks.
wtf is this
anti dodger hochevar hitting 97 on the gun
16 ground outs
well I guess he was the number 1 pick for a reason
Dave - Your man Sammy Gervichio went on the DL after you made fun of him

If Blake still had the beard, they wouldn’t have asked him to bunt

No
the closest was a DT wiffle ball game two summers ago that Dave Young, RobotMan, JJ and yours truly kicked ass

with first base open
I’m still waiting for the overwhelming evidence that Torre is a good manager

Nothing
Torre won’t bring him in on the road unless it’s a save situation (unless it’s a situation where he needs work)

but they put it back

Per Monday
If Belliard delivers, we see Broxton. If not – Ortiz.
so basically if he doesn’t deliver – we lose.
2-2, 2 outs
to Belliard. Loney steals 3B

Alas ,it's the innocent view who suffers
If we yield now, all is over; but if we fight, there is yet a hope that we may stand upright
Looks like our new 2nd baseman is going cost us this game
at bat and in the field. Growing pains
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Yes but if Millidge scores
this will be laid on his feet after his failure in the top and bottom of the 10th

Glad I'm not watching on TV anymore
I’m sure Lyons is ranting about “productive outs” right now.
Ryan Church
with a chance to drop the dagger two games in a row.
Walk might not be the worst thing here...
It sets up another DP opportunity.
Or another chance for DeWitt to kick it, anyway.
Fuck yeah, Honeycutt up to signal the 3 run homer.

The Clippers suck
They got it to 15-14, scored like 8 straight, then barely missed a dunk for the lead, and now they are down 22-14.
OK I'm normally against Clipper hate
but Prime Ticket can go fuck itself. Seriously.

Well I'm sold
Ramon totally learned out to pitch in Japan.
Apparently some things should stay in the scrapheap
If we yield now, all is over; but if we fight, there is yet a hope that we may stand upright
Lets see, if they score we lose. Our best pitcher is in the pen. Yes, i feel it is a good idea to keep in there in hopes that they dont score and we do score in the next inning.

you've gotta be fucking kidding me
I can quasi-accept a loss. But THROW some strikes, please! At least let THEM beat us. Sheesh.
The clippers are the red headed stepchild of the lakers.
Russ did ok today. Maybe I’ll give him a chance.

Ned saw the top of Ramon’s head in his crotch

He certainly pitched better than almost every pitcher the Dodgers had pitch more than 2 IP
Again, Ortiz probably should not have had to pitch if other people do the job. He’s like the 6th reason the Dodgers lost today.
Obviously, the game should have been over before he came in. The point is that he is still Ramon Ortiz, and 20 innings of ST doesnt change that fact. He shouldnt be on this team when there are more capable pitchers behind him.
The Second Coming of Jeff Weaver
If we yield now, all is over; but if we fight, there is yet a hope that we may stand upright
Well, at least our best pitcher was in to try and keep the game alive
Wait, you mean Broxton is still on the roster?????
D’OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phuckin’ A, this blows!!!!

An Ortiz Too Far
If we yield now, all is over; but if we fight, there is yet a hope that we may stand upright
When you get beat by Ronny Cedeno
Its time to retire. Bye Ramon, it was hell knowing you.
torre is a tactical geniuis
lol..
you are funny
So when are Kuo and Belisario back?
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
I’m very pissed at torre for not using broxton. Extend the game when it is tied, dont throw out garbage like ortiz.
But don't forget Kershaw
burned out after 4 2/3 forced the team to use Weaver for one batter, the Dodger s can’t get a hit with RISP. When you lose a game with your 6th pitcher in extra innings, it is not all that guy’s fault.
Again, thats not the point. With 2 on and 1 out in the bottom of the 10th, the managers job is to give the team the best chance to win. no matter how the runners got where they did, Broxton coming in gives the team the best chance to extend the game. Even by using Broxton, Monk and Haeger are still left, which is fine for the rest of the night. You have to extend the game, and leaving in Ortiz was just the wrong decision.
I understand your point
But you are asking for something that no manager in baseball ever does, certainly not in game 2 of the season.
Just because no manager does it (which is not completely true) doesnt mean it is correct. It is still a huge mistake that shouldn’t be overlooked.

The Bucs are supposed to be the easy button. This sucks.
by Skunkburner on Apr 7, 2010 8:09 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
There’s no “easy button” in MLB, anyone can beat anyone.

60% win probability
is like putting two bullets in a five bullet chamber and putting it to your head and pulling the trigger. Anything can happen when you have a 2 out of 5 chance of losing.
vr, Xei
ya know, even though spring training doesn't count and all
it is a LITTLE bit eye opening that the Dodgers haven’t won since March 29th…and that INCLUDES split squads.
Then they change to the clippers game. Talk about kicking you when your down.

Everyone failed, not just Ortiz. Only ones who didn’t were middle relief
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Again, the issue is
someone is going to have to step up and pitch some innings, if you want the Ortizs and Weavers off the team, then have some guys start getting into the 7th inning.
and only 1/2 a game behind the World Champion Rockies
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Its a shame
someone needs to rip some peoples ass’s, this is the ugliest ive seen the dodgers play in a long time. DeWitt can’t play second, and i have no faith in our now lackluster bullpen.
Lol
And I thought Mookie’s comment was funny
by Julio Nievas on Apr 7, 2010 8:27 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Also
Didn’t the pen through shut out ball tonight, except for Ramon Ortiz?
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.

People who actually don’t know anything about this team annoy the shit out of me because they think since the Dodgers didn’t improve they are worse.
It’s the same damn team as last year except for 4-6 players, and 2 of them were more than LRP or bench players.
Not sure what has been more frustrating
Watching this start to the season, the Lakers’ struggles, or the cowards that ran out there for the USC football team this past year.
I am fairly sure that this year's USC team
Was probably middle of the pack at best, frankly the way Barkley played at times its amazing they won some of the games they did.
Maybe Torre is giving Ramon the Vader Speech
If we yield now, all is over; but if we fight, there is yet a hope that we may stand upright
