Giants Punish Dodgers as (their) Bats Wake Up

The game got a bit out of hand early in this one. After both clubs exhibited brilliant pitching in the first two games of the series, the San Francisco bats woke up as they beat down the Dodgers 10-2. Ted Lilly was charged with the loss in this one, lasting only 3.1 and giving up 6 earned runs. Aubrey Huff led the charge, hitting a triple and home run off of Lilly, with Buster Posey right behind him hitting a home run of his own off Lilly.
Jonathan Sanchez was excellent for the Giants, going 7 innings and only surrendering 2 runs (1 earned.) Sanchez also struck out a career high 12 in the contest. After the bullpen got through with the Dodgers, the team finished with 14 strikeouts in total.
A few milestones for the Dodgers in this game. Congratulations to Russ Mitchell for recording his first major league hit, a home run in the 5th against Sanchez. Matt Kemp reached a less pleasant milestone today, tying the Dodgers franchise record for strikeouts in a season with 153. Interestingly, the Dodgers noted that Matt Kemp currently has the longest consecutive games played streak in baseball, 189 consecutive games after tonight.
The win was a big one for San Francisco, as they took over first play in the NL West as a result. The Dodgers now head home to play a 3 game set against Colorado and try to do a better job at spoiling this time around.
WP - Jonathan Sanchez (11-8): 7 IP, 4 hits, 2 runs, 1 earned run, 12 strikeouts
LP - Ted Lilly (8-11): 3.1 IP, 7 hits, 6 earned runs, 3 strikeouts

it was Kinbote
except he wanted the ship to hit an iceberg.

Does Frank McCourt still attend games in his box seats?
I’d be interested to hear the reception he gets…if he does.
Yeah
he was there last homestand, Molly Knight is correct in this sense, despite what you may think from outside LA, despite the Dodger Talk calls, message boards, blogs and letters to the editor, there are not many boos and certainly no protests.
but its also hard to boo someone in the stands
through out the whole game. i would be curious what would happen if he like stood up or waved or something.
i agree
because it puts him on the spot, a place in which its easier to boo at. just being in the crowd, theres no focus to boo upon
what about cat calls?
like:
You suck Frank?
Sell the team Frank?
You’re a crook Frank?
etc.

again, that might be happening
but throughout the 9 innings, its more of a painful drizzle of spite rather than one or two focused attacks, you know?
I really believe
that while you might think that and even want to do that, very few people will do that to someone that is right in front of them (at least someone not wearing a uniform)

yeah remember DT Night?
We all couldn’t stand the guy and only scareduck could muster any sort of charge on him
He did not muster any charge against him
He was bothered by the automatic door closer during most of the talk. Unless my memory is faulty, most questions were polite and certainly none were pointed.
by bhsportsguy on Sep 16, 2010 10:12 PM PDT up reply actions
And I am not saying he should have
It was impolite to go after someone who invites you to a discussion at his place when he doesn’t have to do that.
by bhsportsguy on Sep 16, 2010 10:13 PM PDT up reply actions
hahah that door was amazing(ly annoying)
i just remember him being hte most pointed out of all the the questions (which were very polite and i agree with you that is how it should have gone… but its just funny how we respect that when we ahve such anger)
He sits in the same area
when he is there and he never stays in the seat for the whole game (that is not unusual, he did that in past years too).

And again
it’s not going to bother him anyway, it’s not like he was beloved before all this happened.
by bhsportsguy on Sep 16, 2010 10:07 PM PDT up reply actions
agreed
the thing that will really bother him will be all of the empty seats for the remainder of the home games.

He already has my money
regardless if I show up or not. All those tickets on stub hub, he has that money too.
Frankly, the less money he makes this year, the less he has to pay for revenue sharing.

NL West Title Probabilities
updated to reflect tonight’s massacre.
1. Giants 57.04%
2. Padres 30.68%
3. Rockies 12.28%
4. Dodgers 0.0003%
I had to update my program to run one million instead of 50K iterations of the remaining season to get the Dodgers number to be non zero.
We still got this
No worries mate…

Needs moar pornstache.
This is the truth…I felt bad for you folk tonight.
That is, after all my drunken yelling.
Our offense shows up two nights out of six.
That just happened to be Night Two.
My condolences to Reed Johnson’s self image.

Angeles Ashes
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Dodgers have a chance to get the 12th pick in the draft.
But they have to fight the Astros and Angels for it as they’re separated by two losses.
Are we supposed to root for that?
I just can’t get excited about the 12th pick vs the 14th or 15th. I am tired of them losing. And if he’s still around am confident Logan will find ’em a good player wherever the pick is.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
So they should draft 7th then? ;-)
That would be great. But 12 vs 14/15 doesn’t mean Kershaw vs someone crummier.

Not sad I missed the game tonight
Glad for Russ Mitchell, getting off the schneid in a big way.
I saw two movies, MaGruber first and Kick Ass second. I will just say I am glad I watched them in that order, and that one of those films was ridiculously great. I will let you decide which one.
Kick Ass kicked ass imho
but was super dark/violent. But cool. Didn’t see MacGruber but heard from some that it was funnier than critics gave it. Was it? Or lame?

I enjoyed Kick Ass as well
McGruber I will give a shot at some point but I’m not in any sort of hurry.
Almost every single reasonably funny part of MacGruber was in the trailer. I went into it fully expected stupid humor, and it couldn’t even deliver that.

That's like the comment
in the commentary of “Kamp Krusty” episode of the Simpsons. Apparently after Jim Brooks viewed the episode, he told the writing staff he wanted to use that as the movie, the writers came back and said we couldn’t even write 18 minutes of material for the episode, how will we do 80 minutes.

Sorry :-(
I’m kinda glad I didn’t go. Didn’t want to have to deal with that if they did lose. Didn’t expect the game to be quite that bad though. A bummer. They really just crapped the bed this week.

what made it worse were these 2 dodger girls sitting behind me were really obnoxious! talk about high-pitched

Ivan De Jesus had a decent year in AAA for the Topes this year
http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=SS&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=474443
But I wonder where he ranks among our prospects now? I think he could be an MLB average 2B, or maybe slightly below, but what does that mean for his prospect status, which is clearly nowhere near as high as after 2008.
I’d say he’s a B- prospect because he plays 2B and he had a not bad season in AAA, and could be MLB ready for 2011.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Setting the bar for "gullible"
I brought up DeJesus’ B/R numbers.

Really agree with these comments from O'Malley
In my judgment, it would be best for the franchise and the city if there was new ownership
The issue is not community property," O’Malley told the Times. “The issue is that, from what we have all learned in the documents filed in the proceeding, we now know how they have used the Dodgers.”
The Dodgers need to be owned by a small but diverse group of Los Angeles people who understand the culture of the organization and the importance of the Dodgers in this city," he said.
I've been surprised...
…how quickly some have been to dismiss O’Malley’s comments, and instead focus on Frank’s lawyer’s assertion that Frank would keep the team and pass it on to his kids. What else could a Frank lawyer say in the middle of a multi-million trial to decide the ownership of the team? Seems to me that if Frank wins, as I assume he will, he’ll still need to hand Jaime enough cash that he’s going to need team investors, money men who have to be approved by Selig and the owners. Is it outrageous to think that they might support an O’Malley group? Is it impossible that such a group would not want Frank to maintain control? They key right now is simply how much the ex takes Frank for. Call it wishful thinking—it may well be—but I wonder if we’re starting to see the lay of the ground change.
"There’s no reason I can give you that makes sense. A lot of what I do is a feel thing."
