from last thread

You know what, as much as we(myself included) love to pick on kent, if he can drag his tired body out of bed to do something like that...then let him scream at our young guys all he wants, I just want us to get fired up! come on boys!! right NOW!...don't let this one get away now

2.   ucladodger
also from last thread-

how cam Lou not have double switched when he brought in Marmol? He's too good to use for only 2/3 of an inning when he can easily go more. Marmol>>>>>>>>>>>>Howry

we were just kind of chatting & he just kind of hit it out.
2008-06-05 21:45:18
4.   Alex41592
Old guys getting it done tonight, Kent and Sweeney. Kemp, Ethier, Martin and Loney are not (1 for 13). We need them all to win.
2008-06-05 21:45:21

man I wish i had me one of them bobble heads..
2008-06-05 21:46:18

That dive into the concrete looked painful for Ethier.

Saito gets down to business with Lee.

Saito has that, I just woke up look no?
2008-06-05 21:50:18

come back with a fastball here no, vemos.

Excellent acting job by Aramis.
2008-06-05 21:51:42
13.   Bluebleeder87
that ball tailed quit a bit at the end, woah.
2008-06-05 21:51:50
14.   LoneStar7
that hit him?
2008-06-05 21:51:56
15.   ucladodger
I abolutely hate that call by Russ. No reason to try to waste a pitch with a 2-2. Aramis was so confused that any pitch probably would have gotten him.
2008-06-05 21:53:50
16.   Bluebleeder87
sneak in the slider here Saito...

our late inning relievers have gone down the toilet.

I need to stop watching sports or for that matter working in sports. They're going to kill me slowly.

Oh Boo-urns.

You gotta hand it to Fukudome it was a nice battle that Saito lost.
2008-06-05 21:59:24
22.   ucladodger

Yup. cant remember the last time Saito was sharp. Same with Brox, but i attribute his recent failures to that period of overuse.

2008-06-05 21:59:54

That's why we got to keep draft relievers ;)

2008-06-05 22:02:40
25.   Alex41592
I think it is a safe assumption to say this will be Takashi Saito's last season. But I felt this way before the season and it has nothing to do with his recent troubles.
2008-06-05 22:02:41
26.   Bluebleeder87

plus we're playing a hot team right now, it's a combo of a few things I guess.

What an incredible slide by Loney!

James The Terrible!
2008-06-05 22:05:16
32.   ucladodger
I think that was a good call, but jeeze, James.
2008-06-05 22:05:18
33.   Eric Stephen
Opponents are hitting .207/.278/.299 against Saito. Sure he's been off at times (3 blown saves) but other than the McLouth HR he really hasn't been that bad.
2008-06-05 22:05:28
34.   Bob Hendley
Aggresive!
2008-06-05 22:05:45

he definitely gambled there, buzzkill if he wouldn't have made it THAT'S FOR SURE.

Yes!

Just a little gumption, please.

DeWitt showing he can turn on a K-Wood fastball.
2008-06-05 22:07:43
39.   natepurcell
Ah, Dewitt was our best chance.
2008-06-05 22:07:45

Oh my gosh that pitch was great

Who's the PH?

He was dreadful in his last outing against the Cubs.

2008-06-05 22:08:11
43.   Bluebleeder87
wup, nasty pitch to DeWitt.
2008-06-05 22:08:13
44.   Eric Stephen
Was the kill pitch to DeWitt a slider or curve? Comcast gun said 81 MPH, but the break almost looked curvish to me. Brenly called it a slider.
2008-06-05 22:09:01
45.   LoneStar7
I've learned to enjoy the little things with this team, seeing loney chug along into second was pure...well heres our last chance
2008-06-05 22:09:10
46.   Eric Stephen

Right, and that's a rare occurrence. No need to start lighting the torches and storming the castle yet.
2008-06-05 22:09:34
47.   Bob Timmermann
I think Terry Tiffee should be sent to the minors and replaced by Jerry Jpeg.
2008-06-05 22:09:41
48.   ucladodger
Wow, they were playing so shallow. Thats a hit if they are regular depth.
2008-06-05 22:09:48
49.   Andrew Shimmin
It's Tiffee.
2008-06-05 22:10:35

Tiffee really looks like Alex Cora up there.
2008-06-05 22:11:00

I was hoping it might be Furcal. Ah well, Tiffee...
2008-06-05 22:11:10

Or Frank Gifford.

Thank you Kerry. Tiffee didnt have a chance.

4 for 16 Pierre vs. Wood

This is a perfect time for the Jake Taylor play!

This is the guy who lost his 3rdbase job to LaRoche in Las Vegas?

i'll streak around the block if he hits one out..
2008-06-05 22:12:30

Tiffee takes one for the team... Ron Stilanovich style!
2008-06-05 22:12:49
62.   Bob Timmermann
The Padres won tonight when Scott Schoeneweis walked three batters and then hit another to force in the winning run.

Let's aim for that!

2008-06-05 22:13:08
63.   Bob Hendley
JP, all is forgiven. Just get a hit (and Bob will buy 100 jerseys).
2008-06-05 22:14:01

I promise to go a week without saying anything bad about Pierre for a RBI hit.

It's Bison time.

O.K. This definitely qualifies as high drama.
2008-06-05 22:16:09

or walk, if you'd like (Mr. Goodeye).
2008-06-05 22:16:14
73.   Jacob Burch
At 1-2, I said "If this was DeWitt, I'd say a walk is possible, but no way..."

One way to prove me wrong, JP

2008-06-05 22:16:14

Piniella trying to direct the OF. Too bad they can't position themselves in the bleachers.
2008-06-05 22:16:28
75.   Bluebleeder87
I'm hoping Kemp sits on a fastball.
2008-06-05 22:16:39
76.   berkowit28
Mr. Clutch (hmmm)
2008-06-05 22:16:41

If Wood hits him, and he charges the mound before touching first, is the game still tied?

Yes as long as the Dodgers have a pinch runner available.

He cannot hit a fastball.
2008-06-05 22:18:35

The camera turned away before Kemp broke his bat. Did it break over his knee or did it embarassingly not break?

Its a good thing the Lakers are here to distract Plashke, or he'd be all over this game.
2008-06-05 22:20:19
96.   ucladodger
That last AB was pretty awful, obviously. He tried to hit hat 2-0 pitch about 600 feet, and then was about half a second late on the last fastball. Yuck.
2008-06-05 22:20:30
97.   JoeyP
Kemp with terrible discipline on the 2-0 pitch.

This team is not very good.

2008-06-05 22:20:42
98.   Alex41592
Swung at a 2 and 0 fastball three feet above his head, took strike two and swung right through a fastball down the middle for strike three.
2008-06-05 22:20:56
99.   LoneStar7
89 basically you don't wanna know after kemp swings at a 2-0 pitch up around the eyes, pathetic
2008-06-05 22:22:31
100.   LoneStar7
94 it absolutely did, we were in k woods head, but then we let him off the hook by swinging at a ball up above the head
