who do you like?
obviously i like the dodgers...
i think we have the best pitching in the NL..well..that ones actually a fact...and you know the saying, 'pitching wins titles'. our hitting is good right now..but not all that it could be. we have a couple of guys slumping in october..even though loney has come through for us with some clutch hits, he only has 3 hits. ethier only has 1 hit!! if ethier gets hot, and loney gets more consistent, then we will be unstoppable. we have everything working for us right now. the long ball AND the small ball. hit n runs, bunt for singles with the bases loaded...and NO stolen bases! with speedsters like furcal, martin, kemp, look for that to change starting on thursday.
and out pitching...lights out. LIGHTS OUT.
Dodgers in 6.
-
dodgers in 6
-
Even though Ethier had 1 hit, he also has 4 walks to give himself an OBP of 357, tied with Martin. And part of the reason why Loney was able to drive in so many runs.
-
Lets go LA
-
damn im on my own, it will be hard, but we can do it.
-
Phillies in 6
Lidge will be the x factor
-
someone will win it in 6
I know the Dodgers will be cool at home, just concerned about Citizens Bank
it's all up the pitching to keep whatever offense we get in the game
then again, every game against the Cubs they scored within 3 innings so maybe that helped the pitching more
-
ima go bold and say Phils sweep.
somebody had to guess it. ;)
-
as long as our pitching stays tight i don't see us losing. i'm not concerned with lowe or billingsley but kuroda sure does worry me, kershaw is still suspect to me as well.

kuroda needs to do what he did in game 3. he has been inconsistent all year, and now is not the time for 'batting practice kuroda' to show up. i think he will be fine though..our pen is simply amazing, in case he gets into trouble.
kershaw does worry me a bit too, but not as much as maddux. one of these two is gonna start one of the LCS games..does torre go with the inexperienced kershaw, who has been great his last few starts..or does he go with the experienced maddux, who has been very inconsistent since we traded for him? if maddux is on, he is still lights out..if he is off..well, you know what happenes.
torre could also do a platoon start, have one of em go 4 innings, and the other one, the other 4, with saito or broxton closing it out..
-
hopefully brox
-
according to the LA Times, the job Broxton did Saturday (and what Saito did Thursday) may have earned him the closer role...
-
broxton reached 101MPH on saturday!!
idk if it was our regular speed gun (for some reason our gun adds 2mph), if it was, then it was only 99mph.

I've heard Vin Scully say a few times that the guns are a few mph than it really is

yeah, idk why they didnt change the gun..maybe some sort of rule that they cant change radar guns mid-season. i find it funny when a visiting teams broadcaster call the game, and dont know that lil fact, get all excited when brox reaches '100-101'.

I'm not worried about Kershaw at all.

Dodgers sweep... 8)

i wonder about those things. it seems like when i watch Joba on the Yankees network, he throws like 94-96...then you turn on FOX in like a Red Sox/Yankees series, Joba's "hitting" 99-100. strange... ???
-

I wouldn't say it's that out of control, usually see a lot in the range of 95-98 which is pretty fuckin fast
-
just like expected, Broxton is the designated closer now
Saito looked so fuckin terrible and weak against the Cubs that Torre might leave him off the roster for the NLCS

no doubt Joba throws fuckin hard, just on FOX he throws like 5 MPH faster than on the YES Network.

-
fuckin manny, coudlnt do it 2s, he got a new hairdoo, hamels is over 50 pitches already and its just 3rd, jeez!
-

Lidge is a filthy animal. who are the probables for game 2?
-

Myers and Billingsley
-
tough loss..we shoulda won this game. oh well...we gotta come back and win tomorrow..bills will be LIGHTS OUT!
saito done?
they left him off the roster for the LCS...the dodgers had a couple simulated games on monday, and his command just wasnt there. the dodgers didnt wanna risk it...broxton is the closer and kuo takes saitos spot on the roster.
-
Lights- Out.
lowe got rocked, 3 days rest for game for, bring it
-

that hasnt been decided yet..it could be kershaw or even maddux..though, the latter is probably not too likely.
-
the latter, def not likeley, dont just put it on old lidge, hamels had an AMAZIng game 8 ks, i just found out im going to the game tomorrow, so hells yea
-
Dodgers are still winning in 6 games. :)
-

yeah, he pitched an awesome game..lowe did too..up until the 6th. all in all a good game..still pissed about that furcal error, though. if it hadnt been for that, it woulda been tied..assuming they still woulda hit the two HRs. but shit happens, cant dwell on it..its only game 1. we just gotta come out blasting, tomorrow.

you should of won this game? how the fuck do you figure that? I watched every pitch of this game and I just dont see how you think the Dodgers SHOULD have won this game

calm down sparky.
we shoulda won because we had plenty of chanced to be leading by more than 2 runs in the 6th. we didnt get the timely hits..and we were unlucky with that blast manny hit. a couple of feet to the right, or a couple of feet higher and it woulda been a homer.
coulda/shoulda/woulda. it doesnt matter, we lost, but i feel we shoulda won. simple as that.
-
Dodgers are going to win game 2.
Anybody going to watch the game since it's going to be on at 1 PM?
-
i'll be at work.
fucking furcal! that's all i have to say!
-
i'll be at work.
fucking furcal! that's all i have to say!
in todays game hes gonna go 3-3, a hr, 3 rbi, a sb, and two walks.
at least i hope ;)
-
they wont throw to him, that rbi was a mistake, wont happen again,
-
wow, way to go Dodgers
a championship team always gives up 4 runs with 2 out early in the game
what a piece of shit, why do I bother watching sports? ;D
-
this is fucking awful.
fuck.
:(
-
holy fucking shit.
its only the third fucking inning.
FUCK!
-
MANNY BEING MANNY PUTS US RIGHT BACK INTO IT!!
8-2 before...two men on, 2 out, manny homers to make it 8-5
come on god damit!!
-
Matt Kemp swings at THE WORST pitches
-
embarrassing at-bat by Nomar
is it that hard for these retards to lay off that fuckin pitch by Lidge?
-
wow...game 3 probables?
-

-
la la la, that was a fun time, fuckin manny giving us unessesary stress, i dont know wat myer was thinking in that inning, but 3 for 3, 3 rbi, sick shit, but yeat, now im def confident in philly, in 6
-
i feel confident in my prediction too. ;)
-
if everyone wins there home games like has happen all year long then we need to take care of business at home and take one on the road... and that looks hard.... but Dodger Stadium better be ELECTRIC come Sunday, Monday (I will be there) and Wednesday
-
^ la fans got nothing on philly
-
^ la fans got nothing on philly
thats obvious. the majority of LA fans have always been viewed around the country as some of the worst and most non passionate, obviously there are exceptions and some of those exceptions are on these forums so NO I am not being a hater but the fact is most people view LA fans in a pretty negative manner.

how does that make sense? dude everywhere has MORONS for fans
go to a Dodger game, look around and you see idiots, go to a Padres game, look around and you see idiots
if you really know about going to a baseball game then you'd know that while YOU are trying to watch the game
there are people more worried about getting food and walking around and looking at the sky then the 3 and 2 pitch with a runner on 3rd
don't be retarded and think like everyone else.... Dodger fans least passionate? how about all those games played in the state of Florida with 1,000 fans
also to dispell whatever nonsense you hear, the Dodgers are always in the Top 3 in attendance, every year there's more than 3,000,000
how does that equal the worst fans in baseball? I'm curious.... fans are the same everywhere, trust me
my brother went to Yankee Stadium a few years ago and wasn't impressed at all, stop listening to all these fags who think they know what they're talking about
-
^^Man I know every team has stupid fans, thats obvious. All I said is around the country most fans view LA fans as some of the worst, a lot of LA fans are notorious for getting to the game in the 3rd inning, talking on their cell phones until the 6th inning and leaving to head home in the 7th inning. Yes every team has dumb fans but LA fans are often viewed as some of the worst, I'm just stating the facts man, obviously there are some great LA fans to

I know, it's not like I think you made it up
it's just one of those things that holds no weight, where does it come from?
go to a Dodger game and tell me it's quiet and nobody has gear on and shit like that
it's just one of those dumb city stereotypes...
like as if I were to say in a serious manner "Giants fans are from Frisco, everyone knows only gay people are from Frisco and like the Giants"
believe all of what you see, some of what you hear.... the fact about being the best in attendance every year should shut that nonsense up
-
Let's go Dodgers!
Great start so far.
-
3 more come across!
:banana:
-
ye that was a dope first inning
-
jeez jamie got rocked
-
I love how the stereo in the stadium is playing "why can't we be friends?" haha
-
hey the series is interesting again!
-
good damn game...
-
yeah booi!!!!!
oh, and victoriano a fucking bitch. complaining about that ball that was headed for his head..wtf man?! same thing happens to manny, martin gets hit today (i dont think that was intentional, but still), and then he gets another one that misses his head by a half a foot. what he think was gonna happen? that the dodgers were gonna lay down the entire series??
GO DODGERS!!
-
wdf?! another HBP and he stays in the game?!
wow..intentional or not, he should be gone.
-
I love them throwing at us, it wakes us up from looking like fags
-
wdf?! another HBP and he stays in the game?!
wow..intentional or not, he should be gone.
Nah, it was clearly unintentional, just a curveball that got away. You can't be tossing someone out for that.

yeah, i know...im just pissed that they keep hitting us..i wouldnt be surprised if lowe 'lets one slip'.
GO DODGERS!!!

why are they making such a big deal about "throwing at the head"?
first of all, the pitch to Victorino was like a foot above his head
second, game two Martin was thrown at around the face area
why are the Phillies making such a big deal about this when yesterday they started it by throwing at the head? :laugh:

its all part of the game...he has no right to bitch..if he feels it was wrong, he shoulda did something about it instead of just bitching to martin about it.
-
^ la fans got nothing on philly
my brother went to the game tonight, said Philly fans were getting punked and escorted out everywhere ;D
-
Great game.
Let's win game 4. :)

-
whoa son.

it's nice, while working, to get an update that it's 5-3
later to find out seconds after getting that update 4 runs were scored
you usually don't win the World Series when you have Chan Ho Park on your team
it seems the Phillies have gotten all their hits with 2 outs throughout the series
if you allow 3, 4 run innings, in 3 games, you don't deserve to win
-
i knew it was too good to be true...im not completely giving up hope..but we gotta win 3 in a row, they just gotta win 1. :(
-
the phillies and dodgers need to play ball and stop hitting eachother
-
the phillies and dodgers need to play ball and stop hitting eachother
Game 4 had none of that.

You can say that for a lot of players
-
i knew it was too good to be true...im not completely giving up hope..but we gotta win 3 in a row, they just gotta win 1. :(
If they beat Cole Hamels, I'm confident to see the team force a Game 7 which would be Lowe vs Blanton/Moyer I think
-
Phillies won this series.
can TB finish off Boston though? should be interesting. 8)
-
I was at the game last night and it was a hell of a game... just the outcome wasnt good... had great ups and downs... loved it until victorino's Bitch ass hit that two run HR...
Game 1 and Game 4 could have both easily been our games.... but we let them slip from our fingers...
Start Capitalizing on situations were we have men on base Dodgers!... it aint over til its over!....
Lets Go Dodgers!

^^Haha good call on that song, it's not over until they've actually lost for the 4th time. This has been a good series, real competitive compared to the ALCS. Victorino is a damn good ballplayer, and he has stepped it up this series. He had a right to be mad, it's common knowledge in baseball that you don't throw at or near anyone's head. The pitch was too close to his head, and it was intentional. You just don't do that shit. If the Dodgers win tonight against Hamels, it gets real interesting. Myers is alright but inconsistent, but Kuroda hasn't been good on the road. And if it went to Game 7, it would be tough decisions to make for both teams.
-
In the same exact game, they threw at Martin's head.
-
^^Haha good call on that song, it's not over until they've actually lost for the 4th time.
i just heard on the news that the phillies already have the plastic set up in their locker room...talk about over confident. they got one of the best on the mound tonight...but billingsley needs to redeem himself from his last start.
COME ON DODGERS!!! FORCE A GAME 6!!!
-
In the same exact game, they threw at Martin's head.
and in the first game they threw at mannys head.
-
All anyone thinks about when that song plays is the last scene of Sopranos lol not a dodgers comeback that isnt going to happen
Phillies end it tonight
-
In the same exact game, they threw at Martin's head.
and in the first game they threw at mannys head.
The pitch to Manny that went behind him was bad, but Myers was telling him it slipped and it didn't turn into a big deal. The pitch to Martin was up and too close, that wasn't cool. But the pitch to Victorino was really at his head, that's just not cool. Both teams are guilty, but you don't throw at people's heads.
As for the over-confident thing, every team does that when they are about to clinch a series or playoff berth, and if they don't win, they just hold it off until they do it. It's like making Super Bowl champs hats for both teams before the game is played.
-
If Kuroda didn't throw that pitch, Phillies would never stop throwing at Dodgers whether it's near the head or around or whatever.
-
everyone that isnt a dodger fan expects the phillies to win the LCS tonight...but i see em forcing a game 6. after that, i dont know...like joe torre said "one game at a time".
-
and so it starts...
GO DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
ok..take out billingsley NOW.
RIGHT NOW.
-
TAKE HIM OUT DAMIT!!!
-
Fuck
C'mon Dodgers, let's make a series outta this!
-
aiight...good D bails us out..now lets get that run back!
COME ON GOD DAMIT!
-
wow, just wow
I think I've had enough of this game. What a shit show. :-X
-
LOL Furcal is fuckin up
-
its over.
cant win the LCS committing all those errors...let alone the WS.
-
^^phillies are clearly the better team
-
welcome to the golf course Dodger fans! ;)
-
why the fuck do the dodgers tease me like this?
-
omg!!! why couldnt that ball have gone 5 more feet??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh well.
GO RAYS!!!
-
yall got rocked, phillies in 5, in style too, cole is the man
-
...next year.
-
...next year.
i doubt it, but you never know.
if Manny leaves then DEFINATLY not.
