Dang Dodgers...tied with NY...Take us to the series!

Dodgers seem back on track taking the lead for best record again..

[troutdog]

My personal opinion is that Philly and the Cards made huge trades and the doyers sat on their hands, Sherrill is a good pitcher.

Doyers only have one homerun this week and look what happened in St. Louis.....

If you recall correctly Tampa Bay stood pat and the Phillies added Blanton last season at the trade deadline and look where they wound up....screw getting Halladay, his added years and his mega salary in exchange for Kershaw and our young prospects. Sherrill is a stud and the Dodgers arguably now have the deepest pen in the majors, just get me to the playoffs and I'll take my chances...PHILLIES do look very formidable though :Shocked:

Yes, because the face of the entire fan base of the Dodgers revolves around some guy with '420' in his screen name. Using that logic, I'll just pull up a few more action shots of your fans beating the crap outta an opponent's base coach, and say that all Sox fans are idiots based on one person. Wait, didn't another fan decide to beat up on an umpire a few weeks later? I digress.

And what if he's rooting the team to the World Series? What's wrong with that? Vegas odds back up his claim. You're acting as if a Nationals fan blurted out the same thing.

Should he be like an under achieving White Sox fan, who roots for a .500 season or a Chicago Cubs loss? I'd be rooting to get outta that stadium without altitude sickness, personally.

Fielder charges the Dodgers clubhouse after the game? What a loser. That guy has got to be the biggest douchebag in baseball. Attacking teamates, opponents clubhouses...whats next? This thug should be in prison, not Major League Baseball. Mota hit him in the thigh......some pitchers wouldnt have been so nice.

Well for starters how about his 50 game suspension for violating the drug policy?

[wellbilldancesays]

Or the time he did the same thing to Piazza, then ran like a girl when Mike went after him.

[troutdog]

Okay so it was not for have a team mate's back...fair enough, lets face it everyone has their opinion about the drug violaters who have been suspended. No argument on that one.

I have a feeling you would have run from Piazza too :LOL:

:LOL: maybe! But if I were a professional MLB Pitcher I doubt I would, I'd try my best to give him a little Nolan Ryan treatment. I mean at LEAST try and save face, the benches clear out so fast you just have to last a couple of seconds. Easier said than done though!

Ok, Prince is a douche, what can I say. In fact, after seeing these videos, he seems like those "Hold Me Back, Dogg" type of douchebags. (We all know atleast one...they're usually wearing the TapouT shirt at Sharkeez in Newport)

Sure, you can Mota a douche for doing steroids, but unlike many, at least he actually served the time for his crime, unlike many others that lucked out.

But I hope you weren't calling him a douche for throwing at Fielder. Because coming from a fan of a team who's manager is a big supporter of pitching staff 'taking care of business' whenever their players get thrown at, it'd be pretty hilarious.

(On a side note, too bad football doesn't have the equivalent of a brush back pitch. it sucks these guys can only play one side of the ball, because i'd love to see the guy dancing in the end zone, get the equivalent of a fastball in the ear flap. Can you imagine someone celebrating a home run, like football players celebrate a touch down? They'd get one right in the between their numbers the next time at bat)

Back on topic, Fielder should've known what the unwritten rule is, and taken his base, without making it a spectacle. Coincidentally, Orlando Hudson took his IntentionalHBP in the Florida game like a grown man. He knew why he got drilled. Fielder should have done the same thing. At least it wasn't fastball at his dome.

Looking at the video of Fielder 'supposedly' wanting to go talk to Mota after the game, it made me laugh knowing he could've damn well flung the 120 pound security guard out of the way and been in the Dodger clubhouse faster than he could wipe out a buffet. But, he didn't want to...all bark, no bite. I won't call him a douche, but I will call him a little b!tch. Last time I checked, you fight these battles within the diamond, not outside in the clubhouse, cuz now you're considered Bush League.

Actually they do have somthing similar, They have bountys!! Remember the whole boldin deal when he got his face shattered!!! Rodger Godell is now fining players for Hitting a player to violently I belive the first was the reciever from the Steelers who got fined, And heard an interview with him about bountys being set before games the coaches would all "donate" some money to the player who gives the biggest shot to whatever player there targeting that night.

[DarkShadow]

a recap before we enter the Bay Area and have to face both Lincecum and Cain.

I can say that in the past 17 games:

• Our bullpen looks spent. Could it be the fact our starting pitchers can not go more than 5 innings, and our bullpen probably has the most innings pitched for any staff in baseball? Do you blame this on Torre for not letting the starting staff work out of situations more, or do you blame this on the starting staff not manning up? And what's up with Broxton? He's extremely shaky at this point, and i would not mind if Torre went with a platoon closer, where Sherril gets the nod if lefties are up, and Brox the Ox would get the nod if there are righties up, because at this point, I keep on having flashbacks of Matt Stairs.

• Our offense looks spent. Hudson and Blake are going into their expected 2nd half slide, Ramirez looks like the effects of being gone 50 games is a good possibility, Ethier and Kemp show moments of offense here and there, and Loney, and Martin are GIDP (Ground into double play) machines, and Furcal is Furcal. We can't score runs with 2 outs, and we manage to get inopportune hits during close games. Our approach to the plate looks sickly. We let piped fastballs go early in the count, and then we hack at pitcher's pitches late in the at bat, which result in weak fly balls, or rolling over ground balls all over the infield. Mattingly needs to change this team's approach to the plate, because although the Dodgers can score 17 runs on a team one day, they'll go an entire weekend scoring 1 run a game.

• I'm tired of Joe Torre's "AL" mentality when it comes to managing this team. Apparently nobody's told him that he can't expect a jack from anyone in the lineup anytime he wants one. Apparently, he doesn't realize James Loney isn't Giambi (when he was juicing.)These aren't the Yankees. There are so many situations in the past few games, where he had made dumb åss mistakes. From not pinch running Pierre for Manny upon hitting a double and the game tied late, and then Manny getting thrown out at home on a base hit, to not squeeze playing with Martin up and runners on 1st and 3rd, it seems Torre sits on his hands expecting Ramirez to jack one every at bat. (Kinda like most Dodger fans at the stadium, actually)

• We have a rotation of 4. Our 5th guy is slated to get the loss the minute they get on the mound, regardless if it's Stultz, Macdonald, the Dream Weaver, or my mom. Would've been nice for Ned to pick up a starting pitcher before the trade deadline, because it's not a matter if one would 'make us better,' but rather, 'we NEED a body to pitch in the rotation.'

and oh yeah

• Jason Schmidt still sucks. They should DFA that guy already.

We take 1 outta 3 in the bay, and our lead is still 4.5. Then our roader consists of teams like the Pirates, GNATionals, Reds, Madres, and D-Bags.

If we can't beat those teams, we don't deserve to be in the post season anyway.

:Wink:

[wellbilldancesays]

It will be interesting to see how Manny responds against the Giants. Since I'm sure the fans their will be the most negative towards Manny since his return back.
Will he silence them with the long ball or will he treat them like the whole roid issue and just bury his head in the sand?

Question, I dont know about this but some of you guys probably do.
Don't the Dodgers have one or two guys they could bring up from the minors to help out with pitching? Bring them in now and slowly work them in and maybe hopefully have some experience and some options in the post season?

I dont follow the farm system as much as I should, but I think the prospect who would be the closest to being major league ready is a kid named Josh Lindblom, who was selected in the 2nd round of last years draft...out of Purdue. Hes big (6'5", 220), throws hard and has a tight slider. However, he was a closer in Purdue, and the Dodgers are grooming him to be a starter....I think. Anyways....he is still a ways away Im sure.

Im afraid we are stuck with a platoon of Weaver/Stultz, unless Ned can work a miracle.

And hopefully that miracle doesn't involve people named Padilla or Smoltz.

I don't think Manny had to much to worry about considering the mitigating circumstances :Wink:. It easier to relax when you're not under indictment by the Feds.

You see the bomb he hit today? He shoulda yelled 'fore' before as soon as he yoked that.

Giants fans are apparently tough.

(Make sure the dogs aren't in the room, the Dodger fan's yelling is quite annoying, and it scared my dog)

And does Mota mean "Walk Off Homer Giver Upper" in Spanish? Or does it mean "Dead Arm?"

Seriously, that guy needs a one way ticket to Albuquerque considering his performances his last few outings. I refuse to believe we don't have anybody else in Triple A that wouldn't suck as bad as he has during the majority of his tenure with the Dodgers. I'll take Smoltz at this point.

Taking 2 out of 3 from the Halloween Colored Foes was definitely a step in the right direction, tho.

Paging Ned Colletti.

We need a starting pitcher last month, but now with the Kuroda wearing a baseball in his head, we need 2 starting pitchers. The Phillies ended up signing Pedro for $1 million. Didn't we have enough in petty cash to have matched that? Apparently not.

And paging Joe Torre, put down the Bigelow tea, and start paying attention to the actual game.

Broxton is not Mariano Rivera. It is perfectly ok to demote someone from the closer role if their performance has taken a tumultuous downhill swing. But, that would require Torre getting off his åss and actually managing a team, which apparently, he never had to do with the other teams money has managed to assemble for him.

The Rockies are within striking distance, and we face 2 great pitchers during the Cardinal series. We've gone from "the best records in the majors" to, "the pilot has turned on the fasten seat belt sign, as we are about to hit some major turbulence."

Try to be positive guys!! Maybe they are getting the "slump" out of the way now. Better than starting a slump in the first round of the playoffs.

I still think the Dodgers are going to take the West and finish with one of the best records in the majors....Manny has been slumping a little, but I still the Dodgers are in good shape. Hopefully a little more pitching will find its way onto the field. Are there anyother Clayton Kershaw's in the farm system by chance? :Wink:

Not too bad of a start for the kid in his MLB debut, just didnt have any offense to back him up, or not enough.

Manny batting like .210 in his last 17 games?! Throwing up goose eggs 40% of the games since the all star break! Man who knew some preggo pills could have that big of an affect on batting?

Maybe the Dodgers should bench Manny and start Pierre?

First lets clarifying since you are using some new math of some kind, but the closest the rockies can come to first is 3 games, they are curretnly 3.5 out so it is either 3 or 4 games....not 2.

If I recall correctly the Dodgers best record of the season had them 26 games over .500, they are currently 23 games over that mark now. Everyone seems to be thinking they are choking, when the truth be told is the rockies and giants are simply playing great ball. I for one am not concerned, the toughest part of their schedule is already finished.

As George Bush once said "READ MY LIPS...." the Dodgers WILL take the West, what happens in the playoffs is a roll of the dice. Just get me there and I will take my chances!

You better hope the tankees don't play the halos in the first round, cause they 0wn them!

I think the boo birds have come out the result of the past 2 weeks at the plate, Manny will get back into his grove at the plate...
TD

That and not hustling/ playing balls right in the outfield but isn't that just Manny being Manny?

And as far as getting his "groove" if he does that would be a great piece for SportsCenter...


"How Manny got his groove back"

lmao!

If you want to hate on yhe dodgers make sure they are playing that day before you perdict a loss or is your math that bad td i still want that freeway series go dodgers

[DarkShadow]

I'm hoping the swine flu takes out the rest of the NL West, so we can cruise to an easy 9.5 game lead.

Didn't you know that's why we got Vicente Padilla? We'll have him cough on the Rockies during his first start in Dodger Blue. :Surprised: *cough cough*

The pitching is still solid...and the bats will come back around.

The rockies have THE best record in baseball since the end of June, that seems to be getting lost in this thread for some reason. Credit is definitely due and it is hard to dislike Jim Tracy, but the Dodgers will still prevail and take the West.

I think a lineup including Manny, Kemp, Eithier and Blake is deserving of a sense of optimism...EVERY team has both hitting and pitching slumps in a 162 game season.

Although I am not a diehard halo fan, I still consider them my AL team....they should be making a post season appearance when everything is said and done....tonight's start by Saunders should prove interesting to say the least.

Secondly we now know Manny is not on the juice any more and his performance is considerably off. Factor that in with the MLB batting average as a whole is usually around .260 , seems like he is mediocre at best now, no?

I randomly picked JD Drew out of the hat and ironically he is batting .260, so you would rather have someone like JD over Manny? Bottom line I think this season and next needs to play out before anyone can make an accurate judgement.

1. Glad to see Man Ram's earning his keep.

2. Glad to see the bullpen still sucks.

We're gonna have to score 8 runs a game in order to go .500.

Great job, Blue Crew.

"RHP Jeff Weaver has been pure gold for the Dodgers out of the bullpen, holding opponents to a .171 batting average with runners in scoring position. The bullpen leads the major leagues with 31 victories, with Weaver collecting four of those. The relievers also entered Sunday’s game with a baseball-best 3.24 collective ERA."

Isn't it fun to go back and read all of the things that have been posted early on in the season, hindsight is definitely 20/20! My favorite though had to be SoCalGuy predicting the Royals were going to have a good year and do a "mini- Tampa bay Rays" :LOL:

"Yankees fan. It's a birthright."

(Visibley impressed) "I see."

(Even more visibley impressed) "You know how the Dodgers got their name?"

Me
"They used to be the Brooklyn Trolly Dodgers?"

"Oh, well... do you know why they were called the Trolly Dodgers?"

"There were lots of trollys in Br..."

I have a feeling TroutDog is leaving work early today because...... Dodger fans are in for a special treat when the boys in blue take on the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight.

The Dodgers will give each ticketholder a voucher for a free hot dog. The Dodger dog giveaway marks their first since the mid-1990s.

A hot dog eating contest will also be held before the game. The winner will be given the opportunity to throw out a ceremonial first pitch.

The 120-strong Spirit of Troy USC Trojan Marching Band is scheduled to perform the national anthem and a 10-piece horn section from the band will play "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch.

The idea for the giveaway came from the team, who approached executives from Farmer John. Approximately 25,000 Dodger dogs are sold at each game and 2.3 million were sold just last year.

The 10-inch Dodger dog was created by Thomas G. Arthur, who ran the food concessions at Dodger Stadium for over 29 years.

Wait, I was just told they still hadn't. Considering the way they've been playing the past week, someone forgot to tell them that the season isn't over just yet.

I bet the Cardinals are sitting back, laughing at the fiasco of a series that was Pittsburgh, and the less than stellar performance against the door mats of the league, the Nats.

I hope we're doing the psychological warfare thing against the Cards; u know, playing like Little Leaguers so that they come out complacent and over confident.

Hey you can go to Fan Appreciation Day during the final home stand. I hear that along with a new Toyota, the Dodgers will give also give away the West Division Title to whoever wants it.

Hey Dodgers.................the Rockies are in town.......and they're here to steal your souls.


WAKE UP AND PLAY SOME DAMN BASEBALL!!!!!!!!

[baadfish69]

All that crap talkin at the beginning of the season on how the NL West was SOOOOO weak...that the Dodgers should win it by default? Yet somehow I doubt any of the Dodger haters would want the Dodgers, Giants OR Rockies in their division right now. 10 games back, and them Rockies are STILL making me nervous!





See......I knew them pesky Rockies were gonna cause trouble.

We are taking the division at home!!!!

I will ALWAYS talk trash about the Dallas Cowboys of the MLB, so if you are going to make FNN your home get used to it buddy!

Can you please clarify what you are trying to say...because "luck" had nothing to do with either the tankees or Dodgers making the playoffs.

"How about the yanks"? what about them? They have not accomplished anything until they are standing towards the 3rd week in October...c'mon quit treating this like an 8 team parlay :Wink: :ROFL:


TD

[baadfish69]

This team is making me sick to my stomach. If its not one thing, its another. Wolfs two walks in the 1st inning.......game over. When are these guys gonna learn that walks will kill you EVERY FREAKIN TIME??? Especially when your team cant tell the difference between a ball and a strike while at the plate......


Pathetic. My softball team could beat the Dodgers right now, and that doesnt make me proud.

[dfisher]

i hope the Rockies sweep...

Dodgers shouldn't be in the way they are playing right now, the angels as well.

If i recall Vin saying correctly tonight...."the 2000 yanks lost 15 of their last 18 and went on to win the world series", well I can dream can't I? :Neutral:

you better dream hard & take some Volume or something cause the 2000 yanks were a far superior team than the 09 Dodgers. I hope the Dodgers get there **** together though.

Now that's a great idea.

Did you just contradict yourself on one post? So was it a sure win, or was it a long shot? I'm confused.

Then again, those are tough. Those pesky sure win long shots.


but hey you dont win big if you dont take any risk right.:Wink:

Yeah, which is why I'm putting money on the Yankees in the post season. That's a big risk, considering the big names like Tex, Sabathia, and A-roid start their vacations right around October 6th.

i like the dodgers in game 1. go wolf

I just hope the Cards forget their bats when they come to Dodger Stadium. Then again.....Pujols could probably go 5-5 without one.


Nevertheless.....

Awesome game on Saturday...champagne really hurts when it gets in your eyes:

Great start! The 6:37 pm start last night made the stadium seem empty for the first 4 innings though.

I've called in "sick" from work today (Blue Fever) and can't wait to get back to The Ravine for Game 2. Hopefully Kershaw comes out inspired, just like he did his last start.

Go Blue!

Yanks vs Dodgers world series let get it done!!!!:Twisted:

I still dont get all the hype with St. Louis:Confused:



Potential Cy Young candidate in Wainwright, and Carpenter (if he hadn't been injured @ the start of the season), and a potential Triple Crown candidate with Pujols, and a potential Silver Slugger award winner in Holliday?

I can see where the hype comes from.

[baadfish69]

Don't stop, believing...



I love how Steve Perry hates that the Dodgers use that song at Dodger Stadium. It makes him sick to his stomach, being a Giant fan and all.....but hey Steve-o......Dodger fans are the ones singin it!

I was in class tonight (had the game recording on Tivo), got a text message from a buddy sayin, "OMG Did you see that!!!?? GO BLUE!" I checked the game on my iPhone to find out that they had won, and let out a "Yes! Dodgers won!"......and half the class went into a frenzy.....it was great!

Damn it feels good to be a Dodger fan right now!

[troutdog]

Loved how after the game Wainwright was biotching about the white towels handed out at the game as a possible reason as to why Holliday lost track of the ball asking why the towels weren't Dodgers blue instead....I guess the same reason the Phillies didn't hand out red ones? Going to be interestesting to see if the Cards hand out white rally towels in game 3 :Razz:

Every year something crazy happens in the playoffs...I wonder what else lay in store!

Oh man! I couldnt believe he said that! As if the Dodgers were the first to hand out rally towels in the playoffs! Seriously Wainwright.....act like youve been to the postseason before, you jackass! Its like the guys on the MLB network said....the towels were being waved when the Dodgers were in the field too.

Someone is a sore loser!! Hahahhah!

[wellbilldancesays]

Looks like the Dodgers picked the right time to get the funk out. Heck the Dodgers were two up before the Angels series even started. You guys have to be happy with that.


Man they must be in shock too say something that stupid about the Rally towels. I think the Cards are going down quick!

After last year, it's personal.

Plus, the Blue won't have to face Hamels and Lee in games 1 and 2, thanks to Manuel's senile managing.

Plus, I'm hoping Kershaw and the Wolfpack will neutralize the Phil's left handed hitters. George Sherril and the Status Kuo are gonna be key this series.

I dont think this is going to be good, especially in the long term for the dodgers. Makes me think someone won't give a crap about the team and just start taking money out for themselves.

[wellbilldancesays]

I have only watched a handful of Dodgers games this season but after watching lasts nights game I have lost respect for Torre. The umpire had a tight strike zone going on and was pretty consistent but more than a few times his calls were wrong against Kershaw and what do Torre do? Nothing! Until the Kershaw/Dodgers were buried. After watching Angels with Sciosia I know Mike would've gave the ump the look like WTF? and at some point ran out there to contest the calls. Now if Torre would've done that I dont know if the strike zone would' ve opened up and the calls start to go their way but at least it would've shown the young pitcher some support and maybe helped out. Instead he was asleep at the wheel and didnt wake up until it was too late.

[fishfinder]

i am not sure why he changed the pitching rotation either. 1-0 in the 8th inning, not looking good for the dodgers now. think i will take the money i saved for world series tickets and go to big bear for xmas.
