Game Thread: Dodgers vs. Rockies

i get the gamecast of the game and what do i see? three runs. Positives: he struck out the side and its in colorado.

Thanks for the thread! I'm afraid we're going to need it!

Come on Russell!

it seems like lofton has grounding into a ton of double plays lately... actually it seems like the whole team has been.

Hallelujah - No Penny! Grand Slam for Loney!!!! Loney RAWKS!!!!

YEAH loney

They're pulling Penko. There is a god. Way to go James!

New game and Billz gets the start.

The rook picks them up. It's a very power laden time for Dodgers first basemen these days. And opposite field, no less.

I like Grady's move here. Don't screw around, get Penny out. Hopefully Bills can get them to the seventh.

BK

Ah, never underestimate the mojo of high altitude. Nicely done, Mr. Loney.

AK

Loney Maroni!!!

Out first basemen are some grand slam hitting MoFo's!! HAHA!!

BEEN CALLING FOR LONEY PLAYING TIME FOR A MONTH NOW.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

im pretty happy about billz coming up

Stargazin-

In fairness, Nomar has picked up a big hit or two over the last couple weeks.

BK

I applaud Little for having the guts to pull Penny after one inning! That's what I'm talking about!!

Who says Little doesn't read the blog! HAHA!

GOT RID OF PENNY AND WE GOT A LEAD.

THE BASEBALL GODS ARE TRULY SMILING ON US.

IF WE CAN RECOVER FROM A PENNY START.

WE CAN RECOVER FROM ANYTHING.

ITS CALLED DESTINY.

Is that what happened? Little pulled Penny? I'm following on computer. I was wondering if Penny got hurt. But if he didn't, that is a brilliant move by Little. No messing around.

mike

What happened to Penney??? Did he go off, or is he hurt??

KNEW WE'D BE TRIPPING WHEN I SAW LONEY IN STARTING LINEUP. HEY LITTLE MADE A RIGHT MOVE ANYWAY.

C'MON BILLZ!!! Show them what you're made of!!

What happened to Penney??

As long as Byung-Hyun Kim is in there we need to score big runs.

GO DODGERS!

mike

NO KNOCK TO NOMAR -BUT HE COULD USE AN OCCASSIONAL
REST- OBVIOUSLY.

SAME WITH RUSS- AT CATCHER.
HE WOULD BE EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE WITH AN OCCASSIONAL
DAY OFF. AND HALL IS A QUALITY PLAYERS????

NO OFFENSIVE MONICA.

BK???- ANY ARGUMENT THERE????

As Vinny just put it, "Penny couldn't answer the bell".

That's about as simply put as it gets!

Get an out , Chad. Don't mess up the comeback!!!

Nothing like listening to Vinny at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on a Thursday.

Come on, Bills!!! You can get out of this. PLEASE!

"WHAT HAPPENED TO PENNY?"- HE'S PITCHING LIKE A PIECE OF #$%^&***((()$#$%^&&. AND LITTLE KNOWS IT AND FINALLY GOT SMART.

AFTER THIS GAME, THEY GOTTA KNOW THEY CAN'T START HIM POST SEASON.

THEY GOTTA KNOW THAT, RIGHT??????????????????

PLEASE???????? THEY GOTTA.

He'll settle down. Takes a bit more time for a starter to get into the groove when they don't have as much time to warm up. Good move by Little.

Looks like Bills has settled down. That's my dog!!

Can someone who's watching the game confirm that Penny is not injured? Grady just decided to yank him? I'm on the computer, can't tell. Thanks.

Great job Billz! Now with only 3 games left after today...Little can throw the pitching house at the Rockies today! Heck, Tomko, Sele, and Hendrickson could go for a few outs, too. Whatever has to be done!

mike

Nice job Chad!

Come on KILL Byung-Hyun Kim!

GO DODGERS!

mike

"LISTENING TO VINNY" . LOLO- LIKE A LITTLE SLICE OF HEAVEN.

Just the the government planned: We've phased out the irrelevant Penny, in order to make room some much larger BILLZ!!!!!

Don't think Penny is injured except for his usual whines. Just has a short leash at this time of year.

MICKEY- VINNY HASN'T SAID A WORD ABOUT INJURY.
I BELIEVE LITTLE JUST SAID ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

IF VIN SAYS SOMETHING I'LL BLOG IT, ASAP.

It would be better if Tomko and Hendrickson didnt have to pitch today :-)

Penny will be back in Post Season form in his next start. The guy pitched, and won, Game 7 of a World Series! He's needs to be there mentally.

ALL,

I'm watching the game: Penny is NOT injured. Little simply did the smart thing and pulled a struggling guy before the flood gates opened. Besides, it helped that he knew Billz was in the waiting. Again, in Vinny's words, "Penny couldn't answer the bell".

Chad just "answered the bell"!!!!

TOUGH FOR A STARTER TO RELIEVE, EVEN EARLY IN THE GAME.
BUT I THINK BILLZ WILL BE OK.

MAYBE PROVE HE DESERVES TO PITCH INSTEAD OF PENNY.
BUT ANY SANE PERSON COULD ALREADY SEE THAT.

Mike did not just suggest putting in Bombko today did he?? Heavens help us all!!!!

Come on Kent! Go!

Come on Drew! Get your 100 RBI's!

GO DODGERS!

mike

Here we go bags loaded no outs for Drew!

Star-Guy,
They gotta!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C'mon Dodgers!! Let's blow this game OPEN!! Bases loaded and no out!!

THE BK CURSE IS OVER.

THE BASEBALL GODS RULE.

BK- YOU GOTTA BE HAPPY THE BK CURSE IS GONE.

IT WAS CONFUSING TO SAY THE LEAST.

I don't think Penny was injured. He was just sitting in the dugout when Loney Grand Slammed.

Mickey,
The only injury Penny has is a bruised ego. He was stinking up the joint and Little pulled him thankfully.

LOLO- HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN ASKING FOR AN OCCASSIONAL LONEY START?????????

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN ASKING FOR REMOVAL OF PENNY
FROM STARTING ROTATION?

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Bust it open Drew.

THE WALKING MAN....

There's one run, and still no outs!! C'mon Russ!!

JD Drew walks so much. I love it when he walks. Especially with the bases loaded!!! 5-3 now !

Break them! Drew walks is good for a run!

GO DODGERS!

mike

OK, tickle this one out.

Damn!! Russ blooped an RBI single but Kent was thrown out trying to score. He's too old to be doing that. HAHA!!

BTW, Kent beat that out, the replay just showed.

WONDER IF PENNY ARGUED "UPON HIS NOTIFICATION THAT HIS SERVICES WERE NO LONGER NEEDED".

"YEAH BUT I NEVER BEEN IN NO TROUBLE ALL SEASON."

LOL larger BILLZ...good one blueballs

JUST SAW SLO MO REPLAY ON DREW AT THE PLATE.
HIS HAND WAS ON THE PLATE BEFORE TAG -NO DOUBT.

Stargazin,

Well at least we're seeing Loney now. But as BK said, Nomah has been responsible for some big games.

There's Loney AGAIN.

8-3

LONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RBI DOUBLE

my mood has improved so much from 25 minutes ago!

:-))

Damn, its gonna be hard for Little to take Loney outta the lineup now. 6 RBIs already!

Loney!

GO DODGERS!

mike

Star-Guy,
They'll listen now.

LOLO- THAT WAS DREW TRYING TO SCORE AND HE DID.
LITTLE SHOULDA BEEN OUT THERE FOR THAT ONE.
BASEBALL NEEDS INSTANT REPLAY???????????????????/

YOUTH WILL BE SERVED!!

Damn, that was a bad call on Kent! But hey, up 5, let's keep it going, boys!!

LOLO AND BK =-HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

JUST SAYING NOMAR NEEDS AN OCCASSIONAL REST, JUST LIKE RUSS.

AND WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY CAPABLE REPLACEMENTS.

People putting Penny down is crazy. The guy has won 16 games. Not too many people have done that in the NL this year. He'll be back to form in the playoffs!

GO PENNY!

GO DODGERS!

mike

Scully just said that Penny had a "STIFF BACK"

Penny's claiming the stiff back.

Vinny just reported that Penny has a "stiff back".

Riiiiiiight.

If you believe that one I have a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you. HAHA!

Looks like Nomar's gonna get a full days rest with Loney hitting like a mad man. That's good news for us, bad news for SD and Philly.

MICKEY- VINNY JUST REPORTED STIFFNESS IN THE BACK FOR PENNY. YEAH BUT HE'S BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT
HIS BACK ALL YEAR.

THAT S JUST A LOUSY EXCUSE.

THEN HE'LL SAY HIS BACK IS OK AND WANT ANOTHER START
POST SEASON

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

For those of you not watching, Billz looks GOOD right now. He's making his pitches and just needed a few out under his belt to settle down.

DON'T WANTA SEE PENNYS UGLY MUG OR BEER BELLY AGAIN THIS SEASON. PERIOD.PERIOD.PERIOD.PERIOD.

MIKE - YOU'RE WACK.

They just showed Penny drinking a beer in the dugout.

Stargazin,

I think Little now realizes that he can insert Loney anytime. Whether its a spot start or pinch hitting in a tough situation, Loney is earning Little's trust.

Penny drinking a beer? So what...he's watching an important game that he's out of...might as well enjoy it! Take the edge off!

GO PENNY!

mike

"They just showed Penny drinking a beer in the dugout."

Now THAT was funny. HAHA!

PENNY NOW HAS AN ERA OF 6.56 SINCE THE ALL STAR BREAK.

I liked the story better when Penny was yanked for being bad. Although I wonder if this was one of those deals where Little went to Penny and said, "Brad, it looks to me like your back hurts. Why don't you take the rest of the day off?"

A little face-saving, maybe.

BK

Billz just got out of a little jam. 1st and 3rd. The Rockies has left 7 on base already!

BK,

Do you have ANY doubt that's what happened? HAHA!

BK,

Whatever it was...it's done. I applaud Little for doing what he did, no matter what! Penny is a quality pitcher who can be the difference in the playoffs. I'm not getting down on Penny!

GO DODGERS!

mike

BEFORE THE SERIES STARTED I SAID A TRIP TO COLORADO
USED TO BE AN AUTOMATIC CURE FOR THE DODGER OFFENSE

GUESS WHAT/// STILL IS

BUT YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

BK,
A lot of face saving. Let's just hope they don't save his ass for another start. Shut it down and go on a diet. Conditioning folks!

It looks like they pulled Brad AFTER the grand slam (correct me if I'm wrong). Little's not the type to yank his starter if he has the lead. I'm siding with Penny on this one. I'd take Penny to pitch over Billz any day!

8-3 is a big lead but I don't think I will be happy until it is 16-3. You never know in this stupid Coors field.

BK- TOTALLY AGREE ON THAT ONE. I SURE HOPE THEY DONT USE IT TO RECYCLE HIM IN POST SEASON.

THANKS FOR YOUR HONESTY.

DAVID - YOU'RE WACK.

Won't it be great to see the Dodgers clinch a playoff spot in San Francisco!

GREAT BLOG FOR A DAY ROAD GAME.

ALMOST LIKE A LIVE BLOG.

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well, considering Penny's back has been an issue all season (and especially the second half, when he's been most pretty poor), is there really a difference between pulling him for ineffectiveness or "pain?" It's sort of part and parcel. Any spin you wanna put on it, the case is basically the same.

AK

ACTUALLY THE BAD BACK THING MIGHT WORK FOR US.

THEY CAN PULL HIM FROM POST SEASON PLAY AND JUST SAY:

"BAD BACK" ITS ALL COOL.

The Dodgers lead the league in batting this year. The last time they led the league was in 1978, the same year they went to the World Series!

So why did Little put Billz in the bullpen? It's because 1) He's a rookie 2) He hasn't proved himself yet. Yes, he had 2 good starts, but he falls behind in the count and throws too many pitches. Why wouldn't you go with Penny? He's proved himself by winning a WS and starting in the AS game.

stargazin,

You're wack!

In the National League there are only 4 pitchers with 16 wins this season. Can you believe that? 16 wins leads the league. Two of those pitcher are Dodgers, Lowe and Penny. Penny leads the league in wins and people are calling for his head? That is wack!

GO PENNY!

GO DODGERS!

mike

i get back from grabbing a bite to eat and loney has two more rbi's, this is amazing. billz seems like he's doing well too.

I THOUGHT LITTLE WAS STUBBORN AND TOO LOYAL TO
HIS PLAYERS BUT DAVID AND MIKE MAKE LITTLE LOOK
LIKE A VISIONARY.

ERIC- IF PENNY WAS STILL IN THERE, EVEN 16-3 WOULD BE SCAREY.

Speaking of SF. Did anyone else hear the Dodgers could be interested in signing Mr. Steroid?

Billz is in another jam. 1st and 2nd 1 out. Come on Chad...

I would start Penny in the playoffs for the simple reason because 1) the postseason is the "new" season, 2) Penny's been there before, and been successful, and 3) that's what the man is paid for.

BUT, I would have him on a VERY short leash. The way he's been struggling in the 2nd half I would not mess around. He either has it, or he doesn't, and we don't have time to wait around to see if he can turn things around in the middle of the game.

Stargazin,

You can't blame David and Mike for taking a 3 Martini Lunch today. Deno calls it thirsty thursday after all. . .

http://www.morbid-curiosity.com/3792da90.jpg

That was a tough trickler down the line! C'mon Billz, CLAMP DOWN!!

David-

I agree about Billingsley in the pen. Even today, he's been erratic and is throwing a ton of pitches. But I think it'll be interesting to see what happens if Kuo goes out tomorrow and throws a great game. He's been very, very good since coming into the rotation. You're right that Penny has a postseason pedigree and if I had to guess he'll be in the postseason rotation, but given his performance in the second half, if Little went with Kuo in front of him, I could understand the decision. His World Series experience doesn't do much good if he's being beaten around like a pinata.

BK

Whats up guys. I've been reading the blog pretty much the whole year but this is the first time catching a live thread. I havent posted here all season but I was all over the Lakers Blog.
Hey guys it looks like we pull it of this year... By this time tomorrow we'll be tied for 1st...

Scott

Come on Billz. No more.

Now it's a 4 run lead. Pull this guy, too, if he give up another run. The Rockies have been hitting him, so far he's been lucky.

GO DODGERS!

mike

Who is gonna pitch next? They just showed Sele in the bullpen. 8-6 now.

Those are some tough "hits" to swallow. That one barely made it over Kent's head. It's not like they're beating up Billz right now.

Pull him!

GO DODGERS!

mike

This is not happening.

Nice pick-off my Billz!! Just what the doctor ordered!!

Pucker factor just doubled.

Yank him now Little.

DAMN!! Another flare single!! Talk about tough luck!!

5 hits and a BB and he's still out there?

8-7 now. Why did this have to happen?

Tripled!!!

Amen BK.

I don't trust the mid-relief pitchers... This could be trouble...

Pull the guy! Damn how stupid can Little be?

GO DODGERS!

mike

What the feck is Little waiting for to pull him???????????

Welcome Scott. DON'T JINX US!!!!!!

WTF. Thanks Penny, if we lose this game, its all on you. Your stupid ass cant make it to the 2nd inning when your team needs you the most. IDIOT

That was a tough outing for Billz. Rockies were getting very lucky with those weak/bloop hits. Looks like we're in for a long one today.

So much for all that Billingsley talk. I say throw the pitching house at the Rockies today. If a pitcher shows signs of trouble...PULL HIM!

GO DODGERS!

mike

Anyone care to predict the final score of this game. 11-9? 12-10? 19-17?

Seriously, Vinnie Castilla?!? C'mon half of his bones are dust by now!

BK- THAT WAS INDEED A TIMELY POST ABOUT KUO.
BILLZ VICTIMED BY A DRIBBLER AND TWO POP UP SINGLES
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT HE DOESN'T LOOK SHARP EITHER.

IN KEEPING WITH MY POLICY OF QUICK HOOKS AND
MINIMAL LOYALTY. I VOTE FOR KUO.

AS FOR BILLZ- OFF WITH HIS HEAD TOO.

It doesn't matter when it's going bad for a pitcher, pull him. Bloops single, hard hits, it doesn't matter.

GO DODGERS!

mike

Mike T,

I would agree that writing off Penny entirely would be a mistake. But he's really struggled since the All-Star break. He's 6-7 with a ERA of 6 and is having lots of trouble getting through games. And he's getting progressively worse in that regard.

I wouldn't pull him out of the rotation entirely, since Bills is also struggling (and hurt) of late and I wouldn't want 2 rookies going. But I agree with BK in putting Kuo ahead of him. You gotta go with what's working, especially now.

AK

It would be better if Tomko and Hendrickson didnt have to pitch today :-)

SCOTT- TECHNICALLY ITS NOT A LIVE BLOG BUT.......

ERIC- YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRCT I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH A 8-3 LED EITHER. GOOD POINT,MY MAN.

Does anyone want to pitch for this club. My g-d. My grandma can pitch better and she only has one leg.

IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG DAY!!

If Beimel walks in the tying run I will kill myself.

THIS REMINDS ME OF THE PRE-HUMIDOR ERA IN DENVER.
ALSO LIKE A GAME IN CHICAGO WITH THE WIND BLOWIN OUT.

CHRIST!! WHAT IS UP WITH THESE WEAK HITS!! HOW UNLUCKY CAN YOU GET?!?!

Wow. They're really getting nickled and dimed in this inning.

Here comes Grady again. He never really looks pissed. 8-8. NO!!!

Pull him!

GO DODGERS!

mike

I'm about to throw my computer out the f---ing window. This is killing me!

ERIC- IT WOULD BE BETTER IF NOBODY HAD TO PITCH TODAY BUT...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WOW... I'm done watching/reading this game. It's making me too mad.

Just watching this through my computer at work, but how does someone get an infield single right now. GOD DAMNIT

Like I said, throw the pitching house at them today! What doesn't work...move on!

GO DODGERS!

mike

Bring in KUO now!

ERIC- I'M THINKING ITS GOING TAKE AT LEAST 2 TOUCHDOWNS AND YOU MIGHT HAVE TO ADD A FIELD GOAL
AT THE END.

For those of you watching the game, how frustrating has this inning been? Only a couple of balls hit hard and the rest have been little fingers. I'm pulling my hair out watching these "base hits".

This is lame, we need to get out of the inning.

So now it is an 8-8 game and it will be the usual parade of Sele, Tomko, Hendrickson, Dessens, etc...God this is gonna be a long game. This inning is lasting forever.

GOOD THING WE HAVE A LOT OF STARTERS SITTING AROUND THE BULLPEN JUST WAITING TO..........

If we let this one get away it will be a damn shame.

The middle relief is in. It's going to take 15 runs to win today. I'm going to take a break for a few to settle down. I don't want to kick my TV. Catch you all in an hour.

Wow. That one wasn't hit hard either. Seven runs, almost no solid contact.

BK

You would think an 8-3 lead might have been big enough, but NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

ERIC- BUDDY, YOU OK? ITS ONLY A GAME. WE DON'T WANT
ANY BLOOD SHED HERE. ITS A FAMILY BLOG.

That 4th inning made me sick but don't you expect every game to go like this now.

Finally!

We're not done scoring, either, so I'm not too worried. This is Colorado. I wasn't comfortable with an 8-3 lead, anyway. That why I said we needed to kill Kim while he was in there. We'll come back...it's a Colorado day, today!

GO DODGERS!

mike

It's gonna be on of the Colorado games today...lets see how comes out on top of this thing in the end.

GO DODGERS!

mike

Kent just doubled to lead off the 5th. Come on JD!

LOL- THERE ARE ENONGH OF US "FOLLICLELY CHALLENGED"
BLOGGERS ALREADY. GO EASY ON THAT HAIR.

punching them right back

Thanks STARGAZIN I am ok.

I need a beer to calm down, just like penny.

ERIC- ITS EVEN WORSE ON TV.

THREW MY REMOTE AT THE TV TWICE BUT FORTUNATELY I MISSED. THE TV LIVES TO SEE ANOTHER DODGER GAME.

Come on Betemit! It's a Colorado day, today...get yours!

GO DODGERS!

mike

This game is gonna last 5 hours at this rate. Marlon is gonna hit a slam just watch !

ANYONE WITH A WEAK HEART CAN BE EXCUSED. NO SHAME IN THAT. ITS A RATHER UGLY GAME TO WATCH.

JUST LIKE THE GOOD OL COLORADO ROCKY MOUNTAIN
HIGH GAMES .

WHAT CAN YOU DO????
GOTTA JUST GO WITH THE FLO.........

God the Rockies really suck!

Nomar is gonna come into the game soon !!!

sorry i'm late. was eatting lunch & listening to the game. that was quite a 4th inning there.

glad to be back and see we are only down 1 w/ 2 on and no outs. go blue.

also let me say this is a crazy game. no lead under 10 runs is safe.

BETEMIT HAD TO GO BACK TO THE DUGOUT AND GET A RIGHT HANDED HELMET AND A RIGHT HANDED BAT.?????

Marlon just got another RBI !!

He really is a hit machine.

c'mon lone-dog two grannies

Ok, Loney time!

GO DODGERS!

mike

SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT HAPPY HOUR.

WASN'T THAT LOLO- TAKING A BREAK.

LONEY - 7 RIBBIES!!

And I thought the Dodger bullpen was bad. The Rockies' bullpen is even worse.

10-10 tie!!

Gotta love it !!!

Nomar is batting with the bases loaded.

loney is killing it today

Put Nomar in to pinch hit!

GO DODGERS!

mike

Someone get me off of this rollercoaster!!! Bases loaded... 0 outs... down by 1...

YEAH ERIC I'M STICKING WITH MY 17 RUN PREDICTION FOR THE DODGERS TO WIN.

That glass of wine I just had settled me down.

This game has "football score" written all over it.

Penny is in the Rockies' clubhouse stealing all their Coors.

Come on Furcal! Get yours!

GO DODGERS!

mike

The Rox get some girlie hits to score 7, and Furcal hits the ball right on the button and lines out into a DP. Where's the fairness in that? HAHA!!

WHAT A FREAKIN BAD BREAK THAT WAS LINE DRIVE TO SECOND BASE DP BY FURCAL.BUMMER COULDA SCORED A TON

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

dodgers are becoming one of those teams where you fell they're never out of it; they'll just fight there way back; kind of like those yankees teams of the late 90s.....as i said that Furcal just lined into a double play, so check that--lol---no, but seriously, they'll win this game; its their destiny to win the division this season on Sunday---watch!!

Grady looks like a genius for playing Loney instead of Nomar today.

GOT TO ADMIT A GOOD STIFF DRINK DOES SOUND GOOD

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Damn it what a rally killer. Bases loaded with no out and nomar and furcal killed it for us. Our best players. That pretty much sums up our whole season.

oh no... lurch is pitching??

Ok, any sign of trouble, pull Hendrickson!

GO DODGERS!

Throw the pitching house at them today!

mike

And another. Give Nomar a break. It was a lefty pitching, why not give killer tomato a chance.

Hendrickson is pitching now.

BK/AK -, DON'T GIVE US TOO MUCH THREAD -WE MIGHT HANG OURSELVES????

Hendrickson in relief. Money, right??

Gotta go to work, darn. Hope I come home to good news. We can do it!!!!!

Stiff back, Stiff drink

SOK- LATE AGAIN??????

I see the problem with these middle relievers. They come in trying to play with the plate instead of getting ahead of the count. They don't trust themselves. They're over pitching.

GO DODGERS!

mike

BK SAYS HENDRICKSON IS SEMI-EFFECTIVE IN RELIEF.
SO I'M CONFIDENT.

Hendrickson could redeem himself by pitching 4 scoreless innings now.

IM HATING THE ALPHA TEST BIG TIME TODAY.
WE COULDA GOT RID OF IT .
BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hendrickson is not exactly pitching like Christy Matthewson right now.

OF COURSE I GET THE ALPHA TEST ON MY ALPHA TEST REMARK.ITS ALL SO REDUNDANT.

BY THE WAY I DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE PLAYING A DOUBLE
HEADER TODAY????????

LOLO-HAVE A GLASS FOR ME. I'M OUT.

They better get Brox ready for the 7th and 8th again... Maybe even make Saito pitch 2 innings.

SEE, SEMI EFFECTIVE

Oh my g-d. Did we just get out of the inning without giving up a run, with our middle relief pitching? Just to let you guys know that I might have to quit my job just to go home and watch this. I love Dodger baseball more than making money.

AK,

It's YOUR boy King!!

More like Burger King! HAHAHA!!

KING KONG KING

KENNY!!!

(What the heck, FSN? They cut out before they showed the ball go over the wall.)

The Junkyard Dog is not sharp today.

BK

Marlon CRUSHED that one!!

BACK 2 BACK

Lofton and Merlin

OMG KENNY HIT A HOME RUN!!! This officially makes it upside-down day!

Kenny Lofton for president. WOW I love Kenny G Lofton. Go Blue

AK,

Dare I say, Dodger hitters are getting "fat" off King? HAHAHA!

LOL! It's a Colorado day, today! LOL!

Keep your fingers crossed that we come out on top!

GO DODGERS!

mike

MAKE THAT BACK-BACK!

King has a belly like Penny.

Vinny just said King is "rumored" to be 235 lbs. THAT was funny!!

Come on Drew! Get your 100 RBI's!

GO DODGERS!

mike

i thought they were humidifying the baseballs in Denver? I guess that early fall air is as thin as kenny lofton!!!

Ray King? The way he's getting beat down he looks more like Rodney King. HAHAHA!

King is thick not fat, according to Vinny.

King: I'm not fat...I'm thick.

Vinny: He's ALL that.

That was funny too.

well fucal grounded into a double play. someone mention earlier we are doing that a lot lately?

anyways finally finish reading all of the blog.

12 to 10. nice. 1 on drew up to bat.

anyways remember col bullpen is probably worst then our, so we are definately sweeping.

All I can say is WOW WOW WOW!!!! I had an appointment go long. I was trying to push my client out the door so I can catch the gamecast. But no, the appt took over 2 hours.

I get on and what????? 10-10??? WTH?? oh my gosh, Nomar is up with bases loaded with no outs and Raffy is following!! Awsome. Shxx.. DP How did that happen.

And then I scroll through this blog to get some entertainment, and it's already 12-10 by the time i'm through reading.

I can't believe I thought that f'n "peso" only lasted 1 inning. And I thought for sure he'd have a great game today.

Go DODGERS!

Hold on to this one please. We need 20 with Hendrickson pitching.

Lolo,

You could also say that the Dodgers were living "high off the hog" when King was pitching. haha

AK

If the Dodgers get a touchdown here, I'd like to see them go for two. Make it a two score game for Colorado.

BK

Jose Mesa has 24 brothers and sisters?

Holy *#&@. That's the stat of the day for sure.

BK

It's a Colorado day, today...get all you can get!

GO DODGERS!

mike

Stargazin,

2 touchdowns and 2 PAT's!!

Sadly, that's 8 more points than the Raiders have scored all year so far.

The Dodgers have a 14-10 lead and it doesnt even seem safe. Gotta love Denver.

BK,

Collective weight of said-named family? Now THAT would be a stat!

Loney has 9 RBI !!!!

LONEY!!! 9 RIBBIES!! TIES THE RECORD!!

BK, I guess they did go for two. HAHAHA!

GET ALL YOU CAN GET TODAY! IT'S A COLORADO DAY, TODAY! LOL!

GO DODGERS!

mike

Rockies 10- Loney 9.

BK

Grady is a GENIUS for playing Loney today.

Loney for President!!!!!

Holy Shyt! Loney is freakin' gangsta man! GANGSTA!

Did someone break "El Humidor"??? Someone must have forgotten to put water in it. HAHA!!

Someone pinch me. Does Loney have 9 rbi's today. He is trying to become my favorite dodger. And he is doing a really good job at it.

That's ties the dodger record for RBI's.

Stargazin,

I'm starting to believe in your man LONEY!!!!!! 9 RIBBIES!!!!!!! Did I just type that??? I can't believe that!! 9 ribbies.

Has Vinnie said what the record is for ribbies in a game. Can't be much more?

I KNOW Loney isn't going to lose to the Rox!! C'mon Loney! You're only down one!! HAHA!!

LONEY is going crazy

The record for RBI in a game is 12 I think.

Walked the pitcher? LOL! Get all you can...it's a Colorado day, today.

GO DODGERS!

mike

I cannot wait to see the highlights tonight

Major league record for RBI's in one game is 12, done twice.

Once by Jim Bottomley (St. Louis) in 1924 and once by Mark Whiten (also of St. Louis) in 1993.

Heck, we're only in the sixth innning. He can doooo it!

Back to back walk?...Kill them and the hopes of the Phillies, too!

GO DODGERS!

mike

Watching Hendrickson run is UGLY! HAHA!!

I can't believe this! We have 16 runs, and I still don't feel comfortable! How can that be? Oh, past experience...

Anybody know the record for most runs scored between two teams in one game. I imagine we're not even close yet, but again, it's only the 6th inning!

17-10. Now THAT is a football score.

OK WHERE WAS I . OH YEAH I THINK I SAID 17 RUNS.
