For the end of the season through the playoffs...

Kuroda's got a very important start tonight. He needs to prove he can pitch 6-7 innings consistently, since our playoff rotation is pretty open.

So far so good!

I missed most of the game, how's he looking?

Frantz Presaesno

09-23-2009, 11:06 AM

Kuroda looked good. His only blemish was a 2 run HR to Adam Dunn, but he's Adam Dunn so that's going to happen.

I hope they saved some runs for the rest of the series. Billingsly the Bum is pitching today. Yikes...

Frantz Presaesno

09-23-2009, 11:22 AM

I think he's injured and hiding it because he's due money this offseason.

Corndog

Wow.. way to blow that game.

I love how the Dodgers can lose, and it's like they won because Colorado lost.

Rockies were up 3-1, now down to SD 5-3 in the 8th inning..

Fuckin A.. Get the magic # to 4..

raiderdude69

09-24-2009, 08:15 PM

Shit, bomb to right center by Ian Stewart.. 5-4 Pads.. And now a single up the middle.. Come on cocksuckers, don't blow this shit for us..

Frantz Presaesno

09-24-2009, 08:16 PM

This would be sweet.

4 outs for 4.

raiderdude69

09-24-2009, 08:22 PM

Haha, Giambi looks at strike three..

And these Rockie announcers eat balls from hell.. What tools..

raiderdude69

09-24-2009, 08:52 PM

Pads hang on and win, magic # to 4.. Fuck yeah..

el boracho

09-25-2009, 11:36 AM

its going to be real interesting what torre does with the rotation ...he needs to start the 4 man rotation pretty soon...

Frantz Presaesno

09-25-2009, 06:58 PM

Garland, Wolf and Kuroda are in for sure. Kershaw is #4 if he's healthy enough for the gig. I have no idea who #5 is in a 7 game series, but Padilla looks awful.

Frantz Presaesno

09-26-2009, 04:14 PM

I hope the Braves don't keep this surge up. I'd HATE to see that pitching staff in the first round.

Tor

I don't think it really matters. Our staff isn't good enough to win it all. Hope I'm wrong...

i dont think so either...sure hope the bats come alive

Frantz Presaesno

Our advantage in the playoffs is the bullpen. We can deal with a couple of five inning starts as long as we can rest the pen this weekend.

1 run in 2 games...are you fucking serious?..

raiderdude69

10-01-2009, 11:38 AM

Hell, lose 7 out of 9 on this "easy" roadie? WTF? Oh well, just gotta win one vs the Rockies to clinch the division, but fuck, don't punk out in the first round.. Philly or St. Louis is gonna be tough no matter what.. Just hope our pitching holds up.. And the bats come back alive somewhat... Making the Pads pitching staff look like the '95 Braves or some shit..

Frantz Presaesno

10-01-2009, 12:11 PM

Bout to watch the Rockies game.

Come on Brewers.

Tor

10-01-2009, 12:31 PM

Joe Torre and Don Mattingly need to get in their collective asses. I hate to be so negative but they're playing like they've already locked up HFA. Lame...

raiderdude69

10-01-2009, 03:11 PM

Rockies rolling 9-1.. Fuck..

Just gonna have to wrap it up tomorrow..

Frantz Presaesno

10-01-2009, 03:38 PM

I can't believe this shit. I bought tickets for tomorrow months ago because they hadn't announced the promotion night and I got some insider info. I jokingly said "I'm going to hate myself for buying these if it's an important series, I'll just sit there quietly and not be any fun."

Guess I set myself up for that one.

NL West, check. HFA, check.

If we can somehow beat Carpenter in Game 1, it would be a huge stepping stone. FUCK THE CARDINALS!..

i can see it now....Pujols going yard on wolf and the cards pulling game 1 out....this is going to be a real tough series....Lets go Blue

I could see the Cards sweeping us in a romp. Game 1 will determine the series.

Viva Los Doyers!..

yeah everyone is saying Cards sweep but i hold hope we can pull this shxt out...If our bats come alive we got a shot...

Frantz Presaesno

10-05-2009, 11:06 AM

St. Louis' offense is somewhat overrated because the middle of the order is so good. I think Wolf can at least keep their runs down, though we have to hope the bats can do anything against Carpenter.

I got my tickets. 6:37 first pitch!

Corndog

10-05-2009, 11:13 AM

Jobu, take the fear away from the bats!!! Please!

10-07-2009, 07:07 PM

Yep, too bad we couldn't capitalize on the two out hits by Loney and Blake, but let's hope we keep working Carpenter till he breaks down and gives up a few more runs..

Wolf has GOT to settle down here and get through this next inning with no fuckin' drama..

And Brox did NOT choke.. Fuckin A.. 1-0 lead.. Let's hope we get to Wainwright tomorrow and to fucking St. Louis up 2-0.. GOTTA have tomorrow's game too.. 3:00 west coast start too, so I'll be hustling home at 5:00 to catch the rest of it..

Tor

10-08-2009, 10:25 AM

Broxton should only be used in the 9th from now on. Sherrill was doing fine. <3 our pen.

Gotta hold serve again today.

GO DODGERS!..

why did torre pull that shxt...brox belongs in the 9th and to close it out....sherril in the 8th...it worked out but i dont understand it...

crazy xss game and glad holliday choked....Lets go Doyers!!!!

raiderdude69

10-09-2009, 09:27 AM

Man, what a win.. Still in disbelief.. Was the only Dodger fan at the bar (being in Mariner country, that's to be expected), but was also the loudest motherfucker at the bar too.. Can't believe Holliday played that off his nads.. Fuckin sweet..

And I think they mentioned on TV that Brox probably was in there in the 8th because of the RH bats coming up (Pujols, Holliday, etc).. And Sherrill's closed in B-more for a couple years, so he CAN come in in the 9th if needed.. It worked out, so no biggie.. Let's finish these fuckos off tomorrow

You're losing 2-1 and the other guy is throwing a gem. You have 6 outs to work with and have to give yourself the best chance to win. They have their three best hitters in the lineup who are also all right-handed. What other decision is there? Bring in Weaver and risk him giving up a run and putting it out of reach?

41.1 IP, 2.40 ERA, 1.137 WHIP, 39 K, 13 BB, 20 saves - those are Sherrill's numbers in Baltimore as a closer this season. He was one of the best closers in the American League when he came to LA.

What you saw yesterday was how a true playoff bullpen is managed.

i dont know man ...everyone would have been all over torre if it backfired....if sherrill has been so dominant than why would it matter if you throw him out there before broxton like you have during the season....maybe im being to critical but glad it worked out...

Because Broxton is your best right hander and there's three right handed hitters coming up (who happen to be the three best in the lineup).
