One man gang
Chris pitched seven scoreless innings and knocked in two with a double in the second. Leading the Dodgers to a 5-1 win over the Cubs.
Ned working on getting fired.
Somehow I just know Ned’s going to pull the trigger on Abreu. Get ready for GAII
Thanks Scott Elbert
Just when I thought I got that vision of Broxton and Stairs out of my head. You come along and put it right back in.
King for a day
If you told me Ted “The Thrill” Lilly was only going to give up one Hr and four hits in six innings pitched at Coors field. I’d ask you what you’re smoking. I don’t know what has happened to “The Thrill” but his era was microscopic entering the game tonight. Even with the one miscue it only went up to 1.38 Way to go Ted. Keep up the good work.
Sometimes we need reminded
Last nights game was the perfect example of why as baseball fans we love this game for the beauty and the art that it is. We witnessed a young eighteen year old phenoms first major league game. We saw two teams struggle and fight for what most people would consider just another early season win. We saw the greatest player in the game today hit a game winning home run in the bottom of the tenth inning. But last nights game was more than that. It showed the passion of this Dodgers team and its fans. Something that has not been seen in Dodger stadium in quite a while. On Monday the sale of the team will be complete and the new ownership group will take over. No more will Dodgers fans feel embarrassed by the teams owner, as Frank McCourt will no longer be the owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The players and us fans can focus on the game itself and not what legal maneuver Franks lawyers are pulling in court. I will also be deleting my folder of McCourt photos just like I did with my Manny folder when he left. Hoping I will never have to use one or search for one ever again. The Ned folder stays since some of his facial expressions are classic and will more than likely be needed for future posts. I thank God and MLB it’s finally over.
We have been through a lot over the last few years as Dodger fans and the win last night left me with such a great feeling inside after the game. I was proud of my team for showing the people of this country who tuned in to see Bryce Harper, that this team and organization have a new life. That Dodger fans are passionate about the game and team we love and not the come late leave early fans the media tries to portray us as. The Dodgers brand may be a little tarnished right now. But with a little work and some sweat, I think it will polish up just fine. I know last nights game will be hard to top in my mind. But somehow, I believe the best is yet to come for this team, its fans and the game we love.
