8/17 other games

How in the hell do the Dodgers not get any more runs there? Wow. They need to find a way to have Manny hitting with runners on, all the time.

[Guest]

WTF was Braun doing on that one? He looks worse than Sori out there. But he did catch it.

 

That was ridiculous.

[Soul]

LOL @ the "Bronze Fonz"

[kujay]

LOL at Hart chasing after the ball after another ill-advised dive.

Anyone know if there is some reason for having two night games tonight?

An exception is made when Texas has home games in the heat of the summer. Since conditions can be so horrible in Arlington, they allow them to play night games even on Sunday.

Yost elects to pitch to Manny with 1 out and a man on 3rd and Loney (Dodgers version of DLee) on deck.

 

 

Manny singles to drive in a run.

Gotcha. Thanks.

 

Manny made it 5-1 with a single and then got thrown out at second trying to make it a double.

 

Nasty slide, but Hall seemed to be a good sport about it. If he would have slid directly to the bag he probably would have been safe.

[Soul]

Manny RBI, 5-1 Dodgers now.

[kujay]

Meat of the order coming up for MIL in the 8th. 6 more outs for 5 1/2 game lead!

[kujay]

Nice of Chippy to plug Santo for HOF during a discussion of Jason Johnson and his insulin regulator.

 

Johnson is doing a nice job retiring middle of Brewers order.

[Guest]

Loney botches a grounder, then throws it away. Durham comes up and drives in two. 5-3 Dodgers, 1 out in the ninth and a runner on first.

 

Oh yeah, and Chan Ho Park is pitching.

[Guest]

Hardy grounds out, two down; Durham to 2nd with Braun coming up.

[Soul]

Welp, here we go. Dodgers have put themselves into a position where they have to pitch to Braun with a chance to tie the game with a homer. Let's see what happens.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

CRAP!

[SouthSideRyan]

Chan Ho Park can suck something.

[Andy]

Huh. That kinda sucks.

[Guest]

And Braun homers on an 0-2 pitch to tie the game.

 

Chan Ho Park? Well done Joe Torre.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Who didn't see that coming. Chan Ho Park, seriously?

[Soul]

Braun homers, tie game. How terrible is that?

[Andy]

Haha, Park pulls a Lilly with his glove.

[SouthSideRyan]

What in the eff was that Park? Don't give Braun anything close to the plate, let alone a meatball over the center.

[Soul]

I'll take me some Dodgers in the playoffs over the DBacks or Marlins, thank you very much.

[BCVM22]

Soap drop you, Dodgers and soap drop you, Chan Ho out-of-the-Park.

[manbearcub]

I thought the Dodgers had a good bullpen? Chan Ho Park....are you kidding.
