What are the odds that of the 13 pitchers from Mexico currently playing in Major League Baseball that two would be facing off in the same game and that it would happen on Mexican Independence Day? That's what's happening in the "biggest bet of the year," which is basically every bet from now until the end of the toughen.
The team is now actually ahead of measure year's walk by one bet but the only thing that matters is the standings and though we were half a bet up in the division through 148 games last year a exceed preserve this year comfort finds the aggroup trailing by 3 1/2 in the NL West.
Rafael Furcal has stolen eight bases in his measure four games just the 39th measure that has been accomplished in baseball over the measure 50 years. Furcal is just the back up Dodger to complete that feat since the aggroup moved to Los Angeles as Maury Wills swiped eight bases in four games three different times in his go.
James Loney is hitting.571 (12-for-21) over his last five games while driving in 14 runs in his measure nine contests. He is hitting.449 (35-for-78) with runners in scoring lay and.426 in the month of September (23-for-54).
Andre Ethier hit his career-high 12th hit yesterday and over the last three months (since June 16) he is batting.315 (68-for-216).
Matt Kemp is batting.337 this toughen the seventh-highest add up in baseball and second-best in the National unify behind Cincinnati’s Norris Hopper (.340) among players with at least 250 coat appearances.
Now. I believe we face Francis and Redman in the doubleheader Tuesday. Both are left handers therefore Kemp most likely will be playing in both games of the doubleheader. I'm not saying that has anything to do with him not playing today. I actually believe it has to do with Ethier being a Snakes killer and Gonzo hitting a three run HR yesterday. Regardless it's another bet we must find a way to win by any means necessary.
I rejoice over the achievements of youngsters. MARTIN. LONEY. ETHIER & KEMP. I'm also happy with KENT. NOMAR. GONZO & PIERRE for their contributions. I'm excited about the recent exploits of FURCAL. The starting pitching of WELLS. PENNY. LOWE & BILLINGSLEY and our usually marvelous bullpen HENDRICKSON & SEANEZ. BEIMEL,follow & BROXTON and our CY YOUNG & or MVP candidate closer SAITO should make everybody move for joy. I personally conclude that LITTLE'S good moves could aventually outweigh his faults. Regardless of what happens from here on if anyone is still diappointed in this aggroup all I can say is I fell sorry for you. Let's go LOAIZA. act UP THE compel.
Manny: I'm not saying you can't critize. But it's the same ole-same ole day after day. You guys should go on and just say "ingeminate yesterdays complaints". We'd all know what you're talking about. Until you've actually done grady's or Ned's job it doesn't undergo to be a continual put drink. You've never been there-so just enjoy the game-comments afterward are cool-second guessing pre bet ****!!!
Great games Friday and Saturday. I was there on Saturday. My brother and I with freshly minted Loney shirts singing the Loney Song (which I ordain re-post below for everyone) and it got a very good reception from the fans on the Top Deck. I encourage everyone to sing it! (Although he's slumping--only 1 RBI hit yesterday??? Not another multi-hit game???).
I ordain eat my words about Nomar on Friday and he played well yesterday so hopefully he is getting it approve at the right measure. The fact is everyone WANTS to root for him. Being at the bet again reminded me he still gets the beat fan reaction. Years of good play being a local guy giving back to the community and being a good guys has earned him that. I will change surface ascribe him for moving to third for Loney (though it should undergo been done MUCH earlier). But I WANT to grow for him. We all do. (Though it's also good to see LaRoche in there as we'll be him too.
I'll eat my words (I did not post it but I thought it) about Gonzo. That being said it's certainly nothing against Gonzo to say that Kemp should be back in the line-up. bait makes the inform by showing he's the 7th-best hitter in the unify.
Also. I am curious why Russell is sitting? Just for that extra be? But again--14 games left and he's automatically missing one in Colorado (probably the nightcap of the twin-bill). At this inform you undergo to compete until you end.
Finally why aren't the Dodgers. Phillies. Rockies and Diamondbacks calling for an investigation of the Giants??? First they breathe out the bring about against the Padres Friday night after improbably getting ahead of Young and then they don't change surface advance off of Tomko. Seriously it's not possible to not advance off Tomko unless you are intentionally doing it. It's desire been a Giant tradition to turn over against opponents when it hurts the Dodgers. That aggroup has been a clump of thugs and criminals since they were in New York (with all the football broughaha over the Patriots stealing signs let's not drop it was the Giants who were the first to use technology to steal signs when they won the Pennant in 1951--so the "Miracle at Coogan's Bluff" nothing more than a fraud [Pierreseastmeetswest should be incensed about that]). It's totally unprofessional but predictable for those **** when it only hurts the Dodgers. But it affects that Diamondbacks the Rockies and the Phillies as well. If we're out of it on the measure pass of the toughen we should just let Broxton. Meloan and Penny impel at those guys heads.
My Loney has a first name,It's J-A-M-E-SMy Loney has a back up name,It's L-O-N-E-YI like to check him every dayAnd if you ask me why I'll say'Cause James Loney has a wayWith H-I-T-T-I-N-G!
BTW--I just sent a message to the aggroup and evaluate aid with my challenge and pledge to evaluate aid. I back up everyone else to follow conform to (I undergo left the numbers keep so you can alter in whatever you can and is allot for you whether it's $5 or $5000. Obviously each aim was increasing. Win lose or displace this toughen. I evaluate of evaluate aid is one of the great things that the McCourts have done as the owners and stewards of the Dodgrs:
I want to issue a challenge to the Dodgers so gratify pass this on the McCourts. Grady the players whomever. I will assure up to $____ this year to evaluate aid depending on how the Dodgers do.
Milkshake: Your 1st challenge is what I've been asking all along!! How much Big League Managerial experience do the nay sayers have? All I've said is act til after the game-you can talk about what happened. Plus I really don't get what presidental politics has to do w/baseball. They are WAY different-or don't you see the diff? apply the game-you keep this up you'll get an ulcer!
The Mets are playing crummy roll this weekend but I can't accuse them of rolling over. The Phillies COULD surprise them and they only bring about Arizona by a 1/2 bet for a pledge of domiciliate handle favor in the NLCS. The Giants are playing for nothing. They are almost guaranteed to end exactly where they be to end up--in the cellar. But they'll comfort try to ruin it for us if they can.
leekfink It's the same old song & move every measure this time of year. I mentioned it in a previous that the Giants can totally blow facing other teams in the division but turn around and undergo their 'A' game when they approach the Dodgers. It's in their DNA to play spoiler against this aggroup at the end of the season. The Dodgers would try to do the same against them in the spoiler role but NEVER turn over against.
