Yow, the Giants sweep the D-Backs, putting them three games back of the Dodgers... :victory:

And the Dodgers lead the Padres, 5-1, in the 7th inning...

And Manny has homered in the game (13 with the Dodgers, 33 for the season).

Incredible.

Think there's any chance that the Dodgers can sign him? He's gonna want big bucks, I'm sure. :sweat: :fingerscrossed:

Dodgers win again, 5-1, over the Rockies and the D-Backs lose, 3-2, to the Reds... Now the Blue Crew is 4-1/2 games up... Can they do it? :sweat: :fingerscrossed:

All I can say is I hope they have things wrapped up before entering San Francisco for the last three games of the season... Don't know how many debacles the Dodgers have had over the years with the Giants at the end of the season, with the Giants ruining things for the Dodgers... *having a Joe Morgan flashback* :bleh:

4-1/2 up with 14 to go. Even though their remaining games are against the Pirates, Giants and Padres, all terrible teams, a collapse is very doable. :sweat: [/list:u]

Absolutely... And I'm sure the Dodgers will at least try to oblige just to keep the faithful on the edge of their seat. :sweat:

Dodgers lose in extra innings :shakehead: but so do the Snakes!!! :woot:

How can the score be 1-0 in a park like Coors Field? :headscratch:

That's as bizarre as Hideo Nomo's no-hitter back in 1996 there... :beaten:

Dodgers beat the Pirates 8-2 but more importantly, Saito's back!!! :woot: [/list:u]

Sugoi...!! :victory: :woot: :applaud:

And Brad Penny pitches the ninth and gives up a two-run homer. :bleh:

Dodgers win again, 6-2, over the Pirates. :victory:


Notes:

Getting Manny Ramirez from Boston on July 31 has made a huge difference. He has a .402 average with 14 homers and 44 RBIs in 43 games.

The deal with Cleveland five days before that sent Blake to the Dodgers for two minor leaguers doesnft get mentioned as much, but the third baseman has 10 homers and 23 RBIs in 48 games.

Please Dodgers don't clinch on the Giants field again :fingerscrossed:

"Personally, I will take whatever comes" - Claude Rains, Casablanca. The celebration is on hold for the time being, in a game not as close as the score indicates, Pirates take the Dodgers to the woodshed 15-7. :beaten: [/list:u]

^ That was a nasty game to televise/watch. :bleh:

Dodgers beat the Pirates in 12 innings, 4-3... Now it's back home for three with the Giants...

Magic number is seven, with nine more games to go.... Six of them against the Giants... :sweat:

To say the Giants faithful are looking forward to popping the Dodgers bubble is an understatement....

Dodgers down 3-0 in the fourth inning to the Giants.

Uh oh. :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:


EDIT: Rockies beat the D-Backs, 3-2. :victory:

Dodgers now losing 7-0.... :bleh:

Greg Maddux has yet to win a game for the Dodgers... :shakehead:

I think the Padres and Giants conspired to do this to the Dodgers. :sweat:

Dodgers lose, but so do the Snakes, still 3 1/2 up with 8 to go. :sweat:

Dodgers lead the Giants, 5-2, in the fourth, thanks to a three-run homer by Manny and a two-run homer by Matt Kemp. :victory:

Manny homers again and Broxton tries his best to blow the lead, but the Dodgers win anyways, 10-7.

Broxton SHOULD NOT be the Dodgers closer. :shakehead: :bleh:
