Baseball (MLB, WBC, College, etc.)

Dodgers-Giants, 4-4, in the 11th.

EDIT: 5-4 Giants, top of the 12th. :sweat:

EDIT2: Casey Blake just homered to tie the game. :applaud:

On to the 13th. :sweat:

EDIT3: Relief pitching falters and the Dodgers lose, 7-5. :shakehead:

Speaking of sorry relief pitching, a shout out here to Orioles' pitcher Koji Uehara. Had a 3-1 lead after 6 innings against the Yankees and the bullpen gave it up. [/list:u] His won-lost record is only 2-3 and pitching for the O's we can't really use that as an indication of how well he's pitched. In about 34 innings, he's walked 7 and struck out 32!! A 2-1 strike out/walk ratio is considered excellent, this guy is almost 5-1! I'd like to see what he could do with a good team.

Dodgers lose first game of road trip 5-3 to Phillies. Chan Ho Park (who was supposed to be washed up 3 years ago) pitched a solid game.

And he pitched for the Dodgers last season, didn't he?

Dodgers are now 1-4, post-Manny. :sweat:

Dodgers win one in Philly, 9-2, thanks in part to six fine innings from Randy Wolf and four RBI from James Loney. :victory:

And the Dodgers still have the best record in baseball... :)

Broxton blows the save :beatyou: but gets the win :victory: (right now I'll take them any way I can get them)

Like I said a while back, it wouldn't be the first. :sweat:

but gets the win :victory: (right now I'll take them any way I can get them)

Whew. :sweat:

Taking two of three from the Phils is a good thing. :victory:

Dodgers rally to beat the Marlins, 6-4. :victory:

Marlins beat Dodgers 5-3. On the bright side, Juan Pierre went 3-for-5. He's only hitting .406 since taking over for Manny. :hot:

LOL, John Lackey gets thrown out of the game after two pitches and the Angels lose to the Rangers, 5-3. :victory:

Dodgers rout the Marlins, 12-5.

Clayton Kershaw had a no-hitter for seven innings.

Guillermo Mota was unimpressive again, giving up a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth. :shakehead:

That's my fault. Made my usual Sunday morning Mitsuwa run. Got back home, it was the top of the 8th, saw the line score and said, "Hey Kershaws got a ho-hitter!" :bonk: [/list:u]

It didn't help that KCAL9 kept flashing all kinds of no-hitter factoids from the sixth inning on. :sweat:

Dodgers win in 11 over the Mets, 3-2, after some bungled base running and errors (five total for the game) by the New Yorkers, reminiscent of their Casey Stengel years. :hehe:

Dodgers are now a league-leading (and surprising), 27-13. :victory:

Dodgers win again, 5-3, over the Mets, thanks to a Casey Blake three-run homer. :woot:


Manny who?? :beaten:

Dodgers and the Mets are in a pitching duel, tied 1-1, in the eighth. :sweat:

EDIT: Dodgers win, 2-1, and sweep the Mets. :woot: :victory:

Angels beat Dodgers 3-1 (did I mention I hate interleague play) :bleh: [/list:u] But Kenshin Kawakami gives up just 3 hits in 8 innings, out pitches Roy Hallady and the Braves beat the Jays 1-0. :applaud:

I hate it even more 'cause the Dodgers are the worst in interleague play of all the teams in baseball AND that they were beaten by the despised Angels of Los Angeles-Anaheim-Disneyland-Orange County-Southern California. :bleh:

Dodgers beat the Angels in 11 on a bases loaded walk-off walk, 5-4. :victory:

Dodgers lose to the Angels, 10-7. :bleh:
