Dodgers rout the Braves, 9-1... Now it's back home to face the Brewers on Monday.

Dodgers lose to the Brewers, 6-5.

Rockies are now 6-1/2 games back. :sweat:

Totally forgot about last night's Dodger game: they smashed the Brewers 17-4.

EDIT: They're currently losing 4-1 in the 5th. :sweat:

Dodgers lose, 4-1, to the Brewers. :(

The Giants are six out and the Rockies 6-1/2. :sweat:

Constriction of the neck in Dodger Stadium?

Dodgers snatch victory from the jaws of defeat on Andre Ethier's walk-off three-run home run against the Braves, 5-4. :victory: :sweat:

The Dodgers Jonathon Broxton blows another save and it's 5-5 going into the 10th vs. the Braves. :shakehead:

Bullpen implodes and the Dodgers lose in 12, 9-5. :(

Dodgers lose in 10, 2-1. :shakehead:

I went to last nights game. Actually it was pretty good. You had a good old fashioned pitchers duel with two contrasting styles. Kershaw blowing everybody away with hard stuff and Kawakami throwing mostly junk, getting a lot of pop-ups and weak ground balls to second base.

In a way it reminded me of some dramas I've seen. Real good up until the end. :beaten:

Yeah, Kershaw pitched a really good game... All for naught. :(

Slumping Dodgers lose again, 8-2, to the Braves. :(

Rockies and Giants are now 5-1/2 games back. :sweat:


Next up: The Giants in San Francisco. :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

Dodgers take the first game with the Giants, 4-2, despite Broxton trying to blow another save in the ninth... :shakehead:

Dodgers hammering the Giants in the 7th, 9-1. :victory: :woot:

The Dodger bullpen doesn't get involved 'til the very end, so the Dodgers cruise without incident, 9-1, over the Giants.

Going for the sweep today... But it'll be against the Giants' ace, Tim Lincecum. :sweat:

I better stop watching Giants /Dodgers games. Todays game gave me chest pains :sweat:

Worthless reliever Guillermo Mota gives up another home run and the Dodgers lose in 10, 4-2. :shakehead:

The Dodger bullpen sucks. :shakehead:

Dodgers lose to the D-backs, 4-1. :sweat:

Fortunately, the Rockies and Giants also lost.

Kuroda gets hit in the head with a line drive in the sixth inning... :sweat:

Broxton blows another save by giving up TWO homers in the bottom of the ninth to the D-backs... It's 3-3 in the 10th. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:

The Dodger bullpen is worthless. :grumble:

EDIT: Dodgers (not surprisingly) lose in 10, 4-3. :bleh:

[/list:u] You can't see him getting hit in the video, but the same thing happened to Kaz Ishii when he pitched for the Dodgers back in 2002: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oQAGalL_Q8&feature=related[/list:u]

Yeah, I was watching the game and saw it happen live... They gave the batter a ground-rule double... :sweat:

Yup, Vinny mentioned that during the lull when they were tending to Kuroda... Along with David Wright getting beaned earlier in the day during the Giants-Mets game. :sweat:
