Both starting pitchers were good.

The starting pitcher for Japan had a very slow, deceptive delivery to the plate... :victory:
Looks like Manny's outta L.A.: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AmaROHBziHEaRy0lEOvhOl05nYcB?slug=ti-manny082910
Dodgers get trounced by the Rockies, 10-5... Ted Lilly loses his first as a Dodger. :(
On a happier note, the Angels get swept again by the Orioles and get swept in the season series as well. :mrgreen: :applaud:

I was watching the game, and yeah, the pitch was a little outside, but when Manny started arguing and got booted I said to myself, "Manny's gone and he knows it." I have a feeling he went up to the plate thinking anything that wasn't a fastball right down the middle he was going to argue over.

I figured he knew he was on his way out and that factored into his blowup... "Might as well go out with a bang," in his mind.

Should be able to pick up a #99 Dodger jersey on EBay for next to nothing now.

Terrible weekend for the Sox, losing 2 out of 3 to the Rays and the season is really on life support now. :sweat:
Just noticed that San Diego has lost four straight... Tanking down the stretch?
EDIT: Make it five straight.

I hope they right the boat soon... I'd hate to see the Giants make the playoffs. :bleh:

Six straight losses. :shakehead:
"Stumbling to the finish line" would be an understatement. :doh:
Dodgers bullpen (Troncoso and Sherill) gets smacked around again and they lose to the Phils, 8-4. :shakehead:
With the Sox losing last night the season is pretty much over unless a 'miracle' happens. :sweat:
Dodgers lose again to the Phils, 5-1.
And San Diego's taking a dive like the Red October: seven straight losses now. :shakehead:

More good news for the Red Sox:
Pedroia could have season ending surgery
BALTIMORE (AP)—Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia is bracing for the possibility of having season-ending surgery on his broken left foot.
Pedroia will be examined on Friday.
gI have a CT scan early in the morning,h Pedroia said Thursday before Bostonfs game against the Orioles. gIf I have to have surgery, wefll do it later in the day.h
The injury originally occurred in late June. Pedroia returned for two games in August, then went back on the 15-day disabled list. The 2008 AL MVP and the Red Sox hoped for his return this month, but his recovery hasnft gone as swiftly as anticipated.
Pedroia is reluctant to write off the 2010 season, but acknowledged surgery is probably the best solution.
gI think that would make it heal more,h he said. gThey said therefs like a 50 percent chance that (without surgery) I could feel better and still, like what happened last time: I played two games and not be able to walk the next day.
gPutting the screw in is probably the best idea. Itfs a 90 percent chance that I heal, that that bone heals,h he said. gSo therefs a good chance Ifll have the surgery at some point.h
Pedroia averaged 150 games over the past three season. This year, hefs batting .288 with 12 homers and 41 RBIs in 75 games.
By having surgery now, Pedroia would be able to get a jump on his offseason workouts.
gI donft want to get to January and go through my workouts and not feel good and then I miss some of next year,h he said. gNone of us want that to happen.h
