LOL. :rofl: :shakehead:


Dodgers win again, 3-2, sweeping the Pirates. :victory: :applaud:

So far, so good.

And the Giants are in the cellar. :mrgreen:

Hiroki Kuroda in his first game at Yankee Stadium goes 8 innings, gives up 5 singles, walks 2, strikes out 6 as the Yankees beat the Angels 5-0. :victory:

Kuroda wins and the Angels lose... A win-win in my book. :mrgreen: :applaud:

2011 flashback: Dodger bullpen blows an 8-3 lead against the Padres... :shakehead:

8-8 going into the bottom of the ninth. :shakehead:

EDIT: Padres walk in the winning run with Andre Ethier at bat... Dodger Bullpen lucks out this time. :sweat:

Dodgers beat the Padres again, 6-1... Ethier homers and Kemp homers twice. :applaud:

Dodgers sweep the Padres with a 5-4 win, but Kershaw gets another no-decision. :(

Dodgers are red hot :shakehead: :sweat:

Sox fail to sweep Tampa, as they lost 0-1. Bats couldn't get it done today.

Old habits are hard to break: Dodger bullpen blows a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the ninth and they lose to the Brewers, 5-4. :shakehead:

A bit of Dodger trivia/history:

"Today is the 62nd anniversary of Vin Scullyfs first game as a Dodger broadcaster. The Brooklyn Dodgers lost 9-1 in Philadelphiafs Shibe Park, and just in case it hasnft quite sunk in how long ago that was, herefs the Dodger starting lineup from that day:

1) Reese SS 2) Shuba LF 3) Snider CF 4) Robinson 2B 5) Furillo RF 6) Hodges 1B 7) Morgan 3B 8) Campanella C 9) Newcombe P"

^ Wow, talk about a Hall of Fame lineup. :victory:

Another Dodger bullpen fail, they lose again to the Brewers, 3-2, in ten innings. :shakehead:

Sox got swept by the Rangers, in a brief two game series. Sox offense was no where to be found. :shakehead: There seems to be a rift between Bobby V and some players, even though they deny it. :sweat:

Dodgers avoid the sweep and beat the Brewers, 4-3. :sweat:

Darvish goes to 2-0 as Rangers pound the Tigers 10-3. Darvish went 6 1/3, gave up just 2 hits and 1 run. Struck out 5 but also walked 5. Gotta do something about those walks.

Dodgers beat the Astros, 3-1.

Another good outing for Ted Lilly and Kemp hits his leagueleading eighth(!) home run.

In Seattle, Mariners lost to the ChiSox 7-3, but Ichiro went 2-for-4 with 2 rbi's and Hisashi Iwakuma made his debut in relief, pitched 4 innings gave up 1 hit, 1 run, walked 1 and struck out 2.

In Milwaukee, Brewers lost to the Rox 4-3 but Norichika Aoki went 2-for-4 and had an inside the park home run! :woot:

First no-hitter in the majors this year and it was a perfect game!! :woot:

Phillip Humber ( :headscratch: ) of the White Sox tosses it against Seattle. White Sox won 3-0.

This guy has been up and down (mostly down) between the majors and minors since 2006. Until last year when he went 9-9 with the Sox he played for the Mets, Twins, and Royals appearing in 26 games compling a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. And this was his first complete game ever. Just shows to go you. :crazy:
