Nice little statement game. Making it even nicer was that it was against the Giants. The Dodgers needed to make a statement, and with the Giants and the Rockies beginning to get a little too close for comfort, a statement had to be made. Joe Wolf pitched one of his best games of the year, and they chased Joe Martinez. “Washed up” Manny got a homer and a double, Andre Ethier hit a three run double, and Matt Kemp hit a three run bomb to hopefully deflate San Francisco’s delusions of grandeur. Tomorrow we face Lincecum, but even if he throws a no hitter, the Dodgers will come out of this series at least 61/2 ahead of the Giants.
The Giants have a good young team, but this is the Dodgers year. There are still choking pangs I feel in the back of my throat, but the Dodgers went a long way toward quieting the Bar Debating Society with the win tonight. I swear I even saw some people that were Red Sox fans two weeks ago cheering for them. One thing that is cool about being in the Los Angeles area is that you can completely change who you are every two weeks, and it’s cool because everyone else is doing it to.
Red Sox-Tigers Brawl- Now was that cool or what! Every time you think the league is becoming a little too genteel, something like this happens. After taking turns throwing at each other yesterday, Rick Porcello hit Kevin Youkilis, and it was on. Those two got ejected, and then Terry Francona followed suit by getting ejected later on for questioning a stolen base call. Great stuff.
Jamie Moyer- Is unhappy about being removed from the rotation in place of Pedro Martinez. We love you Jamie, for all the hope you give all of us middle-aged Tommy John wannabes, but if you have an ERA of almost 6.00 and your team has hopes of repeating a championship, your opinion doesn’t hold much water.
