Vicente Padilla. The fate of the Dodgers' season has come down to Vicente Padilla. And what's worst is that they have reason to be confident. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU NATIONAL LEAGUE
Teams try to save money by not spending money on the middle of a bullpen, when you need someone like Durban who can throw two innings in the middle for you...
At least this time he's not facing Joel Pineiro.
Goose - October 21, 2009
Yeah, though we may see Chan-Ho Park in more high leverage innings.
marc w - October 21, 2009
Letting Chad Billingsley pitch would be silly.
abender20 - October 21, 2009
Why go with the guy with a career K/9 of 8.23
and 11.65 when you can go with Vicente Padilla!
Billingsley should ask to be traded to a team that would value him. A team like the Mariners.
bluemax - October 21, 2009
Lopez for Billingsley!
sigh
.Taylor - October 21, 2009
Godspeed
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Go baseball
royalcurve - October 21, 2009
Go baseball.
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
I think baseball's get up and go got up and went.
royalcurve - October 21, 2009
I can listen to about 40 minutes of this
Though I’m not totally convinced I need to…
I mean, yay, baseball!
Also, they’re playing Thunderstruck. That gives me a case of the sads…
section331 - October 21, 2009
Aw rats
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Ethier!
bluemax - October 21, 2009
Thats what you get for throwing the same pitch in the same place 5 times in a row.
Goose - October 21, 2009
That Manny Ramirez sure is done as a hitter.
bluemax - October 21, 2009
How did he adjust to that pitch
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
If only he could get around on pitches anymore that would've been a double
OlSalty - October 21, 2009
I hope Raul gets in there and clears the bases
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
Or hits a solo shot, wow
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
Padilla struggling? No way....
OlSalty - October 21, 2009
Fuck life
bluemax - October 21, 2009
This pleases me
Graham MacAree - October 21, 2009
This game of basedball sure is fickle
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
SUCK IT LA!
FUCK YOU MANNY! See you next year.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
There must only be about three guys that don't use batting gloves
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
So, is trhat a french wax on Werth's face?
msb - October 21, 2009
What is up with all these home runs
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Don't know
Not a whole lot of wind.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Per Dave Campbell, Hamel's fastball is pretty straight tonight.
maybe Padilla is reverting to suck?
msb - October 21, 2009
James Loney?
bluemax - October 21, 2009
What the eff man
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
62 degrees, 60% humidity in a small park?
msb - October 21, 2009
He got a strikeout!
JMKaustin - October 21, 2009
Chase Utley has "steely resolve" says Campbell.
msb - October 21, 2009
God damn it
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Rauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulllllllllllllllll
msb - October 21, 2009
Fire Torre
bluemax - October 21, 2009
Na NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
HEY HEY HEY goodbye Dodgers.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
This is going to be the GREATEST Dodgers come back EVER!
mark sobba - October 21, 2009
Going to be a an amazing come back.
mark sobba - October 21, 2009
Joe Torre's reputation gets anymore polishing in the press I'm gonna hurl
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
It is sickening.
mark sobba - October 21, 2009
This come back is going to be AMAZING!
mark sobba - October 21, 2009
It's hard not to bust out the all caps already JOE TORRE ENGINEERS AMAZING POST SEASON COMEBACK FOR THE AGES
This is gonna be awesome!
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
The media will go crazy, scoring all those runs in the 9th as I am sure they will do when it comes.
mark sobba - October 21, 2009
Apparently some Dodger guy hasn't been the ignitor, I'm feeling like it's all gonna come together in the 9th
Whoever this guy is, he’s going to catch on fire, book it baby
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
They are too tight right now. If only the Dodgers had a Designated Tickler.
And I don’t think Joe Torre is a tickler.
mark sobba - October 21, 2009
He kind of looks embalmed
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
You should see him when he is down.
mark sobba - October 21, 2009
It looks different?
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
I'm trying to remember what he looks like when he's happy, completely blanking on this.
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
Sure. But you have to be close to him or be facial experter to know it.
There was that time he… well… yeah.
mark sobba - October 21, 2009
He just looks younger, and yeah that's about it.
Check out the chops and the sleeves!
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
Wow, that's terrible quality
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
Maybe he misses his chops?
mark sobba - October 21, 2009
The card makes him look like he is getting ready to take a swing at an angel.
mark sobba - October 21, 2009
I do, check this mug out
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
Notorious hotsauce
cwel87 - October 21, 2009
ewwww
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Reminds me of the Joe Torre years
Poochie - October 21, 2009
I get that look when I have been drinking for too long.
mark sobba - October 21, 2009
.
“When someone asked Joe Torre how he’s able to stay so calm and even-keeled, the 69-year-old manager quipped: “That’s because I’m old and tired.”"
msb - October 21, 2009
Jesus George
basebliman - October 21, 2009
The band that's the sequel to Jesus Jones
basebliman - October 21, 2009
Wooooo Orlando Hudson
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
This game has settled into a slow and painful stage.
msb - October 21, 2009
Did the 5th inning just last approx. 45 minutes or did I lose track of time?
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
I had the same exact thought
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
So that was kind of an error but it won't be counted as an error
And this is not a problem?
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Looked like the 2B didn't like that exchange, to close or off balance?
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
I don't like Clayton's facial hair
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Teams try to save money by not spending money on the middle of a bullpen, when you need someone like Durban who can throw two innings in the middle for you...
msb - October 21, 2009
I had to go look it up; Durbin is making a whopping $1.635M
msb - October 21, 2009
These guys are giving me fuzzy memory flashbacks to childhood.
With all the untrimmed facial hair, sideburns, and curly locks hanging out from under the caps. Throw in the 3/4 cut sleeves and bingo.
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
FUCKING STOP WITH THE HOME RUNS ALREADY
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
YOU'RE MAKING IT HARDER FOR BRAD LIDGE TO DO HIS JOB
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
SERIOUSLY?
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Jiminy Christmas
Aaron Campeau - October 21, 2009
I think J-Rol was celebrating Victorino's HR for him.
msb - October 21, 2009
Holy moly that slow motion shot was beautiful! Perfect
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
woof woof woof
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Typical
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
arf?
Poochie - October 21, 2009
BUH BYE LA!
SUCK IT MANNY!
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
I JUST WANT ONE GOOD SERIES IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Angels, Yanks has been pretty good
Two amazing games.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
The Yankees are up 3-1
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Yeah but it could easily be 2-2
Or 3-1 the other way honestly.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Let Philadelphia win this game and completely dominate whoever they see in the World Series
The American League is very poorly represented.
cwel87 - October 21, 2009
And by poorly represented I mean the two remaining teams either have annoying announcers or are completely void of a soul
cwel87 - October 21, 2009
There's something gratifying about Victorino and Werth, two guys who used to get mocked by the LA press,
drop the hammer on their old team
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Jayson Werth makes this team really just offensively ridiculous
Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, RAUL, Shane Victorino, and Werth? Yes please.
cwel87 - October 21, 2009
ManRoid's last AB of the year
How will he do?
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
His last name doesn't even have a d in it
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Man-Ram is perfect and I don't know why anyone would want to fuck with that nickname
Poochie - October 21, 2009
I don't get it
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
It implies that he likes to have homosexual relations
as in “ramming” another man
Poochie - October 21, 2009
How dirty and edgy
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
; )
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Please stop referencing past steroid use, whether it is implied, known or assumed.
Aaron Campeau - October 21, 2009
Okay
Not any more.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
He's really just copying my Gay-Roid nickname
Poochie - October 21, 2009
See and I call that wonderful player
Pay-Rod.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Rally Rally the pitcher's name is Ryan
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Tonight the Dodgers go out
Tomorrow we take the Rally Monkey out to a shed and shoot it.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Manny used to look like a normal person before he put on weight and got hair extentions
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Manny being Manny
Walking.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
C'mon!!! Never give up!
Poochie - October 21, 2009
9-4
Ya never know!
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Base!
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Ball!
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Based!
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Balls!
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Bases!
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
On!
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Balls!
Poochie - October 21, 2009
WOOOO GET THE WALK
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
LETS GO WALK OFF WALK
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Come on
Bring on Lidge!
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Go-Go Gadget Lidge?
Poochie - October 21, 2009
YES! 4 more!
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
5 more
Got a bit ahead of myself.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Aw Loney
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Un-productive outs aren't going to help!
Poochie - October 21, 2009
WALK INTO THAT YOU PIG FUCKER
Poochie - October 21, 2009
GOD
Poochie - October 21, 2009
GO BACK ACROSS THE BORDER
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
ALL I AM ASKING FOR IS A SIX RUN RALLY
Poochie - October 21, 2009
FIVE AND THEN A RUN LATER
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Forgot the score
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Well since they scored a run this inning it would be a six run rally
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
I am sorry
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
You're still number one in my book sugartits
Poochie - October 21, 2009
That was a ballsy take
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Eat it Madson
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Eat what?
Poochie - October 21, 2009
The umpire's shaft
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Thanks for straightening that out
Poochie - October 21, 2009
No I think that happens naturally when it becomes erect
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Really it thought it was kind of curved bit live a learn huh
Poochie - October 21, 2009
.
msb - October 21, 2009
FUCK YES!
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA HEY HEY HEY GOODBYE DODGERS!
Now if we can get rid of the Angels and their Rally Monkey tomorrow.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Aw fuck
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT!
Don’t really want a repeat but its a damn sight better than a Yankees win.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Yawn
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
Way to take a clear strike and swing at a pitch three feet outside
dumbfuck
Poochie - October 21, 2009
What happened? I stopped watching.
mark sobba - October 21, 2009
He's almost as good as Franklin!
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
I don't like Ryan Franklin
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Lidge warming up
Its not over…
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
This is such bullshit
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Such awesome BS
SCREW LA!
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Some people want to watch baseball
Poochie - October 21, 2009
I know that
But the Dodgers had their spirit broken by Rollins.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
They did?
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Yup
Torre ain’t no savior.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Managers often have little influence over whether their team plays well or not
Poochie - October 21, 2009
It's always nice when he breaks in new subs
Gihyou - October 21, 2009
So, both teams could be set by thursday night, and then have to sit until October 28th.
msb - October 21, 2009
MLB version of the Super Bowl waiting period
minus some of the retarded.
stupidquestions - October 21, 2009
Yeah it gets much more retarded and my season ends with September
The NFL already lost my attention with all the b.s.
Kermit. - October 21, 2009
OH YES!
10 SPOT!
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Lidge time!
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Suck it Dodgers.
Goose - October 21, 2009
Dammit Brad
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Seriously
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
Where's Scott Podsednik when you need him?
Poochie - October 21, 2009
1 more!
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
So what was the rationale for starting Padilla again?
Slurvey - October 21, 2009
No one else
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Kershaw?
drblacknwhite - October 21, 2009
Don't they need him for game 6?
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Miguel Cairo is going to the World Series.
Aaron Campeau - October 21, 2009
As is Raul
: (
Poochie - October 21, 2009
He's not terrible and seems like a nice enough guy so this doesn't bother me
Aaron Campeau - October 21, 2009
I never liked him
Poochie - October 21, 2009
You complain about Pujols
Aaron Campeau - October 21, 2009
Look at the act he had to follow!
Poochie - October 21, 2009
And Jamie!
msb - October 21, 2009
It's a shame he isn't active
Poochie - October 21, 2009
Actually he'd be rather ineffective if he was
Gihyou - October 21, 2009
It seems I will be rooting for a repeat champion
gay
Poochie - October 21, 2009
On the pregame they mentioned the oddity that 6 closers had imploded post-offseason ... and Lidge of all people had 3 saves
msb - October 21, 2009
Congratulations to the Phillies, who get the chance to defend their title.
Goose - October 21, 2009
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
This is surely two games early
Poochie - October 21, 2009
I MEAN NO HYPERBOLE WHEN I SAY THIS IS THE WORSSSSSSSSSSST
Dewey N - October 21, 2009
YES YES YES!
BUH BYE DODGERS!
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
They couldn't have picked a lamer song
Poochie - October 21, 2009
At least on this dark eight-year anniversary,
Joe Torre himself now knows the feeling of losing in the LCS two straight years to the same team.
stupidquestions - October 21, 2009
Wow.
“And send the Yanke…..and send the Red So…..and send the Phillies to where they want to be.”
That pretty much says it all.
Goose - October 21, 2009
I think Jayson Werth is on methamphetamine.
Aaron Campeau - October 21, 2009
Seriously, what the fuck
Aaron Campeau - October 21, 2009
I'm not sure he can hear the questions very well, and he sounds like he has been yelling for the last 3 hours.
And I am SO disappointed in Sager.
msb - October 21, 2009
I agree
Seriously, he sounds both drunk and high.
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
Howard is the NLCS MVP!
Well done!
skywaker9 - October 21, 2009
You jackenape you don't acknowledge when they boo your network.
Aaron Campeau - October 21, 2009
Aww, Raul
Aaron Campeau - October 21, 2009
Ernie did not appreciate Charlie Manuel snatching the mike for himself
Gihyou - October 21, 2009
So we never have to hear about Philly sports' fans pain anymore, right?
Or will that only stop if the Iggles win it all?
stupidquestions - October 21, 2009
:(
The Eagles.
cwel87 - October 21, 2009
Hey,
it’s not just me.
