Giants Win!
Belt, one of the few position players that makes Amy G look on the smallish side.
6-7-8 gives D, 9 goes 8 to get the W.
Thanks for taking down my previous thread, filo. I will get the date right tomorrow if I post the first one.
My daughter and I drove from basically Cheyenne, WY to Los Angeles in a little less than a day. A nice 17 hour drive yesterday.
Not sure why everyone around here shows this Filo guy so much respect. He ain't even a mod here. Just a lowly peon, like the rest of yous...
The 6-7-8 and 9 went 6-11 5 RBI 2 HRS 4 Runs & 3 BB
Good job by the bottom of the lineup
Dogs are playing pretty well. Hard to understand it. Aside from Ethier and Kemp and AJ Ellis, their hitters are not doing much. Aside from Kershaw, the pitching is not all that great. But somehow, they keep getting it done.
I am ready for some offense tonight, and a well-pitched game by Bum. Tired of being shut out, twice, by the Rangers, no less. Time to break out the hitting shoes. And for Baby G to hit his weight. Or maybe hit his height.
There is such a blind spot with that team around here, probably because it's the hated Dodgers. Hard to take them being good.
It's all pitching with them and a few hitters, just like Giants 2010. Pitching not all that great? Look at the stats for this year. Maybe you can make a case that their guys will regress, but it's no secret why they are doing so well SO FAR.
For this year, their 5 starters ERAs so far are 2.65, 2.87, 3.14 (is Lilly hurt?), 3.57, 3.59. Ours are 2.26, 2.41, 3.08, 3.24, and 6.00 (without the names of course you would have figured the 6 is Zito but it doesn't matter who it is)
So far not much difference, right? Except the team ERA is 3.14 for the Dodgers, 3.29 for us (2nd and 3rd in baseball). And then the defense....we've given up far more unearned runs.
Now to the hitting...they don't have a lineup? First of all, 3 very solid hitters out of 8 is pretty good. The role players are doing their part as well as ours are.
They are 2nd in baseball in OBP and 9th in runs scored (we're 17th and 23rd).
Every year some team does this and folks scratch their heads all year and yet that surprise team makes the playoffs. It sucks that it's LA's turn but it is what it is. Dogfight to the end, both teams make the playoffs IMO.
I can see that you posted msgking, but the content is completely blank. What's up with that?

Really, gp? Why u mad?
If I had Cameron's thin skin I'd run away too...
Repeat after me: the Dodgers are for real...the Dodgers are for real...
