Thread: The Dodgers Will Win The West...(and official Dodgers Post-Season Thread)

Its over. Hopefully this is Jeff Kent's last ever bat in a Dodgers uni.

Matt Stairs plays in the same winter men's league as I do. If he is ever so unlucky to have to face my team I'm going to ****ing annihilate him.

Well that really sucked ...

What he said...

Torre did not use his pitching changes well tonight...pulled Kuo too early and then it unravelled from there.

I didn't think I could dislike Broxton more, but I do.

Kuo was pulled too early.

I blame last night's loss on The Natural

apparently torre's NL experience was too long ago for him to remember how to manage a game. i don't think i've ever seen a game bungled like last night's. if a reliever bats, and it's not early innings after an injury to your starter or extra innings after your bench is empty, you have screwed everything up. lowe should have thrown 6+; wade shouldn't have pitched at all after having thrown two the night before, and kuo certainly shouldn't have been back out there to throw after having batted--there's no way a reliever can maintain focus after batting, nevermind the absurdity of using him to sacrifice to bring up kemp with two out instead of using a pinch hitter for kuo and having two chances at a hit to drive in the insurance run. it's not like nomar or kent are going to create something out of nothing in the 9th. calling for a bunt from kuo was the biggest waste of an out ever. then leaving him in and making a change with a runner already on, instead of giving wade (or perhaps, someone fresh) the opportunity to start the inning. this is horrible managing. and this is what i was yelling at my TV last night while the game was on. **** **** **** **** ****.
