Now...Top o' the order better step it up for Penny. He's going balls-out in this game.

1st and MFing 3rd. 0 out. Let's go!!

Nice infield single by Furcal combined with some heads-up base running by Penny puts men on first-and-third with no outs.

Now...for Whapee to GIDP.

We need a stolen base from Furcal here.

Whapee got so ****ing lucky...

1-1.

That's a pretty considerable risk for a marginal benefit. Seems pretty dumb to me. First and second with 0 out is fine, especially with Martin coming up and you haven't forced the hand of one of your top hitters. And like before... this isn't even taking into account how slow Kent is, which makes the risk even greater.

I understand that when the offense is struggling there is an incentive to "look busy," but statistically speaking (over the long haul, that is) aggressive baseball is self-defeating.

Heart of the order ain't gettin' it done here. C'mon Gonzo...

****in' A Gonzo!

2-1 Dodgers!

good job Gonzo!!

hell yes!!!! Mr. MVP!!!!!
