3-1 CFB win vs. MIL. Ho-hum, they win again.

They had nothing going at all, then before you know it Drew homers in the 8th and it's a new ballgame. After that it was just hang on until the Brewers blow it.

Valentin makes another error, yet comes through in the clutch with the lumber. I'm going to need heart medicine to watch this guy this season.

I'll take it!
Best Dodger start since I've followed baseball? Maybe it'll end up being the best Dodger season since I've been following baseball.

It would not suck to look back at Gibby's 1988 tater and say: "Yeah, that was pretty cool, but nothing like Bradley's shot in the '05 Series."

I was at the game in San Diego last night and it was electric. I swear there were more Dodger fans there than Padre fans. We got going some pretty loud, "lets go Dodger" chants to make our boys in BLUE feel at home.

They were down 1-0 damn near the whole game but I had faith and of course they did it again. I heart Jose Valentin!

bulldog55 · 04-21-2005, 06:52 PM

I haven't been able to watch nearly enough games this year but I'll be watching tonight. 12-2. This is unreal.

Petco is nice. I liked Qualcomm for sentimental reasons but Petco is superior I suppose. It's definitley in a nicer area of San Diego. There is more to do around the stadium that is within walking distance. Although parking near the stadium is $15, a lot more than it was a the "Q." To be fair though, parking was a mess at Qualcomm, that lot after the game made Dodger Stadiums look like a jewel. I did indeed drive down to San Diego for the game and it was well worth it.

DamnYankees · 04-21-2005, 11:36 PM

Damnit, mlbtv won't let me watch this game. Why not?? I watched last night's. Is this website just totally random in what it lets you watch?

I'm a little pissed.

Karros270 · 04-21-2005, 11:39 PM

That sucks. Are you paying for that?

Tib · 04-21-2005, 11:42 PM

LA at SD
2-0 SD in the 5th.

Why am I not worried?

bulldog55 · 04-21-2005, 11:44 PM

Beltre would have made that play.

Of course I'm paying for it. This doesn't make any sense. Yesterday it works but today I'm regionally blacked out?

Gah!!

It's already become my mantra.

Well, I was mentally preparing my post praising Erickson for working out of that jam....

bulldog55 · 04-22-2005, 12:54 AM

Well, I'm glad Trace and Errorman finally had enough because this umpire has no concept of a strike zone.

Karros270 · 04-22-2005, 01:01 AM

A couple of those strikes barely missed bouncing on homeplate. Argh!!!

Matzilla · 04-22-2005, 03:06 AM

Mega props to the Dodgers for their incredible 12-3 start. It must be icing on the proverbial cake to also know that the Jeff Weaver, Yhency Brazoban for Kevin "Bad Back" Brown trade has turned out to be one of the biggest fleecing in recent memory. Weaver's born-again hard, and Brazoban looks like he can throw his blistering fastball through a steel-reinforced concrete wall.

As for Brown, when he's not getting bombed like a naval target range he's busy making excuses for getting bombed. What an a-hole.

Well I definitely enjoyed the fleecing when it happened. I thought it was a great trade and I couldn't believe the Yankees actually did it.

I'm not ashamed to say that I thought we were getting fleeced on the deal. I recall thinking "Some no-name pitcher and a hack, for a guy that put together a career year last year? What are they? Freakin' nuts?"

I'm happy to say I was wrong.

Joshv02 · 04-22-2005, 10:40 AM

Dodgers d00ds, what happened to James Looney? Was he ever any good, or was it just scout BS? Is he hurt again now? For a big 1B he has absoultely NO power that I've seen

After a less-than-stellar year a AA Jacksonville last year, it looks like he's back there again now.

previous years' stats

Jax 2005

Bottom line: Don't hold your breath waiting for his next cup of coffee.
