Gotta say I'm shocked that playoff Joe "Quick Hook" Torre let this happen.

[Ed Hillel]

That was some sort of implosion. It really did remind me a tad bit of Ankiel.

L.A. sun went to his head. He's "chill" now. That or the ganja he's smoking over there.

[cwright]

Did Torre fall asleep mid-inning? That was painful to watch, and completely predictable.

[senzadubbio]

Is just warming NOW? Dodgers'll be down 5-1 by the time they are ready.

Next you'll be telling us there's no boy up in that balloon.

HAhahaha.

It was. Everyone here called it. We all knew Howard was gonna ruin Kershaw and he did. Fucking idiotic. You have an AWESOME PEN. It hasn't pitched in FOREVER.

USE IT.

[Ed Hillel]

It's really amazing how much this guy looks like Edge.

USE IT.

And the strangest thing is that Torre usually does the opposite. Maybe just in the AL, though.

[senzadubbio]

Did Ron Darling just say "Gar(e)," as if he's talking to Gary Cohen?

[Dionysus]

Maybe he only does it when his pen sucks.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

This is it for the Dodgers. If they don't make it up now, it'll take until the 8th or 9th inning against Lidge. Not that Lidge hasn't imploded himself this season, but hey, they're used to Hamels' pitches.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

That throw was the non-Utliest throw ever.

[Dionysus]

Where was he throwing?

EDIT: OK Manny, see if you have any of that old magic left.

I love Manny.

I miss him too.

Is Manny's walk- up music really "Mr. Brightside"? That is kind of awesome.

and now we see the power of positive thinking...

MANNY!

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

FUCK. I hate you Manny.

[shawnrbu]

What would Bob Lobel say?

[mikeford]

Eff Jason Bay

[senzadubbio]

Classic.

[Jack Sox]

Still fucking love that guy.

[kartvelo]

Dammit, where's that "I Miss Manny Ramirez thread?

[Dionysus]

I can't stop loving Manny. Sorry everyone.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Changeup was brutal too. God how I miss him, and yet hate him so much.

Bay can't hit change ups for HRs unless they're floating around his numbers.

[patinorange]

Yeah, I miss him.

[Seagull]

It was fun rooting for Manny again. Love that swing. And then the cut to Pedro for the reaction shot. They're trying to kill us!

[Dionysus]

That really isn't fair. We can't expect Bay to do what Manny can do. Manny is one of the greatest hitters to ever play baseball. Bay is a very good hitter, but thats it

[God's Cop]

Remember when we had offensive threats like that?
But oh no! He threw an old man down! Oh no, he hit Kevin "I bitch and cry about every strike and am a full head of hair away from being Paul O'Neill" Youkilis. He quit on us every year around the all star break, then would come back and tear the shit out of the ball.
I hope the Dodgers win it all this year.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

I know this. I don't expect Bay to put up Manny-like numbers or ABs for even that matter. I was just opining exactly your thoughts: that only a hitter of HOF caliber can hit changeups that good for HRs. Bay is good, just not THAT good.

And still, as much as I miss Manny, I'm glad we have Jason Bay. At least he doesn't dog it on the field. When Papi votes you off the team, you know you're a shithead.

[Dionysus]

TBS needs to do something really dumb right now so we can stop moping over losing Manny and go back to bitching them out.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

I don't know. I really hate this Symbicort commercial. Why does she keep turning her head away from the camera? It bothers me.

[Papelbot]

Thanks to the greatness of the moment and the quality of the shrooms, Manny's moonshot off of K-Rod will be forever etched into my brain.

That picture of Manny and the crowd and the falling bat and the players in the dugout is one of my all time favorite sports images.

It's fantastic.

If I had a vote Big Papi would be back in the Dominican right now and Manny would be the Sox DH... David is a baseball player that doesn't field, can't run the bases (dude can't even slide), and can't get around on the heat anymore. He was magic for a few years, no doubt about it. The truth is David Ortiz not only doesn't belong on the same page with Manny, he isn't even in the same chapter.

Manny DH would be fine by me. You're right, Papi is over the hill. But I think character has to have some place even in MLB. That's one thing Papi has that Manny never did. At least when he hurt his wrist, he knew which one was injured.

I tend to agree.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

So Charlie Manuel DOES know how to use a bullpen.

[Dionysus]

Now the game favors the Dodgers here on out. Phillies pen is... not good.

[5belongstoGeorge]

Q. Over/under on Bon Jovi's cosmetic surgical procedures?
A. 7.

[SemperFidelisSox]

So neither of these teams is beating NY/Anaheim. Hammels just can't find it this season and Kershaw just isn't that guy yet.

[Papelbot]

Might we see a LUSCIOUS TATER here?

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

All the more reason to desperately root for the hated Halos.

[Dionysus]

Man that was an out, but it was right on the nose. I'd love to see the Dodgers send Happ down the Rape Tunnel here.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Might we see a LUSCIOUS TATER here?

We might. If he can make solid contact it's going 445ft.

[ossie schreckengost]

blesssed by manny the dodgers will win.

i SOOOO want manny to win it, once again.

I want Manny to walk up to Petitte in the postseason and assrape him with his bat.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

That 0-1 swing was vicious.

[Dionysus]

Awesome.

I feel very fortunate to have been at that game.
