Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.

I tried to get the story up
because I though no one wanted it, but noooooo. I still think mine was better.
Yub, yub!
Don't delete it!
I’ll edit it and put both stories in.

Okay, kind of geeky…. but clever. :)

Why?
Are you doing the recap?

He started an overflow thread, yo
You missed the whole conversation in there…
by snakecharmer on Aug 20, 2008 12:21 AM EDT up reply actions
I meant I'd edit this one
and put both “stories” in it to give soco his due.
by snakecharmer on Aug 20, 2008 12:22 AM EDT up reply actions
I'm aware of the conversation.
And, if you check, nobody agreed to do it, so I did it.

Mine

Hardly
the only difference was you were trying to post in the middle of the inning so you had more to talk about.
Yub, yub!
Or else....
Rauch was having trouble until I posted the OF thread, at which point he finished off the Padres to end the inning…..

Get Skins!
Lyon’s meltdown is clearly the fault of his OF thread… :-)

Well....
I kept Rauch from losing it in the 8th, to give us a chance in the 9th….
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
Of course,
allowing the Padres to tie in the 8th would have allowed Adam Dunn to smack the walkoff homer in the 9th….

The radio annoncers are talking about how patient Young has been this season. It’s so absurd I had Dr. Pepper come out of my nose.
Jenny
did you close comments?

Ah,
I just went to do it after the 10 minutes and it was already closed. I was jw who had done it.

Hard to think Dunn is such a power hitter. He looks dorky up at bat.
It's like living with a six-year old.
But
he’s HUGE!

He's big enough
that he looks like he could hit’em one-handed

Since Maddux left for LA,
Chad Reinke will oppose Webb on Thurs. I think Reinke has had only one start this year, a win on Sat. against Philly. He went 5 innings and 102 pitches, gave up 5 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks and 5 strikeouts. Webby going for #19!
3-11, 5.47 ERA against us

He wasn't worked in like a week
Gotta keep him sharp
Well, it's gonna be totally awesome,
if we need him for a save situation tomorrow, and the next day, and then the next day, and the next day…. etc.
If you want him to get work in, pitch him on Sunday — before the offday.
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:35 AM EDT up reply actions
I don't disagree.
But it’s a slippery slope at this point. We might also not have a save situation until five days from now.
You're assuming one thing here.....
That we have a manager smart enough to think about things like that….
Blast!
Forgot about that.
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:37 AM EDT up reply actions
Except that
as Azreous already pointed out, we don’t know when he’d be able to get work. It’s pretty simple.
Yub, yub!
No.
Logic tells me that if you want your closer to get in work, you pitch him the day before the off day.
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:39 AM EDT up reply actions
Not that part
about needing him tomorrow and the next and the next. No one knows when the next save is coming, and so before an off day might be optimal it isn’t going change anything. Of course, it’s easier to assume you’re smarter than the manager.
Yub, yub!
Except
that giving him work the day before an offday means that, while it might not necessarily be helpful to give him that extra day, if you end up needing him for a bunch of save situations in a row, it won’t hurt, either.
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:56 AM EDT up reply actions
This is true
but this is always hinged on what will happen in the future, and unfortunately as this game showed, who know which player we’re going to get. The only good thing about Sunday, though, is that it already was a losing game, so it’s not like he’d do anything but make it worse.
Yub, yub!
I wonder what
His record this year is in save situations versus non-save ones?
by Jim McLennan on Aug 20, 2008 1:00 AM EDT up reply actions
Argh!!
Bases loaded, 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th in LA….. Corpas just walked Loney.

Russel Martin flies out,

Blasphemy!
But, I can let it slide since they are playing the Doggers
Nah. Not blasphemy.
I like the Rockies, especially their fans.

It's only not blasphemy
because they suck pretty bad this year, and they are playing the Dodgers.
If I had said that last year, I would’ve expected a mob, complete with pitchforks and torches.

Dammit.
I thought Edgar Gonzalez was on the DL.

at least Matt Holliday just homered.

Keep it in the infield, Peña!!

Well, not quite.
Gonzo’s single in game 7 was Russ Ortiz big.

I think he’s still alive…

Just as closer
I just meant the end of him trying to close out ballgames.
Feels like he’s been 2002 Kim level awful the past month.
by The Main Man on Aug 20, 2008 12:54 AM EDT up reply actions
Sometimes
but the entire bullpen has been rocky all year. Sometimes they’re great (like Qualls showed tonight) and sometimes they’re just awful. It’d be nice to have some consistancy, and I imagine this will be the first thing they try and fix in the offseason.
Not that I think the offseason is close, mind you…
Yub, yub!
Wasn't
2002 Kim pretty good?
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:59 AM EDT up reply actions
Better than that
36 saves with a 2.04 ERA
As with a lot of things about Kim, the myth of his awfulness far exceeds the reality.
by Jim McLennan on Aug 20, 2008 1:01 AM EDT up reply actions
I would mention that he was an All Star that year,
but of course, Brenly was the NL ASG manager..

Seriously, people!
I go downstairs for half an inning, and you guys almost let them come back to win it? I’m disappointed.
Am I avoiding the subject, or am I doing philosophy?
Get kishi!
It’s clearly your fault for going downstairs for half an inning. You are not allowed to do that for the rest of the season, y’hear me? :-)

If the team's chances depend on it
I’m going to need a collection to subsidize, among other things, a minifridge upstairs. And a good explanation to my wife.
Am I avoiding the subject, or am I doing philosophy?
I have a mini-fridge. It might look familiar to Mrs. Kishi.

Oh, it's only the times I point it out
I mean, today I didn’t even turn the game on until we had a 4-2!
Am I avoiding the subject, or am I doing philosophy?
And the Dodgers go down 1-2-3 in the ninth
Thanks, Rockies!
Am I avoiding the subject, or am I doing philosophy?
It's still
tempting fate….. the Dodgers had to face Jimenez tonight.
Nice to savor this, if only for one more day, though.
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
So...
One minute after I posted in the previous thread all my services from Cox went out. No phone, no tv, no internet. Should I thank them for sparing me the stressful ending to this game? Yikes.
