Showdown at Chavez Ravine

Most of you have probably noticed the Dodgers stumbling a bit lately. At the same time the Rockies are red hot. Now the Rockies come to Dodger Stadium for 3 games. This is a golden opportunity for the Rock-heads to gain some ground before Manny is back on Friday. If they don't take advantage of it now with a sweep they may never get a better chance to get back in the race. I'm on the edge of my seat.

1. Well there's always the wild card

Honestly, I think that's what the Giants and Rox will be gunning for, if anything.

3. Yes I did notice some stumbling

so much so that a Mariner team, that you referred to as "hapless" after Friday's game, took 2 out of 3.

In fairness, the Mariners are anything but "hapless", not only do they appear to be a legitimate contender, but going into tonight's play..they've taken over the lead, from your Dodgers, for the best team ERA in baseball.

6. round 1 goes to the heroes in blue

4-2 in 13 innings and I breathe a sigh of relief. The Rockies go 0-the night with RISP. While 8 Dodgers hurlers share 17 strikeouts. How about Jeff Weaver striking out the side in the 10th with runners at first and third and nobody out? How about Ubaldo Jiminez getting a brain cramp by balking 2 runners over after thinking that batter Randy Wolf had called time when the umpire had not given him time only to be followed by a two out two run single by Wolf to tie the game? I'm loving this.

btw, GREAT job by former Dodger's skipper Jim Tracy. He took a Rockies team that was 15 games out and really turned them around!

8. Game 2 goes to the hated Rockies

Marquis almost pitched a perfect game, a complete game shutout giving up just two singles and throwing only 86 pitches.

In other new, Manny is back on Friday!!!:party: :toast:

9. ....and game 3 goes to the heroes in blue

1-0. What a great pitching duel between Jason Hamel and Clayton Kershaw. The whole series was a pitching clinic. The Dodgers only scored 5 runs total in the three games but still won two of three. The Rockies also only scored 5 runs total and the Dodgers' hurlers struck out 39 Rockies in the three games (in 31 innings).
