Opening Day..........DODGERS baaaabbbyyy!!!!!

[WhatExit?]

Yesterday was the 29th anniversary of Kirk Gibson's walk-off World Series HR. Yesterday Justin Turner drove in all 4 runs for the Dodgers. The fan's beyond the centerfield wall catch of the walk-off HR was classic!

Cool that Culberson comes through too for the replacement of Seager. :thumbsup
Pitching is looking good......I'm liking how Roberts shows no hesitation to go to the pen. Even with your Ace. :thumbsup

 

[DILLIGAF]

Well Hooter.....seems the LADs are on their way. Still more work to be done of course.

Turner turning into a LAD legend. Happy for the local Long Beach resident and CSF graduate

but I still say....

F THE LADS!

[HOOTER SLED-]

Yankees tie up the series....:eek

Rut roh....Do I smell a Dodger/Yankees WS???????

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Chippin away on Hendricks.....:thumbsup

 

[DC-88]

Darvish in control[emoji106][emoji106] , and with the RBI looking better in his last AB than Utley or Pederson did.... Yankees Dodgers would be nice, and probably take even more attention away from the National Felons League? America?s pastime baby !!

 

[shintoooo]

Solid pitching by Darvish.

 

[Singleton]

Born in Chicago and life long Cubby fan. The Dodgers have this series, the Cubs have no relief pitching and the Dodgers are taking advantage of that. Dodgers are playing great ball and deserve to advance

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Wow.....Cubbies Fallin apart..:eek

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Dodgers are dealing tonight! I got my broom out from the rafters just in case. Going to be another tough one for the Cubs tomorrow. Everyone is locked in!

 

[shintoooo]

I have tickets to game 6 & 7 and I hope it doesn't get there [emoji3]

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Lock this up Kenley!!!!!!

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Yeaaaaaaa!!!!! Suuuckkkaa!!....3-0.....in charge yo! :thumbsup:champagne:

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Dodger bullpen still only given up 2 hits.....no runs:thumbsup:thumbsup

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

And here we goooooooooooo....can we sweep and lock it up tonight? I think so.........all cylinders firing. Let's go Doooooooddddggggeeeerrrrrsss!!!!!:thumbsup

 

[4Waters]

Shit, hope the Dodgers aren't throwing this one away so they can bring it home, I just want the win we've been waiting a long time.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Why the hell would they throw away 2 to bring it home? ....lol Still got tomorrow at Wrigley if they lose.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Not a fan of having Granderson, Utley, and Ethier start today. If you're going for the kill and the sweep....best guys aren't out there imo.

Granderson is terrible......

[KevinR]

Agreed!

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Granderson is terrible......

He hasn't done shit.....either has Utley.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

He hasn't done shit.....either has Utley.

Yeah.....but I have always liked him. UCLA guy.

Remember when he was at his prime and the Phillies worked us in the 2008 nlcs?

 

[rivergames]

They'll come back in the 9th!

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Yessss...go to the pen.:thumbsup

Madden is probably going for the lefty matchup, but Bellinger hits lefties well. I don't think Arrieta was doing bad. Shoulda left him in. Fuggit........

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Damn......we're into the pen though.....time to do work. 2 more shots. :thumbsup

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Yeah.....but I have always liked him. UCLA guy.

Remember when he was at his prime and the Phillies worked us in the 2008 nlcs?

He's a helluva ball player....hard not to like him. He used to drive me crazy when he'd do damage to us. He's been a solid presence for the youngsters on the roster. :thumbsup

 

[El Chingon]

You got tix at Wrigley??

Yup...flyin in Thursday for the SC/Notre Dame game. When I saw the possibility of a game 5....I jumped on it.

 

[Flying_Lavey]

As much as I'd love to see them sweep their way into the series, I don't know how long of a streak they could maintain so 1 loss in the NLCS would at least reduce that stress

Maeda is one hell of a middle reliever.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Yup...flyin in Thursday for the SC/Notre Dame game. When I saw the possibility of a game 5....I jumped on it.

Dayummm...that would be sweet. :thumbsup But I hope we pull this off.
As for South Bend........I dunno man......friggin Trojans and Darnold been Killin me. :grumble: We need no mistakes.....or the damn Irish gonna swoop. :eek

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Helllllz yea........just as we speak of a possible loss....lol.....within 1.....J mutha fuckin Tttttttttttt.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Here we gooooo...tie run on no out....:thumbsup

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?????

Doyers favor..... but baaaaad calll. No foul imo.

 

[Flying_Lavey]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?????

Doyers favor..... but baaaaad calll. No foul imo.

That was a BAD call. But Madden being a vetran manager shoulda realized not to argue it to the point of ejection unless Granderson gets on. The ONLY thing that bad call did was get Madden ejected cause he didn't think it out fully.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Dammmmiitt.....fuuuckkkk:grumble:

 

[Flying_Lavey]

Dammmmiitt.....fuuuckkkk:grumble:

Like I said, I'm ok with the loss. Monkey off the back. I believe Kersh is starting tomorrow and no more streak stress.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Sooooo...in the top of the 8th.....u get the tie run in.Puig on at 1st.......why not PH with Barnes for Grandal?....BArnes bat has been solid. U pulled Grandal anyways for a runner. Why not PH Culberson for Granderson.....he hasn't done shit.....and Utley...come one man.....PH with Forsythe..........uuuuugggggggg....The Cubs closer was on the ropes:grumble:

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Like I said, I'm ok with the loss. Monkey off the back. I believe Kersh is starting tomorrow and no more streak stress.

Wrigley is gonna be rowdy tomorrow. Honestly.....I'm not liking the way Kersh has not been on point. He's not the same in these situations imo. He needs a short leash. It needs to be won tomorrow.

I agree. But Roberts isn't relying on his starters to go 7+ innings. He's pulling them early and spreading the load amongst the VERY strong bullpen. I'm betting Kersh holds them to 1 run and the bullpen keeps them scoreless tomorrow.

 

[Carlson-jet]

Not a huge fan but.. Thank the lord for more excitement and they didn't just wash out. Ya, I have friends and Family that thrive on this shit.

Dude you read my mind . I hated that lineup right from the start. Pederson, Ethier ,Utley, Grandal, and obviously Granderson should have limited opportunities at this point. Hell, even Jason Heyward looked better than Granderson and neither one of them can hit their way outta a wet paper sack anymore . Doesn?t matter if you bat LH when RH guys who hit better are on the pine 3 rd time thru the order and everyone knows u can not score runs from the mound. Good shit though , been a long time coming to make a solid run at a championship . I feel like Kersh has been so well analyzed by opposing staffs he needs to change something up to throw hitters off just a bit but hopefully he goes at least 6 strong before getting the hook .

 

[nowski]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?????

Doyers favor..... but baaaaad calll. No foul imo.

In sports the one thing I hate is a bad call. It cost this guy a rare perfect game...
