Los Angeles Dodgers at Pittsburgh Pirates Game Thread (June 14 - 16)

Oh great, we get to face Cole.

 

Big series with wildcard implications. We need to win 2 of 3.

 

We win 2 of 3.

If the bats wake up, we could sweep.

 

Howell (2 games), Schumaker (2 games), Belisario (1 game), Big Mac (2 games) and DBB (1 game) have been suspended.

Kennedy also got 10 games.

 

Wow. We got away with pretty mild suspensions. Howell and Belisario were no-brainers (Howell could've gotten a 15 game suspension and I wouldn't have argued), I wish DBB had gotten suspended for more than 1 game but you can't always get what you want, Big Mac didn't really do anything but get in people's faces but not sure what he said exactly, Schumaker is a surprise but I know he was in the middle of everything.

Good news is Kershaw and Puig aren't on that list, because that was a possibility. I guess fines are coming too?

Kennedy will miss a start or 2, so that's good.

I'm surprised Gerardo Parra didn't get suspended for his goatee, but maybe that ruling is coming later today.

 

Too bad that all the suspensions can not be heaped on one person, as this would be terrific if DBB could take the load.
Puig with nothing and tough guy Gibson without a game....and he's the one who ordered the whole thing and the escalation ensued, predictably.. The doddering old fuck has a big rep, but I've heard and now seen with my own eyes, he's not so fucking hard ass as thought.
Out of all the suspensions, I say Howell hurts us the most. Skip, a little, but the others are mehish.
Don't tell Mac...not good to get him pissed, not at all.

 

Beckett, Capuano, Puig and Greinke have been fined an undisclosed amount.

Montero and Parra fined for D-Bags.

 

Gibson got 1 game BZ. Him and Don can go out to dinner that day.

 

So sporting a gay Disney-villain goatee is subject to a fine and not a suspension. Good to know.

 

Don suspended tonight.
Hanely to start at SS tonight.

 

Puig back in the leadoff spot. HanRam hitting 4th

 

Haha...will one of them order crow, you think?

Howell on Ian Kennedy's 10-game suspension: "It should be 10 starts. He's an idiot. That's stupid."

 

This automatically gives us a 50% better chance to win!

 

He should of been suspended until the Dbags face LA. Then justice would be fulfilled :rubhands:

 

AJ was activated and Ramon was DFA'd!!!

 

Is this serious?
