Wow...my anti-Puig reverse psyche out mojo prediction really worked just as I planned, so you're welcome, all you donkey dicks. Seriously, DBB's lineup did work, and it worked well. They looked like another team out there tonight. I was a little puzzled and concerned over the Kenley usage...it all worked out, and possibly the break after the second game allowed him the freedom to do that. IDK. I guess he did have to pitch sometime soon as a closer. I've never seen a player go from first to third on a basically routine hit like that as Puig did in the 2nd. It was almost superhuman... Wonderful game by the "struggling" Kershaw, and a big, knowing smile for the fucking loudmouth Medlen, who can kiss my blue spotted ass. And most amazingly, not really a bad game by the umpires, who for the most part, were almost good. Feel bad for Dre; he played a big part in getting us here holding down CF as he did,,,much more than Kemp, for sure. I'm wondering if DBB contemplates any change from Skip in CF at any time...maybe SVS and a Puig in CF thing? IDK...probably not....
The announcers sucked, but I LOL'ed when they were discussing rest vs staying in rhythm, and Ripken said I'd prefer to keep playing because you lose your rhythm if you sit, and Dibble goes "how would you even know that, when did you ever sit." It was half compliment to Ripken, half making him look stupid. I hate that I'm gonna probably miss most if not all the game tomorrow. Will be getting off of work at 4, and hour and half commute home gets me home at 530. Will listen on radio but I hope I get home in time to watch Kenley shut it down. I'm glad they pitched Kenly today, because he looked rusty. He's that catch 22, he always looks super sharp when we pitch him a lot, and looks stupid rusty when he gets breaks, but of course we don't want to pitch him a lot either. It's playoff time though, preservation goes out the door (within reason of course). Curious to see if SVS starts tomorrow or we stick with Schumaker, facing a lefty.

I hope the Dodgers holding out tickets to get people to buy season seats doesn't cause empty seats on our front. You never know. 09 had a lot of empty seats for some reason. Anyways, is this the same season as the SD brawl? This year was long. lol Greinke wearing his Magic shirt in his interview lol
What kind of stuff does Minor have? I think the consensus is SVS just has a long swing. Going up against lefties he's obviously better but I think velocity is more of SVS's issue. Could be wrong though. I don't pay close enough attention to him as an individual.
I have a really good feeling we are going back to LA up 2-0. I too am interested to see what DBB does with the lineup tomorrow.
Fastball, changeup, cutter, occasional slider for Minor... Velocity isn't top notch, sits pretty much at 90 I believe. Righties do better than lefties on him thats for sure... Idk about have 3 out of 8 hitters in the lineup being lefties, especially when Carl/Skip are two of those and they sucks dick against them. I might go with: Puig RF Mark 2B Hanley SS Adrian 1B Uribe 3B SVS LF AJ C Skip CF Greinke We can try to do funny defense and have Crawford instead of Skip but idk, don't really like that
