They're baaaaaack!

The Los Angeles Dodgers were lookin super sexy (just the way I like them) at Coors Field this evening as they powered their way back into wider lead on the Rockies for their division title. With consecutive home runs by Andre Ethier (3-4, 3 RBI) and another by James Loney (2-4, 3 RBI), the Dodgers took a 6-1 lead on the Colorado Rockies, and managed to hold them there for the remaining five innings.

This puts the boys in blue 3 games ahead of the Rockies, and I'm going to sleep better tonight knowing that.

Keep it up!

Dodgers blowing their lead.

The Los Angeles Dodgers took one in the rear in the 10th inning when Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who went 2-5 with 2 RBIs, lined one into center field with one out and the bases loaded.

Another blown save by the crumbling Dodgers after starting strong from the get go. Matt Kemp scored on a single by Andre Either (3-4, 1 RBI) at the front of the first inning, and my hopes were up. Casey Blake homered out to deep left center field, and we were rockin'. But our dear, sweet child of a pitcher, Clayton Kershaw allowed two runs on 4 hits before being yanked from the mound after 6 1/3 innings.

The Dodgers relief pitching and game changing errors have narrowed their lead in the NL West to just two games. I'm getting tired of being let down by my team late in the game, although Los Angeles manager Joe Torre remains hopeful that the boys in blue will hold on to their #1 slot. I recall us kicking some major ass with a killer offensive lineup sans Manny Ramirez a few weeks ago. Hint, hint.

Get it together, boys. And tell Frank I said to pony up a little more in the budget for some real pitching.

Wolfin' down the competition.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Randy Wolf stole the show yesterday against the Arizona D-bags to avoid a sweep at Chase Field. Just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle, Wolf struck out ten, and retired 20 batters straight. This comes after 13 no decision games of his 26 starts. Maybe he's finally heating up. Our bullpen could use some dirty.

Andre Ethier also smacked a multi run homer to help the Dodgers defeat Arizona 9-3.

Go Blue!
