The HQ will not debate you on the shortest of the short lists.
A wave of relievers trailed him as he rounded third base toward home, having launched the game-winning home run that delivered the Dodgers to a fourth consecutive division title Sunday in a 4-3 victory in 10 innings over the Colorado Rockies.
Los Angeles is on the brink of becoming the first team to win four straight NL West titles. Their division lead increased to seven games after San Francisco lost at San Diego 7-2. He left after one inning because of spasms in his ribs and chest. The left-hander has been solid since coming off the disabled list after a herniated disk last month.
If one does attack you, try to chill like Jonny Gomes, and it might just go away. “I had to not throw as hard”.
“We’re all taking deep breaths, Vin”, Costner said. “He’s gone through a lot and had high expectations for tonight, and the body wasn’t responding”.
Los Angeles Dodgers’ Joc Pederson hits a two-run single during the second inning of a baseball g …
Yasmani Grandal’s RBI single gave Los Angeles a 2-0 lead in the first.
“I started to cry at the beginning”, he said. The Dodgers used 15 different starting pitchers.
While going 11 for his first 79 (.139) as a Dodger, a frustrated Reddick joked about the “baseball gods” making it up to him later.
McCarthy gave up two runs and four hits in 5 1/3 innings, struck out six and walked one.
Gray (10-9) has 26 strikeouts in his last two games, the most in such a span in Rockies history.
“My command was off and my fastball was off”, Bettis said.
Injuries forced Roberts to use 55 different players this season, including 31 different pitchers, with both numbers tying club records. “Without that it is incredibly tough to succeed”.
I know I ain’t getting his spot in the broadcast booth in L.A. Nobody can fill Vin’s shoes I fell sorry for the person who has to fill that void in L.A. He’s going to retire but before he does I have 1 very special place for Vin Scully and that is in my WALL OF HONOR. Scully said the pregame ceremony Friday was the loudest he has ever heard a stadium in his career, and the night hit a crescendo as he was leaving the field with Sandra, his wife of almost 43 years, and the Dodgers lined up on either side of the blue carpet.
“I’ve loved this game for 80 years”, he said.
The Dodgers and Colorado players jammed their dugouts to watch. “I don’t know how he does it, his research team is unbelievable, they find Little League stories and childhood stories”. The rookie has beaten the Dodgers twice this season, but hasn’t won that second victory over them on August 31. The old mark of 553.0 was set in 2009.
Scully was moved, exclaiming on air, “Are they waving up here?” Will I miss the games?

But there we were, my father and I, bonding at the ballgame, each brought together because of baseball. LeMahieu’s 38-game on-base streak and 13-game hitting streak ended as he went 0 for 4. He took some interest in helping my own uninspiring baseball career, catching my poor attempts at a curveball or throwing me enough batting practice until the callouses started to form on the palm of my hands. He is 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA in seven career games, including four starts, against Los Angeles.
