I keep thinking what a shame it is it isn’t October. Dodgers 6, Phillies 5.
What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

It had the feel of a tight playoff game

Three riveting games. Great performances by Bills, Herrera, Gordon, Jansen. And I’ve missed pretty much every inning :(
That’s OK as long as we win :)

Could a a four game sweep be in order? Probably not (Hamels vs Harang) Hamels who is already having an outstanding season rules the Dodgers anyway and Harang gets beat up by the Phillies.
Still if you told me Sunday night we would take three of four I would have been ecstatic!
BTW for all the people who keep refusing to believe the Dodgers are for real… going back to last year in the Dodgers last 162 games they are…
92-70.
From August 1 they are..
70-42
They are real and Donnie knows how to manage.

Except for the overuse of bunting

Beat me to it.

I don’t care who’s pitching, the Dodgers should be thinking sweep. Kenley probably needs two days off, preferably more, and Ethier could stand a rest, but the rest of the crew’s been getting it done. Even Coffey contributed yesterday.

We’re kind of playing with house money today against Hamels…which is why last nights game was so important. Excellent win…and VERY entertaining. I love watching Abreu’s at bats…even on a bad night (3K’s) he did walk once and saw 19 pitches. I used to get annoyed with Joe Torre when he would say that Mark Sweeney provided “professional at bats”. I got angry because Manager Joe was misusing the term. Now…Bobby Abreu? THOSE are professional at bats.

Sweeney unquestionably provided professional ABs, in the sense that his contract paid him for standing at the plate, but you and I could do just as well.
