The Dodgers’ win last night kept the Reds from clinching the NL Central, but the successor to the Big Red Machine gets another chance today. Any combination of a Reds win or a Cardinals loss gives the Queen City its second division title in three years after fifteen years without one.
Young Mr. Fife takes his 2.49 ERA up against the likes of Votto and Phillips as well as two Old Friends today: Messrs. Paul and Navarro are in the lineup for the Reds. The game is on Big Fox TV.
Lineup:
Ellis, M, 2B
Ethier, A, RF
Kemp, M, CF
Gonzalez, A, 1B
Ramirez, H, SS
Cruz, L, 3B
Rivera, J, LF
Ellis, A, C
Fife, S, P
If you need something to divert you before the Dodgers game, it’s OSU at UCLA at the Rose Bowl this afternoon.
The pitchers are sticking it to the hitters now. Take that!
Good job, LM! Seems like old times . . . including the lack of Dodger bats, unfortunately.
Crazy game A’s vs Yankees. Both have scored 4 runs in the 13th inning. On to the 14th they go.
I know the Dodgers are running out of games, and that the Cards already won today. Despite this, I would be happy to take 2 out of 3 against the Reds and then take our chances making up games against non-90 win teams.
Matt Guerrier is not very good.
I guess we aren’t too hopeful for a 4 or 5 run explosion over the next few innings.
Same old, same old.
you mean our lack of run scoring
Yup. Good pitching, no support.
I’m trying, John, I’m trying!
maybe another detailed post at the end of the open thread on DT may do it (I’ve already ‘Favourited’ your site)
got to go will check the result later, Link, get out the fishing line to reel everyone else back in (to join us here)
Paco!
Back in action. Now the Dodgers need to get it going!
It needs a bucketload of cleanup and prettification, but it works. Click the “Discussion” button to control sorting by oldest or newest (this looks to be a newer or at least different version of Disqus than the one that was at Jon’s DT).
Same font and feel to this site, but – ooh new comments above the old ones – wild stuff.
Big run there for the Reds.
As much as I love Kershaw, if I’m the Dodgers I don’t think it is worth the risk in letting him into a game at this point in the season.
Thanks Link for setting this up. I still feel the great loss of Dodger Thoughts, but am glad to be part of this community. I agree with John – the pic gives a dignified feel to the page.
espn reports Kershaw may pitch Sunday
I’m here 🙂 like the picture by the way
