Okay, that title is probably harsh. Still, when you’ve been eliminated from the playoffs the night before, I imagine it’s a little tough to get up for one more game before the season ends. Nonetheless, it’s here to be played so it must be done.
Kershaw’s trying for his 14th win, for the NL strikeout lead, and he’s trying to keep his NL ERA lead as well.
Lineup:
Ellis, M, 2B
Ethier, A, RF
Kemp, M, CF
Gonzalez, A, 1B
Ramirez, H, SS
Victorino, S, LF
Cruz, L, 3B
Federowicz, T, C
Kershaw, C, P
I find it interesting that FedEx is playing rather than AJ Ellis. I wonder what that’s all about.
The game is on Prime Ticket at 1:15PM HST, so I get to see it.
and that … is that
Rivera too?!?
where was all this yesterday when we really needed it ?!?
Neither Juan nor Alex were playing. That’s obviously what was wrong. 😉
Castellanos? Really?
alex!!
I hope he pitches the 9th, but I think he is done
Adrian!
Enjoyed listening to Stan Kasten on the radio side.
nice hit Dre
C’mon, Kid, help yourself! At least not no-hit!
Kershaw!!!!!!!
It’s a bit tragic when Kershaw is our most accompished looking hitter
THAT’s why we needed him to start!
love the comment from Vin “the Giants are off the next 2 days, the Dodgers are off the next few months”
Poor Matt is ending with a whimper, not a bang. So is the offense.
not pretty to watch
that could have been a lot worse
I love thinking about you watching this in Sydney, John from Aus!
It’s a buzz, both in the visual and audio experience
This might be a very quick game
Kershaw looks locked in today
nice, nice curveball to get Posey
I am so, so excited today (Why you may think, after yesterday).
I am at my parents place in Sydney and they have a game of the day on their digital channel. I saw on their program that it was a Dodger game (I thought it must have been a replay of yesterday).
I turned on the TV and heard for the first time “It’s time for Dodger Baseball” It sent chills up my spine. (Just saw Lasorda hug Mattingly in the dugout)
and I’ll get to hear Vin for a whole game !!!
That’s blind luck for you. Congrats, John!
How great would it be to see the Yankees have to play the Rangers in the Wild Card game?
Half of that matchup is going to be true: The As beat the Rangers to win the AL West this afternoon. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2012_10_03_texmlb_oakmlb_1&mode=recap_home&c_id=oak
