Kershaw v. Francis on Prime Ticket @ 7:10pm PDT.
I’m still nervous about Kershaw’s continuing to pitch with a diagnosed hip impingement. All we can do is hope that the Dodgers’ medical staff, coaches and front office know what they’re doing when they sign off on allowing him to do so.
Francis had a wonderful year in 2007, helping the Rockies to their only World Series appearance as he went 17 – 9. Since then he’s played for the Rockies, the Royals, and back to the Rockies, and he’s been essentially mediocre. This year he’s 5 – 6 with a 5.54 ERA.
Lineup:
Ellis, M, 2B
Cruz, L, 3B
Kemp, M, CF
Gonzalez, A, 1B
Ramirez, H, SS
Ethier, A, RF
Victorino, S, LF
Ellis, A, C
Kershaw, C, P
My attention may be diverted a little this evening, as the U of Hawai’i plays Brigham Young University in Provo beginning at 2:00PM HST. The Dodgers game starts at 4:10PM HST, so I can see a full half of football before I have to worry about Kershaw.
Late news: The Dodgers have sent Stefan Jarrin, Jaime’s grandson, to the Phillies as the PTBNL in the Victorino deal. Young Jarrin hit .209 with three homers and nine RBIs in 26 games for the rookie-level Arizona Dodgers.
Kershaw for Cy Young.

Farewell KT
Mini tear continues…Here’s to another big offensive game tomorrow..not sure if I’ll make it
Let’s keep it going! Great game.
Great win; you never know miracles do happen
Great game. Full moon. Hits. Runs. Kkkk’s. And now, fireworks!
In response to an earlier question, the Dodgers scored 57 runs in their first 21 games this month for an average of 2.71 runs per game. Of course in the last three games, including tonight’s, we have scored 8, 8 and 8….for an average of 8.0!
Just saw vision of Abreu’s homer, he certainly connected!
Nice hit Bobby
Who are these guys?
Ex-Phils lead Dodgers.
Kid K could end the year as the best in the NL in K’s, ERA, WHIP and pWAR. Never get the CY, however, cuz he set the bar to high for himself last year.
A he just had a defensive gem ^_^
Did I hear someone say GG?
Yes…Yes I did, indirectly that is
Now would you stop complaining about him? 😉
He is dealing tonight! Best I’ve seen him all year.
Bishop Amat Lancers 24 Culver City 0..love this prep zone live on foxsportswest.com
clayton was safe and the Mark was robbed of an sac rbi because of the call
Wait. I was willing to cut the regular NFL refs some slack, but not the baseball umps!
Way to get on AJ Come on Clayton help yourself
Nice Shane Come on AJ
Way to get on Dre Come on Shane
Have we scored more runs the last 3 games than we did all the previous games in September combined? seems like it
Way to get on Mark Come on Luis
What is this 4-run lead thing? Can this team suddenly have realized how good its offense should be?
To me, that would make a redeeming end to this frustrating season, regardless of if there’s a postseason for the Dodgers or not.
I agree
Hopefully like in 2010, when Bison hit a dinger in the last five games of the season. Boy, was that ever a preview of things to come.
View of things to come…wait until Carl is better
I forgot about CC! And if Billz and Lilly can pick up where they left off . . . ’13 could be a VERY lucky year for the Blue!
SHANE!!!!
Nice Dre!! Come on Shane
Good eye Hanley
Come on Dre
Nice hit Gonzo Come on Hanley
Losing Jaime’s grandson for Victorino is adding insult to injury (even if he can’t hit)
you pissed him off Bob…He heard you so he went yard
Yeah, but if he really cared what I thought, he would have refused to report to the Dodgers when he was traded.
^_^
Come on Luis
Cincinnati’s Homer Bailey just pitched a no-hitter against the Pirates, winning 1-0.
Doubt if we will gain on St. Louis tonight. It is 9-1 Cards over Nationals after 4 innings.
all we can do is keep winning
like the lineup
notice 2 SS
I’m going to the game tonight, and may not be able to post, as last night I couldn’t post comments with my phone. But I will be with y’all in spirit. Go Dodgers!
Old friend Edwin Jackson pitching for Washington tonight against Adam Wainwright for the Cardinals in St. Louis. Yovani Gallardo pitching for Milwaukee at home against Edgar Gonzalez of Houston.
Pitching poorly, that is.
And getting worse.
Whaddya know? Donnie has moved Cruz to the No. 2 hole. Finally. And he’s dropped Ethier and Victorino down in the order. I like both those moves. But why bench the hot-hitting Punto?
yea but he has Hanley and Cruz playing SS so there will be a big hole on the left side ^_^
