Except for the 9th inning Tuesday, it was an awful series.
AF has got some work to do..
But does he realize that? Heyward, Lux, Enrique are all hanging on as are several of our relievers. Biggio should be the first to be cut. All our injuries are catching up with us.
I would not be unhappy if they got rid of all the aforementioned and Biggio. Bring up the kids/prospects. Can't be any worse.
I would join you in your lack of unhappiness.
Disappointing, to say the least.
Rule One Violation.
Another awful game. We are dreadful this series.
No more suspense tonight.
No longer within reach. Unless one has a longggggggg arm.
PFFFFT!!
I've seen enough of the Lux show.
I was willing to cut him some slack, but that's tightened to the breaking point.
Freddie and Shohei, 6 SO in 7 AB.
Bad night for Shohei.
He’s been looking a little lost the last few games.
Big pool day w kids and grandkids. I’m glad it’s at least within reach. Why are we even pitching to Walker???
Vesia got him out on a weak grounder.
Vesia got away with one there.
But he stopped Walker.
Rox have beaten Keggers, who are dangerously close to taking second seed spot from Dodgers. Three-gamer with them starts tomorrow.
Another pathetic umpire.
So they finally wake up and walk Walker.
Now Freddie and Shohei need to wake up.
Atta-Boy Barnsy..
Barnes gets it done!
Rotation has been spinning their wheels lately and not getting any traction
Well, we will get the last laugh. D'Backs will be sitting at home in October and we will be in the playoffs..
Snakes will beat out Gnats, but Fryers will be tougher.
I still root for Joc.
Only against other teams, and gnot when he was with the Gnats.
Did he hijack the Gnats' BALCO Flaxseed Oil shipment?
You have got to be kidding me. Good Grief.
Today, Xmas, and New Year's are my most despised holidays.
Are the others just merely despised.
Or loathed.
Semana Santa is awful in Latin America, because it prevents me from getting work done for most of four days. That said, I admire Uruguay's approach – https://southernconeguidebo…
Walker? Walk him!
Two out and nobody on, sure.
Very bad swing by Freddie.
Fans the side, but…
Well crap.
That was a meatball, Knacker, now bear down and get Walker.

Before expansion and interleague play, Memorial Day, July 4 and Labor Day used to be when virtually every team played a doubleheader. One ticket got you into both games. No day-night affairs. On their first Fourth of July as the Los Angeles Dodgers, in 1958, there were 15 doubleheaders. The only two teams who didn't play a doubleheader, in fact didn't play at all, were the Dodgers and the Cardinals, who had played a twinbill the day before in L.A. Why no doubleheader in L.A. on July 4th that year? Because the L.A. Memorial Coliseum was staging its annual Fourth of July fireworks show.

It's time to abolish interleague play.
Good stuff Scoop. I remember scheduled twi-night double headers well. Usually on a Friday night. I went to a number of Dodgers-Reds double headers at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati. Saw the Garvey, Lopes, Russell, and Cey Dodgers play the Big Red Machine. If I recall correctly it cost $3.5O.
Today in Dodgers History
July 4th
1884 In American Association action, Louisville right-hander Guy Hecker pitches complete games to win both ends of a doubleheader. The Youngsville, Pennsylvania native does not walk a single batter when he beats the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers at Eclipse Park, 5-4 and 8-2.
1998 The National Baseball Facility of Ireland, considered the primary home of the Irish National baseball team, officially opens in Corkagh Demesne Park in Clondalkin, West Dublin, when US Ambassador Jean Kennedy throws out the ceremonial first pitch. Dodger owner Peter O'Malley played an instrumental role in constructing the diamonds now known as the Fields of Dreams, which includes a regulation-sized adult field and an international standard Little League field.
2006 Nomar Garciaparra ties the major league record for being hit by a pitch in a game as he is plunked three times by three different Diamondback pitchers in a 10-4 Dodger victory. The LA first baseman is the first National Leaguer to equal the mark, literally and figuratively, since April of the 2000 season when Astros outfielder Richard Hidalgo thwacked thrice in a game.

Striking out a lot.
Remind me who the Fryers are.
Padres.
Thanks. I would have understood Friars.
