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 v. UCLA at the Rose Bowl this afternoon.
Any chance on the Disqus comment system making its way over here?
Yeah, when I get the new blog set up, hopefully this weekend. I don’t want to mix my politics and life blog with a Dodgers one; it would annoy both sets of readers to have to skip the stuff they’re not interested in.
Thought I would enter into the fray of commenting as we continue to adjust to the now fallow Dodger Thoughts. I do like the name Elysian Fields as a name for a new Dodger blog.
Come on Ellis! He’s been looking tired lately.
Fife! “Nothing to it.”
And it looks like the Cards are going to squeak a win out over the Cubs in extra innings.
Drat.
Bother, Cardinals win in ten
Fife is looking good so far, now for some run support
At least today the Brewers lost and Philly look like they will as well
On another matter, I hope both the Baltimore and Oakland hold on to make the playoffs. I like it when teams make it who have not been there for a while. It makes it more interesting
I’m definitely rooting for Baltimore and for DC (I used to live in Northern Va., for one thing, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the Orioles).
ouch
I’m pleased for the Nationals as well for the same reason
Okay, I’ve got a rudimentary (very rudimentary!) site set up for the new blog, with Disqus comments enable. It has no links, the wrong colors, and it needs a lot of cosmetics, but it’s functional.
You can see it (and comment there if you like) at https://linkmeister.com/dodgers/
Do these guys really get paid?
To Linkmeister: Thanks very much for getting this going.
Is this the new place??
Just like Outback. No rules, just right
