Well…that sucked. Big time. I know that the Dodgers haven’t won the World Series except once in the years since I started following the team, but that’s what you hope for your team at the beginning of every season. And, with the Dodgers this year, there was plenty of reason to hope. They won it … Continue reading NLCS Game 6

NLCS Game 5
That was obviously more like it. But I’ll admit it: like just about anyone else watching the game last night, seeing Freeman get that homer and the having Kelly (who’s been great all season) go down worried the fuck outta me. I just didn’t have the feeling that we could do it the way we … Continue reading NLCS Game 5
NLCS Game 4
Ok, so yesterday I told Jacob that you should never leave a baseball game before it was over. After all, “it ain’t over ‘til it’s over” was first said by a ballplayer, and Tuesday’s game proved the saying. And then last night happened. Both me and Jacob were ready to turn the TV off before … Continue reading NLCS Game 4
NLCS Game 3
That felt like the longest 4 hours and 14 minutes of my life. Especially the 3½ hours in the middle where the Dodgers were dead in the water and couldn’t get a run in to save their souls. There was that great Lux double play in the top of the 1st, then it got eerily … Continue reading NLCS Game 3
The Braves Walk Off. Twice.
What do the Dodgers think they’re doing – besides trying to lose the NLCS? Losing Saturday’s game was okay, I reckon. If you’re gonna lose a game in a series, the first one is the best one to lose, although that gives the other team the momentum coming into the second game, which then becomes … Continue reading The Braves Walk Off. Twice.
So We Won the Pennant
So they’ve made it to the World Series again. I high-fived a bunch of dudes last night at the bar and walking down Green after Kershaw got that last out, and watched the team celebrate with champagne and beer… I wonder if I’m the only person who got the feeling that their hearts weren’t completely … Continue reading So We Won the Pennant
Brewers 2, Dodgers 5
Sometimes I wonder whether anyone out there is reading my blog. Now I know the answer is yes. And I know who’s reading it, too: The Dodgers Maybe Brian Dozier likes to keep his eye on southerners’ baseball blogs and he found my post about Game 4 of the NLCS. Then he went around the … Continue reading Brewers 2, Dodgers 5
Brewers 1, Dodgers 2 (in 13!)
I wanted them to call last night’s Game 4 of the NLCS a stalemate so we could turn off the TV. Not a tie. A stalemate. Like in chess. The game finally did get exciting…in the bottom of the 13th inning. Don’t get me wrong: I’m glad as heck that the Dodgers won, but, dang, … Continue reading Brewers 1, Dodgers 2 (in 13!)
