At this point, I'm almost past thinking that.

Every time he steps out here he just mows dudes down. Not that he'll never blow a save, but I've gained so much more confidence in him. Maybe it wasthe WBC.

Back in 05, Bills and Broxton combined for a no-hitter in the playoffs. From following that gameon milb.com to watching them both have some rough spots in the majors, it's great watching all this success.

My boy Ox

doggies puttin in work, I'm lovin it

Broxton proving he's gonna hold it down this season

Kuo getting the W for that performance

 

[Los Angeles]

Guys, Broxton's performance was a nail biter.

He had command issues, he had around 22 pitches which 12 of them were only strikes, he had a wild pitch which put a runner in scoring position and you can tellthat 5 outs he had in Houston really affected in.

I'd expect him to sit out a couple games, but that's where our bullpen gets shaky - who gets the nod to close out games? Torre is playing musicalchairs out there with relievers, it's apparent that Joe has lost a TON of confidence in Kuo, although Bellisario has closer type stuff - I dont thinkanyone of us trusts him out there with a 1 run lead.

Who else? Cory Wade is till on the DL, Mota still has command issues .... I'm thinking Ohman would probably get the nod, iunno

Joe Torre really needs to implement Loretta / Ausmus / Castro and them in the lineup, it's only gonna benefit us in the end.

We're up 1.5 games on the Padres, gotta keep distancing ourselves

Guys, vote for our Dodgers being all stars: Manny, Kemp, Ethier, Hudson, Bills and Broxton!!!!

I know dude has the stuff to dominate out there.. there's no doubt about it. I just wanted to see how he would hold up mentally on the road, with a runneron base/no outs, after his defense committed an error. He struggled a bit with command but managed to pull it off in the end. Hopefully that builds hisconfidence/mentality for future and he's able to completely trust his stuff no matter the situation.

, we can't vote for Bills, but his performance speaks for itself. If he keeps it up, I could see him getting the starting nod, with the AL going to Zach Greinke. If the All Star game were to take place tomorrow, it would beGreinke/Santana IMO. Broxton will get in as well. If Brian Wilson and made it last season, Brox is a shoe in.

BN, I have to say the name you dubbed Mientkiewicz, bugs me. Tony Jackson dubbed him "MKZ", hell, call him "Mintkayvitch". "Mien" sounds like somebodies gay french cat.

. Justputting it out there.

I didn't watch most of the game last night, just followed it on my phone and reading the recap when I got home. RISP on the road is

. Matt Kemp had a couple of big opportunities and failed to come through. Eventhough he is being more patient at the plate, he is getting the Russell Martin syndrom: "Trying to kill the ball everytime up". I thought theDodgers were going to pull away with the bases loaded and no outs, with Kemp at the plate. The next update I get is, LAD 3 COL 3, with the Rockies batting.

Had me looking at my phone:

 

[Los Angeles]

right after I typed that, I voted and realized we couldn't vote for Bills or Brox

as for mien it seemed easier to typed for me, it reminded me of ordering something off a Chinese menu to tell you the truth

I thought the Dodgers were going to pull away with the bases loaded and no outs, with Kemp at the plate. The next update I get is, LAD 3 COL 3, with the Rockies batting.

perfect execution.

 

[cincoseisdos]

it looks like we'll get SOME sort of rain during this game...

 

[cincoseisdos]

Those boys puttin' in some work EARLYYYYY

 

[pdouly33]

Great 2-out hitting to start the game...

 

[Los Angeles]

SMH the game is on!?!

 

[cincoseisdos]

KEMPPPPPPPPPPPP

yessir, BN you missed the dodgers go through the whole lineup

 

[p mac one]

Kemp's defense this year is very nice.

 

[oanonymous1o]

I thought the game was going to start at 6, our time,

.

Missed the Dodgers in the first inning, watching the Raiders fumble the draft was fun though

 

[cincoseisdos]

DA REYDASSSSSS

my boys are PISSED

Manny is SWINGING out there

 

[uclamike]

%*%# what i miss?


like iron was to busy laughing at the raiders and forgot about the game

 

[cincoseisdos]

What you missed: The boys went through the lineup in the first, and Manny is still trying to throw his hip out with his violent swings in Denver

 

[Los Angeles]

dodgers usually dissapear after they add on some runs, gotta capitalize on the oppertunities and give jmac some more wiggle room.

we all know how quick a lead can dissapear
