What Fresh Hell is This?

OK, the world is crumbling now...I was never a Jason Giambi fan once he abandoned Oakland for New York, but I do still fondly remember his few seasons way back when, slugging away at the Coliseum. How sad is this? I remember early season reports were quite positive; he was redeeming himself, helping out the younger players...a few cracks about the fact that he wasn't the best role model for them, but still. And now, poof! What a way to end a semi-brilliant career.

Braves Again

Well, if that wasn't a heartbreaking loss, I guess I don't know what that could be. Especially after last night, when Andre got the walk-off three-run homer (his 5th walk-off this season, no less)! Tonight...ahhh, many innings, many pitchers, much sorrow. Another three-run homer to end the game, but wrong team got it. Ahhh, tomorrow is another day!

Surprising to hear the fireworks afterall - 11:30 plus by the time this game ended, no fans left, or not many! Kind of a sorry end to a hopeful, ultimately disappointing evening.

My Baseball Game with Andre

Well, I'm not sure yet what to say about tonight's game, but last night was just gorgeous. Andre Ethier is simply MONEY. Not to mention - per an extensive fan poll - THE "most attractive Dodger." On the edge of my seat right now, hoping that something happens tonight that somewhat resembles what Andre did last night... these tied-up, extra-inning games are excruciating!

Every Road Trip Eventually Leads Home

Well, I can't say it was a stellar road trip - there was actually a lot of suffering going on at my end - but tonight's game was fairly redeeming for the Dodgers, with young blood coming through once again. Matt Kemp scored five of the eight runs in the rubber match in Atlanta (to win the series), and Loney wasn't shabby either. Continuing to disappoint (sore hand?) is Manny Ramirez, but I never put a single egg in that basket, so I'll just be waiting for my next Ethier or Kemp three-run-homer, thank you very much.
