Overflow: We Do It Again Vs. Dodgers

PrintSo, Russ asked me/someone to open a FanPost for the extra once the main thread hit 400, and since we're at 440, it's time to move over. Hopefully that will give us some new mojo, as we are clearly showing every sign of being in for it again. Russ has to get up in 2 hours, and since I am exhausted but don't know what's best for me, here I am doing it again. Bring your charming personages to these new premises.
Eat. Drink. Be Merry. But the above FanPost does not necessarily reflect the attitudes, opinions, or views of Purple Row's staff (unless, of course, it's written by the staff [and even then, it still might not]).

If nothing else,
these agonizingly slow West Coast games force the a—holes at the Eastern Sports Programming Network to stay up WAAAY past their bedtimes.

Hell, we did this around...
I don’t even remember when last time, and it didn’t end for another 2 hours…
Just make it stop.
It seems like it was longer than that...
Like, 4 hours.
Nice job by the bullpen tonight keeping us in the game
Wells, Newman, Speier, Corpas, Herges, Buchholz combine for 1 run in 9 innings in relief so far
Hope I didn’t jinx anything
So just kinda curious
Why the new thread when we hit 400? I know there has to be some reason for it or else we would not be doing it.
It slows down
SB Nation, or at least the platform. Or something. Ask Russ, he’s the one that wanted it.
Just make it stop.
It can cause problems with the blog's infrastructure.

Ok thanks.
Thats a bit strange but whatever. Gotta love the new technology that is more of a pain in the ass then the advantage that it is suppose to be.
Good evening Purple Row
I haven’t been able to comment on a live game thread since Thursday the 17th.
Sh*t.
Insert clever and witty remark slash pun here!
come on Rocks score more runs, I don't want another 22 inning game

We're in it
for the long haul. Now, let’s win it this inning, I’ve got church in 8 hours.
I've been in this game a hundred years, but I see new ways to lose I never knew existed before. - Casey Stengel
and off the bench?
Ianetta, and out of the bullpen would be??
We're fresh out of un-used players

That is the third comebacker Nix has hit tonight.
He is 0-for-his-last-19. WHY is he our starting second baseman?
Just becasue he is out of options
and we cant send him back down, why does that mean we have to play him??
To hell with it
throw him to the fishes. (kidding. I think)

Barmes would have been
the emergency pitcher in the 22-inning affair had it, God forbid gone longer. Maybe he’ll be the guy tonight and Bucky can play second.
Wow
I barely got back from the bathroom, and that was over. I guess I can go to the 14th, but that’s it.
Good to see your sticking in there
Hang tough my Rockies friend!
I think it is time for a Mark Ellis trade
How much better would you feel to have Kaz Matsui in the lineup instead of Nix? All for the want of a few million bucks.
I really really hate
late-starting, extra-inning, extra-high-late-inning-fail games. REALLY.
Just make it stop.
Yeah, but people who live in Honolulu LOVE them.
It’s only, like, 9:15 in the evening there.

Well, this is good.
Leadoff man on the Dodgers. Error on Barmes.
Where’s good ol’ Nix when you need him?
Nix is at 2nd

Thats what happens when you take out the
should-have-been-gold-glove-winner, with the guy that he replaced.
shyt. Runners on corners 0 outs

I feel it too.
No way that they get a guy to third and DONT get him in like we just did last inning.
1 out 2 on 3rd & 2nd

That's as good as a groundout.
The runner at second doesn’t matter.
WOOHOO!
Bases loaded! One out! Russell Martin hitting! My bed awaits!
Game: Dodgers win

DODGERS WIN! DODGERS WIN! WOOHOO!
Good night, everybody.

least it didn't go 22 innings

Somehow
I liked the ending to the 22-inning game better. Naturally I stayed up to see that.
Just make it stop.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
And so
we see the importance of defense. We are likely headed to the 14th without that error. Thanks greatly, Clint. Plus the first-pitch DPs. Woot.
Just make it stop.
We cant be having these
1 win out of every 6 games thing keep happening. we gotta get this turned around and play some COMPLETE BASEBALL!!!
Well
I made it through the 10th before the wife made me come home. Got home just in time to see the loss. Some thoughts:
1. Dodger stadium still sucks
2. Jimenez is not ready. What an awful performance. You just can’t rely on a guy that is, at all times, ready to explode.
3. We had so many chances to win and didn’t come through it was ridiculous. Tulo in particular, Holliday, everyone. Hard to hit with both hands wrapped around your throat.
4. This team is incredibly mediocre. Our record is not an illusion. It reflects the quality of the team.
Something needs to change. This team reminds me of the Rockies circa 1999. Average pitching, pretty good offense, nothing special. .500 baseball.
Yeah that sounds about right.
But this time last year we were saying the same thing if not worse. We still have plenty of time to turn it around. Looks like we are going to have to be one of the best second have teams in baseball again this year. I was hoping for a little more comfort room than that this time around though.
Agreed.
But last year was a once in a lifetime thing. We lose even one of those miracle games, and last year was just a “hope for the future” kind of thing. I don’t want to rely on another unprecedented finish. I want to rely on a team that I think is legitimately good. And I simply can’t say that after the first month of this season. And the fact that we run Redman out against Penny tomorrow doesn’t help matters. We will lose.
we're still tied with the Dodgers for 2nd place though, I think?
Both ours & Dodgers records are 10 & 13

No.
The Rockies and the Dodgers are tied for THIRD place.
The….. San Francisco Giants are ahead of you in the standings.
I’m very disappointed in you.
