PrintTHIS THREAD HAS GONE OVERFLOW
Right now the Dodgers are down 7-0 to the Pirates. Manager Joe Torre is demanding that the players do not celebrate until the Rockies are officially eliminated from NL West contention. Keep waiting, Joe!
Hiroki Kuroda allowed 7 runs, 2 earned, and knuckleballer Charlie Haeger is on to pitch.
Braves and Marlins after the jump.
Later tonight, (5:10PM MT) the Marlins will do their best to stave off a BravesTember for the sake of our collective stomachs, and you know, their own dignity. Jair Jurrjens will take the mound against Anibal Sanchez, which should prove to be a pretty epic battle. Tune in via Gameday or Gameday Audio, and let's all root on the Marlins!
Over the past 28 days, Jurrjens is 3-1(4GS) with a 1.55 ERA, amassing 18 strikeouts to 10 walks.
Over the same time frame, Sanchez is 1-2 (5GS) with a 2.51 ERA, and 27K to 13BB.
Since being acquired by the Braves at the deadline, LaRoche has posted a.352/.429/.615/1.044/.438 line (AVg/OBP/SLG/OPS/wOBA) with 12 home runs. Over the past 30days, LaRoche has batted.333/.398/.596/.961/.400, pelting 4 long balls.
In the same timeframe, Marlins 1B Jorge Cantu has swatted 3 dingers while hitting .336/.382/.522/.904/.384.
An exciting matchup with implications dancing all around the National League playoff picture.

Great
Now you’re tempting me to go to Taste of Philly for one of their cheeseteaks…
There's one near my workplace

They have a few other locations, according to their website:

Thanks to a LaRouche double
It looks like the Dodgers are offering end-of-season cheap runs. Hopefully they’ll still be doing it at the end of the week.

This!
…and plenty of it.
I know it’s possible that this weekends games might be meaningful to the Dodgers, but at this point I think that’s doubtful. I also don’t think that the level of Dodger intensity will determine the Rockies success (or lack thereof) this weekend.

LaRussa
My dad hates LaRussa, always has. It’s like he’s reading from a script every time he brings him up in conversation: “I hate Tony LaRussa, he thinks he invented baseball.” My dad also calls him ‘Abner’ after the guy who actually did (allegedly) invent baseball. It never fails to crack me up.
It’s not the least bit surprising LaRussa pulled this crap.

My dad, too
That’s funny, my dad, who is 88, Italian, been a baseball fan for 70 years and generally likes people—has always hated Tony LaRussa and has told me so a number of times.
After a memorable run-in with LaRussa back in the '90's...
Don Baylor first called him “Abner Doubleday,” I believe. Obviously a terrific manager, but I find him thoroughly dislikable. Still, if you haven’t read Buzz Bissinger’s profile of him (“Three Nights in August”), do so. An excellent read which offers a lot of insight into his methods (and madness).
And you’re right about Doubleday, who had as much to do with inventing baseball as you or I.
But TLR only had a glass or two of wine at dinner...
or so he said.

One better
As far as the Dodgers go, they won’t win. In fact, they won’t survive the division series. I’ll go you one better: Put me down as the Dodgers going three-and-out in the first round. That’s my bold prediction. Nearly every year, one September favorite forgets to show up in October. This year, it will be the Dodgers.

Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
This logic
lead Mitch Williams on MLB network to conclude the Yankees will not make the WS because they were first to clinch. I know wild cards have fare well, but…
Patrick Saunders: I think Kruk is lazy.
But there is some logic to it, in how their bullpen has been severely overworked
As demonstrated by Torre pitching James MacDonald in an already 8-0 ballgame.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
And it's showing up in recent results
And given their starting rotation breakdowns recently…and ManRam’s recent slump (dude seriously needs more feminine hormone replacement), they’re not set up well for next week.
Wolf, Ethier, Kemp…they have some dangerous players, but Wolf can’t pitch the first 27 innings of the series.
Now I’m not suggesting a sweep, but I am having a hard time seeing how they win a first round at all this year.

Ethier
is pretty hot and cold. Does not hit lefty’s well at all, and has been struggling a bit lately (for him anyway). I’m much less scared of them than I was in May.
I hope the Rockies are much less afraid
than they were in May …

That's okay, at least one ESPN writer is predicting a Dodgers sweep in the NLDS
That is…the Dodgers being swept in three game. No matter whether they play Philly or St. Louis.

Didn't we sweep them back to back
in ’07 during that playoff push?
Yes we did.
My last regular season game in ‘07 was the last Dodgers game at Coors. It was an afternoon affair, and I remember asking the left fielder if they could stay and play an extra night-cap, because I wasn’t tired of beating them like a drum yet!

Great Article
Interesting to hear how the Dodgers reacted to that amazing Barmes play yesterday.
Regarding their celebration
Did the Dodgers buy a bunch of Champagne locally, that they have to ship to California now, or will they just return it and get some more in California?
Funny you should mention that...

I bet they were a little panicked trying to clear that out
before the team came back in.
I wonder if Torres would even let them celebrate in the oddball chance that the Rockies win out and they lose out, giving them the Wildcard…
I think it must be a league rule, wouldn't you think..
but maybe its just a club thing…interesting question to be sure.

If they did, it would be pretty awkward
I wonder if they have a stash of “wild card champion” shirts stashed somewhere, just in case….
Also, I wonder if the Rockies would celebrate the wild card if they knock Atlanta out, but still have a shot at the division?
Why not celebrate both?

There's a running gag
about all the “losing” shirts (ie, Rockies 2007 World Series Champs, Yankees 2004 AL Champs, etc) are all donated to impoverished nations.
Hence, there’s a village in Sudan that’s convinced that the Buffalo Bills were the greatest dynasty of the 1990s

If you want to pick nits and look at more than just OPS against. His K/BB is up at home, and he has a .370 BAIBP at home vs. .290 on the road. That OPS against is inflated by 5 additional homeruns and 5 additional triples. BR doesn’t have the batted ball data that fangraphs does – i’d be interested to see how his HR/FB ratio is at Coors compared to the road.

I dunno if there's a conspiracy or not...
…but the Rox did piss off the umpiring crew on the Spilly Slam, and they’re a pretty tight knit lot.
At least it sounds more reasonable than a Cards conspiracy to hold down the Braves.
Besides, the Rox are 6-1 versus the Cards this year…seems to me the Cards would want to do all they could not to have to face us in the playoffs.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
we just swept the Cardinals in St. Louis
and to be honest, we made them look pretty bad. The Cards did beat us 2/3 in Atlanta earlier in the year, but we were a bad, bad baseball team back then.

Dear Rockies - Do not make me live in a world where John Kruk is right....
Troy Tulowitzki - THE best SS in the game..nuff said

Thanks for the tip.
I still have a lot to learn about the internets!
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
Look out Dodgers...Purple objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
I'll be the guy in a orange shirt EVERY Monday...Broncos are my team win or lose.
Don't you mean the interwebz?

Nats will not be helping the Rox
Had a man on third with no outs with score tied…stranded. We need to help ourselves I’m afraid.
Patrick Saunders: I think Kruk is lazy.
The Rockies struggled with the same situation
over and over yesterday
Long story
but I grew up a Braves fan (by family association) living in Alaska, and started rooting for the Rockies when I moved to Denver in 2001. I actually discovered SBN through talking chop. Used to post over there a little bit, but kind of got tired of the juvenile attitudes of some of the posters; still read over there pretty regularly though. Nonetheless – GO ROCKIES.
Did the FanPost include the line...
“READ and LEARN”?

No
Wisely (for a blog with infuriating fanposts) they have a 24 hour colling off period…

I recommend reading some MCC to chill out

See MCC has never bothered me as much
They crack me up.

Another perspective...
from a post at TBLA on today’s loss:
“All I know is all bets are off if we get to Friday without an answer. At that point Colorado will have ALL of the momentum.”
Does anyone here think Colorado is riding a momentum wave?

I've given this some more thought...
even though we have only have a 1-game winning streak (and it’s bee a while since we had a long winning streak); if we win the next 3, we would legimately have some momentum going into the weekend.
So, nevermind…
