Let me begin by saying YES YES YES YES YES YES YES WE CAN!!!!!!! HUGE WIN!!! Real deal baby.
1) Any questions about Joe Torre's ability to handle a pitching staff/bullpen in the playoffs are just silly. Torre is omniscient, and he's a baseball God.
2) Russell Martin's knack for making the right pitch selection is grossly underrated. I'm thinking specifically about the Glaus, Pujols and Holliday at bats. He is a huge reason our pitching has had so much success this year. Kudos to Colleti for not trading him during the Halladay hoopla.
3) Troy Glaus' swing, which was once the prettiest of any right hander in the bigs, is not what it used to be. If they weren't playing the Dodgers this would make me sad.
4) I wonder if basketball players would spit as much as baseball players if they played outdoors.
5) Those Schwab commercials are not, and never were, cool.
6) Busch Light is the worst beer in the world.
7) Casey Blake and Raffy Furcal= keys to Dodger success. They're both going to see good pitches throughout the playoffs. If they're hitting like they did tonight, we're in great shape.
8) The Cardinals have more barbarosas (red beards) in their bullpen than any team I've ever seen.
9) Don Mattingly deserves a Managerial job. Here's to hoping he takes the reigns after Torre calls it quits--the Dodgers should hang on to him.
10) Orlando Hudson is a true professional and I love him.
10a) What is Molina kissing on his necklace?
10b) Maybe I'm not supposed to say anything good about the Cards, but Brendan Ryan's disgustache is the finest I've ever seen, and I have the upmost respect for him. That is what baseball players should look like.
i agree with all you say except your comment about donny baseball. while mattingly has a spectacular muff-tickler going on, our hitting was quite sporadic this year and i am not yet sold on his managerial abilities. perhaps, but i'd like a bit more out of him. as jonny said lsat night, however, he does have a nice tan.
ReplyDeleteas for raffy, what a stud. weaver deserves some props too and yes, russ calls the best game in baseball. even maddux said so.
look for russ to have a big game 2
I don't know man. He deserves a lot of credit for Kemp and Ethier becoming consistent studs and the team seems to listen/respond to him. If not him, Larry Bowa should be next in line.
