Dodgers at Giants, Top of the Ninth posted on 04/29/2009

Dodgers up, ready to lose, facing Wilson.

Fred Lewis makes a half-hearted attempt to make a great play. Either go all out or don't. He only gave about 75% and decided last second that he could actually make the catch on that line drive to left. He dives, misses and it gets by him. Pinch hitter Mark Loretta gets a double from a single.

Now Lewis is playing too far in and the next ball is a foot over his glove. Another double and a run scores. Rowand came over and gave Fred an earful. Fred didn't seem to take it well. Get 7 seasons under your belt, THEN you can question your centerfielder, not before.

Broken bat groundball gets out number one. A hard grounder straight to Uribe gets out number two. Fans are on their feet. Manny hits a chopper to short and it's over. A faster runner might have made it. Rowand runs off the field with a huge smile slapping five all the way to the dugout. Fred Lewis has a different look on his face. That rookie may need a pick me up before next game.

Dodgers at Giants, Bottom of the Eighth posted on 04/29/2009

Giants up, facing Scott Elbert who gets one strike out and is pulled for Guillermo Mota.

Edgar Renteria smacks the first pitch toward the hole at short, but it was too slow and Furcal picked it up too deep. Not even close. Uribe hits one to dead center that I was sure would be no problem for Pierre. But he couldn't get there. I wonder if the wind didn't knock that one down. Two on, one out.

Bengie is ready to make this one a joke but I think he's too tired to get a hit here, to be honest. He looked tired after his homer and that was about an hour ago now. No he is not! Base hit line drive to dead center. Renteria makes it home without a play. Uribe makes it all the way to third. Still only one out.

Rowand just got knocked in the head! No, nevemind. I thought it nailed him, but no. It missed by a hair but bounced off the glove of Ausmus rather. Bengie moves over to second. NOW they hit him. Square on the back. Boo's galore. Mota is a batter late. Bengie's the one with four RBI's today, genius. Rowand is only 1 for 4 with a run.

Dodgers up, facing Timmy!

Two pitches and two hits. It may be time to yank 'im. Bullpen only just wakes up after three more pitches.

That change up hadn't been touched all game. He was fooling Furcal with it too until that last one. The bat broke into 4 different pieces but the ball fell soflty inside of the left field line for a double as it spun into the giants bullpen area. One run scores. 

Manny faces off against Tim. The majors' best hitter and pitcher. Runners on second and third with no out. Walks him.

Lincecum still gets to walk off to a standing ovation. Let's hope he doesn't end up with 4 runs on his record for this game. He deserves better.

Jeremy Affeldt steps in and immediately induces a 5-3 double play. Uribe, at third, caught the ball on top of thirdbase and guns it two first. One run scores but two are gone. A worthwhile trade. Lincecum is on his feet, loving it.

Dodgers at Giants, Bottom of the Seventh posted on 04/29/2009

Giants up, facing Scott Elbert.

Molina uppercuts the first pitch he sees sky high and that baby is GONE! Triple and a homer for Bengie. I'd say that's a good day for him, eh? That's his 17th RBI this season. Not too shabby.

Two straight two outs hits on the ground up the middle. Those are good looking hits. Let's get one more. Well... Timmy struck out, but, I think I can forgive him for it.
