Re: Phils over LA
OK, I'm gonna piss off my fellow Dodgers fans, but I'm going to give it to you straight.
Jonathan Broxton is a loser.
It would have been very easy for the Dodgers to "give up" after the first inning 2-run debacle (yet AGAIN).....but they held together as a team, and my man James Loney started them on a rally that gave them their confidence back, eventually taking them to a 4-2 lead. And Randy Wolf pitched his heart out.
After giving up another run, George Sherrill stepped up to the moment and had the raw guts to throw a fastball high and tight to Ryan Hell-Raising Howard and got em! I was screaming with joy with a tear in my eye as I felt the magical moment of my beloved Dodgers rising to the occasion and taking a step towards maybe becoming World CHAMPIONS. Then, out comes Torre to bring in the one slob who cost the Dodgers last year, Broxton. He get's the last out, and we're set for the ninth.
To any of you who ever listened to me since last year.....I've been preaching the Dodger demise if it were going to be left in the hands of Jonathan Broxton.
So.....All we need is three outs. Some of his fastballs are hitting 101 miles per hour. WOW, impressive, right? I could feel something wrong in my bones.
He has no one on, just needs three outs, and he's facing Matt Stairs. He has a chance to man up and go after the bum, because after all, what's the worst that can happen?....Matt can't BEAT him in this situation?? Just tie the game, and that's it. So HERE is his chance to make amends for LAST year.....set it right......make a name for himself.
So, Big Bad Jon puts on his SKIRT.......and WALKS him on 4 STRAIGHT PITCHES. Can you say "JESUS CHRIST!"? Then, he continues to pull up his nylons, adjusts his high heels, and drills the next Phillie frump in the elbow!??? GREAT. Now not only the tying runner is on, he put the WINNING runner on. I start to get that painful ache inside. As A dodger fan, that's familiar.
So then, in true Dodger spirit, he teases us Dodger fans and gets two outs, leaving us all feeling like, "YEAH, we're gonna tie this up 2-2 in the series, and break all of the momentum of the Phillies.....This is OUR YEAR!!!"
Then?........it happens.
He finishes off the night, and the Dodger fans hopes, and the Dodgers season for that matter, by digressing back to last year and throwing his patented 99-mph batting practice game ending pitch. I still haven't got my voice back from last night, and I don't think I'll ever be able to get every small piece of broken glass out of the carpet where my tv used to sit.
I honestly couldn't sleep after that display of failure.......yet again......by a guy who doesn't have it.
I don't care HOW well Jonathan Broxton does during the year. Once the play-offs start, the "year" doesn't MATTER. It's all about having the killer instinct to finish the job.
Jonathan Broxton.......is a loser. Release him and get pitching in the off season, Dodgers. Next year will be your last chance with this young talented team. After that, Manny will be gone, and the "magic" and "gelling" of this special team will have been lost.
So help me GOD, if Joe Torre gives that LOSER the ball again with the series on the line.....we as Dodger fans better see some ANGER glistening out of those f&%king eyes of his, some signs of LIFE, and not that calm, timid, passive look he stares at Russell Martin with. I can't take another beating like last night. I can't do it. We need a CLOSER.....not a 300 lb. chick in a baseball uniform cross-dressing as a pitcher on a baseball team!!!
It's going to take me a LONG time to get over last night.Leave a comment:

Re: Phils over LA
I fell asleep thru the end of the game, woke up at 4 am and turned on MLBTV for the recap.
Was I shocked. People think LA has a chance when they continually blow opportunities. Last night it was the closer, Wed it will be who? Too late then. Sad to see Thome not get a chance at a ring, but the trade was one of the silliest I've ever seen...taking a HR hitter that is productive with 4 ABS a game and sitting him down.
Congrats to Philly. From what I've seen I do believe they have what it takes to beat NY (and yes, I do believe they will still take LAA).

Re: Phils over LA
Let's not forget the Phils went into Yankee Stadium and took 2 out of 3 from the Yankees.Now,while the Yankees didn't have A-Rod,the Phils didn't have Lee (who so far has been nothing short of awesome in the postseason)..
I like their chances.
