Ok, guys. We've won two games in a row. If we win tonight, its called a winning streak. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.

Was waiting for this quote. Surprised it took someone so long.

Last time it happened (3 consecutive victories) was Sept. 28th, 29th and 30th against the Red Sox in meaningless action the final week.

Will be at work, so won't watch.. I don't like our chances this series.

I will be in attendance, cheering em on

I can't wait until Wednesday to see how Hawkeye performs in his first game back. I hope he dominates the Angels.

Prove me wrong, Edwin.

get the feeling that Edwin is pitching to keep his spot? Guess we have to see how Peavy looks first.

Dunn's last AB was one of his best this season and Santos taking over the closer's role is the first step in figuring out the bullpen are a couple of encouraging signs.

I'm still not used to seeing Los Angeles in a title and it not necessarily meaning the Dodgers

Season turnaround begins here.

I wish soneone would teach this team that when there is a runner on, the pitcher is going to keep the ball down to induce a double play. He may even throw it low and away. In either case rolling your hands over to hit a ground ball is not really ideal.

Perfect! We definitely seem to let the pitcher/scouting report work us over and show little plan at the plate to overcome the likely pitch selection.

I just don't get why we have to swing hard at every pitch. Maybe our park just creates horrible habits? Whatever happened to taking what the pitcher gives you? I thought Beckham was going to be a genius at that.

I don't think Adam Dunn has swung hard at a pitch in a month.

I think he did in the final AB vs. Liriano. He smoked it.

Don't let Kendrick beat you tonight...

No doubt we win this game.

Meh, Ozzie generally calls a steal or bunt which results in an out, either way. So pretty much - getting runners on base is meaningless except for home runs.

 

But even then - our manager likes to be sure...we must have all baserunners off the paths before... y'know...we hit one.

This is the game of Alexi/Alexei/Alex....must be a first in major league history, three players with a variation of Alex as their name.

 

And, we're off to our usual first three innings struggle scoring runs.

 

At least Dunn walked and his OPS is finally over 600 now.

 

 

I guess one positive is we've taken down Soria and League, who was 9/9 in save opportunities before Sunday (yes, I know it was the dreaded tie-game appearance for a closer, but Sergio made it through the same two innings League was attempting).

It's hard to find video highlights of Konerko's first inning homers here during the 2005 ALCS

Pretty soft Angels line-up compared to years past when they had Vladdy and a healthy Morales.

Really nice swing by AJP. Quentinpopsitup has taken over Credepopsitup

BECKHAM! Great announcing by Hawk.
