Two Games

Man, was I beat last night, but that turned out to be a good thing as I've been waking up at 3:00 in the morning and been unable to get back to sleep. I feww ... wefweshed!

Day Game? What Day Game? Angels 7, A's 1

Completely, totally, and utterly missed this one. Colon, apparently, was on, and Zito wasn't. When Zito can command his curveball, he's brilliant, but when he can't, oops, and yesterday was an oops day. Of course, the whole team's sore, and Eric Chavez, who was out of the lineup yesterday, may need surgery in the offseason, which maybe contributed to their weak offense.

Pwn3d: Diamondbacks 3, Dodgers 2

Odalis "Calcium Man" Perez, on the fan support despite the lousy product on the field this year:
"It is hard," said Odalis Perez, who started and allowed one hit while striking out five in four scoreless innings. "Just to go outside and say goodbye to the fans, it's like breaking my heart because the support we got all season was amazing. It's like I want to cry."
But I'm sure he didn't, though maybe a few in the stands felt like doing so. Why Tracy felt obliged to let Broxton in there to give up the winning run, I'll never know, but as Charlie Steiner pointed out in the broadcast last night, this marks the first time in Los Angeles Dodgers history that one team has beaten them at home eight times over the course of a season. 1992 represented the team's nadir, but this season is going to end with one of the team's worst records ever.

Comments:
Matt, I do believe you just gave me a bit of inspiration.
 
Feel free to use "Buttercup" as source material - it expands on much of what Matt is talking about in '92.
 
Will do, although I'm on a bit of a deadline; somebody's asked me to put together a post-mortem on the Dodgers and this would be a great fit. The research will take a bit of time to assemble, though, but thanks for the great ideas everyone.
