I Saw My Baby Gettin' Sloppy: Dodgers 8, Rockies 7 (13 Innings)
What an embarrassing grind of a game: three caught stealings for the Dodgers alone, but that didn't begin to show you the awfulness of this one. It was four hours and 38 minutes of ongoing mayhem and sloppy play in every dimension. Hiroki Kuroda picked Todd Helton off second in one of the most egregious baserunning blunders I've ever seen; Helton represented a very significant run, as the Rocks were then two back of the Dodgers, and since Colorado went on to tie the game in the ninth (off Saito's second blown save of the year — Broxton may get calls in the ninth earlier than we had hoped for), that could have been the winning run right there and spared us all four frames of additional agony. Ubaldo Jimenez gave up consecutive wild pitches in the third for a run. There's something deeply fitting that the game only had one error, Clint Barmes' misplay of Matt Kemp's grounder that allowed the latter to reach and eventually for the Dodgers to win the game.
Blech.
