Game 12: Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants 3:1

Tell you what - the edge of my seat is officially almost threadbare after last night's contest. Great great ballgame. Eight largest crowd ever in Dodger Stadium history (is that correct? Did I hear it right?) and thrilling winning ending to the game against our arch-rivals. Feels so good :)

Only a couple of minor points for discussion:

(1) Two gems in a row, after Odalis Perez followed Brad Penny's performance with a 7.0 inning, 3 hit, 1 ER performance. I hope these two outings will motivate Jae Seo tonight to help us take the rubber game of the series.

(2) Is Takeshi Saito quickly becoming Grady Little's setup man for Dannys Baez? I certainly seemed so both in actions (see last two games) and in words. Little said after the game that while he (Little) was far from calling Saito an official setup man, he was going to give the Japanese reliever every chance to become one. So far Saito has done the job.

(3) Kenny Lofton's leg is fine by my standards, thank you very much. It's unbelievable how this guy has been keeping himself in shape over the years. He could not have started his Dodger career any better than an RBI triple and game-ending putout in center field.

(4) Tonight is Jae Seo vs 26-year old RHP Brad Hennessey. I hope it's a breakout game for Raffy Furcal, I'd settle for 3-for-4, HR and 2 RBI from him this afternoon :)
