Series 2 @ San Francisco Giants: Sweeeeeeeeeep!
Ladies and Gentleman, as you may recall a few days ago, I predicted the Dodgers would sweep and they did just that.
Friday night's game was beautiful, with Brad Penny looking good; even better than last year. He seems to be more of a pitcher, rather than just the thrower he used to be in the past. He had some more finesse on his pitches. It was worrisome, just a little, that he seemed to give up quite a bit of hits, but he did well nonetheless.
Russell Martin is fast approaching the top echelons of current MLB catchers. He threw out two runners and made what turned out to be the game saving block of home plate that would have made Mike Scoscia proud had he not been too busy trying to deflate the possibile cheating situation he had with K-Rod.
That being said, props are due to Luis Gonzalez for his great throw from deep LF to start the throw out at home. Nomar Garciaparra, Matt Kemp and Gonzo each hit safely twice.
In Saturday's game, Derek Lowe bounced back from his bad outing on opening day and notched his first win of the season and Jeff Kent hit the go ahead RBI double in the fifth for the Dodgers.
And Sunday's game-- What a beauty!!!
Randy Wolf looked like he was about through in the first and second innings, but he adjusted and came back stronger than ever. The Dodgers beat the gnats for the eighth consecutive time, dating back to last season. All eight victories have been in SF. What made this game so great was the fact that we beat the $126M man. No, we embarassed him and the Giants organization for signing him.
Gonzalez became the most successful visiting home run hitter at Steroid Boy Central Park, hitting his sixth and seventh homers of his career on Sunday. Kemp had three hits with two RBIs and scored twice while Kent, amongst booing, jealous gnats fans, scored three runs.
It was great to be at all three games live, but more of that to come.
Recap:
Friday: Dodgers 2, Giants 1
Saturday: Dodgers 4, Giants 1
Sunday: Dodgers 10, Giants 4
We finish the road trip 4-2 and sit just a half game out of first place. Colorado is coming to town for our opening season at Blue Heaven on Earth.
Going up against their ace will be a challenge, but taking two of three should be pretty realistic.
