I've Had Bowel Movements Prettier Than This Game
I know I said I wouldn't do a write up on this game, but what happened in the ninth inning just can't be left unsaid.
Picture this.
Andre Ethier doubled to right, and then moves to third on a wild pitch during Shea Hillenbrand's at bat. Hillie walks. Mark Sweeney hits a pinch-hit single that scores Andre Ethier. THE DODGERS SCORE ON A HIT WITH A RUNNER IN SCORING POSITION!!!! Dodger's are still losing 7-4.
Brad Lidge enters the game in relief and strikes out Rafael Furcal. One out.
Juan Pierre comes up to bat and pops a ball behind home plate in foul territory. Two outs right? Oh the play doesn't end there.
After a couple of seconds while first baseman Lance Berkman jumping up and down screaming to catcher Brad Ausmus to throw him the ball, douchebag Sweeney makes no attempt to go back to first. In fact he's still moving towards second base.
Ausmus throws to Berkman and doubles up the douche. Three outs. End of game. Even a complete idiot like Wilton Guerrero wouldn't have made that tee-ball mistake.
So how will the Dodgers lose tomorrow?

Yup I was there too. It started to look like a total rally but then POOF! Brain fart that cost the Dodgers the game. You should have heard the place go silent. Send him back to the minors!!

Oh I did hear the place go silent. As I was exiting the gates, this man in his 50s holding on to his scoring notebook was muttering, "One game over .500." I looked back and told him that this season has been a complete abortion. He looked back at be with a pained smile and said, "Yup."
Funny. Twelve hours after the fact my blood is still boiling.

Oh Mark Sweeney. I'd like to think 'ol Sweeney did for a love of the Giants. Don't forget where he played the last two years. This Giants fan is happy our ex pinch hitter left so many Dodger douches seeeething. Mr. Colletti, way to make the big move down the stretch by picking up... marksweeney. Well out of contention but enjoying LA's freefall.
