I believe given that Harpo started the thread yesterday, in which we lost, for the sake of the mojo, we need to go back on track and have someone else start another thread. Unfortunately, I'm out the door, right now, but if someone else could, that'd be great!
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness - the blog! For Dodger analysis, reviews, and hilarity.Well, but during our little mini-win streak, we had someone different starting every day, so maybe having someone start two in a row is what we need to get back on track. I dunno...
Personally, I think you guys are weird with all these superstitions about game threads and such.

Worked so far.

YOU think WE"RE weird?
edit: Yeah, well, we are.
"I know, everybody funny, now you funny too."Meanwhile, here in the 6th, I notice nobody is actually using the game thread to discuss the game. 6-4, Dodgers and they're threatening again with Furcal on 2nd, 1 out and A.God at the plate.
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!Ethier pops up. Two down. Marco Estrada leaves the game for the Nuts.
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!Manny flies out to end the inning. 5-1/2, 6-4 Blue.

We need a "tongue planted firmly in cheek" smiley.
Poor fella, he has no ideaToo bad nobody is in here talking about this game. Talk about Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!!
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!Bottom of the ninth, Dodgers leading 7-6, and Full-Pack is coming in to face the heart of the Nationals' lineup – Dunn, Zimmerman and Willingham.
Is anybody else nervous?

You bet.
I got anxious when Sherrill walked the hitter two before Dunn last inning, and really squirmed when that guy stole 2B and tried to come home on a single. Great play by Andre to get him.
But this and the last game with the Nats have been WAY too close.
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Broxton gets the hitter to ground out to him to end the game!
GAME OVER!!
DODGERS WIN!!
