Really, REALLY need a good start from Kershaw here, not just because of Peavy but also to save the bullpen after last night.
Hate seeing Pierre in there for the second time in three days, but Ethier hasn't had a night off all season, so I get it. Besides, not that anyone has success against Peavy, Ethier's probably not too upset to be missing him - career 5 singles in 36 plate appearances.

This is the second time that Torre has morphed into Tony LaRussa.

I just think it's hilarious he only does it when Pierre is in the lineup.
Also, say what you want about Torre (I know I take my liberties when appropriate), but as far as knowing when to sit his regulars, he seems to be doing a fine job this season. IIRC, when Manny, Kemp, Loney and Raffy all got their days off, it was either against a solid ace from the same side, or someone who the hitter was awful against in his career. Same is true with Ethier tonight.

BRING BACK BEIMEL!!!!!!Harpo:This is the second time that Torre has morphed into Tony LaRussa.

When Manny/Kemp/Ethier gets that rare night off I agree with Pierre batting 9th.
BRING BACK BEIMEL!!!!!!Those baseball card images on the 87 Topps are awesome!
BRING BACK BEIMEL!!!!!!Evening, Gents.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...I like that, Flipper Arm grounds out. Wouldn't mind if he went 0-fer for the series.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Ya gonna toss a curve, today, Clayton? Giles skies to Manny.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...That was a decent inning. Clayton didn't throw a ton of pitches and the Putrids didn't score.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Damned kid, plugged up his toilet nicely. Next time I use dynamite and lock him in the room. Missed the commercial, again.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Gonzalez gives in and hits a weak fly to Manny.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Vin Scully is really short. For what its worth.
BRING BACK BEIMEL!!!!!!Lot of slider speed bats on the Putrids.

I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Capitalism prevails.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Geez, Blue, you wanna try to call it right?
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Blanco with a hit. Nice numbers, two singles and three homers is the total of Blanco's offense. I guess it that wouldn't be so bad, but he has 26 at bats.

Three more homers than Martin has...
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness - the blog! For Dodger analysis, reviews, and hilarity.Sunshine gets out of the inning with Burke grounding into the force. Let's get some runs, Blue!

True. But, I don't think Russell will be stuck at the Mendoza Line, while I gotta think that Blanco would consider that a good season.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...C'mon, Blue, call it the same for both pitchers!
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Loney gets one off of the end of his bat. One out.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Bison, gotta work on that chasing of bad sliders. Two outs.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Turtle lines out to Burke. Well hit ball, maybe Turtle is ready to join the rest of the team's offense.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Goat F'er takes a nasty change for strike three.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Nicely done, Thirsty. Two outs and Flipper Arm is still 0-fer.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Giles the Juicer grounds to O-Dog. Middle of three still zeroes.
