Recap: Ozzie Guillen called This a Must-Win. Oops.
The first inning was disastrous. But as many times as I've said this is a turning point for Scott Kazmir, this game was a turning point for Scott Kazmir. He only went 5.2 innings, but it looks like after the 2nd, he finally learned you can't pump fastballs 80% of the time, but you CAN pump fastballs 70% of the time. Mixing in his change and slider(Finally), and he actually seemed to have better control.
Grant Balfour laughs at your silly Chicago White Sox.
J.P. Howell is amazing.
Chad Bradford is good at groundballs.
Akinori Iwamura will get my hitters post, no need to dwell on him here.
B.J. Upton just reminds you why he's so good constantly. Not many people can turn that ball into a triple easy. B.J is one. Carl got a few hits, and Navi got a kep bloop. Rocco had a few solid line drives, and one finally got in the outfield.

agree
Is it too much to ask to have announcers who actually know something about the team they’re covering?

He just said getting into jams as a starter helps him as a reliever. Thats awesome.

Are we gonna get 4 sweeps?
That would have to be a first.
by joeybw on Oct 3, 2008 9:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
unless Angels and/or Cubs make a very unexpected come back
We will have the best record of the teams in the playoffs
Just thought that was cool.

The Dodgers are the only NL team right now that draws my attention for more than a tenth of a second.
No way the Dodgers should match up well against the Rays, but they have some serious momentum right now and we’ve all seen in playoff games that sometimes, just being hot is good enough.
