I posted earlier that my bold prediction for tonight’s game was that Jerry Sands would defy logic and statistics and hit a home run off of Tim Lincecum. Considering he was 0-for-3 with 2 strikeouts in his career against Lincecum it didn’t appear to be one of my best predictions.
Here’s a link to Sands HR it was a rocket. Kershaw has just exited after giving up a HR and 2 walks. Kenley Jansen is in to face Pablo Sandoval and he just struck him out on 3 straight pitches. Next up is Carlos Beltran and Jansen stuck him out on 4 pitches. I’d really like to see Jansen finish the game, he is clearly the Dodgers best reliever.

Even though I was born and raised in Utah I spent my summers with my Grandpa T.R.at Dodger Stadium listening to Vin Scully on my transistor radio. My personal Dodger highlight came in 1977 as an 8 year old when my dad and I drove all night to L.A. to attend game 3 of the World Series. 1981 was sweet revenge when Rick Monday's HR shocked the Expos and "Fernando Mania" was in full effect as the Dodgers finally beat the Yankees in the World Series. 1988 was purely magical as Orel Hershiser dominated on the mound while Mike Scioscia's HR saved the Dodgers vs the Mets and of course Kirk Gibson hit one of the most dramatic HR's in World Series history. My favorite Dodgers are Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Ron Cey, Mike Piazza, Eric Gagne` & Matt Kemp. I'm thrilled with the new ownership and how they have rebuilt the franchise the "Dodger Way." It's time to supplant that team up North as the kings of the NL West and get the World Series Trophy back to Chavez Ravine. Go Blue and don't ever forget the legendary words of Vin Scully "It's time for Dodger Baseball!"
