Moot point I think not.  He preserved the bullpen for a day and got the win.   Giving the bullpen a day off is huge.

Lawson Oakland is my team also but how can you bet with or against these guys.  Only thing I would bet on an Oakland game is the under.  Hard to bet on a team that can not score, but if they push across 2 they have good shot at winning

It will be tough for San Diego and Oakland to get great hitters unless they bring them up through the farm system.  As for getting free agents who in the heck with a stick wants to go to Oakland and hit in that park.  It is the same with San Diego. 

Worried it will take Boston 3 games to score 7

I am sure te Boston fans would be thrilled with a hit

No, how do you fall for the wheel pick in the big leagues

How many pieces of gum is Francona going put in his mouth.  Just pull Dice K out of the game.  I think he was putting all the gum in his mouth because he knew he had to walk to the mound and it kept him from saying, "how did you get that K at the end of DICE,"

"He is putting it on a tee."   Now I know where this came from.  I do not think you could throw that many balls over the heart of the plate if you tried.  You gotta give dice k props he is putting it the same spot everytime.

Sarah this makes me want to grab a bat watching this

I do not see how you can live in that state though where they give you a tickets for five miles over the speed limit.  I went there one time with my friend and we were going down a steep grade and he got pulled over.  My friend said he was sorry he was going downhill and did not realize he was speeding.  Maybe it was the California plates he did not like but I never will forget what he said.

"Son here in Oregon it is the same speed limit downhill as it is uphill."  

Then about two years ago my brother moved to Oregon and I told him whatever you do drive the speed limit they will nail you quick there for being a few miles over the limit.  The first week he was there he got two speeding tickets

Ya those 6.5 games are always tough but Dodgers bats are struggling and Kershaw has flat out owned the Giants.  Just hope for a clean game and no stupid errors or bullpen collapses

Sarah you know the SI jinx of being on the front cover!!!  Well I think you suffered that same thing here. 

But now you are back and the jinx is gone
