Last night, Kenley Jansen made his 2015 season debut. Struck out four batters in ONE inning. On 14 pitches. No big deal.

Cool article by Billy Bean about being invited to participate in the Dodgers old-timers game.

I had forgotten that Billy was once a Dodger.

I don't think I've ever seen an umpire do this.

If the playoffs started today, LA would Host the Nationals. Kershaw vs. Scherzer, that'd be quite a series.
For now, we'll just have to settle for working you chumps over this weekend.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

I think you mean Greinke vs. Scherzer.
Public service announcement: The above post was made by an ardent fan of the Anaheim franchise. Move along, nothing to see here.

As such, thanks for trading us Andrew Heaney.
Grienke was pretty nasty yesterday.

If it makes any of you feel better, I hate the Mets too.

Ugh. Our two aces -- two of the top three pitchers in baseball -- lose at home in the first round.

Kershaw and Greinke combined to pitch 27 1/3 innings and give up 9 ER. That's an ERA under 3 in the playoffs. The loss of this series isn't on them at all, it's on the offense that couldn't score.
Exactly.

They needed Koufax not his pretenders.
Even the great one usually needed more than two runs to win.

no they didn't. The 65-66 Dodgers were the most anemic offense in the history of World Series participants. (maybe a slight exaggeration but not much.) Their offense was a walk to Wills a stolen base or two and a sac fly.
That is what made Koufax and Drydale so great, imho. That is why Koufax was need this week. (Im biased of course)
The interesting thing in a Koufax-Kershaw comparison is that due to Koufax's injuries and slow start to his career (relatively speaking, of course), Kershaw has already had a better career than Koufax, and Kershaw is only 27. Of course, as you noted, Koufax pretty much single-handedly won the 1965 WS. He only pitched one game in the 1966 WS, and allowed 4 runs in 6 innings in a loss.
He lost 4-0 because Willlie Davis had three errors in centerfield in the sixth inning.
"It's not my wife; it's not my life. It's just a game."
And Koufax did pitch well in that game (only 1 ER), but I brought that game up more for the fact that Koufax's post-season impact was really limited to that incredible 1965 WS. A 27-year-old Kershaw has already had a better career than Koufax.
1963 too (although one game).
Koufax also won the 1963, 1965, and 1966 pennants singlehandedly (well Drysdale too). Woudl have won 62 but for his injured finger mid July.
P.s. where Koufax is concerned, it is my life for better or worse.
Until Kershaw wins the big one consistently, he can't compare. Hopefully his arm doesnt break down at 32 like Koufax's did.
I also think it's fair to say that Kershaw had just as much to do with the Dodgers' making the playoffs the last 3 years as Koufax did in '63, '65, and '66. Obviously Kershaw hasn't done anything close to what Koufax did in the '65 WS, but I'm not sure that's enough to make up for Kershaw's longer string of superior regular season performances.
I'm just saying the Dodgers' failures are not Kershaw's or Greinke's fault. They're headed for the Hall of Fame. I also think MLB offenses are much more prolific these days, FWIW.
All that said, Koufax's and Drysdale's greatness will never be eclipsed.

I am sure. If you think I am going to give you the last word on Koufax, you are sadly mistaken. I can outlast you.
80 years old today.

80? hard to believe. I wonder how good his curve ball is. Does it still break two feet?
