Y'all see what happened to the Dodgers game Saturday?

[Oeditpus Rex]

Yoshi Yamamoto needed one out for a no-hitter in Baltimore, then gave up an above-the-line homer to Jackson Holliday. That was enough for Dave Roberts, who'd left Yoshi in past 100 pitches to give him a shot at the no-hitter with a 3-0 lead.

Doc brought in the "closer," Blake Treinen, who gave up a double, hit a guy, threw a wild pitch and walked two in a row to make it 3-2 with runners on second and third. Tanner Scott came in and gave up a gork single to short center that scored both runs for one of the worst walk-offs I've ever seen.

I can only just now talk about it.

Oh -- San Diego beat the Rocks that night, of course, cutting the Dodgers' lead to one game with 20 left.

1. I would have loved to see that game fourty years ago before commercials screwed the flow of the game up.

2. It was indeed a tough loss. Such is the capricious nature of September baseball.

4. You want to win 162 out of 162?

5. Nope -- just 11 in the postseason

We're (the Dodgers 79-64 right now and in first place in the NL West by one gane over San Diego. We were up by two games until Treinen blew Saturday's game to hell and back, when all he had to do was get one out with nobody on base.

A two-game lead is better than a one-game lead, especially with 19 games left in the regular season. We don't play San Diego anymore this year, so we have to count on them losing to other clubs to win the division.

But, you somehow think this is about wanting to win every game.

6. That one game wasn't any more important than the others. nt

7. You can't pronounce rhat until the end of the egular season

If we end up losing the division by one game, everybody's gonna look back on that game that was all but under the 'W.'

It's like Hershiser said awhile back: Everybody wins 60 and everybody loses 60. It's what you do with those other 40 that really matters. And a big part of that is winning the ones you're supposed to win.

8. Enjoy your team's games. Nt
