Current and Former Dodgers Mouth off on Twitter

With all of the hoopla that naturally comes from a come-from-behind victory during the playoffs, it's only natural that Dodgers brethren, both current and old, would express their joy for all to hear.  Thankfully, twitter provides an avenue for us to hear their screams.  Below is a collection of some of the best yells.

From Alex "the best at-bat in Dodger history" Cora:


I was thinking the same thing.  It would have been hilarious if the Dodgers pulled out a little plastic kiddie pool to play in.


Luis Cruz will always be a Dodger to me.


Thanks, Blake!


Now we hear from some current Boys in Blue.


WooHoo!  Thank you Mr. Cy Young.


Is this the cutest couple in Baseball?


I wish I could get a piggy-back ride!


You were fantastic tonight, Carl!




And Punto's wife had a wild time yesterday.


AJ Ellis cracks me up!




Unfortunately, Steve Garvey had his own automotive issues last night.

Blog Kiosk: 10/8/2013 - Dodgers Links - Kasten, Scully and a Dodgers Celebration


Victory!  8 more wins to go!  Pic above above Clayton Kershaw via @Dodgers twitter.  Check out more pics from last night from Jon SooHoo, here.  How great would it have been if the Dodgers brought out a mini plastic swimming pool to bask in last night?
MLB.com: And now you are president of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Kasten: It all seems so unbelievable. … Once I saw the possibility of the situation with the Dodgers, I decided I was not going to get involved in anything else until I saw the [purchase effort] through. People would ask me, 'Why?' Simple. It was my dream gig. It's the Dodgers. I mean, the Dodgers. To me that explained it all. I was reading an article one day and it said, 'Dodgers President Stan Kasten.' I told my wife, read this. She started to read it and asked, 'How much do I have to read?' I told her, 'Just the first four words.'
From now until October 13 you can get various celebrities to record your outgoing voicemail message for $299 and all the money goes to the Autism Speaks charity.
"You don't ever want to come out of a game. You don't ever want to not pitch," said Kershaw. "Ultimately it's not my decision, but I'm never going to say I'm not ready. That's just not what you do."
  • Don't worry.  Matt Kemp didn't do anything last night to hurt his ankle.  gif below via Dodgers on tumblr.

The Only Highlight that Matters

After flubbing a sacrifice bunt, he gets the swing away sign... and swing away he did.  Uribe!!!

Of course, let's not forget Carl Crawford's incredible evening.  Watch his 1st and 2nd homers, here and here.

Kershaw is Starting Tonight


This is a bit of a surprise.  Clayton Kershaw will start tonight's Game 4 over Ricky Nolasco, per a @Dodgers tweet.


In one sense you gotta like the message this sends to Atlanta.  You've got to beat our best if you want to take the series back home.  On the other hand, as Tony Jackson noted, Kershaw has never pitched on three days rest in his career.  So, there is a bit of an unknown here.

Although this is not the best scenario, I can't really fault Mattingly for wanting to try to finish off the Braves tonight. 

This also appears to be a clear sign of "no confidence" in Ricky Nolasco - and who can blame them.  Nolasco pitched horribly his last two starts of the season; giving up 17 hits and 12 earned runs in 10.2 innings of work.

Blog Kiosk: 10/7/2013 - Dodgers Links -


The Dodgers crushed the Braves last night, but it sure wasn't easy.  Ryu wasn't sharp.  Fortunately, the Dodger bats came alive.  Pic above via Dodgers on tumblr.
"There was absolutely no injury whatsoever," Ryu said. "There was anxiety and I was a little bit nervous taking the mound. 
“You know, I want to play every day,” Ramirez said. “But at the same time, I knew he was doing the best for me to be ready for the playoffs. He played this game, and he knows what he is doing. That is great when you have a manager like that. That makes you keep doing your best every day, every inning, every out, every pitch.”
"My favorite part of the game is when [Ryu] runs over and covers first base and Juan Uribe will go to the mound to give him a little breather to kind of rest," AJ Ellis said. "[You] see them out there talking with each other. I mean, what can these two be possibly talking about, because they don't know any languages between them? I always wonder what they're talking about."
