The Dodgers continued their recent hot streak Wednesday, shellacking the Florida Marlins 13-1. The win pushed the Dodgers’ consecutive-days-with-out-losing-a-World-Series-game-streak to an impressive 7,032. “We’re just really hot right now,” first baseman James Loney should’ve said following his 3 RBI night. “To have not lost a World Series game since Game Three of the 1988 Series is amazing. I was four years old at the time but I distinctly remember [Mark] McGwire taking Jay Howell deep. Then I ate fish-sticks and watched GI Joe on TV.”
Despite the 13 runs, the Dodgers again got no production from Andruw Jones who went 0-3 with a pair of walks, dropping his already anemic batting average to a lowly .159, closer to my weight than his (129 vs. 248). As someone who really thought this was going to work out for Ned Colletti and the Dodgers all I can say is “eeshh.”
