I'll start by saying yes. I was on the Dodgers for 2 units. Regardless I can take a loss when they happen and move on. But this game was really strange...(conspiracy alert!)
Turns out what Kemp yelled when he was thrown out in the 2nd inning was "Let's go Dre!" while Ethier was at the plate. Kemp was instantly ejected. When Mattingly came out to argue the absurd ejection, he was also thrown out. Now look at the calls Bernett was getting on the outside corners; the exact same spots Blanton was NOT getting. 2 completely different strike zones.
On Dodgers radio they were talking about past instances with home plate ump Angel Campos. They noted several games where he had blatant blown calls favoring one side.
I am not one for conspiracy theories. In fact the thought of this past my mind and I just said "nahh" and moved on. But when I got in my car and drove home from work, they were talking about exactly that. Anyone else see this?
BTW - I just googled Angel Campos and this is one of the old posts I found... http://www.fannation.com/blogs/post/203762
