Chris Christie calls Dodgers’ infielder Chase Utley a ‘dog’

The Dodgers play at New York tonight in Game 4, which starts at 5 Pacific time and will be televised on TBS.

“The greatest retaliation is winning the game”, veteran outfielder Michael Cuddyer said.

Complicating matters is that Matz, who made an instructional league start Thursday after being scratched from a Mets start because of back pain, hasn’t been in a major-league game since September 24.

Clayton Kershaw will try to end a five-game postseason losing streak, starting on three days’ rest as the Dodgers try to avoid elimination against the Mets in Game 4. “Believe me, this is no slap at Alex Wood”.

“I’m a little surprised”, Mets manager Terry Collins said. You’ll need a cable log-in and password, or the log-in and password of someone you know, to access the stream.

Harvy, on the other hand, finished the season with a 2.71 ERA to go along with a 13-8 record. Umpires did not issue any warnings prior to the first pitch.

Utley took out Tejada to win a game for a team that couldn’t afford to lose.

The Mets’ hitters, held mostly in check in L.A., busted out against lefty Brett Anderson in the bottom of the inning. D’Arnaud hit a two-run homer in the third. Yasmani Grandal capped it off with a bases clearing single. “And he said, ‘I totally understand'”. “Just embarrassing on my part”. The slugger tossed his bat high in the air before beginning his trot around the bases.

Fans that opened their night with chants of “Utley sucks” were soon able to replace them with taunts of “We want Utley”, a dare to Dodgers manager Don Mattingly to turn to Utley for help against a stunning barrage of Mets’ offense. “It reminded me a lot of Shea Stadium when it got loud and insane. Just bigger stage”, Reynolds added.

Cespedes and d’Arnaud each finished with three runs, three RBIs and three of New York’s 13 hits.

Conley recalled a slide into second base by the Cardinals’ Matt Holliday against Giants shortstop Marco Scutaro during the 2012 National League Championship Series. It also resulted in his first career playoff victory, and now the Mets are one win away from putting Chase Utley in their rearview mirror and advancing into the NLCS. Utley was not in the lineup for Monday night’s Game 3 at Citi Field.

Kendrick, the regular starter, remained at second base, and Mattingly said Utley was on the bench not for safety but exclusively “baseball reasons”.

“To lose a guy like that, it hurts”, Wright was saying before the game, before an unblinking Utley stared down the pre-game cameras that lingered on his face while he was booed, before Harvey would make his own playoff debut, before a brief but freakish delay to start the game would be blamed on a balky phone in the Dodger dugout.

Reynolds made 12 errors in 466 chances this year for a. 974 fielding percentage.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio gave his view earlier Monday, pronouncing Utley “guilty as sin”.

Meanwhile, Tejada raised his fist to a rousing ovation when he was introduced in full uniform alongside teammates. The odds are still in the Mets’ favor, but they should be resting up today. “We’re going to pick him up, and we’re excited to be back at home”. “We’re all feeling for Ruben”. Harvey threw an extra five minutes of warm up pitches while the phone was fixed. Dodgers INF Chase Utley has been hit by a pitch 179 times, most among active players.

In the middle of the first inning came an announcement that the line was fully operational. After Kendrick fumbled Wilmer Flores’ soft grounder, an infield hit, Anderson got the next two out. Kershaw has lost five straight postseason starts.

NEW YORK (AP) – Matt Reynolds was home in Oklahoma just a few weeks ago, his minor league season complete. The young man didn’t take the bait, saying something about it being a new day and a new game.
