WASHINGTON -- Putting guys on base was easy for the Los Angeles Dodgers, especially early in the game. Air Force 1 Australia Cheap . Getting them home, that was the problem.So after leaving `em loaded three times and missing a chance to take a commanding lead over Washington in the NL Division Series, the Dodgers headed home tied at 1-all after a 5-2 loss Sunday.Overall, LA went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position -- 0 for 5 with the bases loaded -- and stranded 12. That gave the Dodgers an empty feeling going back to Chavez Ravine for Game 3 on Monday afternoon.Whether its a combination of their guys making good pitches or us just not getting the job done, that changes the whole game, said right fielder Josh Reddick, whose RBI single was that one hit with runners in scoring position. For the guys, Im sure theyre beating themselves up.Washington starter Tanner Roark looked very beatable, as LA got seven hits off him, including rookie shortstop Corey Seagers first-inning home run that was his second in as many games.The Dodgers left the bases loaded in the second inning and again in the third. The frustrating trend was made worse when backup Nationals catcher Jose Lobaton hit a three-run homer off Rich Hill in the fourth for a 3-2 lead.Hill tried to say the loss falls solely on him, but there was no one in the visiting clubhouse who agreed with that sentiment.Hill did have a chance at the plate. He struck out with three runners on in the second and then Chase Utley grounded out.Yasmani Grandal grounded into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded in the third. In the fifth, again with the bases loaded, Grandal struck out and pinch hitter Howie Kendrick lined out to left.Manager Dave Roberts said his team stressed Roark, who lasted only 4 1/3 innings, but the Dodgers then didnt get a hit off the Nationals bullpen until there was one out in the ninth.We had the bases loaded, so we had some opportunities, just didnt capitalize, Roberts said.Added Seager: You did what you were looking for in getting the starter out early. Unfortunately we missed that big hit against the bullpen.Stranding 11 runners against Roark had the Dodgers wondering what could have been. But splitting the first two games of a series on the road gave them something of a silver lining, especially after the rain-postponed Game 2 made the wait for Game 3 at Dodger Stadium even shorter.If youve got to win two out of three, you want to have most of those games at home, and we do, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez said.HILL HANGS CURVEHill hung his head after the loss, regretting a hanging curveball he left up to Lobaton on the homer and two inside pitches that hit Nationals shortstop Danny Espinosa. The 36-year-old lefty had seven strikeouts but came out after 4 1/3 innings and was hard on himself for not executing pitches how he wanted.I believe were tied in the series now because I didnt execute, Hill said. For me its extremely disappointing.SEAGER MAKES HISTORYWith his second home run of the series, Seager tied Jim Gilliam for the most home runs in a postseason for a Dodgers rookie and joined Pee Wee Reese as the only Dodgers shortstops with multiple postseason home runs. On Friday, he went deep off Washington ace Max Scherzer.Asked to explain his success early in games, Seager said: I dont know. Luck, whatever it is.MURPHY MAKES DIFFERENCENationals 2B Daniel Murphy went 3 for 3 with 2 RBI, a walk and a run scored, drawing M-V-P chants from the sellout crowd of 43,826. Murphy tormented LA for the second straight October after helping the New York Mets advance past the Dodgers a year ago.Ever since last year he just seems to be the guy that comes up in the clutch, Reddick said. It shows what he can do this year, and playoff-wise its something special.UP NEXTIn Game 3, the Dodgers will have RHP Kenta Maeda (16-11, 3.48 ERA) on the mound against Nationals LHP Gio Gonzalez (11-11, 4.57. The Nationals are hoping Gonzalez can take advantage of the Dodgers worst-in-the-majors batting average against left-handed pitchers. Maeda led LA pitchers in wins, innings (175 2/3), strikeouts (179) and starts (32).---AP Sports Writer Howard Fendrich contributed to this report. Balenciaga Speed Trainer Australia . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J. Asics Gel Sale Australia . Artturi Lehkonen, Joni Nikko and Ville Leskinen had the other goals for Finland (1-0) while Juuse Saros stopped 28 shots.

Thats about all he can do right now, so hes trying not to think about when he might be able to play again for the Los Angeles Lakers. For those about to rock. Fire! We salute you. -- AC/DCSo whom do college football coaches rock and roll to? ESPN has the answers. I asked all 128 FBS coaches for their favorite musical artist. The answers ranged from A to Z -- AC/DC to Led Zeppelin: 80 bands in all.Arkansas Bret Bielema chose The Temptations. When he coached at Wisconsin, he said he would frequently go see them in concert -- front-row seats -- and decided he wanted the band to play at his wedding.There was one small problem. By the time Bielema decided to get married nearly 10 years later at the age of 42, there was only one original member still alive, and he wanted $150,000 to perform at Bret and Jens wedding. Bielema said no thanks.The majority of coaches preferred country artists. Kenny Chesney and George Strait tied the Eagles as the coaches most popular choice. NC States Dave Doeren summed it up best: There are only two kinds of music, he said. Country and western. Doerens pick was Merle Haggard.Like the College Football Playoff, Alabamas Nick Saban had four finalists competing for his favorite artist. He said his iPod has 122 songs from only four artists: Michael Jackson, Elton John, The Rolling Stones and the Eagles.Sabans musical champion? The Eagles.In fact, in 1994, when Saban was the Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator, he went to the Eagles Hell Freezes Over Tour in old Cleveland Stadium with then-Browns coach Bill Belichick. Thats right: Saban and Belichick, livin it up at the Hotel California.Kansas States Bill Snyder, college footballs elder statesman, coaches in the Little Apple of Manhattan, Kansas, so perhaps it was fitting he chose Ol Blue Eyes Frank Sinatra, best known for singing about the Big Apple. Snyder actually told me his second choice wwas Foreigner. Nike Air Force 1 07 Australia. I have their CD in my car, the 77-year-old Snyder said before the season.The coaches choices were as unique as their schools uniforms: from Van Halen (Iowa States Matt Campbell) to Van Morrison (New Mexicos Bob Davie). From Daft Punk (Oregons Mark Helfrich) to Prince (West Virginias Dana Holgorsen and Oklahoma States Mike Gundy). From old school -- George Clinton was the funkadelic choice of Illinois Lovie Smith -- to young (Neil Young, the favorite of Washington States Mike Leach.)There were a contingent of hard rockers: Pitts Pat Narduzzi, San Diego States Rocky Long and Old Dominions Bobby Wilder picked AC/DC, and UCLAs Jim Mora, UTEPs Sean Kugler and Georgia State interim coach Tim Lappano chose Led Zeppelin. Some opted for easy-listening: Boston Colleges Steve Addazio, Akrons Terry Bowden and UL Monroes Matt Viator opted for James Taylor, and East Carolinas Scottie Montgomery prefers Sade.The Talking Heads (Wake Forests Dave Clawson) and Meat Loaf (Southern Miss Jay Hopson) made the list, but the top two selling musical artists of all time, the Beatles and Elvis, did not receive any votes.Back on Sept. 17, when Michigan State met Notre Dame, little did Mark Dantonio and Brian Kelly know they had something in common: Theyre both big fans of The Boss. After all, you know college coaches these days: Baby we were born to run ... the spread offense.Top vote-getters: Kenny Chesney, Eagles, George Strait (five votes); Garth Brooks?(four votes); AC/DC, Toby Keith, Dave Matthews Band, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, The Temptations, Led Zeppelin?(three votes).?By conference: ' ' '
