Game 8 Thread: April 8 @ Diamondbacks, 6.40p

Chad Billingsley (0-0) vs. Doug Davis (0-1).

COMMENTS: No chance of rain for Billingsley tonight at Chase Field, meaning he'll finally get his first real start of the season against the Snakes. The mlb.com game preview talks a great deal about how Joe Beimel has made appearances in five of the Dodgers' seven games, but the bigger story has to be the team's offensive woes (Matt Kemp, Russell Martin, and Andruw Jones are all batting sub-Mendoza, and fan fave Juan Pierre is sub-.100). Is tonight the night we finally break out the bats? Well, Matt Kemp finally gets the start (batting second), but Russell Martin takes a seat (Gary Bennett bats seventh).

It is going to be a long night.

5-0 Bills sucking it up tonight. To top it all off, I have to listen to the Dbacks announcers yelling - they are worse than Rex Hudler.

Get your rally hats on - or rally monkey! Kemp with a triple!!!!

Alex Cora said...

5-2 Kent with our only offense!

Alex Cora said...

Ok, well, that didn't last long. Jones looks clueless out there.

Alex Cora said...

Ok they just blew the game wide open 9-2 in the 7th, I can't bear to watch this anymore.

What a stinker! Glad I missed this one.

Orel and I leave you in charge, AC, and look what happens--the Dodgers lose their only series of the year. Great.

Yeah, I didn't know what to do - I even had a rally monkey reference thinking this was sons of mike scioscia.
