Eric Stults (2-0, 0.60) vs. Roy Oswalt (6-8, 4.77).
COMMENTS: The Dodgers ride into Houston following a rare series win this month, facing a team with a nearly identical record (Dodgers are 38-43; Astros are 39-43) and armed with the team's only active arm with a complete game in 2008 (let alone only starter with a winning record). The difference is that the Dodgers are only 2.5 games back of the .500, division-leading Diamondbacks, while the Astros are 10 games behind the Cubs (and in fourth place in the Central). 'Ssuming the 'Stros 'ssent to the Dodgers' 'scent, 'sserting ourselves shouldn't be too much of an 'ssignment, I'm 'ssured. (Sorry for all the apostrophes, but these are your 'stros, maestro.)

'Sstuls with the extra letter should be good for at least one extra K today right?
He should be sssmokin'!
Lets hope he can 'sswing a big 'sstick too. He may need to help himself out tonight.
Hey y'all. I know I'm late to this discussion about Gameday, but...WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE CEL-SHADED BATTERS?
Guys, you're driving me crazy with the apostrophes, 'ss there any online dictionary i can look up to understand?
'Ssorry, Karina!
Stults is pitching a one-hitter. Unfortunately, that one hit is a home run.
Charley and Steve are interviewing Chad Billingsley during the game. Weird.
On the first inning, Ethier doubled and there were 2 HBP in a row and they only scored one run, due to a King James' sac fly.
Lyons asked Bills to grade his own first-half performance. Chad wisely dodged the question.
A gift run. We'll take it.
MLB leaders, GIDP
1 Derrek Lee, CHC, 19
2 James Loney, LAD, 18 (including in the top of the fourth inning tonight)
3 Lyle Overbay, TOR, 15
Sadly, with his GIDP tonight, James Loney is in contention to pull even at the top of the charts.
Kings generally are known to reclaim their thrones, just ssaying.
Repko charged the ball and it bounced off his knee. Ran to get it and almost nailed Berkman at third.
Maza looked very venezuelan with that catch on the 3rd. Understanding venezuelan as in Aparicio, Concepcion, Vizquel, even Manny Trillo.
Getting some arm improvement on that position (not like it's a very big achievement). How did he look at the plate?
The ol' load-em-up-and-hope-for-a-DP shtick backfires. 2-1 Astros.
I was talking about Repko. I wonder how the crew at True Blue took the news.
C-mon Stults, get him!
The law of averages is catching up to Stults. 4-1 Astros, and they're still batting.
I haven't seen Repko at the plate yet, Karina.
Oswalt struck out. Let's see if the middle of the order can put themselves on the game again.
Ugh, bad inning for the Stultser. 4-1, and we needed Oswalt for the third out (a K).
DeWitt doubles! Let's get something going here.
DeWitt with DeDouble!
Let's go, Blue!
Mazzza singles! 1st & 3rd w/no outs!
Stults struck out. This is your chance, Mr. Repko.
Orel, it's scary how similar our Dewitt comments are
How did Maza get a single "deflecting it" off of Tejada?
Third K for Repko. So I'd say: Repko does not look comfortable at the plate.
Probably means Tejada dived and didn't get it.
Hello.
Repko Ks on three pitches.
That's right, we're going to have first and third with no out, and we won't be able to score them.
That "hello" was not a sarcastic "duh" type comment, FYI. Just a general hello to the group.
Hey erin! You had me at "hello"!
Okay good. You got it.
And Andre flies out to fulfill the prophecy.
Meager minds, Sax.
Maza's hit looked like a clean single. Tejada may have dived and tipped it.
Ethier flies out. So much for taking advantage.
We suck, I'm getting in the car to drive home.
Happy belated birthday, Erin!
Thank you Orel.
Erin, happy 23rd birthday indeed
We've been facing way too many good pitchers lately.
Consecutive one-out hits by Kent and Loney. Let's see how the Dodgers squander this opportunity.
Young K's.
Oswalt is making our batters look like they're blindfolded.
DeWitt K's.
Injury knocks Oswalt out (right after he made the third out in the sixth, no less). Can the Dodgers awaken from slumber?
More importantly, can Rick Monday awaken from slumber?
Nooooooooo sweeeeney
Rick monday is hilarious. He said "a sweeney home run would make it a one-run game.". Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Oh yeah, Sweeney flies out.
Welcome back, Repkkkko.
Hi again. Talking to the brother. I see i haven't missed much.
Did he give you a hard time about the Dodgers?
Waah-wah-wah-waaah....
Nope. I was clever enough not to mention baseball. He'll read about it tomorrow ( and he lives in the other side of the world, so his jokes are belated)
I want to say positive things about the bullpen, but i don't want to jinx them.
I don't like how Tejada is handling Wade. He's seeing too many pitches and i don't have a good feeling about that.
Tejada doubled. I knew it.
Ssuming you all threw the towel in tonight's game, night...
Sorry, night....
Yay, another binary game for the Dodgers!
