Clayton Kershaw (0-2, 4.42) vs. Ubaldo Jimenez (5-9, 4.20)
COMMENTS: Quick - without looking it up, answer the following question:
Why do I ask? Well, The Da Vinci Code opened in the US and in many countries worldwide on May 19, 2006. That same night, the Dodgers put up 16 runs the crosstown rival Angels, the last time they would do so until last night. Anna Nicole Smith's son died on September 15, 2006, three days before the Dodgers edged the Padres 11-10 - the last time they allowed 10+ runs but still won the game
The point being, yesterdays offensive outburst was a once-every- two-years-or-so rarity. So based on that astute observation, I wouldn't expect anything more than, say, 14 runs tonight.
P.S. If today also seems like a landmark day, well it is. This is SoSG's first ever combination Game Thread/Poll!
P.S.S. It also marks Kershaw's return to the rotation. Let's hope he can make the 14 runs stand up!

Let's go Snorlax! 1 for 5 still raises your average!
If Snorlax goes on a 5 game hitting streak where he bats 4 for 4 each game, he'll raise his average up to .251!
Of course, there's probably a better chance of winning the lottery than seeing that happen.
I should buy some lottery tickets on the way home then.
Mega Millions jackpot for tonight is $125,000,000. Close to what we've paid players on the disabled list this year.
Nice.
Good lineup tonight
That first win for Kershaw. It isn't going to happen tonight. 5-0 Rockies in the 4th.
The role of "Dominating Pitcher" tonight will be played by Ubaldo Jiminez. 6-0 Rockies.
9-0 Rockies. 3-1 D'backs in the 6th.
We'll get 'em tomorrow, boys.
Tiny consolation: meaningless solo homer by Kemp in the 9th. Final: Rockies 10, Dodgers 1. D'backs lead 3-1 in the 7th.
Well, I picked a fine day to stop sniffing glue. Sorry to have missed the game, boys and girls--was in the air.
Tomorrow we'll get the series win.
Quad7, love the Yoda avatar!
Thanks Sax. It's going to be my motivation for the next puzzle tomorrow.
