Chad Billingsley (14-10, 3.02) vs Jeff Francis (4-9, 5.03).
COMMENTS: Happy Andre Ethier Day! A wild off-day filled with Wonder Dogs, foxes and Wookiees, ducks and chickens has readied us for a return to the the NL West jungle, where the Dodgers lead the Snakes by 3.5 games. The Dodgers' Pitbull goes against former Thunderbird Jeff Francis, while Arizona's Webb-spinner faces Cincinnati. Advantage Diamondbacks, although they are 1-2 against the Reds.
The Dodgers are 8-7 against the Rockies. Let's hope they continue to kick a little ass!

That game thread pic makes me want to watch Ace Ventura again.
Alrighty then.
Andre Ethier singles! Happy Andre Ethier day!
Manny GIDP.
Halliday HR. Rockies 1-0. 2 out.
Hawpe singles...does Bills look bad?
Atkins singles, too.
Owings is going to the Reds. He's the final player of the Dunn trade. Dusty Baker plans to use him as pinch-hitter, becuase they don't want him to injure himself again.
Kemp: in play (runs)
Garciaparra walks.
The Bison doubled!. Game tied!
Kemp advanced to 3rd, due to an error. Berroa sac-fly and that's how Dodgers beat Rockies 2-1.
Edit: DeWitt sac-fly. Next, Berroa singled.
Tulowistzky doubled. One out.
Taveras HBP. Barmes singled. Game tied. Halliday fortunately strikes out.
Edit: Gameday played with my mind. Halliday flied out.
Martin works the walk to start the inning.
Ethier grounds into force out.
Garciaparra doubles!. No outs!
Kemp singles, Garciaparra scores, Kemp reaches second for an error. No outs! Dodgers 3-2
DeWitt grounds out, Kemp to 3rd, Berroa K, Bills is up.
When Barmes was at the plate, Bills made a bad throw. Taveras is now at 3rd, 2 outs.
Martin started the inning getting on base, again. He singled.
A. Ethier: in play (no outs)
Another error by the Colorado defense. Martin and Ethier in first and second. Go Manny!
Manny flied out into double play. Martin was out at 3rd. Wish i could see that play.
Bills walks Atkins, after dominating Holliday and Hawpe with two pitches.
Bills made every out of the 5th, throwing one pitch to each batter.
He's not his dominant self, but he's keeping the team on the game, as remarkable pitchers do.
Thanks for holding down the fort, Karina!
No score in AZ.
Good to see Kemp hitting today. 2-for-3 w/2 RBIs.
A pleasure, Orel. I hope you don't mind.
Friday night and i'm feeling very geeky, don't know why...
It's all the Star Wars talk.
How was that not a strike???
C'mon Chad, hold it together.
Orel, i'm working on my thesis, keeping an eye on the game, commenting here, watching with my other eye Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, then i plan to watch the Angels game, crossing fingers Kid Rodriguez breaks the record. Does it sound a little bit geeky?
You can do it, Bills!
Bills k's Helton!
Bills did it!...still no score between Arizona and Cincinatti.
Delwyn Young sighting!
Just how many eyes do you have, Karina?
I'm good multi-tasking. Film just ended, don't know why i even watched it if it is my least favorite of all, so far.
Glad Young got a walk. Son popped put and Ethier K. Manny, you're my only hope.
Manny RBI. 4-2 Dodgers.
1-0 AZ, bot 7.
Hey Orel and Karina, just joining the party after a fun, but early, night out on the town (Melrose in Hollywood, to be specific).
Just saw Manny's RBI. One on, one out in the bottom of the sevent. AZ up 1-0 in the top of the eighth.
Torre pulls Park for Elbert...
Dodgers get out of the seventh! Nice job, Wade!
and Elbert for Wade. Three pitchers to finish the 7th.
Hi Steve!, glad you had a great time.
man on third, none out in AZ
King James sighting.
Karina, I'm just scoping out the scene in anticipation of your visit to LA!
Loney with the leadoff hit.
Arizona defeating Reds 1-0 on the 8th.
S Drew Ks, so there's one out in AZ with a man still at third. 1-0 AZ.
Loney sacrificed to second, but they're IBBing DeWitt to get to Angel Berroa.
Cliff Lee won his 22nd. Wow.
Karina, so when are you getting here, anyway?
Eckstein walks. Men at the corners, one out, in AZ.
Here comes Berroa.
Berroa hits into the 4-6-3 DP.
Dodgers leave one, still lead 4-2.
Awwwwww, Steve!, remember hopefully i'll be there next spring!
Wow, there are SIX postponed games tonight. That means almost half the league is not playing tonight.
Guys, Beltre made a sweeeet defensive play. I still love him, even though he's not a Dodger anymore.
Rockies sending up their four-syllable-last-named players: Iannetta and Tulowitzki.
Boy, the highlight shows are going to suck tonight! Guess we'll see more stories about the OSU/USC game tomorrow.
Chris Young walks in AZ. How cn you walk Young? He's not even batting .250! So here comes Adam Dunn with the bases juiced.
If Francisco Rodriguez breaks the record tonight, expect a LOT of coverage. Down here, it's gonna be madness...
It's not raining here in LA, btw.
Uh-oh, Rancho Ardiendo for Adam Dunn in AZ.
However, Steve, i'm worried about the impasse between Venezuela, or i'd better say Chavez and the USA.
Dunn walks. Arizona 2-Cincinnati 0. Rancho Ardiendo, one out.
Sorry to join the party late - glad to see we are up. And with two on with manny up!
Gameday is way behind tonight.
Hey a Pierre sighting!
10 push ups for that pop up Pierre.
with Rancho Ardiendo...i hope he does it right...
3-0 AZ.
Tough decision for Torre: Sweeney or Pierre?
Decision for Torre should have been Wade to bat...
Loney with a 3-RBI double! 7-2 Dodgers!
Loney comes through AGAIN at Coors. Clears the bases...opens it WIDE OPEN!
27 RBIs over 17 ABs in CO for Loney, says Vin.
That's why he's called KING.
Proctor sighting! GO PROCTOLOGIST!
Padres outright Brian Falkenberg - remember him on the dodgers earlier this year?
10 of 11!
dodgers win! three late rbi from James!
See you tomorrow, I'm going back out to the bars!
Finally, Dodgers are spoiling us!
Steve, i like the way you talk. Have fun!
Rancho Ardiendo for the Reds....
Two outs...
In play, run(s)!
Arizona 3- Reds 2
Come on you REDS!!!! Congrats to the dodgers too! Go blue!
Damn stirke out Az wins...well at least we took care of business.
Aaugh, so close. But AZ wins.
As long they keep with this pace, everything's all right.
