Chad Billingsley (4-0, 2.14) vs. Chad Gaudin (0-0, 0.00).
COMMENTS:
- A win today would give the Dodgers series sweeps of three of their four NL West opponents. And it's only May.
- The Dodgers' 9-0 record at Dodger Stadium ties them with the 1946 Brooklyn Dodgers for the best home start in club history. (Never mind what happened to that 1946 squad.)
- Coincidentally, the Dodgers' 17-8 overall record ties them with the Cardinals for the best record in the major leagues. But the Cardinals seem to have a slight edge in the overall numbers:
HITTING R H HR RBI BB SO AVG OBP SLG GIDP Dodgers 134 242 22 129 121 164 .283 .374 .429 25 Cardinals 140 235 29 138 99 150 .280 .359 .452 18 PITCHING ERA CG SHO SV SVO R ER HR BB SO Dodgers 3.96 0 2 9 16 97 96 17 94 179 Cardinals 3.57 1 1 9 14 104 89 17 82 162 I just noticed the Dodgers have surrendered only one unearned run this season. Can that be? Wow.
- Housekeeping notes: James McDonald has been moved back to the bullpen, where the team hopes he will find his post-season form.
- Thursday's hero Jeff Weaver will start Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, although a second start isn't guaranteed. "It's just for this time around," Joe Torre said.
- Scheduled to have the start off today: Rafael Furcal, Russell Martin (last night: 3-for-4, 1 SB, 1 runner CS) and Casey Blake.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 296 of 296Okay, I'll be back in a second. Hope the line at the restroom isn't too long.
Murphy's Law either way, but I say stay with Bills.
please keep both hands on the bat kemp
kemp has looked rather terrible
Kemp is a mess today.
Like I said last night: Who's got the worse job; Black of Bocce?
gaudin has 5 k's
matt kemp has 3
bocce, the weather is nicer in san diego
Kemp has regressed a little today.
Kemps goes 0-2 and then whiffs on the slider too often to count.
nice bloop.
Kemp's a giver.
Ausmus has been clutch at every opportunity.
lean like a cholo? come on castro.
Good call Nic. Although, better bars in SF.
waah my eye...
true, im sure both of those jobs require ample amounts of drinking too.
Juan Castro could be the new Vic Davalio.
bills again?
oh well...
Truth, Nic.
So Torre doesn't pull Bills with a runner on third. Hmmm.
YAY CHAD!!
Never mind. Torre is a genius.
Bills!!
Bills contributing to the cause, holy hell!
yes Chad!
chad heard you say that orel
7-8-9 killing Gaugin (I liked the reference on the mainpage)
"So when you get consecutive hits, let's face it, from Brad Ausmus, Juan Castro and Chad Billingsley, you are living very, very well." —Vin
Off to a barbeque. Switching to radio. . .pray for me.
Sorry Saxy - i swear I wasn't trying!
what do i know? Bills batted...and got the RBI!
Go to Tahiti, Gaudin!
Have fun, Rbn!
C'mon Juan, 3-run jack.
damn
walk him!
Chee-pee!
thats a jack for juan. ill take it
Torre couldn't have really thought it would go so well could he?
O DOG
Love it. We're picking up where we left off in the first inning.
It's a scoring avalanche!
Holy Crow!
sf and col no score in the 9th
col has bases loaded, two outs
Bills is gonna be tired after this one, but does he look sharp!
tulo popped out, SF up.
damn giles.
gramps leaves the yard. sucks
a slider for the slider.
nice work after giving up the dong.
Bills just challenging them now. much easier to take at 7-1 vs 3-1
haha nice one Nic!
Bills finishes with 111 pitches.
is eckstein singing?
This ten-year-old has been watching too much "American Idol."
that's his twin sister
"in the clover" - i dig that
at least it wasnt a K
Kemp, Kemp, Kemp. At least it wasn't a K, but he's got to try to be patient.
Cmon Willy O - let's finish this cleanly
come on
"a glove full of empty"
so much for that! damn
That was the schnitzel screw ball...
jump a little higher next time.
and the bullpen starts to open the door.
shift didnt work that time.
damn - he can't get the lefties for some reason
JR Dodgers Broadcast? can i get that as an alternate choice on MLB.com?
Tron again? hmmmm
I wonder if their voices crack FB.
hey casey is in again?
what's a "ribbler" Vin's getting tired?
hehe do you think they can pronounce Troncoso?
Nice play by Castro! wow
juan makes that look easy.
nice play, Juan!
nice pitching, Tron!
Sweet play by Castro.
Yeah, Vin stumbles now and again. I am more than willing to overlook it.
who will go in the 9th? Tron-Tron went almost 2 yesterday. JB in a non-save situation?
me too Orel, it just makes me sad.
Hey, 7-3. Good times!
I should start preparing my will for weavers tuesday start.
get it done!
SF won in extra innings.
I'm kinda wondering why Torre wouldn't try to work things so Weaver starts against the Nats.
jeez Joe - making Tron the next Mike Marshall?
Torre's generation loves to wear out young arms.
he doesnt have a whole lot of options who are reliable.
plus he's only contracted for one more season what does he care.
JP doesnt get a hip bump?
Great game, keeps the streak alive.
This does feel like a special season.
Off to my MLB The Show fantasies...
c-ya!
awesome! great series, guys!
Thanks for playing, everyone!
Post-Game Thread is up.
Great day game today. And I got a souvenir! Andre Ethier threw a ball into the stands that ended up at my feet and I snagged it! 10-0!!!
Sweet! Who needs a picture?
