Randy Wolf (1-1, 3.93) vs. Jordan Zimmermann (2-1, 4.24).
COMMENTS: Hey everybody, anything interesting happen today? I just think it's great how we're in the middle of this historic winning streak and it feels as if nothing can go wrong. It's like, I don't know, we're in some invisible bubble that protects us from all the evil in the world. Undefeated at Dodger Stadium! There's no place like home There's no place like home There's no place like home

Orel - Get around?
You guys are getting sneaky. No multiple of 100 gets unclaimed.
My bad—Hernandez was on the bag.
Tron is in now
Tron Tron
I like the idea of having two long-relief guys in the pen.
"Orel - Get around?"
Meaning, trying to pull the ball but swinging late.
thanks, Orel. i think sleeping on it is a good idea. i am glad we are playing the Nats today and not starting the Giants series
I like the idea of a big bat in the middle of the order.
It was a grounder, but not where Tron wanted it to go
Orel - Perhaps nerves. Paul's bat is plenty fast.
argh, wild pitch
Well, there goes the GIDP
argh, runner goes to third
Funny about that, Rbn...
C'mon Tron get rid of SWAS
Trade a run for an out.
well, that helps hurt their hits with RISP
Okay, I'll bite. SWAS?
Sole Washington All Star
hey everyone, looked like i missed an evertful evening.
argh, Tron is scaring me
Tron doesn't have it tonight
The O-Man is in
Oh-Man to handle Dunn.
argh, damn that dunn
im getting a joe biemel flashback.
I hope that wasn't Donkeyed
Or not handle him. If this game falls apart, everyone will blame the juju.
Yuck.
This is getting way too close
Suddenly we have a game.
Ohman looks like a grandpa in his official picture.
now who is taking juju?
Now it's Wade's turn to try to end this friggin inning
Good job, Wade.
Ok Wade, just finish this nightmare inning please.
Did Vin ever opine on Manny?
YAY
alright Wade, he's still got enough for the eighth
Bunt like the Cake Juan.
Juan Pierre will soothe our battered hearts.
jp could have turned that into a double.
Single for JP. Hopefully we've got something cooking
Never mind.
oh dammit
my hatred for Juan Pierre runs as deep as my hatred for ... Bill Plaschke.
Damn it Juan. You do something good and follow it up with something stupid. As base stealer of his ilk should not get picked off by Kenny Rogers or Mark Langston, let alone Villone.
Willinghamwood!
way to break a wrist
what about JP's house of slapjacks?
but "a jack" = a HR
Wade was robbed on that hook
The blind ump cost Wade a 3 pitch K
Gameday says that second pitch was a strike
Tonight would be a bad night for a blown save.
That wasn't Wade's fault so much as it was poor umpiring.
This is where I hope Karina is wrong about Flores being so "clutch."
dammit Wade
Wade's pitches are quite nasty tonight, despite the results. He had a 18" pFX on that second fastball to Flores.
this is killing me
one out, just let Wade get one out
The Dodgers could use a triple play.
I leave the house for a couple hours, and you guys let the Nats score 4? Come on, dudes.
Manny would have...never mind.
Catch that damn ball, JP! It bounced in play!
Well, here we are.
Why didn't casey just turn around and step on third?
oh crap
F'ing really? The only one outside Wade throws him and it is a hit? This is just crap luck.
ugh... i feel like im gonna vomit.
I still have some puke bags left from last night if anyone's interested.
I want a grounder to Furcal and a 6-2-3 DP
DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT
things could be worse.
Hey wheres manny by the way?
OH FFS!!!!
Wade is serving up bp out here, wtf
3 straight fast balls?
what's happened to the bullpen!?
Unreal.
dammit now it's SWAS
Wow. Wade can't buy an out. This has to be the worst example of a pitcher throwing well and still getting screwed I have seen in a while.
The sky is falling?
do you ever just get that feeling?...
Looks like J. Martin gets another chance to make a statement in the next inning.
Wade better get this guy
ugg we should be winning
there we go, guzman gone
SWAS goes down swinging
rough nite for wade
its nice that even with this whole manny thing happening the bullpen can remind us where the real problem is.
Who does Torre bring in at this point? Broxton shouldn't be wasted and Mota is a time bomb. Belisario? J-Mac?
the Leach
Sax, check your e-mail.
B.Leach time! He's gonna clean out the competition!
Oh right. We have another lefty now. The guy with the crazy Limbaugh-loving wife.
unfortunately no one comes to mind to pitch in this void.
Brent Leach... the new lefty specialist
Leach? As in fresh-off-his-first-game Leach?
Brent Leach, Rosin Bag Boy
B.Leach is going to end this stain of an inning.
wow, manny would of caught that.
This is exhausting.
Aw Shit.
oh crap
What the f' is Juan Pierre doing out there in left? Tap dancing?
Catch the damn ball! Or play a ricochet, for pete's sake! You act like you're chasing a garter snake!
This really, really screws with our street-cred
They should have left Paul in for his defense.
look at the bright side, at least the giants arent gonna break the streak.
still two innings to score two runs, and with the Nats' bullpen, that's not that far-fetched
Nic - This may be the only thing worse than the Giants breaking it.
Miserable.
Should Pierre have caught the ball? Gameday Audio isn't even working for me right now.
I have a headache.
oh yeah, IBB so you can get to the guy who hit 40 bombs last year, real smart
Wow, this is actually a more depressing day than I had ever imagined. A comeback win for the Nats on the road. Yay.
oh son of a bitch
It's Ethier, Loney and Martin when (if) this half of the inning ends. If they want to prove they can carry this team, there's no time like the present.
that got outta hand quickly
Why take him out Joe? At this point, just let him suck it up and eat the inning.
Now everyone in the nation will look at this game and say "well looks like the Dodgers can't win without Manny"
i doubt it, with the dodgers you kind of expect the worst team to break the streak. Anyways, this cant be good for the confidence of the kids.
Who's due up in the bottom of the inning?
MLSF - Dunn historically has been murdered by lefties. That was a good move.
oh great, Mota!
first pitch- homer.
Juan has the street cred of Alfonso Spears.
Nims - Ethier/Loney/Martin with Kemp if anyone gets on.
Oops, you preempted me Erin. Thanks!
I don't care about matchups at this point. Pitching around a guy to get to one of the best power-hitters in the game is not smart
My head is in my hands.
Ground ball past short, but don't worry, the left fielder can throw out the runner who was on second...
...Oh wait, it's Juan Pierre in left.
oh good lord this won't end
Okay, that ought to do it.
I think I'm off to bed now, for an angry sleep.
erin, so guess who WOULD have been coming up first next inning?
Oh yeah, that guy.
game over.
What bad timing
MLSF - Zimmerman is the best hitter on that team. It makes sense to go after Dunn instead, especially if it puts a force on.
Today the Red Sox scored twelve runs in an inning before recording an out. This must be like what it felt like to be an Indians' fan today.
with the way this inning was going, I was against the idea of putting runners on at all.
Yeah, Sax. I didn't want to say it.
My plea to Joe Torre - PLEASE play an outfield of Ethier/Kemp/Paul tomorrow and for the subsequent 48 games.
On the dan patrick show the other day, the poll question was, "Would you rather have Arod or Torre?" Its an easy one. ARod! easy... right.. easy?
No, those stupid NewYorkers forgot how BAAAAD torre is in game.
What was the deal with Dunn pushing the O-Dog? Wait, they were teammates for a little while, right?
JP has just killed us today with that piece of linguini of an arm
holy crap it's over
Well, like the blind squirrel that finds a nut, Mota found a K. Anyone think Kemp has another grand slam in him?
um, MLSF (and to a lesser extent, Sax), I don't think JP has been our big problem tonight
Orel, right back at you.
seriously, this is out of control at this point.
at least they cant blame this loss on manny being gone.
Beimel is on the mound. Where's my broken beer stein when I need it?
agreed nims.
of course Beimel comes in. Troys gotta be pulling his pubes out.
And Beimel is the lemon juice on the paper cut.
They shouldn't be able to blame this loss on Manny being gone, but I'd bet good money that they will anyway.
Nic - They probably can. Manny would have actually made plays on those balls. Especially the throws.
Oh good heaven. Insult to injury on a day that was all insults and injuries.
you think to be nice beimel would just throw up a bunch of lollipops.
Well, the ump must have a directive. That was a ball.
and Beimel does what Beimel does... gets outs...
why didnt we sign him again? What do yya bet Ned trades for him mid season... sending X Paul and JMac for him.
so you blame the bullpen being terrible tonight on JP get real, manny doesn't have a cannon or anything, and odds are his throw would of been to the following runner, he rarely makes throws to the plate.
This day is been so wrong and depressing. Nats scoring 6 runs in the 8th? Manny? for the sweet love of baby Jesus we'll have to endure Juan Pierre for 45 games?it's more than wrong, it's evil.
I actually think Paul should be starting, not JP
and russ pulls the ball once again.
It hurts me seeing Beimel wearing another uniform.
Actually, Manny does have an above-average arm, especially for a LF. Anyway, no matter. This game shouldn't have been blown and I blame Wade's struggles more on getting his K-zone choked to death.
J. Martin starts a rally?
atta boy russ.
How bout the topspin on J. Martin's hit?
Please, hit a grand slam here Kemp (even though there is only one man on base)
Nic - That is the kind of ball Russ should pull. An 86 MPH fastball on the inner half. If he tries to go the other way, he pops up.
BTW Russ, please don't get picked.
come on, Kempy
"there are no smiles now." --Vin
russ pulls EVERY ball, i know you love the guy but give me a break.
Man. It is really hard to make solid contact off Beimel.
Hey Orel, if I'm lurking right now and not posting, should I be compelled to start posting?
just asking.
Nic - Russ has been too pull happy this year, but that pitch was properly pulled.
Attention SoSG lurkers: Now would be a good time to make a token comment. Trust me on this one.
agreed.
atta boy matty
do we always have to reach beyond 400?
dare I say a rally is starting?
SPEED.
SoSG lurkers: you should listen to Orel. The man is serious.Trust me.
SPEED.
token comment
At least Kemp is putting up a fight. And he gets a hit out of it. Now it's Blake, followed by a pinch hitter and Pierre. Not the best makings for a rally, but we have to start somewhere.
Blake can get us back into this game with one swing.
its time this team mans up!!! get it together and rally around a common goal. WINNING!
Blake is the big player this inning...then pray on loretta and expect a minor miracle with Pierre.
Funny how Gameday calls Beimel's heater a change.
Put a charge in it Casey.
blake is fighting a good fight
tension is magnifying!
Blake just fouled off ball 3, but this ump's zone is so weird, who knows?
400
Wow, props to Casey there.
Feel the power of the beard.
the beard bops one in.
Pretty sneaky, Erin.
