rbnlaw said...: Let's get after Timmah.; 5/10/2009 10:10 AM
Benzo Jones said...: Are we playing the real lincecum or the spooky one from the video game?; 5/10/2009 10:29 AM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Since no one else wants to do it:

Pierre - LF
Furcal - SS
Hudson - 2B
Ethier - RF
Loney - 1B
Loretta - 3B
Kemp - CF
Ausmus - C
Weaver - P; 5/10/2009 11:01 AM
PenosCabell said...: Thanks MLASF. Interesting lineup.; 5/10/2009 11:04 AM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: I'm off. Won't be back for a long while, but I will bring back pictures.; 5/10/2009 11:07 AM
karina said...: Happy Mothers' Day! (and mamacitas too)

The Dodgers can't win every game so can't Tim Lincecum, so let's play optimistic in here.

Hudson as third bat? it sounds interesting, as Penos Campell said, maybe it could be an experiment for a couple of days, see if it works out, while Manny gets back.; 5/10/2009 12:19 PM
Chappy said...: How do everybody?; 5/10/2009 1:01 PM
karina said...: Hi Chappy. First zero by Weaver.

Watching the game on TV, with the Giants broadcast so i'll stick with the latin announcers.; 5/10/2009 1:20 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: "Now he just sits there, struggling to breathe"; 5/10/2009 1:21 PM
PenosCabell said...: Lets see if Pierre can keep up the hot bat.

Joe flooding the top of the order with lefties; 5/10/2009 1:22 PM
PenosCabell said...: Rabbits loose; 5/10/2009 1:22 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Just to set the mood - I'm listening to Travis's cover of "The Weight" by The Band. Perfect sunny Sunday music.

But still wish I was at the game.; 5/10/2009 1:23 PM
Damon said...: OH shit JP walk; 5/10/2009 1:23 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Is this the real Linceum pitching, or the CG one?

(Now got Tracey Ullman's "They Don't Know About Us"); 5/10/2009 1:26 PM
Damon said...: Someone tell him to cut that hair; 5/10/2009 1:26 PM
Damon said...: As much as I dislike JP he's been good this year; 5/10/2009 1:27 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: If there's a poster boy for not even walking near steroids, I think it's Linceum. He's built like a pixie stick.; 5/10/2009 1:27 PM
karina said...: Travis is great Sunday music.

By the way, Pierre is making himself useful. That's good because the team can show him for a trade.; 5/10/2009 1:28 PM
karina said...: Hudson RBI sac fly. 1-0; 5/10/2009 1:30 PM
PenosCabell said...: 1-0

Lakers down 54-36 at halftime; 5/10/2009 1:31 PM
karina said...: I don't want the Lakers lose the series with Rockets.; 5/10/2009 1:32 PM
PenosCabell said...: Lakers came out looking real bad. They didn't take advantage of Yao's absence. Kobe was a real ballhog in the 1st quarter.; 5/10/2009 1:33 PM
Damon said...: Will we get the Dream Weaver today?; 5/10/2009 1:35 PM
karina said...: We will, Damon. Let's be optimistic and wait.; 5/10/2009 1:37 PM
Damon said...: I know they're trying to rest Martin but he's been really good lately(Plus I have him on my fantasy team)but couldn't they at least let him play one more day; 5/10/2009 1:37 PM
PenosCabell said...: The bobble cost Weaver the out at 3B; 5/10/2009 1:38 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Losing Yao might make the team better. Happened to Orlando without Howard that game.; 5/10/2009 1:39 PM
Orel said...: I'm happy about scoring in the first. But we'll need to build on it.; 5/10/2009 1:39 PM
PenosCabell said...: While the Lakers are struggling with Houston, the Nuggets and Cavs are about to sweep their series'.; 5/10/2009 1:40 PM
Orel said...: Kemp saves another run or two.; 5/10/2009 1:41 PM
karina said...: That's why you can't give IBB sparingly.; 5/10/2009 1:41 PM
NicJ said...: I knew weavers last apperance was a fluke.; 5/10/2009 1:42 PM
PenosCabell said...: Yeah, but IBB Ishikawa? They should have gone after him.; 5/10/2009 1:42 PM
Damon said...: he's hitting .193 lets walk him; 5/10/2009 1:44 PM
PenosCabell said...: UH OH.; 5/10/2009 1:44 PM
Damon said...: I can't watch this ill be back; 5/10/2009 1:45 PM
Orel said...: Ugh, Weaver. 2-1 Giants.; 5/10/2009 1:45 PM
karina said...: Pablo Sandoval, Rancho Ardiendo and an out of contro pitcher are bad news.; 5/10/2009 1:46 PM
Orel said...: That could have been worse.

The Giants send eight men to the plate and only one hit the ball hard: the pitcher.; 5/10/2009 1:46 PM
karina said...: He grounded out!. It could have been much worse. Anyway, someone should be warming up at the bullpen.; 5/10/2009 1:47 PM
NicJ said...: I'm glad sandoval is an impatient hitter.; 5/10/2009 1:49 PM
NicJ said...: Well it looks like tiny tim has clamped down.; 5/10/2009 1:53 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Were they filming McCourt through vaseline?; 5/10/2009 1:55 PM
NicJ said...: The last person I want to hear is frank mccourt.; 5/10/2009 1:56 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: I do love pink bat day. Though I think they should do bedazled bats next year.; 5/10/2009 1:56 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: "Anger gets you nowhere"
I think anger has gotten us far in the human race.; 5/10/2009 1:58 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Weaver's lost some pounds along with that hair.; 5/10/2009 2:05 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: That last pitch to Weaver was NASTY. Lincecum really does deserve his own CG Doppelgänger.; 5/10/2009 2:07 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: That's how we do it in Raffi-Wood.
2-2.; 5/10/2009 2:10 PM
NicJ said...: JP is making it really hard to not like him.; 5/10/2009 2:11 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Orlando with the dramatic exit at the plate.; 5/10/2009 2:12 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Sax might owe the Pierre family an apology.; 5/10/2009 2:14 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Aflac answer...

Lincecum
Johnson
Peavy
Webb
Zito

Funny how the worst teams have all of them.; 5/10/2009 2:21 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: five for five!
And the Giants still wank; 5/10/2009 2:25 PM
karina said...: What was the question?; 5/10/2009 2:28 PM
karina said...: On the broadcast, they brought up Pierre's performance so far and how it can help him to land a trade. Then, the announcer says "the first option would be the White Sox" and i can't help to think why Pierre has to play in my teams.; 5/10/2009 2:30 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Wouldn't you miss his smiling face, and the frustration he brings to everyone on this board (besides me); 5/10/2009 2:31 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Pierre looking good in the field. A few less than easy catches there.; 5/10/2009 2:34 PM
karina said...: can't believe this Pierre defense!

Delino, at one point, i'd love to miss Juan Pierre.; 5/10/2009 2:35 PM
karina said...: Great catches but our worries focus on his throws.; 5/10/2009 2:35 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Not so much a horrible bunt as a great play. May pink give Juan that extra power; 5/10/2009 2:40 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: SWEEEEEETTTTTT.
Pink = Power!; 5/10/2009 2:41 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Manny who :-); 5/10/2009 2:41 PM
NicJ said...: Man. I hope JP keeps that pink bat.; 5/10/2009 2:41 PM
karina said...: Pierre: Dodgers MVP this week. Unbelievable!; 5/10/2009 2:41 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Something tells me that Manny might not have caught up to those flyballs. (Especially now that we know where his mind's been); 5/10/2009 2:42 PM
Eric Karros said...: Hi folks. Wow, JP continues his unstoppableness.; 5/10/2009 2:43 PM
NicJ said...: Did JP get into manny's medicine?; 5/10/2009 2:45 PM
karina said...: Who would have thought, Eric?

Furcal stroke out with a pitch that should be illegal.; 5/10/2009 2:45 PM
Eric Karros said...: Wow Lakers have cut lead to 13.; 5/10/2009 2:45 PM
Eric Karros said...: I never would have guessed, Karina. But good for him!; 5/10/2009 2:46 PM
karina said...: Maybe it's his supposed work ethic, maybe he wants a trade, maybe he reads our comments on this blog and wants to teach us better.; 5/10/2009 2:47 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Lincecum has got Weaver's old hair. And now pitching like he did a couple of years ago.; 5/10/2009 2:47 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Written on Pierre's knuckles:
F.U.C.- S.O.S.G; 5/10/2009 2:49 PM
karina said...: Hahahahahaha, Delino. Be careful because at least, i don't live in the US.; 5/10/2009 2:50 PM
Eric Karros said...: Or maybe one of the commenters is really JP? Hmmm...any frequent Game Thread commenter who has suddenly been absent the last few games since JP has been playing is under suspicion.; 5/10/2009 2:51 PM
karina said...: Rancho Ardiendo for the hated ones. No outs.; 5/10/2009 2:52 PM
Eric Karros said...: Delino - if so, he's disqualified from winning the orange shake.; 5/10/2009 2:52 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Now that play Manny could have done.; 5/10/2009 2:52 PM
karina said...: Eric, you are getting me paranoid, what if really Juan Pierre is among us?

Oh my God, Juan Pierre is watching us!

It could be a slogan for a shirt.; 5/10/2009 2:56 PM
karina said...: Troncoso on the mound. It's a relief.; 5/10/2009 2:57 PM
karina said...: It wasn't. Dodgers 4-Giants 3; 5/10/2009 3:03 PM
karina said...: don't walk the pitcher... specially when he's left handed as yourself.; 5/10/2009 3:07 PM
Damon said...: steve garvey jersey spotted; 5/10/2009 3:08 PM
karina said...: Epale, Damon!

I got a hunch they are going to win this game.; 5/10/2009 3:10 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Spot a Delino jersey... then I'm impressed.; 5/10/2009 3:12 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: or ashamed.; 5/10/2009 3:12 PM
karina said...: it should have been you, Aaron Rowand.; 5/10/2009 3:14 PM
Eric Karros said...: Karina, if JP were really among us, that'd be pretty awesome.; 5/10/2009 3:18 PM
Eric Karros said...: Anyways I will be in and out of this gamethread. Hard to stay focused when the game's not on TV.

Plus I gotta make dinner and work on tomorrow's puzzle!; 5/10/2009 3:18 PM
Damon said...: it would add to the scrappyness of the sosg posters; 5/10/2009 3:19 PM
Eric Karros said...: Not to mention our average income.; 5/10/2009 3:23 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: The joke's on you, cause (removing mask) I'm Juan Pierre.

Bring me the head of Steve Sax!; 5/10/2009 3:23 PM
Orel said...: Will the final score indeed be 4-3 Dodgers?; 5/10/2009 3:25 PM
Orel said...: Lakers lost. Wasn't expecting that.; 5/10/2009 3:26 PM
karina said...: Steve Sax doesn't mean any harm...

Tomorrow's puzzle day, i had forgotten! maybe this one i would resolve.; 5/10/2009 3:26 PM
Eric Karros said...: Actually, if one of our readers were JP, he would exhibit the following commenting patters:

-Did not comment until end of last season, when JP's playing time ceded to Manny.

-Commented frequently early this season until the last few games when JP started again.

Not sure who this might be, as I'm not on the Game Threads often enough. Not Delino. Maybe Natalie?; 5/10/2009 3:29 PM
karina said...: Natalie is the poet here. We should research on the game threads then.

It could be a theme for a puzzle.; 5/10/2009 3:32 PM
Eric Karros said...: I will be rooting for you in tomorrow's puzzle, Karina; 5/10/2009 3:32 PM
karina said...: #100!; 5/10/2009 3:32 PM
Orel said...: Nice try by Renteria there, but even Casey's faster than that.; 5/10/2009 3:32 PM
karina said...: Awwwww, thanks, Eric.

That's why you always get your camion de carino :); 5/10/2009 3:33 PM
Orel said...: Juan with another base knock. Boy I hope he can keep it up.; 5/10/2009 3:34 PM
karina said...: By the way, #100 was Eric's.

3-3 for Pierre today.; 5/10/2009 3:34 PM
karina said...: Look, Merkin at the bullpen!; 5/10/2009 3:34 PM
Damon said...: I picked up JP today in my espn league. I need SB bad; 5/10/2009 3:35 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: (From wristwatch)
Oh, I'm back. What did I miss? Oh, that amazing Pierre batted. Man, I wish I got to see that.; 5/10/2009 3:35 PM
Orel said...: Nice try, Karina!; 5/10/2009 3:36 PM
Orel said...: Karina's on the Merkin bandwagon!; 5/10/2009 3:36 PM
Orel said...: Again: Is Furcal hurt?; 5/10/2009 3:37 PM
Orel said...: O-Dog has pink shoelaces!; 5/10/2009 3:38 PM
Orel said...: If Broxton gets the save today, we can thank Stults for saving his arm.; 5/10/2009 3:41 PM
karina said...: Orel, that is your and the crew's influence!; 5/10/2009 3:42 PM
Orel said...: Belisario is rockin' the pink Phiten!; 5/10/2009 3:44 PM
Orel said...: We will corrupt you once and for all, Karina.; 5/10/2009 3:44 PM
Orel said...: Uh-oh. Giants have men on 1st & 2nd, no out.; 5/10/2009 3:49 PM
Orel said...: Wade double-clutches on the bunt. Rancho Ardiendo for the Giants.; 5/10/2009 3:50 PM
karina said...: That wasn't save; 5/10/2009 3:51 PM
NicJ said...: What's up with wade.; 5/10/2009 3:51 PM
karina said...: It's lovely you corrupt me. At least i won't put any resistance.; 5/10/2009 3:51 PM
Orel said...: Wade K's Aurilia! Let's get a DP now!; 5/10/2009 3:54 PM
Orel said...: Wade seems to be making good pitches. They're just making better contact.; 5/10/2009 3:55 PM
Orel said...: Sac fly ties it up. If we keep it that way, we'd be lucky.; 5/10/2009 3:56 PM
karina said...: Tied game.; 5/10/2009 3:56 PM
NicJ said...: Lincecum gets off again.; 5/10/2009 3:56 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: If we can get out of this inning with only giving up a run, it's a miracle.; 5/10/2009 3:56 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Game of the day might be nationals - diamondbacks. It's a shoot out. Who knew they had it in them?; 5/10/2009 3:58 PM
Orel said...: "If the bullpen isn't involved, it doesn't seem like a Dodger game." —Vin; 5/10/2009 3:58 PM
Orel said...: MIRACLE; 5/10/2009 3:59 PM
NicJ said...: Don't worry guys. JP is up 4th.; 5/10/2009 3:59 PM
Eric Karros said...: what just happened?; 5/10/2009 4:00 PM
Damon said...: WTF wade; 5/10/2009 4:00 PM
Damon said...: Thats just what we needed!; 5/10/2009 4:04 PM
Orel said...: Rich Aurilia just killed us.; 5/10/2009 4:05 PM
Orel said...: XP up; 5/10/2009 4:06 PM
Damon said...: Free Lambo; 5/10/2009 4:07 PM
Damon said...: Was #3 Delwyn Youngs number?; 5/10/2009 4:08 PM
Orel said...: XP base knock!; 5/10/2009 4:08 PM
Orel said...: MERKIN ALERT; 5/10/2009 4:08 PM
NicJ said...: man loney has been horrible this home stand.; 5/10/2009 4:08 PM
karina said...: Congrats, Xavier Paul. Now, it's Bison time with two outs.; 5/10/2009 4:09 PM
Orel said...: Nice call, Damon.; 5/10/2009 4:11 PM
NicJ said...: Wow. Molina levels down XP.; 5/10/2009 4:12 PM
Orel said...: Wow, someone made contact against Broxton.; 5/10/2009 4:15 PM
karina said...: Gotta go :(; 5/10/2009 4:18 PM
MattyA said...: Charlie Steiner: "Some of the players are using the pink-painted bats today on breast awareness day."; 5/10/2009 4:18 PM
Orel said...: Broxton 1-2-3!; 5/10/2009 4:20 PM
Orel said...: Every day is Breast Awareness Day.; 5/10/2009 4:20 PM
Orel said...: Bye, Karina!; 5/10/2009 4:20 PM
MattyA said...: Amen to that; 5/10/2009 4:21 PM
Orel said...: Odds of Ausmus walk-off homer?; 5/10/2009 4:26 PM
MattyA said...: Can Juan prove us all wrong one more time?; 5/10/2009 4:33 PM
NicJ said...: I hate rowand; 5/10/2009 4:34 PM
Orel said...: Damn you, Aaron Rowand.; 5/10/2009 4:34 PM
MattyA said...: So close...; 5/10/2009 4:34 PM
Chappy said...: crap.; 5/10/2009 4:34 PM
Damon said...: 0; 5/10/2009 4:34 PM
Damon said...: o dawg was not happy there; 5/10/2009 4:48 PM
Orel said...: Good thing we have the day off tomorrow.; 5/10/2009 4:50 PM
NicJ said...: this game has loss written all over it.; 5/10/2009 4:51 PM
Damon said...: Broxton can't pitch 3 innings?; 5/10/2009 4:53 PM
Orel said...: That would be pushing it.; 5/10/2009 4:55 PM
Orel said...: Phew, not a great route by Ethier but he catches up to it.; 5/10/2009 4:56 PM
Orel said...: Wow, since last year, the Giants are 18-89 when allowing four runs.; 5/10/2009 4:57 PM
Orel said...: McD 2-out struggling.; 5/10/2009 5:01 PM
Orel said...: phew; 5/10/2009 5:02 PM
Orel said...: The rest of the league isn't going to treat us this kindly.; 5/10/2009 5:02 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: This mini sirloin burger ad is a little grisly. I don't want to think about cute little mini cows getting slaughtered.

Got to cut my posts short today. There's veal for dinner.; 5/10/2009 5:04 PM
Orel said...: This is not exactly riveting baseball.; 5/10/2009 5:07 PM
Orel said...: Here comes J-Mart to save the day!; 5/10/2009 5:07 PM
Damon said...: lets go russ; 5/10/2009 5:10 PM
Orel said...: "Ballgame is almost four hours old now, so there's a distinct thought that it might go on until Father's Day. We'll see." —Vin; 5/10/2009 5:10 PM
Orel said...: Matt Kemp + pink bat = let's get a walk-off here; 5/10/2009 5:11 PM
Orel said...: Thank you, G. Mota.; 5/10/2009 5:19 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: BLAKE with the defense!; 5/10/2009 5:20 PM
Orel said...: Blake saves Mota's bacon for the first out.; 5/10/2009 5:20 PM
PenosCabell said...: I'm leaving in 20 minutes to see Star Trek , they better get this over with before then.; 5/10/2009 5:21 PM
Orel said...: Mota is killing us. Bases loaded for the Giants, one out.; 5/10/2009 5:24 PM
Orel said...: DP DP DP; 5/10/2009 5:25 PM
Orel said...: We look so incompetent right now.; 5/10/2009 5:26 PM
MattyA said...: Why is Mota even on the roster?; 5/10/2009 5:27 PM
Delino DeShields, Sr said...: Mota pitching. Pretty much what I expected. (if they knock in another run or two, that is); 5/10/2009 5:27 PM
MattyA said...: Come on Ausmus - at least take a cut.; 5/10/2009 5:31 PM
NicJ said...: What a horrible way to lose.; 5/10/2009 5:32 PM
Orel said...: CASEY
CASEY

NicJ said...: Damn aumus. Why wasn't he on base.; 5/10/2009 5:34 PM
Orel said...: Leach?; 5/10/2009 5:34 PM
