Clayton Kershaw (1-3, 5.21) vs. John Koronka (0-1, 9.64).
COMMENTS:
Today is getaway day.
You're off to Dodger Stadium!
You're off and away!
You have hats on your head.
You have spikes on your shoes.
You have three wins this road trip,
a fourth = good news!
So bid farewell to Land Shark. The name does not impress.
You're not coming back—unless for the NLCS.
Today it's Kershaw
versus Koronka
as we wait for Kuroda
to get off his badonkadonka.
You are Beast Mode and Raffy
O-Dog and 'Dre.
When Torre rests regulars
The bench finds a way.
J-Mart, King James
Bison and the Beard.
Manny didn't distract
As many had feared.
Mets, next in line
but one game at a time.
On basepaths things can happen
and frequently do
for teams as speedy
and toolsy as you.
And if things don't happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.
OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

That was beautiful.
Anyone know today's line-up?
Well written Orel!
Let's hope Kershaw puts a lot of (green) eggs up on the scoreboard.
One hour to game time.
Lakers/Rockets game 7 @ 12:30
Today's Lineup:
Pierre - LF
Loretta - 3B
Hudson - 2B
Kemp - CF
Loney - 1B
Ausmus - C
Paul - RF
Castro - SS
Kershaw - P
Thanks for the line-up MLASF.
A lot of guys getting rested today.
Nice to see XP get a start
Yeah, Ethier could use a day off.
Jeez, that stadium looks even emptier today
You weren't kidding MLASF. There is no one there.
beat up on this Koronka kid
We are underway
Beast Mode is every mode
Loretta gets a hit.
Hard-hit fly ball, nothing doing for O-Dog.
If there was an ump that fit the stereotypical image of an ump, it's at second base.
3 straight balls to Bison, he should shop next if it is decent.
Kemp walks. Bases juiced for Loney
Blown fielder's choice. Pierre and Loretta score.
Time for Bid Daddy Braddy
Jeez, what is this? SoSG's imitation of a Marlins game? Where is everyone?
It's a quiet Sunday morning in SOSG.
Not a good AB from XP.
Nice pick by the O-Dog
Nice basket-catch by Beast Mode!
Castro with a bomb!
That ball could have made it to the other Castro.
Koronka is one terrible fielder
Walks and errors are killing the Marlins.
Sorry for the absent , i had some lunch, i was starving!
Koronka was taken off the mound. New pitcher and Beast modehits a 2 RBI double.
Dodgers 2-Marlins 0
At this rate, the Dodgers will win 18-0
My bad, Dodgers 6-Marlins 0. They've scored a couple of runs in each inning, including a Castro solo homer.
Good sized lead with Kersh on the mound. Great chance to spell the bullpen.
Did anyone see SNL last night with Harry Caray?
It's nice to wake up to Beast Mode.
Uh, I wont say it, but Kershaw is pitching VERY WELL...
That's why everyone's quiet.
you know i don't curse but DAMN, the announcer of the game i'm watching on tv just mentioned how well the Minotaur is pitching.
Lots of walks though, but that curve is wicked...
Wow, ramirez ripped that, but foul. Phew.
Kid Kershaw with 93 pitches...
There's already something about the kid's performance at mlb.com.
Don't you feel slightly nervous, at least?
King James singles after two outs.
Wow, fastball for another K. 100 pitches...
Nervous yes. I just want him to get through the innings wihtout a lot of pitches.
Uggla was frozen with the fastball. Another K.
Strikeouts out the side - I think he is just letting it rip now - throwing a lot of fastballs. Getting more aggressive.
Come on X Man!
XP gets a "window" to first with the walk.
Same here, Alex Cora...less pitches...
The kid can bunt too - beautiful one down the 3rd baseline.
I am not moving from my couch, nor am I changing the channel - sorry lakers.
We now live in a world when Juan Pierre gets IBB.
Rancho Ardiendo for the Dodgers.
Ok Loretta, get some more runs - and rest for the kid.
2 run double for the vet. He smoked that (with warning track power) to the gap. Nice.
I just forgot about the Lakers game.
MLB.com is offering watching the game for free. I;m getting more and more nervous.
I'm following the game on my iPhone. There must be someone goodng off on the control side of the app because it says that JP was intentionally walked.
Two more runs!!! 10-0 dodgers. Go job by the subs!
The Marlins have no hope. They should just roll over.
Nic j, that's a great avatar.
If this game ends the right way, I won't even care if the Lakers lose.
Bottom of the 8th and this game has made news everywhere.
DAMMIT!
CRAP CRAP CRAP. This is totally my fault - I had to get up to goto the bathroom - come back and looks what happens...sorry.
I really, really, really hate Cody Ross
It's not your fault. It's Cody Ross, they're losing by ten in the 8th inning...
Ross and Victorino on my hit list...
Damn my weak bladder.
What the hell do they have to gain by getting that one measley, stinking run?
I'm on the Lakers now. They're winning 17-4
Orel, sorry I'm waking up after a long night now...that's a nice Game Thread.
Can we stretch the literary references streak to three games?
too bad about that cody ross hit btw, which I saw, but did not mention on this GT
Agree, Mr LASF.
Alex, it wasn't your fault again,Cody Ross is the one to blame and he should pay next time he comes into Dodger Stadium.
When the Marlins come to LA, someone's gonna hafta through a pitch at Ross.
Take em deep XP.
Now you brought the subject, Steve, i gotta say Orel i LOVED this game thread...Dr. Seuss, WOW, lovely and charming.
You know Eric Collins knows too much about different people's names in baseball. He is riffing on the "Kikos" in baseball. Yesterday it was all the "erics" on the dodgers. Getting annoying...
He was talking about all the Juans earlier
Calero, J.Pierre, in play (runs), everything at the very first pitch...
Can Mota protect a ten-run lead?
11-run lead?
I said it before and I'll say it again: What the hell did Florida have to gain?
Why does Loretta always look so pissed off?
Lakers 24, Rockets 15 with 9:21 left in the 2nd.
29-15!
Last licks for the Fish.
The only time I wanna see Guillermo Mota is with an 11 run lead.
Lakers looking good.
Mota gets Ramirez to pop out for out #1.
Alex Cora, he can weep or be angry all the time, but truth is he's done a marvelous job so far in the season.

Thanks Orel.
AC, your avatar disappeared!
Don't forget, Wednesday is Casey Blake Bobblehead night.
Is 11 runs safe with Guillermo Mota?
C'mon Mota, finish it off.
98
99
100!
A single, a double and two straight balls, after two outs...
2 out in the 9th inning to get to 100 comments? People must still be asleep.
RA for the Marlins.
I'm worried.
Kinda cheap, Karina!
I'm not.
For once.
Dude Mota sucks....Oh and Ross coming up with the bases juiced.
Mota, you've got an 0-2 count on Ross with an 11-run lead and two out. Come on, dude.
I'm pretty aware of my cheapness, but i had to capitalize on the Marlins-like attendance on this game thread.
Hit 'em in the head, Mota!
2-2 count
Mota, we want to go home
What are they chanting?
Damn Mota, I wanna turn the Laker game on!!!
I hear you, Karina.
They are saying "CODY!"
Cody Ross hates us!
Release Mota!!!
Mota gives up a grand slam.
GET MOTA OFF THE TEAM
OK Cody is officially on the Dodgers hit list. Bastard.
what a waste of a roster spot
DFA! DFA!DFA! DFA!
Hey mota, why don't you underhand that pitch.
Hopefully this is the last time we'll ever have to see Mota leave a game as a Dodger.
RELEASE HIM
Hope no one had the over.
Please Ned, release Mota. Like Sax said, he's a waste of a roster spot and he is a huge waste of money. The Dodgers are paying this guy $2 million? Unbelievable.
When the Marlins come to Chavez Ravine, you guys should put up a thread involving "There Will Be Blood" and Cody Ross
woo hoo
The O-Man ends the game.
okay, off to watch the laker game.
Yippi-i-yo, mini sirloin burgers!
DFA?
Mota's been dreadful, a grand slam after 2 outs, in the ninth inning?. Young Kershaw padawan deserved a shutout.
And definitely, Cody Ross needs to pay for today.
WillohMan to the rescue.
I hope that was the last time we see Mota in Dodger blue.
Finally...Oh man. Great game Kid Kershaw. Will have to look for a new avatar.
Post-Game Thread is up!
Lakers up 43-26 with 3:00 in the 2nd.
Go Blue!
Just wanted to chime in, albeit late, with major props for the Seuss riff.
New S--- List:
Victorino
Cody Ross
Yankees
