Chad Billingsley (5-1, 2.30) vs. John Maine (3-2, 4.24).
COMMENTS: Well, that was unexpected. In last night's 11-inning tilt between the Albuquerque Isotopes and the Buffalo Bisons, the home team had five hits and the visitors had five errors. I mean, who makes five errors?
Anyhoo, the NL East-leading Dodgers put their ace Billingsley against the Mets' Maine man tonight. The Dodgers, amazingly still undefeated at home, continue to dominate at Dodger Stadium. Juan Pierre has stepped up in place of Manny Ramirez, who received a shocking lifetime ban from baseball by current commissioner Bart Giamatti. In other news, the world is flat.

You and me both Booger. There's about 5 false statements in this game thread. Is this another theme like "that's good/that's bad?"
come on, guys, work with us here. find the gag
Frozen in time??????
Lifetime ban = Pete Rose + Bart Giamatti.
BTW, its Jewish Heritage Day at Dodger Stadium tonight.
the world is flat? I KNEW IT!!
Off topic (Is there a topic)
In light of RBNlaw's reference to Kentucky Fried Movie, I found the Youtube link to the Big Jim Slade Scene.
Classic sh*t.

Make that

Nice catch Neebs. Now find the Catholic High School Girls in Trouble.
I get the gag. This is the kind of copy that gets by the LA Times editors all the time.
Just watched the Big Jim Slade video.
Forgot that Shadoe Stevens was the voiceover. Nice.
"And the capital of Nebraska is Lincoln!"
RBN: The nudity of the "catholic girls" skit precludes it from Youtube.
I did find the "dead Johnny" gag, though.
I mean I see that there is five errors in that paragraph, but even then, you guys still touched third base.
Ralph Lawler, get your best "BINGO" ready. The Clippers just won the first overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.
Haven't heard from EK in awhile. Wonder if he is still working on his limericks?
this is disgusting.
Nice little end to a bad start for LA.
Play is a little sloppy right now.
Walton hits a big three.
Timeout Denver.
Luke Walton with a 3! Lakers only down by 3, 35-32 Denver.
the bench is playing better than the starters
MLASF - Do you know why Adam Morrison is in street clothes?
He is currently inactive
Oh thanks
he and sun yue went to the mens warehouse.
Way to step all over Vin, Channel 9.
the lakers just cant get over the hump.
Fisher buries it! Lakers with a 1-point lead at halftime!
Jose Reyes=bad case of the clap
i know that Beltran is supposed to be really good, but i'm just not that impressed.
maybe because he's never been arrested/disciplined like all the real greats!
Kemp made another sweet play...
Epale, everybody!
I'm getting the Mets broadcast and they're talking wonders about Bills, Kershaw and Brox.
Murphey picked off.
Nice pickle!! and the rundown was great too!
Karina,
during road games XM only broadcasts the home teams people and lately its been a lot of good talk. the marlins guys were on their knees over broxton.
one thing is for sure though, we are spoiled with Vin on TV. some of the other announcers are crap.
That was awsome.
whats up with murphy?
he must be really funny.
Lakers up by one, Murphy picked off AND makes the Mets' first error of the game.
Everything back to normal now?
do the mets have some kind of Voodoo curse on them or something?
This is like a scene from 'Angels in the Outfield'
Furcal walks! Two on, no out!
Booger, i don't get to listen Vinny as much i'd want to, at least i can watch the game.
My brother, a passionate Mets fan, sitting next to me, has a priceless expression on his face, but i can't make fun of him, he reminded me this morning the same game Sax mentioned earlier.
If you start to feel bad for the Mets, just remember 2006.
Nice new avatar, Karina!
Orlando was sitting dead-red, as they like to say. 1-0 Dodgers!
1-0 Dodgers on Hudson basehit
The O-Dog drives in Pierre!
another run in the first, now if we can just start scoring them in the rest of the innings.
another double play
"So for Andre Ethier, the struggle continues"
Andre=Automatic double play.
what is his problem?
i miss u manny luv andre
Never thought I would see AE get this bad at batting.
at least we know who to bench when Manny comes back.
ethier has to be the worst hit from the manny suspension.
I agree with EK (the real EK) that Ethier's problems are mental.
Andre crumbles everytime he thinks the spotlight is on him.
He did it his rookie year when everyone started putting him into the ROY argument, and he's doing it now.
He needs to grow a pair
Sports psychiatrist ?
its all the bad photo juju
just like on Major League 2: he has no marbles!
he is probably afraid of all the cameras in the stands.
I don't know if anyone reads Tony Jackson, but on his blog he said he will be covering the Dodgers regularly starting June 26.
Ethier should take a few photos to fall back into good graces the fans. His hitting sure won't do that.
Thanks, Orel. I fell in love with that image.
Andre Ethier needs some rest...
That was a strike.
Maybe Ethier's refusal to take photos with fans is a sort of goat.
Bills lost Wright.
definitely a strike
Good penetration by Kobe.
I'm very conflicted with what to watch. There's Dodgers, Lakers, and Reaper.
A lot of channel flipping tonight
He kinda looked out.
Poor tag from Raffy.
Probably won't look into the Lakers until fourth quarter. I've got Yahoo Gamechannel propped up though.
Chad is not sharp tonight.
Bills lookin' a little sloppy
That was a gift from Ramon.
Big strikeout
This Laker game is getting ugly again
Russell is workin hard
At this rate, Chad won't be pitching too long
Whew Lakers came back, tie game at 65 each.
Argh, Bills is way off tonight.
This is painful to watch. Honeycutt needs to calm Chad down.
RA for the Mets. I don't think the final score will be 1-0.
This looks like the old Chad Billingsley.
our ace is pitching like a joker.
HOW DOES THE PITCHER GET A BASE-HIT!?
Wow, is Bills off tonight.
The pitcher gets two RBIs. It's going to be that kind of night.
Fisher 3 makes it LAL 70, DEN 66!
Go Lakers!
have some faith, boys, even when the pitcher gets a 2 RBI hit.
Who'da thunk Ariza was the cause of concern?
Nene on the bench. The Lakers need to penetrate.
Kobe is asking for a suspension.
Impressive for a pitcher not called Micah Owings or Carlos Zambrano.
so that's 5 techs for Kobe
Lakers/Nuggets getting physical
99
Another Loney pop-up.
And Denver retakes the lead
Time for the Beard to shine, if beards can shine
Tomorrow's Casey Blake Bobblehead night!
That was some impressive stuff from the Dodgers.
How many T's for a suspension?
6 in the playoffs i believe.
I believe 7 gets you an automatic one game suspension
nm i think PC is right.
The NBA would never let Kobe get that 7th. He's too important to their ratings. Thats why the last one he got against Ron Artest was taken away. Plus, he didn't really deserve that one.
4 BB in 2 IP is too much. Get your groove on, Bills!
Furcal works for the USPS: Air Mail!
Hard pick by the Birdman.
Raffy is the shortstop with most errors in the NL.
I'm telling you, Furcal must be injured.
this is frustrating, especially having to watch the Mets broadcast. Gary and Ron are really good, but it's hard when they are talking bad about your team
I'm beginning to wonder if Chad is injured too.
Wright RBI but Loney makes the good cutoff to get him in a rundown. 3-1 Mets.
Share your sentiment, Fred's Brim
at the very least he's a little rubberarmed after his pile of pitches against Philly. he was due for a dud, but I hope it doesn't wreck him for a few weeks
i have no idea what this ump is looking at. I think he has the Laker game on the radio
Two walks. We gotta score at least one this inning.
wow Juanny was out
Rancho Ardiendo! More importantly, a hit for Furcal!
Rancho Ardiendo, no outs!
though Pierre was thiiiis close to be an out.
the laker game is looking alot like game 1 from the last series.
"This is not exactly a textbook game on how to pitch in the big leagues. For either side." —Vin
I just got a walk too. Maine's giving them away.
stay after him, O!
Ethier, this is your moment.
damn, ethier is up.
never thought id say that.
AND I MISSED JEWISH COMMUNITY NIGHT?!?!?!?!?! OYE VEY. Kiss my tuchas!
That pitch was Madduxian.
dammit Dre - time to figure it out. enough of this pouting
Damn you Jose Reyes
the last 14 innings are starting to feel like classic Dodgers hitting. Doldrums. somebody please tell me I am wrong and we are better than that
i dont know who is worse right now, lakers or dodgers
Rancho Ardiendo, no outs, zero scored runs.
You just improve from here.
Jackie Johnson!
Lakers down by 4, time's running out.
Vin really knows how to sell the term "O Dog"
Laker fans, have confidence that George Karl will eff this series up somehow
what happened to the lakers, to just deflate in the playoffs after such a great regular season.
BABY DELINO HIT THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON. SO MY POSTS WILL BE ANGRY UNTIL HE TAKES IT OFF.
and now it's back to normal.
Lakers need a stop.
Lakers by 1!
awwwwwwww, baby Delino.
With the Laker game, no posts from me until it's over
attaboy Casey - clear the pitcher!
Blake with the two-out single. At least that gets Chad out of the way.
go Casey!!!
Gasol just missed two FTs.
RBI double by Bills! just down by one!
Billups rains a 3! Nugs by 2.
i didnt think he was gonna make it around! nice work Chadwick!
Tie game, 35.5 left.
Wow, Chad helped himself! 3-2 Mets.
LAL 101, DEN 99, 30.5 left
nice inning, Bills. You will be rewarded with one more. and hopefully some more runs!
9-pitch inning by Bills. Nice.
the lakers game is giving me an anxiety attack, i need a paper bag.
Ariza with a HUGE steal!
Go Lakers! they also can do it!
wow big steal by Ariza
a steal on the in bounds!!!!!
Lakers 103, Nugs 99, 10.0 left
wow, just gotta guard the three now.
I hate Jose Reyes and his zest for life.
Careful there, Vin (describing Reyes and Hudson as having "shiny bright teeth").
and they dont, of course
Wow Billups huge 3 cuts it to one.
how'd he do that while stepping out of bounds
Lakers 105, Nugs 102, 3.2 left. Nugs at the line for two.
LAKERS WIN
what a win
Why can't Andre Ethier be consistent?
What I miss? An Ethier K, shocking.
LAKERS WIN! THEEEEE LAKERS WIN!
JR smith might be hurt.
"Why can't Andre Ethier be consistent?"
He is but a man, a solitary human being.
The Lakers are in the finals of the conference, right?
man Dre, you are not feeling good are you? Do you think it might help him to hit third for a day or two, maybe give Raffy a day off?
i miss chick
Ugly win for the Lakers. But a win is a win.
One pitch, one out.
Reyes is a Dandy?
What's Vin implyiong
One pitch, one out for Bills.
Who else stopped breathing for a second?
Maybe, FB. Maybe.
Vin is talking about me...
Single greatest at bat in Los Angeles Dodger's history per Vin.
Reyes prefers the company of men...
Homer: "Who doesn't?!"
He says you had "probably the single greatest at-bat in Los Angeles Dodger history."
Thank you Vin. No autographs please.
Nasty. Chad's settling down—ten-pitch inning there. Now let's get him the lead.
Stults scratched for tomorrow's game? Weaver vs Hernandez in the scrap heap matchup! Where's Fred, Lamont and Rollo?
at least Chad is coming around....
Come on Matt - we need a run!
There's Alex Cora!
Bills at 105 pitches.
We love ya, Ryan Church!
Beautiful
Hi Dodger fans - thought I'd check in now that the Lakers have secured an ugly W. Looks like Bills is settling down.
Ryan Church: Series MVP
