Eric Stults (4-1, 3.82) vs. Jorge De La Rosa (0-4, 4.27).
COMMENTS: Yeah, losing a series to the Angels at home isn't a fun way to start the Memorial Day weekend. But look on the bright side: the Dodgers still have the best record in the majors at 30-15; we have a cavernous 7.5 game lead over the second-place Giants Padres (the NL Central, by comparison, separates first from worst by a total of only 7 games); and we have an otherworldly +70 run differential (the next-best team in the majors, Toronto, has +40).
The Dodgers finished up the homestand 4-2 (including a sweep of the Mets) and are 9-7 since Manny Ramirez' suspension. As we take our show on the road for the first of a seven-game swing, we hand the ball to Stults, he of jammed thumb; the Dodgers are 6-1 when he starts. Meanwhile, De La Rosa is coming off a pounding that Atlanta gave him Wednesday before he gave a water cooler the same treatment (check the 1:18 mark of the video). Let's set De La Rosa up for round 2 versus the Gatorade jug today, shall we?

Wow! The Beard with a double! 7 more runs!
i was really worried about 50 posts ago.
Two more innings like this and the Dodgers will have...QuadSevens!
What is going on with this hit parade???? 14-6 Dodgers
two 7-run innings for the good guys today
I like this.
Another run! 15-6 Dodgers!
whoops, only one 7-run inning today.
THAT'S BECAUSE WE NOW HAVE AN EIGHT-RUN INNING!
15 runs, 17 hits. Here's FJL, a perfect 3-for-3
Slugfest! go King James!
damn vin being a buzzkill again.
Another hit.
Loney 4-for-4
when did the rockies start playing AAA ball.
Nope, not a hit, an error on Barmes.
they ruled it an error. lame
Damn, another delayed call.
does this mean the lakers will be killed tonight?
15-6 as we go into God Bless America
If it has anything to do with the hotel, then it means the Lakers will kill Denver.
I think this might be a very lucky night for LA based teams.
lets hope, kobe looked like he needed to be carried off the court last game.
"Do you want whipped cream?"
--a not-so-funny Verizon commercial once you've seen it 427 times
what time is the Lakers' tip, Mr LA SF?
6
9 - 7 pad's bottom of the 10th
ohman, back to the doghouse for you.
9-run lead in the seventh; why not just let Ohman roll?
I leave grandma Neeebs' house up 7-6, come home up 15-6. Wow.
two walks and one k for Ohman... and here's Belly (sans backpack)
Yep, 6 o'clock.
Padres beat D-Backs in 10 innings 9-7
someone should tell the rockies that matt holliday left the team, they dont have to try to look like him anymore.
Yeah, this is miles better than Ohman. Good thinking.
karina, nic j: how is no line on the horizon? I haven't bought it yet.
pretty nice shot there to see the digits being replaced by hand on the rockies' out of town scoreboard (in the background)
i guess you can only go so far on a pasted together bullpen. get to work ned.
i havent heard it yet either sax, im really behind on my music.
hi everybody - just getting to the game now.
Liking the lead, not liking the red hats...
So, I go out to the neighborhood barbeque; eat some, drink some, and I come back to this?
Wow.
belli at bat.
i like Belly's slo-mo Sheffield stance
see belli thats what strikes look like, now throw those.
I'm in the minority, but I like the red hat look It matches the numbers.
I liked the blue hats they had last year. They worked with the uniforms.
Really, would it have been so hard to use some of these runs yesterday?
I mean the freakin Angels? I've been taking some crap from neighbors who are Angel fans. I shrug it off with my "it's worse to lose 2 games to the Giants" line.
Works like a charm.
how about blue hats with white LA and red top button?
clean it up, guys
that'll do
well last years were navy blue and i spent half the game trying to figure out why the hats were slightly darker than the uni's. My life was so hard before 1080p
Hey Neebs,
I took the kids to see the latest "Night at the Museum" movie. Guess who makes a cameo?
That's right; Clint Howard.
Nice DP.
nice! 3 more to go
I think I like Jamie Hoffman better than the X-man.
just tell the angels fan that beating the dodgers still wont get them out of the first round of the playoffs.
haha i just saw Clint Howard in a terrible movie called Senior Skip Day. Tara Reid is a featured actor so you can guess the quality of the film. But Clint plays an ex-con who buys the high school kids beer
Clint Howard=Genius.
Nic,
Ha!!
yeah dodgers at the laker game. represent!
Clint Howard is reputedly a very generous tipper.
and the hits just keep on coming!!
"We've reached the ninth inning..." - Vin
Mercifully. I thought we'd never hear that today.
Steve, No Line on the Horizon is a typical U2 album, however there are beautiful and reflective melodies and nostalgic lyrics, i like it but U2 is one of my favorite bands so i might be biased.
Adrian Gonzales hit #17 today. When will teams go to pitching around him again?
man, even dinger left.
Corpas is the "Pride of Panama?"
I thought that was Noriega?
i thought it was hats.
cmon Matty - make Corpas throw a few more picthes
Those Denver fans better get used to watching LA whoop their asses.
Bison RBI!
alright, mercy rule. Call the game and give out the snacks.
We're winning despite the hats.
Sorry, do not want.
Colo announcers saying Martin ran through a stop sign
16 runs, not one coming from a long-ball.
Nic, you're on fire.
Everyone get in the shade and grab a juicebox.
Rbn: I saw NatM yesterday and,lo and behold spotted old Balok himself.
love the tobias avatar
the weather's rolling into Coors
rbn, ha!
I guess the humidor is working just fine.
fitting that loney ends his offensive tear on a soft ground ball to first.
great game today james.
Neebs,
Was he there, or did you just see him in the movie? His part was pretty funny. Didn't he play a similar role in Apollo 13?
karina, thanks for the U2 record review. are there any breakout songs?
Is a 10-run lead safe with Mota?
think we can get to Cook tomorrow? he's a bit of a pain
OK G-Mo - think you can hold a 10-run lead?
mota hasnt looked terrible his last few outings, he saves the bad ones for close games.
Ugh.
i like mota in a red cap, i just wish it said nationals on it.
Mota + Coors Field = Disaster
11 freakin walks today? Glad I missed most of that.
. . .or a Big A.
My favorite songs are Magnificent, Moment of Surrender, Stand up Comedy (interesting bridge), White as Snow and Cedars of Lebanon, which incorporates some loops reminiscent of the Pop era.
very true, rbn
Get someone up in the pen.
I want to see those red hats but my intuition says i won't like them.
DP
around the horn,
5-4-3. whew.
Mota: back to back singles and hen ball in dirt. Is someone already warming up?
almost could have been a triple play!
300 soon.
The red hats are distracting more than anything
Fred,
The Beard didn't want to show off.
mota is paid all that money to protect 10 run leads.
10 in a row for the Pads? Am I having a nightmare?
RBNLAW - 10 game winning streak, but still 7.5 back
they will lose ten in a week or so, they have been streaky all year,
the red hats kinda make the team look like super mario.
Penos,
Funny isn't it. Like winning 10 in a row on a treadmill.
. . .and that'll do it.
hoffman needs a little work on his hip bump.
Lakers in 75 minutes
Rbn: No, on film. And yes he played that same role in Apollo.
OK, back out for a beer.
See everyone later on the PG thread.
My neighbor just got a video poker machine. I might not sleep tonight.
So true rbnlaw.
Its surprising that SD has won this many games. I thought for sure they'd be the worst team in the NL.
i like it - i hope we still have some hits in the bats for Cook
Fredsa Brim - The Dodgers seem to use all their run up in one game.
I think this game si an example of how opportune contact hitting works the same way that long ball.
see you guys again for the lakers game.
Can we get a Lakers game thread...that'd be fun and I bet you at least a couple Dodgers will be there...so that qualifies right?
Andrew - Agreed. It would be fun.
Post-Game Thread is up. Working an a Lakers thread.
