DODGERS' RECORD WITHOUT MANNY: 18-11
Randy Wolf (3-1, 3.21) vs. Antonio "Inglourious" Bastardo (1-0, 1.50).
COMMENTS: SoSG reader Fernando strikes again! "I made this to commemorate 'Dre's back-to-back walk-offs, and to simultaneously give Andre more reasons to continue to turn down fan photos," Fernando writes. Dodger fans will be more than willing to put up with Andre's photophobia as long as he keeps producing.
And while Mr. Walkoff may no longer be welcome in the City of Brotherly Love, he's not the only hero of the weekend. Let's not forget the excellent pitching staff as well as the clutch defense (particularly that of James Loney, Orlando Hudson and Matt Kemp).
Today's game is the last regular-season meeting between the Dodgers and Phillies; with four wins and two losses, the Dodgers have assured themselves of a winning record against the defending World Series champs. Which is a good start.
More good news: The team has three off-days in the next two weeks. (Sharpen your pencils, PCSsters!) But with rest comes change: Look for a pitcher to be replaced by a position player on the roster.
Laker fans! Today is the only day a Laker Finals game and the Dodger game are starting at the same time. (You can thank ESPN.) But is it a blessing or a curse? Whichever you decide, be sure to keep us updated in this thread. Okay, Jayson?
UPDATE: Eric Stephen from True Blue LA is in the press box tonight.

King James delivers, runners at the corners, no outs. Go Blue!
Chan Ho (outta the) Park is up.
the magic are a little too close for my comfort
damn, that looked safe to me. he got a run though.
That call at first was safe...
Both Dodgers and Lakers getting bad calls.
Espn Deportes announcer: at bat "Fuki"
man, kobe with his 5th turnover
damn odom gets his 5th.
2 run difference again, solo HR by Ruiz.
i was just thinking to myself that the dodgers have kept a homerun hitting club in the park. nevermind.
2 run HR
the refs are killing the lakers tonight.
I hate you, Victorino.
Nicholson's getting Departed level angry.
C'mon Dodgers - keep it a save situation!
well, wolf fell apart rather quickly, that late inning comeback is getting less likely.
kobe is getting more aggressive. Pietrus fouled out.
Dodgers can't lose tonight. Dusto is at the game for the first time he remembers.
Maybe Dusto will see the greatest comeback of the season.
poor dusto, he has to deal with the smug phils fans like i did on thurs.
Well, Wolf is the king of ND's. That provides a glimmer of hope.
Still three innings for the Dodgers to come back. But I'm watching the Lakers right now.
You and all of Los Angeles, Orel.
damn, kobe went down hard.
that was a two, but damn.
I hate Turkuglu.
Hedo Hate You
Damn that head of turkey-glue.
Beast double!
WOWWWWW
lakers get last shot!!
lakers win or OT
Two on, two out. Guess who's up?
That was nerve-wracking.
come on ethier, park is touchable
Such quick hands from Gasol.
damn, OT
DeCongrats Delino, you reached #227 last night!
How did Kobe not get the shot off?
there were four guys on kobe
turkey blocked from behind
That sucked.
You're right, Nic.
And the Dodgers don't score in the seventh.
i guess lebron only gets those foul calls in the closing seconds.
My heart can't take this.
if orlando makes a bucket here ill kill myself
i think they are looking for the oop to howard
Another TO. This is when basketball gets really exciting.
Travis Schlichting sighting!
That was close..
wait what happened i missed it?
That was brutal.
Missed it by that much!
alright lakers gotta take this in OT
Howard just said welcome to the majors.
The announcers are really making sound like they want Orlando to win.
And a Dodger comeback becomes more unlikely. 7-2 Phillies.
im missing stuff on both ends.
the dodger game is officially over.
An ERA of 27 for Schlichting.
Furcal almost double-clutched into another error.
at least the lakers are containing howard.
now thats a home foul call!
Even with OT, the Lakers game could still end with no team scoring 100 points.
knock down those FT's pau.
and one
Lakers down one with 3:20 left.
I just realized how big that missed goaltending call is.
Ariza missed the three.
That wasn't the only iffy call.
BEAUTIFUL BY KOBE
smart play by fish.
A few blocks away, Chan Ho Park continues to roll.
whew, in and out.
we need a bucket here.
Yes!
ANNNNNNDDDDDDD OOOONNNNNEEEEEE PPPPPAAAAAAUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!
In-and-out heartbreak for Turkoglu!
KA-PAU!
Up six with 1:14 left!
now we just have to play some D for a minute.
I love seeing the sky-hook, and Chick Hearn's call only sweetens it.
thanks ESPN i really want to see philly celebrating the world series.
Well, we wanted Park. We got Park. And Park is shutting us down.
why doesnt anyone use the skyhook now, its undefendable.
Did Redick go to Duke?
is it park shutting us down? or the dodgers shutting themselves down?
Another bad call.
finally a foul call
That makes up for the blown call.
alright, now guard the three.
We knocked Park out of the game!
what did i just say.
Perfectly played by the Magic.
2? 3?
looks like a two to me.
we better get that call for the missed GT
4 is the magic number. As long as the Lakers maintain a lead of four, they're safe.
damn its a three
Turkoglu is a handsome young man.
damn, odom's gotta knock down some clutch shots
Schlichting K'd Victorino.
clutch
somebody get that man a snickers!
two clutch
LAKERS WIN
game over!
WE WANT TACOS!!!!
LAKERS WIN!
Pau, Mas Fuerte!!

Mota = A Fork.
As in... Put ______ in.
Mota retires Howard on one pitch!
mota does his job, he has been pretty good lately
Furcal singles to start the ninth. Here comes the rally!
rally time. we just need one of those grand slam with the game genie cheats

Loretta endures the double humiliation of striking out while throwing his bat.
