DODGERS' RECORD WITHOUT MANNY: 20-14
Chad Billingsley (8-3, 2.73) vs. Derek Holland (1-3, 6.54).
COMMENTS: Conditions are ripe for this to be a very good day for Los Angeles sports fans. This afternoon the Dodgers will try to build on yesterday's interleague success, sending their ace Billingsley for the series win against the rookie Holland, who has bounced back and forth between the Rangers' bullpen and rotation.
This evening the Lakers will go for the whole NBA Finals enchilada in Orlando. (We'll have a separate Game Thread for that.) So pick up some Chipotle to go, fire up a six-pack, plant yourself in front of the television and/or computer and get ready to comment all day. Your teams need you!

While I fail to see the vid's relevance, I still like it. Especially for being at Dodger Sta-uh, I mean "Chavez Ravine".
I think the video has something to do with yesterday's ump's exaggerated strike calls. Am I right?
Ladies and gentlemen, BEAST MODE now officially has the 2nd best batting average in the National League and third best in the majors.
what a great movie
Oh wait, it's the song. Duh. I'll be in the corner.
Love the movie. Where's OJ?
Two things will make this a great day for us all:
1. A Dodger(s) win.
2. A golden sombrero for Douche Mode.
(if he's even in the line up today.)
Re, the video; Was that Tom Paciorek letting the pop up drop after the pat down?
Arte Moreno must have seen Naked Gun and used it as the rationale for adding the geographically challenged prefix to the name of his franchise.
There's a chance of trademark first inning runs.
Man what is up with bills. He hasn't been himself for a few weeks.
Listening to Steiner and monday at work. Ugh, already down 2-1.
I really have a problem with Andruw Jones.
And it appears Andruw has a problem with Mccourt.
Brad Ausmus is gunning for Martin's job...
Ladies and Gentlemen, Ausmus doubled and Pierre walked. No outs.
Boo, runners at the corners, two outs, no runs scored yet. Beard Mode, you're our only hope.
Hey, I leave and come back and Blake crushes it. Sweet.
Dodgers are now at 62% to win according to ESPN.
Help me Beard one - you're my only hope!
They're going to win this one.
123 for Bills.
So Karina are you trumping ESPN prediction with a 100% LAD to win?
Its at 67% right now BTW.
Wow! Loney steals a base?!?!? What the heck?!?!? wonder who is faster Loney or Karros in his prime.
Loney ain't Slowney.
Wow, Martin is really struggling.
Down with ESPN! for example, King James stole a base, so who's more accurate, ESPN or me?
Martin has been unsuccessful with a full beard, a goatee, and clean shaven.
That means it's mustache time!
I think its time to dump the model girlfriend.
Don't despair, it's Beast Mode time.
Josh S, i love your fashion police approach to Russell Martin's slump.
PC: no girlfriend dumping. She's not responsible for his slump.
Bills, we're up by two, why don't "accidentally" hit Jones?. Do it for your boss and fans, please?
BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Damn I hate you Andruw!
That's wrong in so many ways.
Can't believe this. Home runs in consecutive days, douche.
Bills should have heard me.
OK, now we HAVE to plunk him next at bat.
They should have plunked him yesterday, at the ribs, so he could rest today.
Web Gem
UGH. Please stop FTOG. I hate him.
Re, Douche Mode:
Andruw Jones delende est.
Forkal not impressive.
Oh no.
O-dog with the double. That's good.
He's hurting. That's bad.
Kinsler robs the beard.
Fanerman, FTOG? what does it mean?
Time for Dre to bust out. . .again.
. . .or just dribble out.
Ethier legging one out.
Bison Mode.
A single here could be enough, go Bison!
Newark, Ohio. The second largest Newark after Newark, NJ.
Newark trivia?
swinging at ball 4.
lay off the breaking ball.!
Andrus thought they were sleeping.
1-2-3 inning for Bills.
Seriously? I know I am late to the party, but Jones with another home run?!? Ugh. Bastard. Nail him.
Bills has to plunk Anduw. But I don't think Chad has it in him.
If i was Mr. McCourt , i'd give a bonus to the pitcher who nails Jones.
Ausmus HBP.
Furcal walks. Men at scoring position, 2 outs.
Action pitch coming.
O-Dogg took a big rip.
O-dog looks like he's swinging out of his shoes.
3 more lob.
Put a damn bat on the ball.
Frustrating.
CWS update:
N. Carolina and ASU tied at 1; top of the 9th.
Douche Mode bats third in this inning. Will we get the plunking we all want to see?
Seattle 1 -Colorado 7 in the 6th.
Rockies trying to win 10 in a row.
Colorado, like the Pods, winning streaks on a treadmill.
Plunk him, plunk him, plunk him.
Throw a fastball at his ribs Chad!!
Chad is serving today.
I'll take the out.
I've noticed they love brick in Texas. Lots of houses and offices with brick facade.
"I love lamp."
"Are you just saying that, Brick, or do you really love the lamp?"
"I love lamp."
Beard Mode with the 2-bagger
The Beard, a double down the line.
An insurance run or two would be nice.
FTOG is OUT!
I hear "Let's go Dodgers" in the park.
Agreed. Too many LOB for my taste. However, the Dodgers bullpen is performing brilliantly.
What a terrible AB for Andre.
Guardado is barely missing.
Thanks, Fanerman.
King James, as the RBI leader on this team, you should deliver.
Loney fouling every pitch
I vote for no more LOB!
Loney knocks in Blake.
Kemp, some more bad base running.
Matt Kemp needs to become a better baserunner.
Kemp would have scored on Martin's basehit.
Nice hit, nice running and Kemp sco..oh wait.
Leave in Everyday Eddie!
We just adopted a dust mop here at rbn central.
Some call it a dog.
Darren O'Day and the Knights.
Give Ausmus the job.
Beast Mode Time.
Let's pile on.
Kemp, another baserunning gaffe...
5-3 Dodgers. And kemp would have scored later had he not been nailed
Pretty good GBA from the sisters.
Chad Billingsley's pitch count -82
Hollywood Blvd traffic is brutal today.
Giants up6-1 over A's, COL won
100
10 in a row for the Rox.
What breed, Rbnlaw?
Shih-tzu. So far, it's quiet.
DP
4-6-3 DP
O-Dog runs down the pop-up for the 3rd out.
Time for the MBRCS dance.
When is Chad going to get the message that he needs to give Jones a rib shot?
Stiener was yelling that O dogg made a great catch, made it sound like he caught it behind his back. Did it look that good?
According to ptichtrak, the 2nd pitch was a called strike but really outside the strike zone, but the ball was in the strike zone, what the heck?
We gonna let Chad finish this up?
Chad goes into the 8th!
Alas, not today.
Good outting by Bills. I would love to see him pitch a complete game one of these days.
Tron.
Tron.
This was a great outing by Bills.
Ausmus nails Salty.
Too many letters for that catcher to steal a base. One out!
Take a seat, Saltymacaroni!
Tron with the beautiful curve!
Good inning for Tron.
I like our chances with a lead going into the 8th these days.
Tron ate a heaping bowl of awesome sauce in the offseason. I like it!
Ausmus gets Saltalamacchia!
Not a good day for dre.
Brox warming up
Off to a graduation party.
Switching to Steiner.
Steiner and Monday are cracking each other up here. And one of them laughs like scooby doo.
Time for the proud new father to come in and get a save.
Wuh-oh.
If Brox gets a DP here, do we finally get our plunking?
Gas this mofo, big man.
THAT'S the Andruw we know. Love it!
That's more like the Andruw Jones we know. Grab some pine, jerk.
Beautiful!!!
Brox shutting it down.
Thanks Texas! See yall! Go Blue!!!! (oh by bye andruw - we are a pretty good team without you, huh?)
Now it's Laker time.
The Ox just got a lot scarrier for the competition, because he seems to have now developed a curve to compliment the slider and heater.
I think Orel, the SoSG Webmeister, might have a Lakers GameThread up soon...
