DODGERS' RECORD WITHOUT MANNY: 26-17
Chad Billingsley (9-3, 2.83) vs. Clayton Richard (2-1, 4.03).
COMMENTS: New pitcher alert! This is Richard's first game against the Dodgers — which of course gives him the advantage. But the second-year pitcher struggled in his last start, against the Reds, lasting only three innings. Hopefully the Dodgers can treat Richard a little more Dankfully and avoid the Floyd treatment.
In the other dugout, Billingsley has to contend with not only a White Sox team that caught the home run bug last night, but also a Dodgers team that is looking for him to protect their series winning streak against AL teams. And he'll have to do it sans Loney. Momentum is not on Chadley's side; can he be the stopper the Dodgers need?
Now, who else is thirsty?

Nice move there Sax!
OK FB, when you check in again we'll have won 7-5.
(Just thought I'd get ya back.)
Another cheapie, Sax.
Speaking of summer blockbusters (circa 1982), here comes TRON
I wouldn't call Tron a blockbuster. It's more of a cult-classic.
Dig those glowing suits
It'll be a summer blockbuster again, probably next year, Sax. They're currently remaking the thing.
Stranding Loretta at second in the sixth is haunting us.
Yeah, I agree--$33M gross was pretty pathetic, even back then when adjusted for inflation and chintzy special effects.
I didn't watch Transformers, as much as i loved the cartoons growing up. Obviously, not watching Transformers 2. To me, there's a one and only blockbuster: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
I remember when the Disneyland Peoplemover had a room where it looked like you were on the lightcycle grid
Runner at 2nd, one out.
Come on! Throw a strike!
Unintentional IBB here.
These balls are missing the strike zone by like 100 feet. Are we IBBing Wise? Is it Wise to IBB here?
Sets up the DP.
It has to be intentional. Those weren't even close.
Uh, it's strategy! Yeah!
Tron, you're aiming for that little white rectangle thing that's levitating in front of the batter.
I'm waiting on James Cameron's Avatar.
Maybe Tron can't see the white rectangle thingy
With runner at first, it's more likely to get a double play.
PC, do you think James Cameron's Avatar is also Keith Hernandez?
Sax, I miss the People Mover. It's supposedly coming back in some form in the future.
Six straight balls.
Tron is making me nervous.
We're not getting a double play if Ramon can't find the white box
Uncross your eyes, Tron!
Sax - Maybe. We haven't seen Keith in a while.
2-2 count.
Josh, the problem with the peoplemover was that the queues outside moved faster than the ride.
And then they tried Rocket Rods, and the track started collapsing under the cars' weight.
Winning run is 90 feet away now. No room for error.
Any of you guys read about the debacle that is the revised Phantasmic?
Pot-said-nic flies out. That moves Getz to third, but there are now two away.
Bison overhand grab! 1st & 3rd, 2 out.
The broken giant dragon? Yeah.
I'm not getting a lick of work done.
Tron starts by pushing Ramirez off the plate.
two more strikes, Tron.
Now it's one more strike.
DAMN YOU, STEINER!
2-1 count, people.
KTLA is apparently reporting that Michael Jackson has had a heart attack.
But I refuse to change the channel to confirm this.
How has the GT turned into CNN Headlines?
SD 0, SEA 4, bot 2
Injury delay?
It's a big news day, MLASF!
BREAKING NEWS: I am nervous.
extra innings
We need to share information we come across so we don't have to leave this page.
And we're out of the inning. Barely.
That was close.
DAMN YOU AGAIN, STEINER!
In case you're still wondering about Fantasmic, the heavily-hyped dragon apparently doesn't work.
Last night, we had a semi Angels game thread, so i guess variety is part of the routine.
The KTLA news was reported on CNN.com, but the only breaking news I found when turning to KTLA was that the boyfriend is not, in fact, the baby's daddy. Thanks Maury!
Josh S, thanks for filling in the dragon while I searched around for an article. My article isn't even all that good...
hey, who was the injury delay for, anyway?
Charley Steiner? He pop a vocal cord calling an infield can of corn?
The dragon thing reminds me of when I worked at Universal Studios the summer Jurassic Park: The Ride opened. The T-Rex (and a lot of other dinos) almost never worked.
Ramirez fouled a ball off his leg.
Okay, I gotta eat, the hotel restaurant is about to close.
Channel the love toward the boys in blue, SoSGers!
And thank you for a healthy GT this afternoon!
MVP: Alexei Ramirez
Wow. Ramirez is giving us some gifts today.
Beard with an infield single.
BEEEEAAARD!
Hey Orel, you want to tell Josh S your Jurassic Park the Ride story?
Why is Kemp showing bunt?
Orel, were you one of the fine folks who got oil sprayed on them?
Kemp SHOULD NOT bunt. Why does Torre insist on this crap?
Alright Bison. Time to go Juan for five.
"Hey Orel, you want to tell Josh S your Jurassic Park the Ride story?"
You mean Mrs. Orel's story? Telling it in print won't do it justice.
Beard steals second!
Wow nice steal for the Beard!
Wow. I was thinking, Just stay put, Casey. But he steals another base!
Yeah. Stolen beard!
Wow. Blake stole off Pier-zinsky (I don't want to look up the spelling) again! Ha!
Oh Kemp. Not a good AB.
Wasted AB by Kemp there.
Damn, not a good day for Kemp.
Not such a nice AB for the Bison
Buen provecho Sax!
Love the Beard.
Not a good day for The Bison. He's feeling buffa-low.
Steal third, Casey!
Ouch, Josh.
Jenks and Pierzynski must share the same hairstylist.
Ugh.
Damn, Loretta goes down too.
Who's gonna get #500?
We can't even make contact.
Jeez, our guys are able to have picnics out at 2nd today.
Ethier will hit a double here.
500
500
Oh, son of a bitch.
They're walking a lefty, but Torre has Loney, so they're just going to face another lefty.
You got me again, Sax.
Nothing cheap about that one, Orel. No whining from you this time.
Okay, NOW I'm really going to eat dinner.
THAT'S how you do it, Sax! Make us think you're out to dinner and BAM!
Michael jackson had a heart attack!!
Ausmus, they are mocking you.
MAKE THEM PAY
I think this is the first time a game thread hits 500 and beyond. Congrats, Sax!
Loney is PHing.
Jackson was apparently not breathing when paramedics arrived, FYI.
Okay, back to the game. 1st & 2nd, two out, Loney up.
FJL sighting!!!
Nic, I reported that breaking news earlier. Stay with us!
See, tangents are good for GT health!
Does Loney now become the DH, since Martin probably has to catch?
Damn. Jenks is good.
Damn, Loney can't come through.
Nertz.
If Loney walks, Furcal is up...
King James, you know you are soooo Big Game, right?
dammit James!
I'm late for the bad news :(
Not a headline one wants to see: "Lake bacteria eating boy alive after swim."
No one picked up on the Virgin America "Day in the Cloud" game that I played yesterday. Here's one of the questions (from what I can recall):
The singer of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is on the left. The famous hockey player from the Kings and Oilers is on the right. Who is in the middle?
Seriously, i have to eat. I haven't had anything since breakfast, but i feel they'll lose if i go.
Answer after dinner, if you guys can't get it.
John Wayne!
"No one picked up on the Virgin America 'Day in the Cloud' game that I played yesterday."
What are you talking about? Where did you mention it?
Beat me to it, Josh.
Lil' Wayne!
Orel, if you watch that video, you learn disturbing details of which parts of that boy are being eaten. No pictures, thankfully.
Looked like another unintentional IBB.
Mr. Sax,
I heard about it, but I didn't have time to play it.
No more bench players, but at least with the DH you don't need a PH for a pitcher.
"Orel, if you watch that video, you learn disturbing details of which parts of that boy are being eaten. No pictures, thankfully."
No thanks. Sounds horrible.
Why would you go swimming in Lake Bacteria anyway? The name alone is a turn-off.
It must be so hard to be a parent.
"Can I go swim in the lake?"
"Yes. Wait — NO!"
Double Play!
Good Christ, how slow is Konerko?
How slow is Konerko? O-Dog jumped twice and still got him. Gotta love the 5-4-3 DP!
Double-clutch double play!!
I'm hearing a helicopter heading my direction. CNN tells me Jackson is at Cedars Sinai, so that explains it.
Nobody left on the bench.
Time to win this game.
Can we get to Six Hundred today?
This is a game you wish you had a long-reliever available.
Furcal doesn't look good at the plate. I just don't like it.
Oh, that was Ball 4, Raffy.
And then there's Juan Pierre.
Good 'ole Juanie, doesn't want to waste any time.
Whaaaa? Steiner said the inning was over after the first out.
Now that was a bad AB for Martin.
OK, now it's over.
Hey, great inning, guys.
Both catchers are named AJ, but ours isn't a douchebag.
"Whaaaa? Steiner said the inning was over after the first out."
I heard him say that. He wasn't too far off.
Weaver's in now.
Jeff Weaver. Here's your long reliever.
I beweave in Weaver!
I bet you Sax is lurking to get #600.
Weaver looks good.
The king of pop is dead.
That sucks
Wow, really?
Whoa, he's dead?
He died?
That does suck.
Does this mean he won't be doing that tour?
You heard it hear first.
CNN isn't confirming anything. Neither is MSNBC. Who said he died?
TMZ is reporting it; CNN is not.
Good job, Weaver.
He'll still do the tour. It'll be a "Weekend at Bernies" thing.
TMZ confirmed it, so grain of salt and all that...
Jeff Weaver is not reporting it. Just so we're clear.
Well, TMZ is probably more accurate.
Come on guys! Let's win this and go home.
Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson, forever linked.
Maybe it means his kids will finally take off those damn masks.
Good, Weaver.
So it comes in threes for reals. McMahon, Fawcett, Jackson.
WIN IT FOR MICHAEL
Don't ask, Dotel.
Ha! Good one, Orel.
Mike isn't dead.
I'm shocked I know a heart attack is a serious thing but I thought he could "beat it".
Too soon? Sorry it was to easy.
There is a Lyons on the White Sox's outfield mural. I'm assuming it isn't Steve.
No, Nic, it's okay. That joke wasn't too "Bad."
The former pitcher Mike Jackson is still alive?
We need to get Dotel out of this game.
A REALLY bad day for Kemp.
Jimmy! It's on!
This game will never end, will it?
At least it's a day game.
Kemp is wearing the collar today.
Erin you stole my next joke. You smooth criminal.
Dodgers: no hits since 7th inning
White Sox: no singles
Major news sources are unchanged on their stances on Michael Jackson.
heard it on the radio, so don't yell at me...
The reports of Michael dying via heart attack are not correct. He actually died of food poisoning. Ate too many 10 year old weenies.
600?
Screw it, I'm not going for it.
Yeah, no one is willing to credit TMZ as a source, but you know that site is shady enough to have nurses and doctors paid off who are probably getting pictures of the body as we speak.
Not quite with authority, Brandon!
Everyone's refusing to be scooped by TMZ.
See you in hell, Brandon!
1000!
That was a cheap one, Brandon. We frown upon those (the hundred grab, not the joke).
605!
Now you're just losing points, Brandon.
Someone better drive down to Cedar's and check.
