Clayton Kershaw (8-5, 2.96) vs. Joel Pineiro (9-9, 2.95).
COMMENTS: In their past five starts, the Dodgers have a 1-4 record, have been outscored 33-14 — and outhit their opponents 52-50. (They also stranded a total of 44 men on base.) The main culprits for this mini losing streak have been poor situational hitting and an ineffective bullpen.
Dodger players have the additional pressure of knowing other NL teams are improving...with more deals on the way. Dodger fans have the additional pressure of knowing Vin Scully's wonderful ride has an end date. But at least Mark Loretta pitched last night. How cool was that?
P.S.: Don't forget 100SS rules still apply!

200
Let this be 100
HA HA HA
haha orel thanks for bailing me out
DAGNABIT
MLASF with the trash-talkin' claim!
If Martin pulls the ball into a dp I'm gonna lose it.
It's always nice to start with negative points.
VICTORY IS MINE!
...but not Martin's
Hee Hee.....I put 100 instead of 200....no minus points for me!!
How's that work for you, Nic?
I think we can get to 300.
Only a K. One more shot.
We still want insurance! Go Kemp!!!
Kemp needs to show all those idiots who call up ESPN that he's a good player.
What's our closer doing in the on-deck circle?
MLSF i feel ya, but regardless of what they say, he is legit
I was listening to those crazy people talk about kemp all day. Why would we trade the only 5 tool player we have?
Kemp matures a little more every day.
As Mychal Thompson says, so we can win now.
Can manny pinch hit here? No? Ok just checking.
Do you think Torre will keep Loretta in to pitch the ninth?
Just a dunker here, Loretta.
That balloons our LOB
It's that kinda thinking that has made my lifetime as a dodger fan miserable.
3 more lob.
No wiggle room.
Broxton facing the heart of the order.
We really need a better pinch hitting option that Loretta.
Oh lord.
I'm tired of seeing Brendan Ryan.
Strap yourselves in. This is gonna be a bumpy ride.
Just got back in...good to see 1-0 lead still preserved, unless GameDay is teasing me again.
Nic J - seriously, Mark Loretta is the pich hitting option. Thats preety sad.
I can't watch. My heart can't take this. I'm gonna go get the mail.
I don't know if I can watch either.
This is probably the best pitcher-hitter matchup in baseball possible.
Steee-rike one!
I'm afraid Albert Pujols is going to come through my television screen and have his way with me.
I'm just going to sit here and pray!
FOOKY!
Furcal made a great play!
Orel - HD TV does that to you.
Speed on that first pitch to Holliday?
Gets ahead 0-2
@MLASF: Pathetically, I'm still in SD.
STRIIIKE THREE!
I've tried holding my breath but then I get really dizzy and it doesn't make me feel good!
NICE! TV radar says 94 mph on that out pitch.
Orel - you have earned my pity.
@Erin #2: Yeah, don't do that. I don't know what SoSG would do without two Erins!
Thanks, MLASF. It's my own damn fault.
Not a bad pitch, I don't think. Ludwick singles.
As long as there is only one of you Orel, then we are all good!
@Orel: Gameday said the three pitches to Holliday were 100, 100, and 99.
Uh-oh
oh shit.
WP advances the runner. Broxton working his two-out magic.
Thanks, J. Steve.
Nice comeback, Erin!
Unintentional IBB here?
Just get that final out Already.
Come on already!!
After a 3-0 count, Brox works it back full....
Blow this fool away Brox!
Meanwhile, Manny's digging for gold.
heart = broken
Of course.
In playm run(s).
Please be a mistake.
That sucks.
We may get to 300 afterall
I guess we're getting to 300.
I'm just glad my laptop isn't broken right now.
Damn.
Ox broke him off and Rasmus blooped it.
Minotaur deserved this one.
This ain't over. Fat ass needs to get this last out.
Brox can't lose focus. He needs to get this out
Extras!
Damn you Brox.
Yes! Nice throw Russell!
That CS still does nothing lower my rage.
I feel so bad for Kershaw.
Free baseball! And here I thought I'd be done watching baseball by 8.
Martin's K looms large now. We really needed insurance
That's it, I'm going to sleep.
Russ just showed Yadier how its done.
Leaving the bases loaded in the eighth really coming back to haunt now.
G'night everyone, hope to see a win tomorrow morning
New game...oh boy...
Eric says he leaving but he wants 300
I hate the Cards
Later folks, I'm not checking into this thread anymore. Off to bed for me...
But I also want 300
I've already shut down my computer
But what about 300
300!
300
300
DAMMIT, for old time's sake
J. Steve with the steal!
Colby Rasmus hates us all.
Colby Rasmus is Jim Eisenreich with talent
So I just lost another billion points and I'm negative even more.....WAAAAAAAAAA!!
Dammit! I swear I nailed 300 but got some 'conflicting access' message! Arghh!!
Eric, that was pitiful!
C'mon Manny, be our Rasmus!
J Steve, I guess you're tied with me now.
Hopefully Manny can do something...
"Dammit! I swear I nailed 300 but got some 'conflicting access' message! Arghh!!"
Apparently you didn't pay your SoSG dues this month.
Yes, Erin #2, I am ashamed.
I gotta build up my points with these 'early' games cuz the field will catch up during the 7PM PT starts.
Ok, I'm really going to bed now. Good night.
Coby Rasmus delende est.
I lost some points earlier by claiming 201. You should still be ahead...
I just lost some points there.
Night, EK!
Manny walks. All we need is for him to steal second. And third. And home.
@Orel: heart=broken
Game isn't over yet.
Karina, you forget we are cynical.
We'll pull this one out. I can feel it.
Worst part is Pujols hasn't done his usual damage.
Cynicism tires me.
@Fanerman: Imperio would work here.
For me, cynicism is a bodily function, like stupidity for Joe Morgan.
That's good, Fanerman. Leave the bitching to us.
@Mr LASF: "Karina, you forget we are cynical."
I don't, i just fight against your cynicism.
@Fanerman: that's how my fellow Dodgers/Harry Potter fan rolls!
TRON!
Think we can make it to 400?
A lead off walk. Nice.
Troncoso walks noted offensive threat Yadier Molina.
400? That may require some trivia or Dodger history revisited!!
Hmmmmmm, in a couple of innings.
Or someone posts a late game thread.
I think this thread can grow some legs.
This game makes me angry.
In 1988, the World Series Championship was transformed into a "California Classic" as the Los Angeles Dodgers went up against the neighboring Oakland Athletics. Los Angeles had benefited from the amazing arm of Orel Hershiser who had ended the regular season with a record-breaking fifty-nine consecutive scoreless innings as well as one win and saves saves in the National League Championship Series.
Another nice pick by Loney.
C'mon Tron, do what Broxton couldn't and get the third out.
Big Blake D!
To the 11th we go!
Erin #2 with a blast from the past!
Its the 11th inning stretch.....
1981 World Series....
"For First Baseman Garvey, a .417 hitter in this Series, the win represented, 'the end of a very sentimental journey. Our infield that has played together so long may not be together much longer. What better way to finish than with a world championship.' " - Sports Illustrated (November 9, 1981)
Beard-single
@MLASF
I didn't know what Colby Rasmus' middle name was until you mentioned it.
Woohoo! Way to go Beard! Now if only we could get some situational hitting...
Yes, I believe it's Dutch.
Erin #2, you're putting us in a sentimental mood.
350!
Gotta count for something?
On 351? Minus points, perhaps?
Maybe if it actually was 350.
Nice! Men on 1st & 3rd w/no out!
Loney-single! 1st and 3rd, nobody out, there's no way they can blow this.
I'm not getting excited until we
actually get a run in.
If their closer can blow it, I'll feel a lot better about our closer blowing it.
Blake looked tired after that run from 1st to 3rd.
That's not very cynical of you, MLASF.
Loney must know I want to trade him.
Sorry rbnlaw, Loney's been doing it for Dusto the entire time.
OK, nevermind, they can blow it.
Friggin' Brendan Ryan again.
Thanks Russ.
The only thing that could have been worse would have been a comebacker.
Brutal. We are making contact all over the place.
We don't want anyone get excited too early......
Our next two batters are all about speed. That helps negate the DP.
SAFE!!
Casey safe BY A HAIR!
NOOO, don't let Tron bat, we need insurance, dammit!
Casey Blake is not a fast man. I think Larry Bowa beat him to home plate.
Nice hustle Beard.
Let's see Tron get a hit.
I want a Tron jack here.
Nothing is easy in St. Louis.
Did you really expect anything different from Tron at the plate?
Tron only has to face DeRosa, Pujols and Holliday.
That's not an enviable task.
Yeah, I had a bit of an argument with Dusto earlier about Loney. His July OPS is up close to .950 now.
Here's hoping Tron can kill worms with Albert, Holliday and Ludwick.
At least Rasmus isn't due up.
Elbert Scratched From Albuquerque Start
That means the Dodgers have Sherrill.
Curious to hear what's up with Elbert... is Halladay on the way?
You're probably right, but I'm still hoping for Halladay
NOTHING is easy in St. Louis.
Either they've made a trade or they've quickly given up on Schmidt
Fucking hell, I knew Tron shouldn't have pitched.
*Tapping my foot*
Come on guys.......
Nice.
Oh goodness. This is not a good situation.
Put Albert on.
I don't know if you can do that with Holliday on deck, but I guess that was their plan all along.
Let's see a nice DP.
I'm getting sick of the guys on TV talking about how long it's been since Albert's homered.
When Pujols swings and misses, that should count for an entire out.
Nice liner.
Blake's on fire!
Elbert is a bit of an overpayment for Sherrill, but not too bad.
BEARD MODE lives today.
almost there. . .
Any day now....
400, bitches!
400!?!
400!?!
400
almost there. . .
MLBTR: "10:28pm: Ed Price at AOL Fanhouse gets word that whatever is going on has nothing to do with a George Sherrill acquisition."
didn't do it
