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!

I curse the name of Erik Karros.
EK, you're terrible!
Damn it..I knew he didn't go to bed!!
Nice job, EK. I obviously didn't mean to hit it twice... do I get penalized twice?
I shouldn't get penalized for third since J. Steve doubled.
If Holliday gets on, Kuo should be brought in. Ludwick has a big reverse platoon split.
@J. Steve "Nice job, EK. I obviously didn't mean to hit it twice... do I get penalized twice?"
The judges shall convene.
I'm hoping it's not Elbert and Dewitt like some reports were suggesting.
EK blows my Star Wars reference.
Not Sherrill
Clearly, J.Steve should not have to take two hits on that.....he's innocent of the crime!!
Charley just said stinkeroo. Come on buddy.
Crapola.
Wow, Manny saves a run!
Mr. LA Sports fan also was a victim of a mistake....
Manny's saving runs today. I guess that makes up for not scoring any.
Manny just made another brilliant play.
Bring Kuo in NOW.
Let the record show I was against having Tron pitch the 11th from the beginning.
Crosses fingers and toes...
KAAAAHHN
Damn it. Joe should look at the numbers just once in his life.
I'm saving the big, correctly spelled Khan for when we lose.
Can we get Sherrill now?
For the record, I totally agreed with MLASF.
Just bring out Loretta and end this stupid game.
This is my first time on the "Top Commenters" list! I guess that happens when you join a game thread.
Hong like a Chi Kuo.
Too bad HLACK isn't here.
600, anyone?
We'll
be
lucky
to
get
to
I'm hoping everyone starts playing better after this stupid trade deadline is over.
Yay Kuo!
See how Kuo is owning Rasmus? That is what he would have done to Ludwick.
Speed on Kuo's K pitch?
Mid-90's. Maybe topped out at 96
ETHIER SAVES THE TIE!
ANDRE!
ANDRE FRICKIN ETHIER WILL NOT BE TRADED
Gameday had 96.
Thanks, MLASF.
This game is taking years off my life.
Nice play Andre!!!
CLUTCH MODE.
Now let's see Andre crack a homer to put the Dodgers ahead for good.
Thanks, J. Steve.
Maybe I should try holding my breath because blacking out looks really good about now......
Top of the lineup coming up. Let's hope they can do something this time around.
Nobody wants to lose this game
Except for Elbert. Elbert probably hates us now.
i am so tired of this horseshit. lets win this thing already
Let's talk about EK because he's obviously not reading this thread right now.
Motte is in. Smoke thrower. That means Raffy and O-Dog are meat. Manny and Andre have to come through.
Orel you SOB!
Orel's no better than those cougers on RHNJ...not that I watch it.
Why are the Dodgers trading (maybe) Elbert when they are running S(c)h(m)i(d)t out there?
woah that was wierd - i clicked the Newer link and it said 601 of 463 and there was a post by Orel. I thought you had snuck ahead somehow to post 601. now it's in the normal position
sorry to yell at you Orel
What'd I do???
i tried it again and it said 601 again
Orel, you must have some smack about EK that you can share.... you know he is going to pop up for 500!!
And we just lost radio for 20 seconds. Sounds like Hudson made an out.
No prob, FB. Not even I am powerful enough to overcome Blogger's commenting system.
click the Newer link below - it says 601 - 474 of 474
Here's some dirt on EK: He likes to say he's going to sleep, but he doesn't actually sleep.
Orel, are you suggesting EK is a vampire?
Same with me, FB. I think it's just a placeholder for the 600-799 comments.
Wow, the stadium was silent.
Beautiful hit Manny.
Time to shift into Clutch Mode.
Did Insane Clown Posse kick Jason Motte out of the band?
Drats, I thought you were going to say that he sleeps in the closet while hanging upside down!!
C'mon Andre!
Suggesting, no. Implying, maybe.
You know, they could be calling Elbert up.
Could be.
I guess I mean... C'mon Casey!
That would explain why he keeps sucking the life out of me.
gotcha Orel - i thought you were yelling at EK from the future :)
MLBTR: "10:52pm: Dylan Hernandez at the L.A. Times talked to GM Ned Colletti, who says that the scratch of Elbert did not have to do with a trade. He didn't elaborate further. That could mean Elbert is getting called up instead."
Andre's rep gets around.
Remember, he doesn't always drink beer, but when he does, he prefers Dos Equis.
Motte looks like Brendan Donnelly.
Here we go....
How's it going, EK?
Could it be 500
Sax is going to have a ball tallying up this thread.
How about 500
500
KHHHHHAAAAAAAANNNNNNN
500
Monday just said Motte is balking.
DAMN IT.
Damn!
500
more minus points for me
Damn.
Everybody loses!
i hope we dont get Flat Breezy - he gets himself in a lot of trouble out there. somehow he gets out of that trouble, but i dont trust him
I don't regret sending Manny.
I'm glad I was watching the game instead of losing another chunk of points!
is this not the worse game of the season?
I don't know what I fear more. The Cards walking off here or the idea of Mota closing it out if the Dodgers finally do score one.
It's not just this game... this whole series has been gut-wrenching.
Maybe Elbert will be able to pitch in this game before it ends.
I'm surprised Brendan Ryan didn't hit a bases-empty grand slam there.
Hernandez elaborates that it could be to replace Leach.
One good thing to come out of this game. Kuo was dealing.
Double. Former Dodger Joe Thurston. Just the cherry on top of this DAMN GAME.
christ on a bike!! how many ways can this go wrong?! did manny aggravate his hammy on the play? did Vin have a heart attack watching the game at home? did i miss out on 500?
Dusto - James Loney does it again.
Holy shit he is out!!!!!!!!!!
Wait, wtf is going on here? He's out at first?
oh that was dope!!!!
Why did it take two appeals?
Credit James Loney with the assist!
This game will most likely go down in the anals of history as a game neither team should have won or lost.
Wow this game is crazy.
According to Steve Lyons, since time had been called, the Dodgers needed to put the ball back in play by getting it back to Mota before the appeal.
The worst thing is that Mota almost blew it by throwing a pitch.
BTW, of all the Dodger position players, Loney should be the one pitching emergency relief.
Let's take advantage! On to the 13th!
526!
I'm just glad we're not Card fans. Aside from other obvious reasons, it would be 11 on the Missouri/Illinios border.
Should of just mota in when it was the 9th, Joe torre doesn't know anything.
The last time we had this many comments in a Game Thread, Michael Jackson died.
(The two were unrelated events.)
By the way, Gameday has the play listed as "Joe Thurston grounds out, pitcher Guillermo Mota to first baseman James Loney."
Nic, c'mon, Joe Torre drives me nuts too, but are you seriously saying Mota should've closed the game instead of the Ox?
the obvious reason being that they live anywhere near the state of Missouri?
The weather mostly. They have crappy summers.
@J. Steve "By the way, Gameday has the play listed as 'Joe Thurston grounds out, pitcher Guillermo Mota to first baseman James Loney.' "
That would be somewhat inaccurate.
I think we lost Erin #2.
Orel - well, Jacko is still dead.
That sounded a lot harder hit than it was.
600 points, people! You can make up a lot of ground with one post!
I guess sarcasm doesn't show up very well when i am too lazy to use italics.
When was the last time we hit a home run?
13th inning! What is going on here?
They broadcasters mentioned it would go down as a putout 1-2. I don't really understand why.
The Dodgers are sponsoring 100SS.
No, erin was putting children to bed.
Russ has been robbed by the Cardinal defense and by the umps tonight.
@J. Steve "They broadcasters mentioned it would go down as a putout 1-2. I don't really understand why."
Think of it as if he were running really slowly to first.
So what did I miss, guys?
Erin, you don't let the kids watch late-night Dodger games?
Russell Martin: 0-for-6 with 2Ks
...and 6 LOB
Just read the entire thread, Sax. It'll tell you everything you need to know.
Matt Kemp now takes professional at bats.
Still waiting for it to go foul.
Bison with the power dribbler!
I wanna get into a shouting match with Mychal Thompson so bad tomorrow.
Alright JP it's time for your one HR.
Sax, it's been a pretty uneventful game... just another boring, low-scoring day in St. Louis.
Is JP the opposite of Kemp, only they both have speed?
Well thanks for nothing JP.
Kemp 1B and a great at bat
Now all we gotta do is have him steal three bases
Wow. Just wow. Perhaps Chad Billingsley will pinch hit before tonight is over?
Or, watch JP make an out on the first pitch as a PH
Uh oh. JP backlash has begun.
Last home run was Russell's on Sunday.
Hey everybody!
We can make it to 600
How many innings the last time we had a large thread like this?
Josh S. shows up just in time for #600!
Shaggy sighting.
Well, I guess Weaver's not starting on Friday.
Definitely 13 innings back against the Rox
The posts keep coming fast and furiously.
Fastly and furiously?
This was an excruciating game to follow on my cell phone in Lamaze class.
How about this for a dodger home run moment......
Scully said. After two strikes, Gibson hit a ball on the ground, limped about 50 feet toward first base before the ball bounced foul,
“ ...and it had to be an effort to run that far. It's one thing to favor one leg, but you can't favor two. ”
Finally, on a 3-balls, 2-strikes pitch from relief pitcher Dennis Eckersley, Gibson hit a dramatic walk-off home run. Scully nearly screamed,
“ High fly ball into right field, she i-i-i-is... gone! ”
@Karina "How many innings the last time we had a large thread like this?"
13 innings, June 29
This game is just begging for a pujols walk off
Well, perhaps Jeff Weaver will channel the October 2006 version of himself.
I worry that he won't have enough to back up Schmidt.
I have a bad feeling about this inning
about 20 to go....
If the Cards don't make the playoffs, they will look at all their trades in utter disdain. And I will smite them.
That was close.
EK should be showing up soon....
@ Josh S. "This was an excruciating game to follow on my cell phone in Lamaze class."
There's a joke in there somewhere. But I'll just say congrats!
@Erin #2: Now that's a moment!
Sax with another Stars Wars ref.
Heart froze there.
Weaver didn't pitch for the Dodgers in 2006. The Angels did.
It was a positive memory, unlike this game so far....
@"There's a joke in there somewhere. But I'll just say congrats!"
I should say so. Not many men giving birth these days.
Almost there. . .
Pujols actually looked bad.
Got him!
Will we get there.....
600
WOW, I was not expecting Weaver to K Pujols.
600!
600.
600
600
HOLY SHIT. Weaver K'd Pujols with the crossfire slurve.
Man Russ set up almost in the on deck circle.
DAMNIT
oops.
rbnlaw, out of nowhere!
KKKKKKHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN
Weaver should get the 600 points.
MLASF wins it!
