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!

Orel was right. One post and you're in the game.
I am so sad......
Good inning for Weaver.
I could have sworn EK was going to show up.
Shaggy with the nasty!
Weaver is magic under the arch.
I'm gonna burn up all the points I earned.
On to the 14th!
I must be a least -100 by now!
EK can kiss it.
Maybe the dodgers plan is to extend the game until all the cards fans leave. Then make their move when the cards are weakened by less fan support.
Rbnlaw gettin' cocky!
@Nic j: Unfortunately, that would also happen to their viewing audience.
Rbnlaw is strutting around the thread like Ric Flair
WOOOOO!!!
Leading lady on.
Raffy leadoff!
C'mon O-Dog, extend the magic!
Raffy keeps hope alive.
I am the Nature Boy. Have you heard?
Woooooooooooooooooooooooo
That
was
a
bad
bunt
700 points, people. The lead can be yours.
MLASF shooting for 700.
EK's silence is deafening.
Good O-Dog bunt.
You know, playing for one run really hasn't helped so far....
I will say that other than Torre not bringing in Kuo to face Ludwick, this may be the best game he has managed for the Dodgers.
Good night, all! Go Blue!!!
IBB Manny. Make 'em pay, Andre!
Another competitor has been removed...
I thought I heard a smattering of cheers for O-Dog's bunt. After all, the St. Looie fans love a good baseball play.
The booing is getting old, especially since Manny hasn't been much of a threat.
No, don't goooooooooo
Maybe it's the boos that are hindering him.
Rbn, I always knew you were a limousine ridin', jet flyin', kiss stealin', wheelin' dealin', son of a gun!
100SS favors the insomniacs.
Time for CLUTCH MODE (again, its the 14th for crying out loud)
Whoever can get 700 is set up for life. They just have to block other.
*others
I've been doing a lot of booing here and its helped.....
"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."
@mlbtraderumors.
See, I told you.
So mutch for Clutch-Mode
Wow, Andre looked foolish there.
Nice at-bat, Dre.
Nic,
You should see me in the ring.
Dodgers are trading Elbert for Lincecum.
Comic Book Man is dealing.
C'mon Beard!
Hawksworth? Is this guy out of a Harry Potter book?
Time to do the wave..
up down up down...
I have to give the STL fans some credit, though. They're legit into the game and cheering every strike.
@Orel:
Wahahahahahaha!
That would mean Timmah has no arm left ala Shmitty.
Either Harry Potter or Dawson's Creek with Wizards. They're both the same.
666
Orel - I also heard Josh Bell for Albert Pujols :-p
Toss a beach ball around, Erin!
At least take the bat off your shoulders, Beard.
What's a Hawksworth?
Quite a bit, apparently.
Orel, The Dark Prince?
Who knew?
What's a Tim Conway?
About a 180 lbs.
@Ali: Albert can just jump on the plane with us!
Weaver's probably good for three innings.
Shaggy has to go the distance in this now.
I needed to stretch.....it was my 14th inning stretch.
I heard Clayton Kershaw may have started this game. Heard he might have pitched decently too.
What's a Grecian ern?
about $7.75/hr.
Kershaw so deserved a win.
*urn.
Almost there. . .
Tomorrow Kuroda should drill Rasmus in the back.
Like I said, a game neither team should have won or lost.
MLSF - Absolutely. Go Bob Gibson on him.
Getting closer
Proof there is no god:
@mlbtraderumors
Echoing Buster Olney's earlier reports, Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi at FOX Sports are saying that the Marlins are indeed the most aggressive of 10 to 15 teams looking to add Heath Bell. The Marlins have the prospects to get a deal done and "could easily absorb" the $400k left owed to Bell this season. However, the Padres are said to want the Marlins' top pitching prospects in Sean West and Andrew Miller if such a deal were to happen, a high price to pay.
Maybe we use Schmidt for long-relief?
Doot doot doot dooot
Charge....
One more beer and I'll miss 700.
well
C'mon, Weaver.
If this game was at Dodger Stadium, we'd be the only ones left in the stands.
Well, I'd be at my car where the beer is still being served.
Nice, Weaver!
15th inning here we come
Right back where we started from
Good for Shaggy.
*Pulls out Steve Garvey Magic Ball*
*Rubs the top*
Oh magic garvey will I get 700
Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you?
Try again 700
700
700
700
Can't type, guess not....
WOO HOO
Keerist.
Just missed.
Whoops. Got a snack and missed 700. Good thing, too. I don't want to go -140 on my first attempt.
I HIT PREVIEW INSTEAD OF PUBLISH
So that should make me -500
Only one thing to do: Go for 800!
689 posts? did we get hit by a virus?
I would have had it if I hit publish.
Well Orel, you are a winner!
That's what my mom tells me!
Really, we need to score some freakin' runs here.
Let's go to the 16th so I can get 800.
Ouch. I lose 70 points.
Such is the life of a high stakes playa like me.
They'll need Elbert just so there's a fresh arm in the 'pen.
Charley is loopy.
I don't like middle infielders with moustaches.
Guess I'll put my magical Steve Garvey crystal ball back in the closet for another day.......
Only Clay Zavada can have a mustache.
Yeah, pitching is our biggest problem. Sheesh.
Pujols should have headed toward second there.
Pujols = COWARD! :-)
Really? Really? Who else is calling a Juan Castro home run to win?
I guess the only way to augment this thread is to tell stories that don't go anywhere, like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones. You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in zeppelins, dropping coins on people, and one day I seen J.D. Rockefeller flying by. So I run out of the house with a big washtub and — hey! Where are you going? Anyway, about my washtub. I'd just used it that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as a walking-bird. We'd always have walking-bird on Thanksgiving, with all the trimmings: cranberries, Injun eyes, yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we'd all watch football, which in those days was called baseball. Eh, why didn't you get something useful, like storm windows, or a nice pipe organ? I'm thirsty! Ew, what smells like mustard? There sure are a lot of ugly people in your neighborhood. Oooh, look at that one. Ow, my glaucoma just got worse. The President is a Democrat! Hello? I can't unbuckle my seat belt. Hello? There are too many leaves in your walkway.
In my day, sauerkraut was called liberty cabbage, and a suitcase was called a Swedish lunchbox.
AAAAAGGGH! Nightmare fuel!
I was doing ok up until the part about the president being a democrat and then this sick feeling came over me.......
that child will now hate baseball forever
BRENDAN FUCKING RYAN.
Just let him score.
Ryan triple. Game over.
KHAN
Yep. I hate Brendan Ryan.
They must watch for the squeeze here.
Manny makes playing left field look so relaxing.
Now would be a good time for 3 straight Ks.
Swing and a miss. Good start.
This is what you would call a soulcrusher.
Gets ahead 1-2
Suddenly no one cares about getting 800
He is the back up catcher. You struck out Albert Pujols. Please get him Weaver.
My dog is growling at me. Not sure if it's due to the game, or the Poquito Mas I'm eating.
One down.
LA Rue-ful
I think the triple was a little 800 deflating.....
I think unintentional IBB here to set up the DP.
DeLno..did you feed your dog today?
Weaver does not seem enthused by the idea of pitching to Lugo.
Sharkie... I mean, DeDog DeShields... got her stomach friendly food today.
Lugo trying to pay his old team back.
Ahhhh.
Anyone know how well DeRosa has done with Weaver?
How about a hidden ball trick?
need
to
get 800.
Call it a quest.
So then it was the game that the dog was growling at.....
Rbnlaw, you'll need a lot of help.
Can't pull shaggy, can you?
This is starting to remind me of that xtras game against the white sox.
Take me out to the ball game.....
Random thought - The music the KABC plays to lead in and out is often really good.
Watch that balk mullet man.
Take me out with the crowd...
@MLASF:
I know you're with me.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks.........
RAFFY GOT HIM!
OUT AT HOME!
NNNNIIIIIICCCEEEE
Erased at the plate. Epic.
HAND RUSSELL THE GOLD GLOVE RIGHT NOW!
woot woot
Re: DeDog - Or maybe chicken is just a little more tempting than pellets of mysterious origin.
Now they'll have to deal with Albert.
Not a great throw by Furcal, either.
Weaver gets ahead 0-2
Yeah, I don't think he's falling for that sidearm pitch twice, Weaver.
No, its the game and not the chicken.....
Less than 39 hours till the trade deadline.
Close (re)play at the plate.
I wonder if any of the concessions are still open at Busch?
Also, to the umpire's get OT?
19 to go.
Now it's 2-2
Count goes full.
I don't know if the concessions are still open but there is beer in the fridge......help yourself!
PHEW
Not much of a fan for nonexistent beer.
@Erin#2:
On the way to the fridge.
You know, 800 points would really do a lot for me.....
So much for 800.
Whatever the result, Kershaw and Weaver are the heroes here.
Yeah, we all knew that was going to happen.
Shit.
KKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Just like Chicago.
Cancel that beer.
MLASF,
Ran out of room.
Exactly like the game against the sox.
800
800
That helps.
Yep Yep Yep.
Now I see why Pujols runs out of the way of base runners like a child.
Goodnight you princes and princesses of Southern Cali. You Kings (and Queens) of LA.
I missed that one......drats!
If you guys hurry, you can get to 900.
Thanks alot broxton.
So much for those 600 points.
More like 500 now.
Maybe less?
Actually, this princess is in SAC....... don't I wish I was in Southern Cally...
And just for the record, I checked the fridge and the beer does exist.....guiness, moosehead and coors light......
Between Brox and tron, we got screwed by our marquee bullpen guys.
As I said earlier, we'll get off the stick in Atlanta. Just have to take our lumps in saint louie.
I don't even like St. Louis style spare ribs.
Now that I'm -1000 points, I think I'll call it quits......
I just want to say that this lurker loves to read all of your opinions and comments.
Weird how this game had 2 reruns of plays from previous games this season.
I guess it's taking awhile to set up a PGT.
