Randy Wolf (4-3, 3.45) vs. Wandy Rodriguez (8-6, 2.96).
COMMENTS:
He's tanned and rested and it's understood
He can start his season a little later if he hits taters
And a double or two
And Chavez Ravine will be the quite the scene
The stadium will be psyched; how about you?
Welcome to Mannywood
Where Manny can be Manny and not be booed
Where if you just spend ninety-nine dollars you'll get a chance to holler
At Man-Ram in the field
And you get a T-shirt which is one of the features
Of this special deal
Welcome back, Mannywood
He would have been back sooner if he could
But as you know he did the crime so he did the time
And now he's feeling just fine
He hasn't got started, that's what the best part is
So welcome back, number ninety-nine
Hooray for Mannywood...
SoSG Delino DeShields is working the press box tonight, so stay tuned for updates!

That can't be MATT Kemp, can it? That guy only bats 8th.
Oh how I love the title here: "Game 89 Thread." It's been so long since we had Dodger baseball I forgot how it feels to suffer through the dog hours of 3:00pm through 6:30pm.
Not crazy about Andre in the two spot.
LF: How do you concentrate on driving when you have someone who is Hung like a chi kuo sitting next to you?
I don't mind Hudson down there while he gets his mojo back (as he seemed to be doing the last coupla games before the All Star break.
Going to the game!! Woohoo!
Taking the kids + 1. Not so woohoo.
Can't stop at the Shortstop on Sunset for my $2 PBR.
Bringing 3 tallboy Budweisers for motivation. Woohoo!
Delino, look for me in lower reserve above 1st base. I'll be the one with 4 kids in tow. . .all sportin' Dodger gear.
Oh, I am wearing my Juanpierrewood shirt, so I'll be easy to find.
It's blue.
Hey DB,
Don't forget O-Dog's rally extending single and his looong fly ball in the ASG. He's getting there quick.
"Not crazy about Andre in the two spot."
In the 4 games since being moved to the 2-spot, he's batting .300 with two HRs. Though, he does have something like 7 strikeouts and only 1 walk in that period.
Kemp in the fifth spot. That's progress.
eric collins is broadcasting for the World Cup of softball right now on ESPN.
: /
i heard that kemp made a fool of himself last night at the ESPY's. So if he looks a little sluggish tonight we know why.
Better there than at the ASG, I guess.
I guess next year, MADD will be the Dodgers' partner to get Kemp in the ASG instead of the Angels.
Josh S.: The seven strikeouts is what concerns me. It takes away from the running game.
Yes, the Delino is here amongst the more commonplace reporters. Look for postings soon.

I have lost respect for Erin Andrews
nicJ, where's your info from re: Kemp at the espy's?
my friend works at the ESPN studios in LA, and said he saw him stumbling out of the show pretty bad.
there are some other online "rumors" about some other stuff happening but he said he didnt see any of that.
With that being said, it was his day off so why the eff do i care?
Go Bison!
Matt Kemp: Likes His ESPYs Drunk, Dates Topless (SPORTSbyBROOKS)
Sorry, Matt.
For her sake i hope there is nobody at the stadium who saw this. im sure shes at the stadium tonight.
*i passed on the easy ball on chin joke*
Orel,
Nice pull for Matty. (pun entirely intended.)
*double entendre, that is. But who's keeping score...
Now, we are gossiping, he said he was going to take his mom to the ESPYs:
http://twitter.com/mattkemp27
I'm suspicious he confused mom with "mamacita"
Sorry, Matt.
Can we get back to the game?
Yes, mamacita!
Delino's first report has been filed.
Manny: "I'm back, Part Two! Remember: We always leave the last part for the best. So that's what we're going to do."
Larry Bowa just called Roy Halladay the best pitcher in baseball.
Bowa says right now, Weaver or Elbert for the fifth spot in the rotation.
EXCLUSIVE: Apparently there was already a run on Manny wigs today. You heard it here first.
I'd like to see Stults return to the rotation. So far, he's the only pitcher to have gone the distance (unlike Richard Jefferson - Zing!).
Mark and Brian throwing first pitch. I've been trained by Howard Stern to despise them.
Internet spotty - much to catch up on. First, food choice. In the media cafeteria, I had the tri tip, chinese chicken salad, and some greens. This is how the other half lives.
Manny's name got all of one boo.
Overheard in dining room: There's a FAN in left field (and reporters seem to use the word like they're lower creatures) who's REAL NAME IS ANAKIN SKYWALKER. Personally, I'd rather be named after Jek Porkins
Matt Kemp rocking out to AC/DC
Must of been a ghost.
Left field fans just erupted for Manny. The seats are easily three times as filled as right.
Wades on the DL again?
First pitch 7:11. 76 Degrees. Thank goodness they announced that.
The stadium looks empty. They do know Manny's back, right?
One up, one down.
Wade to DL. DeWitt back up.
[Read this quickly before DeWitt is sent back down and it's out of date!]
It's los Angeles. Give it a few innings.
Nicely done, O-Dog!
Poor DeWitt, at this time he should have clothes and gear in Los Angeles and Albuquerque.
How did he DO that?!
Still has a little of that allstar magic leftover.
Keep having to stop myself from showing emotion in the booth. Like a pod person.
UZR be damned!
"Keep having to stop myself from showing emotion in the booth. Like a pod person."
That explains a lot about so much.
News Break, courtesy of Dodgers PR. Friday Night to Feature the Music of the Beatles during Fireworks. I'm more of Monkees man myself, but should be a good time.
Ethier up - from what I could see, nicest guy in the dugout. ( Or the biggest phony.)
Here's Manny.
Manny up. Crowd erupts. Reporters smugly looking at fans and shaking their heads.
Manny almost got a haircut with that one.
Something tells me a Manny foul ball in this seat might kill me
All kinds of leftover All-Star magic, I guess.
$185?!?! The hell I will!
Venezuelan announcer on TV makes Plaschke look like a Manny worshipper.
Manny got robbed by Pence.
Nice stab by wolf.
Jeez - already three fielding gems.
Beautiful Furcal&Loney!
when did the dodger turn into the Harlem Globetrotters of defense?
Loney clocked him.
ESPN could use this game for all their web gems, but they won't because they hate the west coast.
Pence is only 6'4"? He looks about 7'. Must be the skinny legs.
That pitch made him look like a jive turkey.
wolf is a man on a mission tonight.
They're playing a MASH UP of Queen and AC/DC
Was it the beard (not The Beard) holding Randy back?
Just throwing out a name the Dodgers might want to consider since he will be a free-agent: Orlando Hernandez
They're hitting the ball well. Wandy's not getting easy outs.
J. Martin singled!
An out?!!? Kemp really didn't deserve an all star bid!
Damn Kazuo
Another web gem. Well, maybe not a gem. But one of those jewels that Joan River hawks.
this game is going to be shorter than the allstar game.
A commercial about Pablo Sandoval.
Damn you Matsui
Tonight feels Web Gemmy.
that was close
Pierre could have caught that.
That's one more hit than he got during his whole tenure with the Mets
Orlando Hernandez, risky due to age but it could work: he's an innings eater, not spectacular but good and efficient, it wouldn't cost prospects.
Humberto Humberto's up
Oh boy, Humberto Quintero...
Enough of this Matsui hooey.
Siddown, ya oatmeal-eatin' mutha!
Humberto Quintero is an extraordinary defensive catcher, if he could hit a little bit more, he might be a star. Former Aguilas del Zulia, was traded on early March and we're still mad at the organization.
Wandy sporting the .030 average. But like a sleeping bear, he's ready to strike...
kinda looked like he hurt himself with that swing.
Press Booth is a quiet place, entirely free of the homophobic and racist taunts I got to hear during one of my more recent visits to Dodgers stadium. (Given, that was a phillies game)
Damn, Bourn's got some speed. But even Barry Allen wouldn't have been safe that time.
On the Astros broadcast, they showed a split screen of Martin and Quintero swings, they are exactly the same, Martin's mechanics at the plate changed and for the worse.
Delino - Welcome to my world.
Broke another cardinal press booth rule - I clapped for Fernando.
100!
apparently we have a ghost man on third, according to kcal.
Ghost man? maybe they're talking about Anakin Skywalker.
Vin: "The Dodgers will get Roy Oswalt tomorrow night."
My heart skipped a beat before I understood what he meant.
Ever since 2005, the 'Stros think they can contend. It's not gonna happen.
"Broke another cardinal press booth rule - I clapped for Fernando."
Are you being forcibly removed by the Press Box Police?
Another Press Release: "Ogden Raptors to Retire Tommy Lasorda's number"
Wandy strikes out the side.
Wow, Jackie!
What's the temperature, Keppinger?
well so far this looks like a randy wolf pitched game, tie score.
Nasty curve by Wolf there.
Lance Berkman looks a little crazy.
A guy right above me just caught a foul ball - and I didn't even notice.
And the gems keep coming..
Nice catch by Ethier. Good jump.
Obviously tonight's theme will not be poor defense.
Another great defensive play by Ethier!
UZR be damned again.
Let's see a nice catch and a homer.
Here Comes the Man...
Finally, a non-spectacular defensive play.
Press Coffee is hotter, more dangerous than commoner coffee.
The Ump makes Frank Drebin's strike calling seem subtle.
Don't play angry, Manny.
Delino: Fifth inning. Free Dodger Dogs.
I think Manny just uttered a swear.
Add a quarter to the clubhouse swear jar, Manny.
COL 1, SD 1, bot 3
Beard works the walk.
Two on, one out!
Wandy is doing a Wolf imitation.
Kiss Cam set to David Lee Roth's "Just A Gigolo".. into a PROPOSAL! And she said....
YES! (though the guy looks a little thuggy)
Pray tell, where do I get these so-called free dodgers dogs ?
Son of a bitch
Wolf's face says it all.
Announcement: "That home run number one for Quintero. Came on the first pitch."
and theres a loss.
"Pray tell, where do I get these so-called free dodgers dogs ?"
Same place where you got the other food.
I can't believe Quintero homered off Wolf.
Hot Dog hunting. Wish me luck.
At least it didn't take a toll on the pitch count.
Success! I got my dog. (and Loney got a hit)
King James lead off single.
Two in a row!
2nd & 3rd, no out!
HOT-(O)DOG!
Perhaps a squeeze play?
Wolf knows how to miss a pitch like a champ.
That was an uproductive out.
RANCHO ARDIENDO
Bases juiced for Andre.
Keep it up, Andre!
There's ants on my desk. That's no way to treat a Son of Steve Garvey.
If there's an opposite of the word clutch, that was it.
I was hoping he would just strike out
Damn you, Andre!
Why are they saluting MArio Lopez on the big screen? I'm about to give up baseball forever.
This is going to be a long night.
Birds are circling the field. Kind of creepy.

Manny just looked foolish on that pitch
Manny swung like Randy.
Wolfs pitching gems always get wasted.
Wandy's approaching 100 pitches, maybe we can get to the bullpen.
Just going to say that Orel.
Beard-single.
Kemp's body language told us everything.
This just keeps getting more and more frustrating.
Dissapointing.
If they make Steiner do another live add for the "man groomer", I may need therapy.
Rockies sign Matt Herges.
Speaking of taint-free athletes... here's Miggy
Wolf is running out of gas.
RA for Astros.
Well, at least it won't be a 1-0 loss.
Another tough outing for Wolf.
Troncoso would be the better choice here. Are they holding him back to close?
Maybe, I read Brox still might not be available.
P.S.: Alireza, it's your turn in the Chain Fiction project.
Okay, triple play here.
2-0 Astros. Insurmountable.
And Mota couldn't have stuck out his glove...why?
Deflected ball could have allowed two runs to score.
Randy was pissed because he heard that all the free dodger dogs were gone.
Two outs for a run. 3-0 Astros.
That helps, I guess.
Wolf was PISSED. I can't blame him.
Meh
NOW it's insurmountable
Orel - Working on it. Been busy between work and my articles for Kensai.
BTW, this woman's voice is terrible.
There is still some game left to play. We got this.
I still think this song should only be played when the 1970s Flyers are on the ice.
No close-ups of the GBA singer? Not that she deserved any, but the Dodgers will be hearing from her agent.
BTW Alireza, congrats on (imminently) joining MoKM!
Time to attack the bullpen
Kurt Warner is pitching?
A number 7 hitter with 54 RBIs this point in the season. Man, the Dodgers really are like the Yankees of ten years ago.
New rally!
And it begins...
I get to see Clayton Kershaw pitch!
