Game 107 Thread: Aug 4 vs. Brewers, 7p

Hiroki Kuroda (3-5, 4.44) vs. Yovani Gallardo (10-7, 3.13).

COMMENTS: Gentlemen, start your engines! Today's race pits a reliable Japanese import against a flashy exotic supercar. The Japanese import recently spent two months in the shop and has needed a few tune-ups since getting back on the road, but its mechanics are improving. The flashy exotic supercar is coming off a winning race, although it was upset by a late-model American upstart before that.

Expected outcome:

(Today is Game 8 of 100SS. The finish line is in sight!)

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Nailed it.

Steve Sax said...

Mr LA SF, what's with the new avatar?

Even Russell Martin can get a hit tonight. 12-3 Dodgers.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The only body that rivals Jackie Johnson during Dodger games.

MR.F said...

Ugh. I was distracted by Josh S.'s horrible picture. Thanks! =(

Steve Sax said...

Mr LA SF, way to go!

I Alivandi said...

Russ got jammed (sort of like Jackie Johnson into her clothes) and still fought it off for a hit.

Orel said...

Thanks a lot for the pic, Josh. For a second there I thought I was looking at a mirror.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It's a pic I got of the bullpen from yesterday's game. You can get a better view by going to my blog.

Plug!

Steve Sax said...

nice, alivandi, on the jammed comment.

Ken said...

save some runs for tomorrow guys

Orel said...

Chris Smith is rockin' the Flat Breezy!

Josh S. said...

Castro makes two outs in the same inning.

Steve Sax said...

I notice that we've totally pissed off Erin by now. Erin, sorry this has degraded to sophomoric behavior so quickly tonight.

In other news, I'm done with my fourth beer. On to #5.

Josh S. said...

Careful Orel, you'll get suspended for 50 threads.

I Alivandi said...

Well, El Mariachi looked like Juan Castro there, but that was a hell of an inning. Does Kuo still come in at this point? After all, his elbow is more tender than a certain KCAL weather girl.

Ken said...

"since we have a no game right now..." - Vin Scully

Ken said...

That was a long half inning...

NicJ said...

hope kuo is ok to pitch, he was warming up for like 30 minutes during that long rally.

Sax and all - Remember, this is the same Alireza who normally comments. I am using the handle from my blog and that I use on my MOKM articles.

Ken said...

Gosh if u guys talk more about Jackie Johnson, she is gonna end up in my dreams. sexy dreams.

karina said...

Epale, Ali!

I Alivandi said...

Kuo has stuff as nasty (in a good way) as Jackie Johnson after a Fredrick's of Hollywood shopping spree.

Ken said...

"and the beer has gone flat here."

-Vin Scully

i love ur witty one liners

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Prince Fielder weighs a lot, but probably not as much as Jackie Johnson's chest.

Ken said...

Yikes, you just got Kuo'ed

I Alivandi said...

Did Vinny make that "mmm mmm mmm" at the curveball or a photo of Jackie Johnson?

Kuo is so f'ing good.

Ken said...

Who is going to the game tomorrow?

I am.

Ken said...

I like boobs in general

Orel said...

Low voice for the GBA singer!

Orel said...

Ali: Congrats on formally joining MOKM!

NicJ said...

Please give the lady some slack on the mic cable

I Alivandi said...

Karina - Why do women always ask that? It just is.

Ken - I might.

Orel said...

@Karina: "What's up with men and big boobs?"

YES

Orel said...

EXCESSIVE PEAK WARNING

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Relief is definitely on the way...

I Alivandi said...

Orel - Do I have to pick a former Dodger?

Steve Sax said...

Okay, I think I'm sticking around after the game for the...ah,...post-game show.

Ken said...

i will be at Infield Reserve, Ali

Orel said...

Quick: Jose Lima's wife or Jackie Johnson?

Ken said...

Boobs are nice on women

NicJ said...

Karina - basic facts of nature women with large breasts and wide hips appear furtile. Males are
attracted to females who have those traits. Gotta spread the seed that's what we are here for.

Orel said...

@Ali "Do I have to pick a former Dodger?"

Ask Kensai!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Yes, the...er...uh...postgame show.

I Alivandi said...

Looks like Beast Mode might be taking a few pitches again. Good sign.

karina said...

@Ali: because women never talk too much about men's anatomy. There's no male equivalent to boobs, you know what i mean?

MR.F said...

Beast Mode sighting!

Orel said...

That was so clinical, Nic! Are we men so predictable?

karina said...

@Nic j: even when you know they're made of plastic?

I Alivandi said...

Ken - If I go, I'll be in the field box. Mannywood hopefully.

Orel said...

@Karina "There's no male equivalent to boobs, you know what i mean?"

Blogging ability?

Ken said...

no field box for me tomorrow, i will be in mannywood for kemp bobblehead night. im so excited!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

We enjoy our women just like we enjoy our left-fielders: as long as they get the job done, we don't care how.

Ken said...

dun women like nice abs and biceps?

Orel said...

Plunkorama!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Manny just got hit, but unfortunately, not on by Jackie Johnson.

I Alivandi said...

Karina - I know plenty of women who talk about male anatomy. Just not our chests so much.

Ok, time to nail Fielder.

Notice how protective of his hand Manny was there?

karina said...

@Orel: " Are we men so predictable?"

As someone who grew up with two brother and whom in adult life has more male friends, most of the time, you are.

NicJ said...

Yup. That's of no matter. Attractions bring you back to your very basic, animalistic needs.

Orel said...

@Ken "dun women like nice abs and biceps?"

Not as much as they like sensitivity and weepiness.

Ken said...

I actually want to date a Dodgers fan.

I'm tired of these Yankees women

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

If this game goes any longer, I might miss the KCAL 9 News at 10.

Ken said...

@ orel

dont u mean money and weepiness?

Orel said...

You guys are going to like the Post-Game Thread.

I Alivandi said...

Yack in the Sack has the best commercials on television.

Orel said...

Touché, Ken.

Josh S. said...

That guy is SO happy about the pretzel party at Jack's house. It made his week.

Orel said...

We lose to Russ Ortiz, we (are going to) beat Yovani Gallardo. Go figure.

I Alivandi said...

Ken - My fiancee is a Dodger fan. Well,as much as she is any kind of sports fan (which isn't much).

Orel said...

Bill Hall is wearing the Black Panther-esque batting glove.

Orel said...

We should have a Dating Game for SoSG readers.

I Alivandi said...

Bill Hall is such an unfortunate waste of talent. If he could only figure out RHP. He is an awesome defender and has gobs of power.

Of course 72 percent said Pujols and Holliday. Pujols is the best power hitting duo, even trio, all by himself.

Ken said...

I wanna find a nice Dodgers girl

I dont mind if she doesnt look like jackie johnson

I Alivandi said...

Hardy of the past would have killed that pitch. He is really off this year.

Orel said...

Ken, you should have done yoga with Andre Ethier.

NicJ said...

Come on blue! It's a blow out open up that strike zone.

I Alivandi said...

Kendall looks a bit like James Carville at this point.

Orel said...

This is a long game.

Orel said...

That is not a compliment, Jason Kendall.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Mota's fastball looks good, though not as good as you-know-who.

Ken said...

@ orel

it was too pricey for me. didn't saxy boy suggest a singles mingles bleacher section @ dodger stadium?

I Alivandi said...

Mota is 6'6". Wow. Never imagined that.

Furcal nearly made an insane play. Only his arm makes that close.

karina said...

Blogging ability? sensitivity? weepiness? money? abs? biceps?

More than sensitivity, it's when you are able to listen.

Orel said...

Yes Ken, now the Dodgers just need to take his suggestion and make it happen.

I Alivandi said...

Cool thing about these FB tickets is I bought them as one of those vouchers that people go around selling for things like spas. This was actually worth it for me as a Dodger fan. Came out to 12.50 per ticket for FB seats.

Orel said...

Oh no! Lead is down to 8!

NicJ said...

What Karina? I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention I was watching the game.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I kinda hate DI. It's like the defense has just given up.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Since when is it "Saxy Boy"?

Ken said...

@ karina

i think my new blog is pretty well written

my abs are nice. my biceps not so nice.

but i am emotional sometimes, especially at dodgers games

Ken said...

in the simpsons

lou pulled steve sax over and calls him saxy boy

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Set up time

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Don't stop believing.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

ok

Josh S. said...

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Neeebs (The Original) said...

j

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm catching up, Orel.

Josh S. said...

Double damn.

Nostradamus said...

"...it's when you are able to listen."

I'm sorry, what were you saying?

Steve Sax said...

Mr LA SF, you are on FIRE tonight!

Steve Sax said...

Orel is sitting here drunk on his second beer

NicJ said...

This game really is the online version of a beachball.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I love it when Vin quotes Shakespear. It makes him that much more intelligent when compared to Joe Morgan.

Ken said...

i got really buzzed finishing a pint of arrogant bastard while sitting on an amtrak from santa barbara

Nostradamus said...

Nic beats me to the punchline by a dozen comments...

Ken said...

yay loney didnt get blanked

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This guy has one of the slowest deliveries I've ever seen. Vin loves his name.

Ken said...

a bison salami

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

BISON!

Josh S. said...

BISON!!!!

Slowest homer ever!

NicJ said...

Save some runs for tomorrow!

Ken said...

"strike out on that and u have been swindled"

-vin scully

goodness another zinger

I Alivandi said...

Wow. The Eephus/fastball combo didn't work against the Bison.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Schmidt wants some of those runs saved for tomorrow too.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I WANT BLOOD

Steve Sax said...

NO ONE hits JP. You piece of crap.

Steve Sax said...

There will be blood, Swindle.

Blood.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Vin has a deep appreciation for the Vin of the Mid-West, Bob Uecker.

Nostradamus said...

"So, uh, Swindle kinda sucks"

Being the nth pitcher in a blowout probably isn't a ringing endorsement.

Josh S. said...

So, was Swindle called up from the Ceremonial First Pitch League?

MR.F said...

Bison!!!!!

Ken said...

just a bit outside

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Good thing, we needed those insurance runs.

Steve Sax said...

mota! 17-4 dodgers

NicJ said...

Poor bill hall.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Wow. Even Mota is beating up the Brewers.

Steve Sax said...

this game is silly

Josh S. said...

I know, I know, save some runs, but this is SO MUCH FUN after such a slumpy week.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This is one of those games that makes listening to both Vin and Uecker so much fun.

Ken said...

hopefully this gets everyone on the right track

we really needa take this series and next on our way to the giants

NicJ said...

Is geico still doing that insurance runs for charity thing?

Steve Sax said...

13-run lead. Can we hold it through the ninth?

Steve Sax said...

Let's go, run differential!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Payback's a bitch, Fielder.

Ken said...

thats for manny

Josh S. said...

What the hell, Mota?

Steve Sax said...

Re: Mota hitting Fielder--I get it, but I don't really get it. OK.

Steve Sax said...

I hope Loretta pitches

Ken said...

and beast mode

NicJ said...

Gotta make a statement.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

As Victorino would tell you, at least it wasn't at the head.

Ken said...

loretta cant pitch

Josh S. said...

I think we could have let those two HBPs go with a 13-run lead.

Ken said...

if we meet the phillies, i would throw it at victorino again

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Nice catch by Pierre.

Steve Sax said...

Nice catch, JP!

Steve Sax said...

"And the Dodgers edge the Brewers, 17-4."
-Vin

NicJ said...

Hey, our bullpen is pretty salty. I'm not a fan of
throwing at people but two guys got hit tonight and we really have to protect manny.

Josh S. said...

Most runs scored at the Ravine in TWENTY YEARS?

Steve Sax said...

Post-Game Thread up! 100SS is locked...

Steve Sax said...

Now, to the post-game show.

Steve Sax said...

Who is the anchor on the right?

Steve Sax said...

MR LA SF, nice riff on Victorino! Love it.

Orel said...

What's that, Karina?
