Jason Schmidt (2-1, 4.50) vs. Braden Looper (9-5, 5.03).
COMMENTS:
1. Will the Brewers retaliate? Your move, Brewers pitching staff. Will it be war or peace?
2. Can we predict that Jason Schmidt will continue to be unpredictable? Everyone thought he was going to bomb in his last start. Instead, he twirled six scoreless innings against the Braves. Who knew? Not us.
3. Is Manny back after last night's home run? He doesn't have to bop another homer to convince us, but another 0-for or 1-for performance won't be very reassuring.
4. Will I eat a chili-cheese Dodger Dog in the press box tonight? Normally I wouldn't think twice about it, but I had pizza last night. A Dodger blogger doesn't keep his girlish figure just by sitting around watching Dodger games, you know!
5. Will 100SS come down to the wire? Tonight is Game 9, and Mr. LA Sports Fan made a huge push in last night's Jackie Johnson-themed Game Thread. I'm looking over my shoulder!

UPDATE 4.35p, from SoSG Sax: Okay, explain this, you AccuScore idiots:
How can we be the favorite to win the game (top bars), yet projected to score 0.1 fewer runs (lower left corner)? Doesn't the team with the most runs win the game?

They serve hot dogs in the press box? Cool.

@ Mr LA SF: Delino's gonna have a field day with that one. Thanks for the find
@ Orel
how can i tag along with u to the press box?
how much do i have to bribe u with
I just found a nice little link thanks to Big League Stew:

Damn me and my need for apostrophes.
Don't start a fight in the press box tonight Orel.
More linky goodness (because I just can't stop)

Stop talking about the otherwise unobtainable chili cheese Dodger Dog!
I swear, I'm going to start a Dodger blog called imjustdoingthisforachilicheesedodgerdog.com.
Hey Prince, how's your Daddy?
He doesn't have to worry about Cecil anymore. Mota's his daddy now.
The answer to Sax's AccuScore conundrum is Jackie Johnson.
Oh no, Josh. My heart can't take another GT dedicated to Jackie Johnson...
Fine. Change of subject: Phils up on the Rockies 4-0 in the 3rd.
One big fat Prince now kneels before you
(that's what I said now)
Shrieking for vengeance he implores you
(just go ahead, now)
He can't make his way into the clubhouse
(the guy's too wide now)
He's so pissed off he's undone his blouse
(can't get inside now)
He feels he shouldn't have been beaned there
(that's what I said now)
He thinks retaliation's unfair
(aint in his head now)
Cameras catch him making such a big fit
(how 'bout that now)
But it's not like Mota even gives a shit
(go take a hike now)
Scary Prince? Worried, me?
That's the way that baseball is played, can't you see?
I may not be baseball royalty,
But I know what an easy target Prince can be,
I know what an easy target Prince can be...
SOSG should have a contest with the winner getting a night on the town with Jackie Johnson.
Either that or a SOSG Dodger night.
This is my new secret identity. I just wish it came super powers. Or at least a degree or something.
I hope the "T-bone" nickname works out better for dusto than it did for George Costanza.
Hey, a SOSG Pedro Guerrero sighting!
Epale from the press box! Wireless is dodgy right now, so pre-game info may be delayed.
I thought it was "Coco, the monkey"
Mr. Customer, unless you're looking underneath the bar, I don't see Pedro anywhere.
@Sax,
Comment 12? do my eyes deceive me?
Hey...I heard this was where the cool kids hang out. I'm new to this little love fest.
GLG,
I've rarely been accused of that, but yes, this is the place.
Surprise, no manny tonight.

Damn, Nic beat me to the punch.
Don't say punch tonight MLSF.
Oops. You're right, Nic. I should just stick to eating my franks and beans - er - I mean playing "Kerplunk" - uh, er, - nevermind, I'll just listen to the radio station that plays the greatest hits. Yes, that'll do.
Nice with the Spin Doctors, Sax!
Yup,
Sax with good effort on the lyric riff, I must say.
Orel attends so many games with a press pass the Dodgers should issue him his own seat by now.
Alright, time for a change of venue. I'll be back before first pitch. Probably.
For dessert be sure to have some apple clobber, I mean cobbler.
In the pregame, Lyons was saying that Fielder is going to be swinging for the fences to prove a point. Who's got the over/under that he goes 0-4?
Have a great time Orel! Eat a dog for me!
I'm hoping the whole brewers team is swinging for the fences nice uneven all out swings will only help with schmidt on the bump.
Boos for Prince!
Does anyone else see that don Ramon tequila commercial? Or is it just local to my cable company?
Anyone know how a vegetarian could still be that fat? Does his diet consist solely of french fries dipped in McFlurries?
We're underway.
Macha's really using a mix-and-match lineup. His only sure-fire positions are 1B, LF, CF and C.
Stadium radar says Schmidt's fastball at 85-87 mph.
That tequila commercial comes up for me too. Looks like it was shot on security camera stock with Chatsworth area talent.
Welcome to SoSG, GLG!
That tequila commercial is awesome in its badness.
Fatass is up.
Please no two out madness.

I don't like the last shot when it looks like someone is peeing in the glass
Thanks Orel...long time site reader, first time contributor.
RAFFY LEADOFF HR!
RAFFY LEADOFF BOMB!
A leadoff homerun!!!!!
GMTA, Orel.
Woohoo Furcal!
Long-time/first-time. Love it. Hear that, lurkers?
Ugh. Pierre didn't hit a homer. I hate him.
I'm so glad the Dodgers went for Wolf instead of Looper.
Yeah sorry Orel, contact with actual people makes me nervous. I prefer to be a quiet observer

Press-box wireless is as streaky as Andre Ethier.
Zing!
Dusty can I have your poster?
Epale all! hi Alejandro and GLG!
Stupid Mike Cameron.
Martins throws to second have been terrible lately.
P.S.: Please don't let MLASF score in 100SS tonight. Thanks!
Orel, your wish shall not be granted.
@Nic J: I just hope he doesn't try to pick anyone off at first tonight cause we know how well that has gone lately
Martin couldn't do anything there.
Be careful with your valuables...
Can Schmidt wiggle off the hook?
@Orel: i'll do my best, but you know i suck on this game.
@MRLAF let's make the game even more interesting
Sax is the only one who can make this a three-horse race.
But the ones who are out of the race can block any of the contenders
Pierre with the nice grab.
Wow, Looper tagged it, but right at JP.
Yay, I can exhale now
Schmidt got away with that one. That pitch was right over the plate.
Slow game.
There goes Schmidt's perfect August.
.500 is still good
Does anyone see Rick James 3rd or 4th row behind homeplate?
Watching Rangers-A's game, announcers talking about Prince Fielder and last night's incident. Slow game there too, though Murphy just hit a HR
Not yet, GLG
I'm a product of public schooling where 90=100 if there is no money for new books

Any damage to your phone?

Back to back singles, i have a bad feeling about this
@karina
How do, maam.
@MLASF
Damn your trigger finger, foe!
What's it now, Orel, a 20 point lead?
Shmitty's gettin' squeezed.
Need the gidp, but Princey-poo will likely K
Crap, Fielder was running like the bag was Mota's head.
HOW DOES TUBBY KEEP STEALING BASES OFF US!?!?
like a friggin freight train right there
Chubs is running us to death.
Gameday says Cecil's boy stole second, really?
What's up with Martin?
All two of his SB's have been off us.
Martin needs to lay off the yoga with his new girlfriend and start hitting the weights again
Maybe the girl is not the problem...
If they could've just saved a couple of those runs from last night...
The phone is fine, thanks. In fact, I'm posting from it right now. But I can't play 100SS with it!
Schmidt's velocity was down last inning.
They have achieved some late inning scoring on the past two games. Besides, it could be worse, they could be the 2009 Mets, i feel genuinely sorry for my younger brother and Delino.
If this game goes any slower, it will be played in reverse.
Get Shaggy up.
It doesn't look good for Schmidtty
For every excellent outing Schmidt has, he has a crappy one. It makes it difficult to figure the fifth starter situation.
J-Mac is up in the 'pen.
McD is up in the pen.
Deuces wild! Everyone drink!
Find the plate Schitty.
That was not smart, Schmidt.
Out, Schitty! Now!
Did the HBP look intentional? what was Counsell's reaction?
Thank goodness for Bison.
Thanks for the gift out counsell
Why do we make mediocre teams look great? WHYYY?
I'm close to going Khan Mode.
I'm up for a drinking game on Friday night, i'll get to watch the game.
I bet Bison's throw was sweeeeet.
@Karina.
No, pitch was in the dirt and hit him on the foot. Schmidt was just lousy tonight.
I sense MLASF lurking until we get into the 180's.
Where's Nic when I need him?
What're you talking about? I'm here, I put a post about Kemp's throw.
Beard gets things started.
My bad (I think that's what the kids say).
Just baiting.
New life.
Tubby drops the throw, giving the Dodgers a break.
Mr. GIDP is disappointed by the Prince's tin glove.
You mean King James grounded into double play?
OK, that's stupid. How can you not give the error on a dropped throw? Sure, can't anticipate the DP, but a dropped throw that any Little League 1st baseman could make?
@karina.
He should have. Fielder dropped the throw for the second out.
I need another beer.
Orel,
See if you can grab Steiner for the Kiss-Cam.
I hear random cheering. There must be a beachball or wave going on.
OK, if the pen can hold, we should be able to get to their pen and make something of this game.
That's the attitude, Rbnlaw
It's annoying when they out at the very first pitch
Thanks karina,
It's the beer talking.
Why do we hammer the brews crews ace an get owned by the rest of the patched together rotation.
That was a close one.
I like karina's idea of a drinking game for Friday nights game. Who is with us?
@Nic j: because they are good with the aces and mediocre with the mediocre pitchers. Fact of life
@Rbnlaw i like how your beer talks :)
@Rbn "Orel,
See if you can grab Steiner for the Kiss-Cam."
No.
I get to walk the dog.
Happy 200 MLASF.
@Orel.
Well, too late now. OK, the dog is leaving without me. Which is not so bad.
Wasn't Steiner the guy who winked at Erin?
@Orel: Do they let you bring like a personal assistant with you to the games? Cause I can be a really good runner for like Dodger dogs, beer or whatever...just sayin'
I think it was Lyons. Steiner's not the winking type.
Obviously the Dodgers can't touch the 'pen if Looper stays in there. I learned that from Joe Morgan.
Sometimes it seems like they don't even try until they get to the ninth.
Nice work by Tron, but the offense has to pick things up.
What the he'll happened to clay Aiken?
Nice shirt kid
Looks like a 12-year-old boy, sounds like a 20-year-old woman.
Manny PH appearance with two on, two out in the ninth???
A season split with the brewers is going to be very depressing.
Completely off topic but I just read that Jim Henson's son is in the final development stage of a Fraggle Rock movie. Man that show was the best
Here comes Manny...
Mannys on deck!
Wow it's loud!
No cheering in the press box Orel.
That was anti-climactic
Fuck, let's hope the bullpen is as crappy as it was last night.
Bring in Swindle!
New definition of anti-climactic.
That, my friends, was our look at the game.
We are really going to have to take it to the giants when we go up against them. I'm tired of them hanging on back there.
FB in. No, not Fred's Brim.
I just finished my eharmony profile, think any of the girls will mind that I put up a picture of Andre Ethier?
Two backwards K's for Sherrill.
It's official: Flat Breezy is nasssty.
Six outs for three runs. I've seen stranger things happen.
If the score holds up, the Dodgers will have outscored the Brewers 21-12 in this series.
Set up time
Who wants it?
If I was Orel, I'd play for the block
I'd bring in Brox just so he can shake off the cobwebs.
200!
