Game 109 Thread: Aug 6 vs. Braves, 7p

Randy Wolf (5-6, 3.47) vs. Derek Lowe (11-7, 4.21).

COMMENTS: Best record in the majors? With the Yankees a half-game behind the Dodgers, that could change tonight with a Yankees win and a Dodgers loss. But even with Lowe fresh off a win over his old team, the never-wrong AccuScore (accuracy is part of their name!) gives the Dodgers the edge tonight. Nothing against Wolf, but did Mr. A. Score watch last night's game? Actually, here's something against Wolf: He has a 4-12 career record against the Braves and is 0-5 against them since 2004.

(The 100SS finale is tonight! Will it come down to Mr. LA Sports Fan vs. me, or will another contender burst forth from lurkerdom?)

200

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Dammit.

Orel said...

Whoa, that was fast!

rbnlaw said...

I just totally missed 200.

Damn you people are fast. I'm looking at you Neeebs.

Steve Sax said...

Wow, no points for 200, but Mr LA SF gets hit -20 for the miss!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I still have the lead though.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Wow, RBN walks into it

Erin #2 said...

Seeee, what is that -40

rbnlaw said...

I need to go back and edit my post that was the 200th so I can add "200."

Steve Sax said...

In-game leaderboard:

1. Mr. LA SF 1840
2. Orel 1780

Can you feeeeeeeel the tension???!!!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It's on like Donkey Kong.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

If the Dodgers' bats don't wake up, I'm going to...go back to stalking Sax.

Erin #2 said...

@ rbnlaw

Oh, now that is sneaky!!

Steve Sax said...

300 could decide it. And here we are in the top of the seventh inning.

As Rorschach would say, Hurm.

Orel said...

Will we get to #300?

rbnlaw said...

When I started the 200th post, the counter said 192. Wow.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It was Chipper Jones's fault. If he didn't homer, there wouldn't have been spontaneous posting.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

It's so much easier on the desktop, than on the laptop

Steve Sax said...

@Neeebs, it's only stalking if I get the restraining order. Since you're kind enough to stay off the lawn, I don't mind much right now.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Neeebs - I built my lead on a laptop, as opposed to rock n' roll.

rbnlaw said...

@Erin 2:

If only, if only.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

I agree that the HR impacted that 200 post

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

And Sax or Orel can't delay the PGT just so they can get to 300.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

MRLASF: I got fat fingers, so the laptop is troublesome for me.

But...I have thought about experimenting with the laptop and the desktop open at the same time.

:-)

Orel said...

Whoa, GBA a little off-key.

rbnlaw said...

Bueller?

Neeebs (The Original) said...

OK, Mrs. Neeebs just came home and bedlam ensues.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'll tell you this, I'm not doing damage with two separate computers. Just me and my laptop. Nothing else.

Orel said...

"And Sax or Orel can't delay the PGT just so they can get to 300."

Sure we can. I mean, I haven't even started it yet.

Orel said...

"And Sax or Orel can't delay the PGT just so they can get to 300."

Sure we can. I mean, I haven't even started it yet.

Orel said...

Double post!

rbnlaw said...

I hereby pronounce the GBA tradition dead.

Steve Sax said...

I didn't realize God Bless America changes keys every line.

Oh my gosh, that ending super-note was awful. GBA score: 2 out of 10

Nostradamus said...

With luck, the boys will stage a late inning rally that will require another 100 comments.

Everybody wins!

Steve Sax said...

Orel, want to run out and grab a couple of beers?

And start the Post-Game Thread at 2am?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Except for me in this hypothetical situation.

Orel said...

You sound nervous, MLASF.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

If needed, I am ready for a 300-post onslaught.

Steve Sax said...

@Neeebs, do tell about the bedlam.

It's nicely quiet over here, windows open, beautiful night out. TV on inside, game on.

Steve Sax said...

242 comments in the seventh inning? I think we've got a great shot at 300.

Steve Sax said...

In fact, Derek Lowe can feel the tension. He's sweating to death.

rbnlaw said...

"The Laffer Curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. "Voodoo" economics."

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I always thought Lowe just soaked his jersey in water during breaks to make it look like he's tiring to trick batters.

Orel said...

A dubious call on strike two there.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Loretta seems to be regaining his touch.

Steve Sax said...

Finally, a leadoff runner reaches!

Nice job Loretta

Steve Sax said...

Let's get Wolf that win, Dodgers!

rbnlaw said...

Get ready for the next GIDP.
Just sayin.

Nostradamus said...

Here's the plan. I'm going to grab a beer from the fridge. Something is bound to happen while I browse.

Steve Sax said...

Anyone?

Anyone?

Steve Sax said...

rbnlaw, I see your GIDP prediction and say, NO GIDP here.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I need to see some more hits before I get my hopes up.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Only because Pierre is fast does he avoid the GIDP

Steve Sax said...

Wow rbnlaw you were almost right

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hey, multiple hits in one inning!

Steve Sax said...

two on, one out.

Come on, ANDRE!

Orel said...

Anything but a DP, AE.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

832-260-8192

Call that number.

Nostradamus said...

Well, something happened, at least.

Steve Sax said...

I don't know if I would have gone to college, if I had the chance to pitch in the majors.

Steve Sax said...

"832-260-8192"

Huh?

Orel said...

blah

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Someone told me it's Ron Artest's number.

Steve Sax said...

Aha.

Orel said...

Allegedly Ron Artest's phone number.

Steve Sax said...

Andre decides not to go yard, since it's not a walk-off situation

Steve Sax said...

Orel? Mr LA SF? rbnlaw?

You guys ready? < 30 away....

Steve Sax said...

let's go, Manny!

Orel said...

Moylan? Isn't that someone who performs circumcisions?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm not gonna call it. This guy attacks people in the stands.

Steve Sax said...

Peter Moylan hasn't given up a HR all year.

We don't need a HR, though. Just a double.

Orel said...

I do not predict a home run here.

Orel said...

How is that a strike???

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I doubt a double will come, unless it is of the "ground-rule" variety.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Moylan takes more time than...someone who takes a lot of time to do something.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

How anti-climactic

Steve Sax said...

SHIT

2-for-14 with RISP since the pinch hit grand slam, says vin

Orel said...

I believe we used that phrase last night.

Steve Sax said...

Well, at least we have 300 to which we can look forward

Steve Sax said...

even if we lose this game

Steve Sax said...

and no longer have the best record in the majors

Steve Sax said...

these panda express commercials SUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

And the actor they got to play the anchorman is SOOOOO BAD

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Still two innings to work with, but I'm not holding my breath.

Steve Sax said...

I can't believe Vin just made a prescription joke.

NicJ said...

Anyone notice that we have the worst last 10 game record in the NL West? 4-6

sf is 8-2

Steve Sax said...

Why bother going to Panda Express, if you know they're out of the orange chicken since robbers stole all of the supply?

Orel said...

I hope we bottom out in August and make a run in September.

Steve Sax said...

Another no-chance-for-a-win night for Randy

Steve Sax said...

How discouraging

Steve Sax said...

300 may be the last 100-multiple we get tonight

Steve Sax said...

No pressure or anything guys.

Steve Sax said...

Guys?

Orel said...

shhh...

Steve Sax said...

set...

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

300

Orel said...

300

Orel said...

DAMMIT

Steve Sax said...

I was actually giggling there as I hit F5 and it was stalled on 297

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

100SS IMMORTALITY...FOR THE '09 MLASF...

Orel said...

DIAF, DIAZ

Steve Sax said...

Mr LA SF in the catbird seat!

Steve Sax said...

Well done, Mr LA SF

Orel said...

Congrats, MLASF. But it may not be over....

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Since when did Matt Diaz get so good?

Steve Sax said...

But I will say, the game's not over yet...

Steve Sax said...

You still need me to force the PGT up

Orel said...

Who's up for #400?

JuanLove said...

doesnt matt diaz just have that "F-U" face? like he's the biggest a-hole in MLB

Orel said...

Sax, do you want PGT or should I take it?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That number has been verified by Artest. It's on his Twitter account @TruWarier, and trust me, that is his account name.

Orel said...

I guess you got it.

Orel said...

Did you hear the story about Artest giving his watch to some kid in China?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I heard about him reenacting the Malice in the Palace, and how he performed his Michael Jackson rap for a TV station.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Beard with the GRD!

Orel said...

Ground-rule Beard!

Steve Sax said...

That Beard double would have been nice last inning.

Steve Sax said...

Orel, I think you have a conflict of interest with the PGT. I'm on it--

Orel said...

Two on, no out! NO DP

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Loney walks.

Josh S. said...

Woo-hoo! Easy-out Loney walks!

Orel said...

I won't take it personally, Sax.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

First question, "why is our daughter still awake?"

My response, because we are watching the Dodger game together and she's on summer vacation.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Second question, "why are you still awake, you need to board a plane tomorrow morning?"

My response, "I can sleep on the plane."

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Crapola.

Orel said...

dammit

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Third question, "can you turn the game off in the living room so I can watch Housewives of Atlanta?

My respo;nse, "No!"

NicJ said...

Nice bunt Russ

Orel said...

Don't agree with the bunt there, although at least we avoid the DP.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Bedlam I tell you.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

How's that for padding, there Orel?

Orel said...

Neeebs wears the pants!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Are they just going to keep making new Housewives series until people start rioting?

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Damn right.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I would like to see a Real Housewives of Brooklyn circa 1930's. Nothing but crude Italian and Jewish stereotypes.

Steve Sax said...

@Neeebs, it's too bad you didn't win the 100SS contest. The prize was going to be a new 50" television.

Tell you what, maybe I'll save that prize for a future contest, and we'll substitute something else for this one.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

It is the WORST form of entertainment created by mankind.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

NOOOOOOO!

Orel said...

Send runners?

Steve Sax said...

Mr LA SF, for the record, I am just kidding about the television

pretzels pretzels pretzels

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Was MLASF in the March Madness contest?

Orel said...

Hey, how about a hit now?

Neeebs (The Original) said...

And what the heck happened to our old friend Cigarcow?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Runners advance on the groundout. Stupid Martin and his failure to bunt properly.

Orel said...

Busy hating on Tom Verducci.

Steve Sax said...

O-Dog grounds into a FC, so men move up to second and third for Matt Kemp's PH.

This is all happening to torment me further when Kemp makes the third out.

This is awful.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

and only 53 comments to go for 400

Steve Sax said...

@Neeebs, if you're stalking me, I can only imagine what cigarcow is doing to Tom Verducci

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I didn't start to interact with this blog until mid-April when Orel made his appearance on DodgerTalk.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Clearly the plugging worked.

Steve Sax said...

Matt Kemp missed that slider by about 100 feet

Steve Sax said...

Mr LA SF, did you really find out about SoSG from DodgerTalk?

Neeebs (The Original) said...

You would be a formidable opponent for that game. Then again, Cigarcow was tuff. So tuff that he has been nowhere to be found after his come from ahead defeat.

Steve Sax said...

It's funny, our agent was really on the fence about Orel doing the DodgerTalk appearance. I'm glad it paid off.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I knew about it before that, but I never took any real interest until then.

Steve Sax said...

Cue shot of David Ross getting limber

Steve Sax said...

Wow. The dulcet tones of Orel sucked you into the abyss that is SoSG.

Orel said...

Good eye, Matty.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Clearly your revenue from advertising must be going up from all my visits. I can't tell you how many times I've seen the large-breasted chick calling me Lord.

Steve Sax said...

I bet they give Kemp another slider off the plate

GODDAMMIT

Neeebs (The Original) said...

My productivity at work decreased by 22% since discovering SOSG.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That was depressing.

Orel said...

aargh

NicJ said...

This looks like it's going to be a very frustrating month.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Kemp shoulda figured they were going all sliders, not giving him anything to hit.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

33 scadoo

Steve Sax said...

@Mr LA SF, I wonder about that banner ad myself. I mean, that seems like not such a good fit for our demo, no?

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Looks like we are in a pennant race

Steve Sax said...

Wait a minute, that banner ad girl has breasts? I never noticed them.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Geeks, porn-addicts, or a creepy mix of both?

Neeebs (The Original) said...

padding, padding, padding.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Is this the slow down game?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm afraid Fielder's gonna come barging through the visiting dugout and takle Mota.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

*tackle

Steve Sax said...

wow, this evony game takes a long time to load

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm prepared to go to 400

Orel said...

At least the Giants didn't win today.

NicJ said...

I guess I have to start working on my giants rotation voodoo dolls again.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

You should always be doing that.

Steve Sax said...

Okay, Evony? Not so fun.

And no sign of that "big breasted" woman.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Should I stay or should I go?

Erin #2 said...

Isn't it about time for Eric to show up???

Steve Sax said...

400 is clearly in the soup tonight

Neeebs (The Original) said...

I'll take a vote. Only MLASF and Orel get to vote.

Should I run up and Yack my way to 400 or let you guys approach slowly and strategically?

Steve Sax said...

I think EK is hanging out with the big breasted Evony woman

Steve Sax said...

yack

Steve Sax said...

yack

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Mmm...soup.

Steve Sax said...

you see, neeebs, you're not the only one who has more padding than tootie from the facts of life

Erin #2 said...

But its my last chance to be positive....

Steve Sax said...

Scott Elbert appearance = one less percentage point that we'll see Jason Schmidt again

MR.F said...

Still the bottom half.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Last yack

Steve Sax said...

Erin, I'm B+. Blood type, right?

MR.F said...

400

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

400

MR.F said...

400

MR.F said...

DAMNIT!!

Steve Sax said...

Mr LA SF, I do believe the title is yours.

Cue the parade music!

Steve Sax said...

Chipper is having his way with us tonight
