Randy Wolf (9-6, 3.25) vs. Doug Davis (7-11, 3.75).
COMMENTS: The Dodgers have won three series in a row. But they lost two of three games to Arizona before that streak. But the Snakes' last loss to the Dodgers kicked off a string of seven straight losses for them. And the Dodgers dodge a bullet in missing Dan Haren. But the D-bax are coming off a sweep of Houston. But the Dodgers have their most reliable starter in Wolf going tonight. And Arizona is without Jon Rauch (traded to the Twins) and Chad Qualls (injured yesterday). Ergo, if the Dodgers can knock Davis out early and get to the soft underbelly of AZ's bullpen, they can tread all over the Snakes.

MMMMMmmm...homerum.
Jesus, Kuo. That stuff is illegal in some states.
HCK's got that little leg kick when he strikes a guy out. Somewhere, Willie Ranldolph is fuming
strike that, his kick comes after the fastball
nas-tee!
damn kuo, it should be illegal to be that nasty.
Heyman saying a deal looks likely. I have to say, I'm pretty shocked. I thought the rotation was solid.
Heh, Nic, see my 9:07 post. No two ways about it!
Can't we just kidnap Jon Garland while Dbacks are in town? Just put a pillowcase over his head and have Mitch Poole assign him a number.
Flat Brim Reaper sighting.
haha, so does Garland just move his stuff from the visitors lockers to the home clubhouse?
Just get him a uni midgame and he can walk across the diamond.
Vinny said "droopy drawers" referring to players' pants.
how fast was that?!
JIM THOME IS COMING
BREAKING NEWS: we got Jim Thome
Yes! I beat JuanLove!
no way.
i guess we got out matt stairs.
MLBTR says we just acquired Jim Thome. WTF??????
Manny will be one happy boy.
ugh, that means i have to not hate Thome now?
Jon Heyman says we just acquired Jim Thome!

ZOMG and Garland!
he lives 2 minutes from my house
We also got Garland. Rox got El Tito de Bronze, aka Jose Contreres.
what are we just collecting former Indians now?
I have been shocked to the core today.
Geez. I go to MLBTR to see what's up with this nonsense about Garland, and you all beat me to the Thome thing.
Ned's been a busy little Colletti.
who did we give up? im scared to hear.
This news is coming too fast and furious. WTF??? Cannot believe it. I would take Thome any day of the week.
I looked at MLBTR to see what was up. The first thing is that Contreres is going to the Rox. I was pretty surprised about that. Then I scroll down and I see the Dodgers got Thome.
"Ned's been a busy little Colletti."
*chuckle.
Damn. Too good to last.
where there goes sherrills streak, and randys win.
Can we put Thome in in the bottom of the 8th?
crapballs
now we have to try to score another run?! ugh.
Breezy out of the heezy.
Do you guys believe in jinx? Because Vin Scully just jinxed them to the core.
cmon Breez, throw strikes
do you think Loney knows yet?
oh man that was close
are you kidding me?
Nice play just to get one.
Don't scare me like that Vinny.
cmon Breeze, get Allen and the bats'll get you a win
Maybe I should check into this twitter thingy.
Thome?
Garland. Thome. I don't believe what I just heard.
The famous PTBNL was given up for Thome.
Wait until Loney hears this news. It's the fire I was talking about days ago.
@RB
Don't fear the Tweeter.
i hope this doesnt put us into yet another Xtra inning game.
I'm not that excited about Garland. Do we now dump Padilla, or just keep about 20 pitchers?
That's alright, Breezy. Still the Flat man.
Justin Miller was given up for Thome.
what's Thome's contract status? done after this year?
Not Miller, Fuller.
Thome is a free agent after this year.
does thome even have a glove anymore?
Apparently Suchon says that Thome has played a total of 28 games in the field since '05.
cmon guys, lets get a couple
28 innings. Sorry, a little buzzed.
Thome to 1st. Loney sits. Sorry, but it has to happen given the personnel, lack of DH, and Loney's non-production.
i wonder what loneyfan is doing right now?
28 inning at first since 2005? Guess Loney is safe.
so who gets moved from the current roster?
Does Castro's toe hurt?
yikes - that was bad, Manny
haha, get your blue and white on garland
Manny should have knocked that pitch into my living room, and he knew it.
Garland certainly looked happy about switching dugouts.
I feel conflicted about Thome. For somewhat reason he's the luxury bat coming off the bench.
Why would you pitch Schlereth vs Manny and then bring in a righty to face Kemp?
Don't rosters go to 40 tomorrow, or is it later?
The dodgers have announced they have acquired Babe Ruth.
So is charlie still going to pitch on thursday? or is garland going to?
i really hope we don't give up much for Garland.
Garland: (Enters Dodger dugout) So, I'm suppposed to be here, or what?
@Paul - They already did.
good point, RB - totally forgot about that
The Dodgers have acquired the San Diego Chicken for the right to Schmidt.
This is one surreal 8th inning.
hey wait, we still have a game to win!
MLSF
not that Babe Ruth. A pot belly pig from Nebraska named Babe Ruth.
think Thome will be taking ground balls on the plane ride to LA?
@Paul - How else are Dodger Dogs to be made?
Re; Garland.
Somewhere, the Angels are scratching their collective heads.
looks like the equipment manager is going to have to work overtime working on the new jersey's
cmon JB i want an easy inning out of you tonight
just throw strikes to these bums
is our plan to play Xtra's until Thome gets here so he can hit the Walk off HR?
The CWS are 6 games out in their division, same as the Gnats and Rox.
So why do they raise the white flag. Do they think they're the A's?
Rox and Jints are in the WC hunt. ChiSox aren't.
great inning, JB
may as well fire Ozzie if they really want to start fresh
Happy birthday SOSG
Thome is coming to relieve James Loney of his duties
That's what I figured, MLASF.
Dodger Thoughts Tweet:
"Note that Jim Thome has not played 1B since 2007 and has played only 28 innings at 1B since 2005."
Crowd withba cheer when learning of the trades on diamond vision. Where will thine play?
Didn't Thome play first with the Phillies?
BREAKING NEWS!!!
My GF just informed me that she bought dodgers dogs and they are in the fridge right now.
Time to make one for a rally.
cmon Casey, take a pitch
"Where will thine play"
AC, are you are a Renaissance Festival or the Dodger game? ;-)
From the starting lineup to the smoke in the distance and the crazy acquisitions. This has to be one of the strangest games I have watched. Freaky.
Well, it is 1st base. If Thome hists a couple of bombs, especially at Dodger Stadium, the fans will forgive a couple of botched ground balls.
damn i thought he had #2
have you guys seen that manny look alike?
just some short fat guy who dresses as manny.
he looks more like Belliard
JP has to got to wonder where his pinch-hit appearances will go once Big Jim Slade gets to town.
Damn, Nic, that's an amazing piece of news. What would a day at the ballpark be without one [Vin chuckle]...or two?
Pierre really is awesome.
Fantabulous. Maybe they got Garland so he could pitch extras.
My Living room wouldnt be one without one.
Battery failing. Out.
Actually, I would think maybe Haeger could start to toss. How many did he throw on Saturday?
Meanwhile back at the barn the Dodgers still can't string some hits together.
Aw fuck it
I really hate Rusty Ryal.
shit, James, not Johnny Ryal!
At least Ryal didn't hit Young Mc in the face.
Blah.
well that sucked.
probably shouldnt go 2 games in a row with James
This should have been a win.
J-Mac sucks.
FB-
Thx for that BBoys reference. It needed to happen, and I was beginning to wonder if I needed to jump in.
ugh this is getting ugly in a hurry!
I guess the Dodgers thought they would get an automatic win with Thome and Garland added to the roster.
This blows. I'm watching the rest of this in bed, though it looks like McDonald is going to make sure it's over before I even make it to my room.
This is just getting worse
Per TrueBlueLA Tweet:
"Per Nick Piecoro of AZ Republic, Arizona is paying the rest of Garland's '09 salary, plus whatever the 2010 buyout is "
Put Garland in!
Hell, let Thome pitch!
haha sure thing DB. Ryal's not a common name so the joke's an even rarer one
my GF found an old BB tape at a thrift store a few weeks ago. It's mostly just videos from the License to Ill era but there's also some tour and random footage on it. The best part is a wild afterparty scene at the end
on James, there's two. Now finish this off!
for christsake James, this is why we had to trade for Garland
that is so unacceptable
i am beside myself
Watch, we'll score a run in the bottom of the frame.
it's ok James, just keep walking them until you face a guy you like
game over.
If rosters didn't expand tomorrow, I would say demote J-Mac's ass.
GOD DAMN YOU CONFLICTING EDITS FLAW!
no doubt, MLASF. we'll have a guy in scoring position too
(golf clap) Well done, J-Mac.
I think I'd rather have Yong MC the rapper than Young Mc the poor pitcher pitching for us.
Jesus, man.
can we PH Thome for Castro?
One away.
How can you just stand there and watch a first strike like that, Furcal? You start 0-1 or even 0-2 in so many at bats. The first pitch was a fat, down the middle meatball that you could have sent into the Station Fire.
arent these the teams we are supposed to beat?
he probably heard me yell at him for swinging at the first pitch
No, these are teams we are supposed to beat EASILY.
at least they arent getting my hopes up by rallying
Two away
we still got Thome dammit!
And that does it.
Russ ends it with a popup, thats fitting.
What a putrid showing. Outside of three swings, we had little else.
quick someone tell haren he was traded to the dodger too!
I think we'll still get 2 of 3, but it would be nice to win a game one. oh well, i hope we have more energy in our bats tomorrow. And that we keep pitching well. it stinks about Breezy giving up the homer, but that was bound to happen. too bad it was with a 1-run lead and not up 3. and hopefully Vicente pitches well again tomorrow.
just think, if someone would have been on base when any of those HR's were hit i would be in a better mood right now.
that's been our offense for the last few weeks - everything seems to be based around HRs. I hope we can get back to stringing together hits and walks like we used to. the slumping bats need to help out though
