Game 152 Thread: Sept 23 @ Nads, 4p

Chad Billingsley (12-10, 4.05) vs. Ross Detwiler (0-6, 5.80).
DODGERS' MAGIC NUMBERS: 2 (to make playoffs), 6 (to win division)

COMMENTS: This may not be Chadley's last chance to redeem his 2009 season, but it's his best chance. A poor performance by Bills against the Glass Joe of the majors would just about ruin his chances of starting the in playoffs. However, a strong performance wouldn't necessarily guarantee him a start, and a so-so performance would just leave us all frustrated. Hopefully the bats will follow their cue from yesterday's drubbing and provide Mr. Thighs with some run support, allowing Chad to Punch-Out!! the Nads!

Today is your luck day, Saul Rivera!

Nostradamus said...

Make it stop! You're the Nationals, all your pitchers suck equally! Just stick with one!

NicJ said...

Ugh, let's get a run this team doesn't need another xtra inning game.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Well...



At least Manny gets a shot with the bases juiced! I'd hate to be the guy to tell Rivera what he's inhereting.

Ken said...

Andre's powers do work on the road

Ken said...

wow the dodgers of yesterday disappeared

Fred's Brim said...

crapcrapcrap

Ken said...

happy bday shawn kemp, i mean matt

NicJ said...

Damn.

Alright B-day boy it's up too you.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

OH SON OF A BITCH

Fred's Brim said...

ARGHH!

Kyle Baker said...

Don't make me type a whole long screed about having rancho ardiendo with no outs and not being able to capitalize!

Don't make me poop, either!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That was a fail for Andre and Manny, not Kemp.

NicJ said...

Chads bad mojo is still all over the game.

Fred's Brim said...

agreed - gotta do your job there

Nostradamus said...

ugh.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This won't end well.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

We did not deserve to win.

NicJ said...

The Chad jinx continues.

Steve Sax said...

well, that sucked.

Nostradamus said...

@MLASF

You ain't lyin'.

Steve Sax said...

But at least Thome got a hit!

Steve Sax said...

Rockies are down 2-0 in the fifth.

Braves up 5-2 in the 8th on the Mets

Fish down 6-4 to the Phillies in the 8th

Cards losing 2-0 to the 'Stros

Fred's Brim said...

I blame Saxy and his overconfidence in the Thome post

Fred's Brim said...

sorry Sax, no I dont. i'm just mad

Steve Sax said...

5-0 Padres over Rox

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I have some good news, though I will wait to post it on the MFPGT

Bayareadfan said...

Chad really is cursed? How does the team go from a no hitter to impending loss, with bases loaded epic fail interspersed, in like 45 minutes?

Nats had what, 5 hits? And they won?? And we had 4 straight guys who couldn't get the ball out of the infield with the bases loaded in the 9th?

Some strange voodoo in this game.

NicJ said...

did he happen to pick up any cursed Tiki?

Seriously though it seems like the dodgers play like crap everytime he pitches. Thats not necessarily his fault, but that doesnt really comfort me in games he pitches.

Steve Sax said...

6-2 Pads, end 5

NicJ said...

espn just cut out on the giants with the bases loaded to show brad lidge throw practice pitches.

HAHA

NicJ said...

and he gives up a lead off double.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@Nic, I can just picture it now...

"2-2 to Sandoval: Outside! 3 and 2 to Pablo! The runners will be in motion on the pitch. Mulvey is set at the belt. He looks to first, to third, now into the windup, and here's the pi-"

"We interupt this meaningless game between two meaningless west coast teams to show the Philly's crappy closer throw practice pitches!"

NicJ said...

"We interupt this meaningless game between two meaningless west coast teams to show the Philly's crappy closer throw practice pitches!"

haha, thats exactly what my friend just said.

NicJ said...

a gift strikeout right there.

Bayareadfan said...

This is just not our day. Phils losing would be good for us, so of course the Marlins will fall just a bit short and lose the game because they couldn't get a run home from 3rd with 1 out...

NicJ said...

BS 11

LOL

Fred's Brim said...

*hackhackcough*

JuanLove said...

this is pretty ridiculous

lidge just blew another save

NicJ said...

well that worked out nicely.

Fred's Brim said...

wow Lidge, you know you aren't an Astro anymore, don't you?

Fred's Brim said...

Charlie Manuel just filled his colostomy bag

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

FB just won the one-liner of the day with that gem.

Kyle Baker said...

"Charlie Manuel's colostomy bag"

New Phils blog.

Kyle Baker said...

Nice work, FB.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It looks like there will be no MFPGT, so I guess I'll say it here: the city of Walnut has agreed to the new stadium proposal for the City of Industry. People, I give you the NFL in Los Angeles.

Kyle Baker said...

MLASF, I'm dying to hear your good news and I ain't seeing any MFPGT.

NicJ said...

THE LOS ANGELES JAGUARS!!!

haha

Kyle Baker said...

Scratch that last comment like a lincecum.

Kyle Baker said...

Cards lost, Phiws lost, Rox losing...if we had to lose, this would be the day.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

One name I'm hearing is Minnesota. I wouldn't mind becoming an Adrian Peterson fan.

Kyle Baker said...

City of Industry Vikings?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I would expect the team to change its name if it can't fit in. And it would be Los Angeles (Blank).

Kyle Baker said...

Los Angeles Industry

Kyle Baker said...

MLASF-

Totally not meaning to ask a leading question, and clearly you are happy with this new development, but is it a great thing for this to happen in/around City of Industry, do you think? Personally, I'd rather have it nearer or in the heart of LA, eg downtown.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Beggers can't be choosers, Dusty. I just want a damn team here. Besides, it's much easier and much more cost-effective to put it in Industry rather than Downtown. I can't even think of anywhere to put it. Besides, the team would probably play in the Coliseum until the stadium is complete.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I used "besides" way too much.

Kyle Baker said...

I smell what you're cookin'.

Orel said...

MFPGT up...sorry it's late!
