Vicente Padilla (0-1, 11.42) vs. Todd Wellemeyer (0-1, 5.68).
The Giants and the Dodgers have already dried up more bad blood than the Red Sox and the Yankees will ever spill.—Tom Singer, MLB.com
COMMENTS: How does it feel, Dodger fans? The Dodgers haven't had a losing season against San Francicso since 2005, when they went 9-10. Now the 4-5 Dodgers are looking up at the 7-2 Giants, who have arguably the National League's best pitching staff.
The Dodger bats have been afire, but their pitching staff has more holes in it than a sieve dipped in acid. After dropping a series to the Pirates and eking a series win against the Diamondbacks, the Dodgers run into a potential buzzsaw in the Giants — especially with Tim Lincecum starting tomorrow.
On a happier note, both teams will wear #42 again tonight in continued observance of Jackie Robinson Day. Ah, Jackie. We'll always have Jackie.

We better tee off on this washed up pitcher tonight.
Both teams are thinking that.
Have I ever mentioned how strongly I dislike the Giants?
@MLASF-
You have noted such as I recall, but it's always helpful to be reminded of your hatred. There's an important lesson in there for us all.
SoSG reader Paul in the Yard tonight, per his Tweet.
^ Well god dammit wrong account.

Reading McCovey Chronicles to rejuvenate my hatred for Halloweentown. It's working. Working too well. I now feel like punching a baby.
@Mr. F
Like it.
It takes two google accounts to handle all oh Dusty's Giants hatred.
Speaking of Google Ads, I love the byline on Cougar Life, "they're all grown up now."
Haha, just noticed to typo on the headline. Take that giants equipment manager!!
Glad you caught it, NijC!
@Mr LA SF: I actually like the writing sometimes on McCovey Chrons. He must be psyched to finally have something to write about...
Typo where?
What is up with the telemundo commercials for indian movies at the stadium?
God Brian Wilson is a douche bag.
Stadium looks great!
Brian Wilson should be traded to Arizona.
If there is one good thing about the giants being good is it kickstarts a rivalry. Over the past four years or so the giants have been so terrible I find it a chore to hate them.
I want to see the rest of the team filled with a healthy dose of hatred toward the giants.
"Over the past four years or so the giants have been so terrible I find it a chore to hate them."
Probably because you don't live in giant country.
Mr. F
I feel ya. Living in enemy territory if the giants win two in a row you get to hear how great the team is but they suck!!!!!!
Is the R&b night?
Lovin the songs. That girl is poisonnnnn.
As a former Guns 'n Roses man in my misspent youth, it always galls me when I see Slash or one of the others all cleaned up and acting patriotic and shit. I want Slash to be throwing JD bottles onto the field and peeing behind the portable concession stand, not playing the national anthem.
Haha, I think I remember hearing Maury Wills in an interview say that he still hates all the giants to this day and that if he saw Willie Mays car broken down on the side of the road he would keep driving.
HA! Now that's hate.
In short,Slash should be a Phillies fan.
55 MPH "fast"ball
Vin siad they probably used an hourglass not a speed gun to clock that Padilla throw.
Yay padilla!
Because it can't be linked to enough...
Good god
Damn, he's amazing.
Back to back bombs.
Nice.
Atta.boy E
Matt Kemp is a Loverboy song
Man, Aubrey Huff is freakin tiny now.
Matt Kemp's a home run machine!
A can of whup-ass has been opened.
padilla rockin it tonight.
Just tuned in...nice HRs boys! 3-0 Good Guys!
that first inning made me feel much better about having to stay in on a Friday and study for a business law final...
I love how all the umpires are also #42 for tonight's game.
WHOOO!!!
Watching the game with my Giants fan roommate. Muahahahha.
HELLFUCKENYES!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate the Giants, but sometimes I really love playing them....
Wellemyer is my new favorite pitcher.
Giants, can we play you every night?
Time to check in with McCovey Chronicles...
That was E's first grand slam.
That was E's first grand slam?
Danielle, welcome! Give us a business law question, we're ready!
I hear Frank McCourt is looking for some business law expertise.
Hey, this is going well!
http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2010/4/16/1427223/open-anger-thread-2
This is some funny shit.
Manny sitting already? I realize he didn't do much tonight, but moves like that make me nervous.
too bad I haven't taken community property yet, then I could get a summer position with Frank McCourt for sure...
Padilla has an ERA under 10. Progress!
Manny has tightness in his baby cow.
Save some runs for Lincecum, boys!

(4/16/2010 4:55 PM)
oh yes we are!
Bochy is letting Wellemeyer hang. Somewhere, Madison Bumgartner weeps.
Padilla's ERA: now below 8. And no, i am not talking about it.
Not talking about his performance tonight so far, that is.
Why does FJL have 2ks in 2ABs?
there goes the no hitter
Ethier grounds out, bench the bum
Oh well.
Anyone have a report on Manny's injury? Bad?
im thinking its a Manny is tired injury
no lead is safe with our pitching staff
we have to keep scoring runs.
Stuck at the mall with the girls. What the hell am I missing?
Padilla possibly pitching hurt.
maybe its just a mental block after the 4th inning.
Ouch
padilla falling apart
What is it about the fifth inning that is so problematic.
Stay on target...
Who is injured?
rowand got nailed right in the head
man this is one swing away from being a game.
NVM, I lve Dewitt BTW
alright now we have to score some more runs.
So, who is going to get nailed in retaliation?
Even though i was obviously an accident, i think.
Just checked in at the cantina in time to see the assassination. Hope Penguin Lite is ok. Saw fans on TV clapping for him which was class (whew!)
DO-IT DEWITT!!
Dewalk'd in RBI
No...bottom scroll...button
DP, but a run in so its cool.
i dont even feel safe with a 7 run lead. An Ortiz looms in the bullpen.
damn panda
Come on Battletoad, get thru 7!!!
Vin talking about hairy coats, can you tell its a blowout?
padilla should be able to go through 7, only at 85 pitches.
Kemp finally gets a chance to work on some stolen bases.
damn, too fast.
Im surprised Vin knows who Jerry Seinfeld is.
Slash Fail
Back home and a concert breaks out.
Noooo! Wasn't a Slash fail. He lost his pedal so instead just went with the flow, plugged straight in, and picked that sucker. I thought it was top class!!
Slash looked like Bret Hart.
What was that strange Dodgers "SP" doing pitching in the 7th? Did MLB change the rules or something?
It's just too weird to hear Vin say "Guns and Roses."
Or "Alice in Chains"
It doesn't medder who the Giants throw out there.
Try not to GIDP, Russ.
Voldemortiz warming. Shit.
Tonight is where he finally reveals he's still a Giant.
Padilla is sweating like a French soldier. Does he have some disease?
That was funny.
Mrs. Dusty said their pitcher runs like a girl.
Guitar Tech Fail, then.
Casey's fall closely resembled Tommy's All-Star tumble.
SO do former giants come back to haunt the giants like former dodgers haunt the dodgers?
dewitt needs to pick up the slack, only one batting under .300 in the lineup. Pffff
Oh God, the corpse of Russ Ortiz. Can we DFA him right now please?
What happened to the cameras?
Loge-o-vision
Don't know, I have to listen to it. No KCAL in vegas =/
FIre up the DFA-O-Meter
Guitar fail. Camera fail. Wellemeyer fail.
The only time Russ Ortiz has looked small.
whats up with the camera angle, I thought this was the Major League.
Is this being broadcast from someone's iPhone?
Any reason Monasterios isn't pitching right now? Isn't this the perfect time for a kid to make his bones?
Keep the Crappy angle, Russ is pitching better.
Russ got a strikeout?
Russ got TWO STRIKEOUTS?!
The camera adds 65 pounds to Ortiz.
It might be a good time for Monasterios, yeah. Save the others...from themselves.
Im thinking C'Mon might be on his last legs, he looked really terrible his last outing and rule 5 guys dont get a lot of leeway
The DFA-O-meter just blew up.
Did I have the scoop on DSBG not being there or what?
LA Times can pick this up as breaking news.
1 decent inning doesn't save a career, or hopefully a season.
DSBG?
They took the glass off the Stadium Club?
i think the writing is on the wall with Russ at the moment. Ra Ortiz gets put in game with slightlt more to lose and Russ has been a mop up man for the past few outings now.
Is there anything like killing the Giants?
no, no there isnt.
Fuck a jesus bat.
Well jesus was a carpenter so i guess it make sense.
^Context: some teaser for KCAL piece tonight on some foolz who are all into the lord and make baseball bats with a supposed higher power infused into their product.
hopefully there wil be a virgin birth of a long reliever
there is the Russ Ortiz i know.
The DFA-O-Meter is tilting back towards Russ.
god damn you Ortiz. Tron has to get loose now.
I don't think the team is going to get rid of Monasterios until it is scientific fact that he cannot provide anything to the bullpen. One way to find out for sure is to FUCKING USE HIM ONCE IN A WHILE.
I'd like to hit Russ with a Jesus bat right about now.
yeah i know, i like c'mon a lot but the last thing we need is another pitcher that cant throw strikes.
Good money is still on Russ to be the first to get the boot.
i'd like to hit timmeh with a judy bat
THIS GUY CANNOT FUCKING PITCH.
CUT HIM NOW NED
Russ is more trouble shutting the door on the Giants than he does shutting the door on the fridge.
id rather have kuo in throwing right handed right now.
Though you're really only saying that based on one bad outing. Give Monny a try (I'm going to call him Monny from now on to keep in theme with Manny).
Can you call it a Walk of Shame when it's Russ Ortiz being pulled?
When joe went for the ball he should have asked for his uniform too.
You won't have Russ Ortiz to kick around any more.
Im just going based off the facts that a rule 5 guy rarely works out.
Unless you get him from the dodgers and then he turns out to be Roberto Clemente.
Can we finally cut Voldemortiz please?
OH FUCKING SHIT
man our bullpen sucks.
It's cool. Tron just wanted to run up Russ's ERA.
WHEN THE HELL WILL BELLY AND KUO GET BACK?
I could have jogged down to Chavez, stood in the bathroom line, and had time to swing at that slow piece of shit that Tron threw to Velez.
What an unsatisfying game, when it should have been so fine.
I guess Tron wanted Ortiz off the team too. That just jacked up his ERA
Seriously. A rubber arm is only useful if you can use it to throw and occasional strike.
Josh beat me too it.
Well, a win is a win is a win is a win. And it's a win against the Giants. Crappy bullpen and all, I'd say that makes for a good game.
PHEWPGTUP
Plus, it's another frowny-face in the Russ Ortiz column that didn't really hurt the team. Hopefully some day soon Colletti will put an end this abusive relationship once and for all.
