Great, that means there'll be a bunch of blind elderly people at today's game. But enough about the umpiring crew. What anyone can clearly see is that the Dodgers look like no team in their recent past. Whether Ned Colletti's baseball vision was to create an offensive juggernaut is debatable, but undoubtedly he was eying career years from Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier when signing them to new deals. Creating runs is the focal point of the Dodgers' attack right now; let's hope the pitching is rich and lends crafters of effective frames to this game.
I wonder what Doug Mientkiewicz is doing right now.
This will also serve as your Lakers playoff Game Thread; up 2-0 on the Thunder, they play tonight at 6:30 p.m. PT in Oklahoma City. Go Purple & Gold!

gimme a dp Votto
Torre already with the bullpen moves.
So having Kuo back didn't help the bullpen.
Here comes Belisario, again
Ron Cey sounds so calm in his radio commercial
I usually look forward to NFL Draft. Then it comes and I have no clue who most of the guys going are.
CRAP should have been a DP.
i think loney beat that
Kemp i hate your glove.
this is no way to play baseball
Why wasn't Loney on the bag there for the second out (and possible third out)?
Now it's 5-5
Whoops, 6-5, Reds
motherfather.
Even Steiner is blaming the missed double play. Shit, even he can see how bad the Dodgers sucked there.
now its 7-5
grrrrrrrr.
i think we have a fear of being over .500
7-5 Reds, the floodgates are opening on this bullpen again
Kuo ERA jumps to 54.00
We're gonna lose a series to the Reds? Come on.
on the bright side, leake looks like he is coming out.
Ethier-Manny-Loney up next inning...
...oh wait, that's Johnson, not Manny. Yay.
21% on FanGraphs...
this is complete bullshit.
8-5
now I'm pissed.
dammit belly, why can't you get the third out? Is this your Billingsley impression>?
Now Belisario and Kuo have the highest ERA's out of our bullpen pitchers. What the fricking hell.
sad to say, an 8-5 game is still tie-able by this team
winnable, I'm not so sure
Fangraphs probability dropping like a stone...down to 11%.
6 outs to get three runs. Can they do it? Perhaps. 6 more outs to force the game into extras? No comment.
Two frames to score at least three runs.
Lucky for us, Arthur Rhodes is entering the game
david, you and I are simpatico
Alternating wins and losses is no fun.
I thought Kuo and Belly were supposed to make our bullpen better.
On the way home I was all clapping and hooting when GA yanked one.
Then I was all I'm-never-watching-this-team-again after our daily bullpen meltdown.
i know its not even 20 games in, but there arent even any signs of the pitching getting better.
This year is not the year to get up to take a leak during the game.
@MLASF re Kuo and Belly
That was so last year.
@Mr C- Unfortunately, Leake was taking it to us the whole game.
@DB - Winning seems to be so last year also.
loney's gonna punch one here
So we win home series 2-1 and lose away series 1-2 now?
Now, I'm no mathlete, but...
or get caught looking. Fuck.
We're gonna lose. The game, the series.
To the stinkin' Reds.
bulls choking.
I still have to wait an hour and a half to see who the Saints pick. Winning the Super Bowl sucks.
damn the cavs and their ability to hit wide open looks.
At least this way, there's no pressure on Sherrill. He can give up as many runs as he likes.
good god I am glad I missed the bottom of the seventh. Joe obviously doesnt remember that Belli was no good going back-to-back
Tebow looks like such a douche in that shirt.
Well, moreso than usual.
so, if we become sellers who do you think is gonna go?
If Sherill gets straightened out he could pull in some good propects.
NicJ just makes me headache 10 times worse.
OH shit getting pulled mid at bat.
Bye.
We're the 2009 Phillies.
We're still at 2% on fangraphs...
Down 8-5? What the heck happened while I was busy getting drafted??
this is pathetic. i can't deal with this inability to pitch and field. I would rather lose 2-0 and yell at the hitters than deal with this helpless feeling, knowing we are going to be issuing walks, giving up hits to garbage hitters and pitchers and knowing no lead is safe
I will probably have to confiscate the use of fangraphs as some point if this season does not improve. I assure you, I will return it to you at the end of the semester.
MR F - I was being sarcastic.
i guess i need one of these

@ek,
Sadly, the usual happened.
we got a blueout in OKC
Tronny somehow doesnt walk the bases loaded
Blake, DeWitt and Martin left to keep the hopes alive.
Cheer up, lads. At least a) Yankees lost and b) we didn't lose 20-0.
the lake show is up for business.
We're the 2010 Dodgers.
son of a whore, I hate this game on occasion.
@DB
No day when the Yanks lose is truly wasted.
Baserunners are good
Russ keeps it going
Belli2 doesnt help much
2 down
does Raffy have one more big hit in him?
Fuck
Raffy flies out to end another frustrating game
steady middling
at least nobody booed our pierogies tonight
Note to Lakers. Try not to suck so it's a net win today.
lakers already abandoned the inside attack. That lasted a good 4 minutes.
PGT up. Is the Laker game on yet?
gnite all. let's put a hurting on the Nats this weekend (at least try to take 2 of 3)
FB said "at least nobody booed our pierogies tonight"
If the gentleman will yield, I'd like to revise and extend my remarks:
a) Yankees lost
b) We didn't lose 20-0
c) at least nobody booed our pierogies tonight
d) we still have the Lakers
I yield the balance of my time.
