Hiroki Kuroda (2-1, 2.36) vs. Jeff Karstens (0-0, 2.70).
COMMENTS: Before this series started, thirty percent of you thought the Dodgers would win it, three games to one. Here's the Dodgers' chance to prove you correct. If Kuroda can deliver another quality start (as opposed to a Quality Start), with Chad Billingsley starting to find his groove, will the month of May reverse the curse of the Dodgers' awful 9-14 April?
Also: Lakers vs. Jazz, 7:30p PT on TNT. Go Purple & Gold!

what did laroche do?
Dre day!
Pancke stackers don't look tasty
ethier, however, is on fire
"Ethier is on fire!" —Vin
Dre breaks it down for the suckas, posers and haters.
Makin' it look D-R-Easy.
That x-mo shot was really slow
@Josh
He's clearly the right choice with interleague play coming up, too.
Nice job, church
Church just had to pray on that one.
Sun double!
Oh man I want the picture of Ryan church.
He looked like he was in Call of Duty.
Run for your lives!!!
Loney with another RBI!
Loney triple for 1-inning cycle?
Mr. C- Stop reminding us re interlegue play. COuld be an ugly chapter in franchise history. I don't want to think about it right up until it's a reality.
6-1 Dodgers!
@EK "what did laroche do?"
High bouncer down 3B line. LaRoche leaping grab with his back to 1B. Landed, spun, threw out runner.
@Dusty.
The Sox may be a nice vacation the way they are playing so far.
Sox were jsut swept by Os, no?
@Dusty
Easy for you to say. I'm also looking for Fenway Sox/Dodgers tix for a reasonable price right now.
I am not succeeding, so far.
They still do that Jr. Dodgers Broadcast? Wasn't that Jamie's idea?
Joyce is having a great day!
But enough about my sister-in-law.
Yeah, the sox are not looking up to the challenge this year.
Andre the All-Star in Anahiem.
Utah within 3.
I thought Jamie's ideas was the "women are dumb, let's explain everything to them" broadcast.
Lakers bench pisses away lead.
Andre-heim. Vote Dte 2010.
Is Kemp's glove....back?
Dre, not Dte.
Epale everyone!
just wanted to know how good was the McCutchen throw?
@paul
I'm just trying to make a deal that leaves my dignity intact.
@Josh
Perfect slogan.
Sorry for all the typos. I'm on the iPhone for the time being.
Epale, Karina!
i missed post 227.... but here you go anyway
There's no place like home
With your family around you you're never alone
When ya know that your loved
You don't need to roam
Cause there's no place like home
Time's are changing everyday
We won't get by with the same old ways
No-oooo pulling together will make it right
With help from are friends I know we can right
Cause there's no place like home
With your family around you you're never alone
When you know that your loved
You don't need to roam
Cause there ain't no place like
Better believe it
I said their no place like home
"I mean no place child"
Hiro's in the groove.
Bison D is back!
Kuroda cruising through 6!
Jazz lead?
wow, Utah on top by 1.
Epale, Karina! McCutchen make a great throw. Loney may be faster this season, but he's not that fast.
Utah up by 3.
@Mr. C
My self-respect left when I found out the Sox were not selling individual tickets to that series but I found plenty of non-season tickets on stub-hub.
Gasol!
Epale Karina, long time no see!
potential 3-point play for PG
Lakers, remember that inside game that was working so well?
Gasol singlehandedly making that and-one play
Karina-
Your H Potter tweets left my grinning all afternoon.
Jamey's got a...walk!
@Dusty Baker what's so terrifying about interleague play? pitchers who can't hit?dangerous hitters who mostly can't field? . Let's give the guys some credit and not think already they're gonna lose.
It's true interleague play hasn't been kind to the Dodgers traditionally, but maybe it's time to set a new tradition.
Leadoff walk in the sixth brought to you by Del Taco chicken soft tacos
kuroda sacs Carroll to second
Is that George Sherrill on the priceline.com commercial?
@Karina
Detroit
Angels
Angels
Red Sox
Yankees
All can mash the ball. Having trouble imagining Charlie Haeger versus Jeter or A-Roid or even Cano.
Kuroda at 76 pitches.
Let's go, XP
jazz by one right now
All tied up
obligatory shot of ugly blonde wearing stupid pink cowboy hat
Dusty, if Haeger is still in the rotation by June, I'll eat my hat.
(Or at The Hat.)
Speaking of obligatory shots of Lakers crowd, I want to punch Beto Duran for his shallow tweets. Or just unfollow him. He doesn't report an actual news; rather, just limp observances of celebrities he can only dream of rubbing elbows with. Dude, you're supposed to be a sports reporter, not TMZ.
I needed to say that.
It's all up to J Martin to score Carroll
nope
Nervous Staplers.
The Mil brothers (Miles and Millsap) are having a good game.
@Josh
Will you eat a pink cowboy hat? Or wear one to The Hat?
And one for Kobe!
Damn it Martin.
You are not suppose to revert to the sloppy power swing until August when the wheels are tired.
Stay balanced as Mr. Miyagi would say.
Nice D
nice try for flopping on Bryant
The lower jaw's a-jutting again
Lakers one pt lead... Why is artest shooting threes?
Ar-fucking-test, what are you doing?
Highlight reel!!! Belly#2 we love you!
OH MY!
Wow, Belliard really fired that throw. Holy cow.
Greatest play I've ever seen.
Not a good start to the song.
My wife just laughed at that Kevin James sight gag from the Grownups trailer.
Me: "Thats your kind of movie."
my kid: "that's no one's kind of movie"
That Belly throw to first was everything a Pierre throw was not. Just...wow.
The 'pen should be comping Kuroda's drinks after this game.
I'll say it again - god bless america belongs exclusively to the Flyers!
I'll say it again - god bless america belongs exclusively to the Flyers!
@Josh S "I thought Jamie's ideas was the "women are dumb, let's explain everything to them" broadcast"
Last season,some random guy seated four seats away from me. I saw him and i couldn't resist the urge to laugh.Why? he was wearing an Ed Hardy shirt, white jeans and sneakers AND a Jints cap (quick: what kind of names would you call this guy ?)
I had my camera and i just looked at him and figuring out what i should do in order to get a picture so i could share with all of you somehow. I even thought of telling the guy "you're so cute, why don't you take a picture with me?" (it'd been so low but extreme situations require desperate measures)
This guy was talking so aloud and looking like me like Josh said, in spite i had the radio on. Then there was a polemic play, so everyone around started talking about it and i was talking too and he said "who said women know ***** about baseball?"
I didn't answer because i only thought things improper of a lady, other men around told him i was a high profile hardcore fan, that i had been in a documentary, but i put my both earplugs and forgot about that idiot.
As it happened, anyway.
Refs letting them play
MUTE.
#GBA
Kobe!
Did I just see Manny from Modern Family in the crowd during GBA?
@DB - I watched two seconds of the White Sox game. Pierre had a throw from the outfield that was wobbly, wide, and in slow motion. SoSG really should sponsor his pages.
Lamar!*
[*Not Lamar Alexander's presidential campaign slogan]
Looks like the Lakers will survive
Good night JAzz
Both Dodgers and Lakers by 5!
Kobe with the sweet lay-in!
Which 5 point lead is safer?
Karina, I didn't know EK was at a game with you!
Bryant layup makes it +5
The Bass-O-Matic is now pitching
Delino-
I weep for your having to have seen two seconds of that WhiSox shitfeast.
Flipped back in time for FJL at bat...what happened with Belliard?
Karina, sometimes you have to take the high road!
Giants down 4-0; Pads up 4-0
Kemp isn't letting a few CS stop him from trying to steal more.
Milledge fail (though that was a hard ball to catch, he did look like he had it but couldn't hang on)
I'll accept the Lakers win, but this game should have been over last quarter.
Thx for that update, Sax. You are quad-tasking! I'm so engrossed in Lakers then Dodgers that I can't pay attention to anything else. Mrs Dusty is perturbed by this.
Goodnight moon.
Kemp and Loney seem to have Bass mastered.
Lakers 104, Jazz 97 with five seconds left
Lakers 104, Jazz 99 (final)
I think we're going to reel in the win.
Joycie!
DeHitt 2-RBI double! Dodgers 8, Pitt 1
Dammit MrC, you beat me to the bassmaster comment! Nice!
DeWitt bomb just missed, scores two anyway
8-1 dodgers, en route to their third straight home series victory (3 of 3 now)
Finally on the right side of a drubbing.
Dusty and Mr C, let's hope Bass doesn't get the hook.
Kuroda is making Bass throw
@sax
Pretty sure he's grilled.
Kuroda wasn't planning on swinging for that entire at bat
the woman in the corona ad isnt hot at all. Rather than shake up her beer, just pour it over her head
Meg Whitman sure does like slinging mud. I bet her feedback rating isn't very high.
Better yet break an empty over her head, Sax. HATE those commercials.
Kuroda still in.
Ok, just saw the belliard play. Wow.
@Sax
Voters say they hate mud-slinging political ads but nonetheless react to them just the way the candidates want. Mud works.
@DB, I almost wrote that--was concerned about the whole violence toward women thing--but to be fair I'd probably break bottles over both the guy and the girl for such an insipid commercial
39,339 in the Yard? I'm not going to take that bait.
Kuroda needs a quick out here if he wants to go the full nine.
@Sax
Clearly I had no PC concern and just took it to its logical extreme. I'm often accused of that.
Technically we are being egalitarian in that we'd incite violence toward both men AND women. Makes it kinda okay?
Nice lack of effort there Martin
Alligator-skin glove? Big pimpin'!
Kuroda's at 97. I think he can pitch the ninth.
Kuroda really smooth through eight full, boys and gills
Thought of bringing Kuroda out for the ninth is luring, indeed.
Agreed, we should let Hiro tackle the ninth
Is Torre going to let Hiro bring it home?
Heh, it's old friend Joel Hanrahan!
Hanrahan replaces Bass for the eighth, so hold on to the remainder of your fish puns.
As slippery as they may be.
That's one pirate-ass glove! Kinda cool..kinda - not.
The Debate in A Delino House
Doggies (aka Dogs 101 on Animal Planet) or Baseball.
And every two seconds, my son wants to watch the other.
Here's Carlos Boozer at the post-game press conference.
DRE DAY!!!
Andre got all of that one
@Sax take 2
Yeah Corona commercials are suppose to be relaxing not annoying.
E up, Pitchers down, in downtown L.A.
Homerun.
I love that man.
Jesus, that was a monster blast. And that's no fish tale.
@ sax - her opponent's got an amazing mudslinging ad featuring non-stop vultures (to symbolize her connection to Goldman Sachs)
MOAR ANDREY RUNZ
Would now be the appropriate time to say Kuroda was a Carp?
If Sherrill pitches well today, maybe the Dodgers will have a change of faith
I knew we should've let Kuroda pitch.
Torre really needs to see a doctor about his complete game allergy.
@ karina re: Sherrill - you were saying? :-)
Well if Sherrill is going to struggle he is picking a good game to do it.
"This was a rare day for Church, even though it's Sunday." —Vin
"This is a rare day for Church, even though it's Sunday." I love you, Vinny.
Vin is still on the top o his game with the Church pun.
In the religion of Joe Torre it is written:
Thou shall not throw a complete game.
Sorry I'm late. Just got home and had to fill the beer mug first.
Priorities.
The Bucs stop here.
Christ, Sherrill, WRAP IT UP.
Well, at least we're making it close.
Wait a minute. . .
Maybe this is just subtle way of getting Broxton some more work. Let Sherrill get it a bit closer, bring him in for that last out.
Thou shalt use thy favorite reliever all the time, every time, even if said reliever sucks something awful.
Dammit.
Now I'm picturing Sherrill pitching to Magglio Ordonez or Jason Varitek.
Waitress; another beer please. Make that STAT!
Up by 6 and we have to make a pitching change?
I've got a bad feeling about this.
I'm very sorry and ashamed about the Sherrill comment
We need to DFA Sherrill - Designate For Ass-kicking.
Well he got two outs, that's something.
In comes Belly. Was it really so bad to let Kuroda throw a dozen more pitches?
Cue the angry phone calls from my father-in-law re: Sherrill.
@DB
Is that because the Dodgers could trade him back to the AL?
Seriously, he needs to work through some issues.
Remember everyone, at day's end, Andre should have the triple crown.
Get him, Visa!
Thank goodness that's over.
That does it! See, I knew everything would be fine.
Where my optimists at?
@RB
No...because of interleague play.
Torre is an enigma: he's trying to rip Tron's arm but he won't let Kuroda pitch a complete game.
So, we're all in agreement that April was just extended Spring Training, right?
Now I wait to see the Belli DP. I was in the car somewhere in San Pedro when it happened.
Game over.
The Union really needs to step up with Torre and his bullpen abuse.
File with a claim MLB.
A winning streak!!!
Maybe this time it is different, maybe this time we have turned the corner. This time.
It was a good day for LA teams, but I feel like I should be a little bit happier on both fronts.
@DB: Ah. Of course.
@karina: was that criticism I read?
Tsk, tsk, m'lady.
At the very least, we learned Flat Queasy still has issues without recording an "L"
They will see us waiving from such great heights now..come down now they'll say...
Because of the series win, I shall return to my former moniker.
@Rbnlaw it was criticism. I feel very bad about my positive comments about Sherill.
@MrLASF your walls should be relieved :)
Also, because you have no walls left.
Try the new Flat Queasy from Taco Bell.
A grilled flat fastball with wildness sauce and crunchy extra base hits.
It will satisfy any annoyance you were lacking.
Gotta make a Petco run. Catch yall on the HFYPGT.
Sunday Night Baseball a likelihood for the household, too.
Been a while...HYPGTUP!
Taking 3 of 4 always heals open wounds.
Flat Queasy? Like it.
Dudes, we gotta get to 400.
