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 I'm listening to this morning:
http://baseballrecordings.com/Brooklyn%20Dodgers%20Jump.mp3
XP leading off?
Intriguing.
XP indeed. Late Windows 7 adapter?
If XP can manage 95 to 98 RBI this season, that'll be OK by ME.
"Torre: Vicente Padilla not likely to pitch for the Dodgers in May"
[Via TBLA]
Ok folks, I've just seen something that requires me to hit the gin early. Breaks down like this. LAA v DET broadcast just now. (New Jersey Angels of Hoboken losing 4-0 nil - suck it!) Coors Ligh Freeze Cam segment. Some Styx "Paradise Theater" concert tee looking guy gets hit with foul ball. Seatmates administer cold can of Coors Light to kid's head. Sweartogod. And that was the Freeze Cam moment. New low.
Product placement. It's all about product placement.
I actually think I'll be able to watch the games this afternoon, toggling among Dodgers, Lakers, and Call of Duty MW2.
Wow Sax, you're really making the most of your Sunday. Hat trick of fun! Do they have picture in picture in picture?
We could also do a quick round of Assassin's Circle.
@Sax
Nice!
@DB
I will be sponsored today by Sam Adams and a Red Tail left over.
@Josh re: XP
Awesome! He might be the vista to the future.
I wonder if we are going to see the Monster Mash again now the Padilla is stuck in the lab for another month.
okay I really sponsored by Starbucks this afternoon.
I am doing a reply to a response.
A response to a Petition.
A Petition to a reply of a response or something lke that.
Edwin Jackson has given up 7 ER in 3.0 innings so far in Chicago.
Today, Since we are throwing out sponsors, SSS will be at work until 9 cdt. I will then be sponsored by Miller High Life Light. (its the champagne of beer). Go Dodgers, F**k the Gnats.
SSS-
They make Miller High Life Light? Doesn't this directly compete with Miller Lite, a product that Miller-Coors also makes? I need to re-watch "Beer Wars" I guess.
Some Diet Coke up in dis bish while I work through some issues brought on by massive consumption yesterday.
@ DB. They do indeed. It is in a silver can. Red lettering. Cost is $8.79 for an 18 pack at Oscars liquor in Maumelle. I need to be drinking water. Drank way too many cold ones this weekend fighting through 2 days of Tornados.
I bought my first legal booze at Oscar's Liquor, SSS. Thanks for taking me back to 1991.
Sickness! Kobe en fuego.
This Kobe kid...gonna be good some day.
All you guys have inspired me to crack open a cold one. Starting with a Pacifico, bottled.
I read somewhere about the chemicals in canned beer being bad for you? Is this true?
Kobe is jutting out his jaw...bad news for Utah
28-21 Lakers, 1:50 1st
I truly haven't had a can of beer in years. Maybe the odd Miller Lite on the golf course when it was 104 and that's what the cart girl had. On the other hand, I am having a Diet Coke out of a can.
Who is Jeff Karstens?
@ Steve Sax
Hogwash!!!!!!! That is west coast bias!!! They would never mention such a thing in Arkansas! :)
@ DB
Oscars is the place! Same location, some things never change.
On the sofa, Vinny! Let's go Blue!
Lakers up 8 in the second.
Ah shit, I just realized I was watching the Lake Show delayed on the DVR.
Phil Jackson just called the Jazz "a bunch of strippers"
Come on, Hiroki...let's turn McCutcheon back into McCutcheon not Roger Maris.
Down goes Milledge!
Lakers...Sox....Dodgers..work...Lakers...Sox.....Dodgers..work.
DeWitt almost blows thd Iwamura infield popup
Wow, crowd looks really sparse at the Stadium
Nice first inning Hiro! 0-0
Nice work by Hiro.
SSS-
On the other hand, Lake LIquor is now a huge megamart; I remember it when it was a little cinder block liquor store. I would have to get some El Camino driving, mullet having, Molly Hatchet concert tee wearing kind of dude to go buy some Beast for me.
It was a pretty light crowd last night, too.
Bad opponent + bad record, I suppose
@Paul
I like how you only mentioned work once.
Grrr...itching to get Home and crack open a beer now.
The beer guy was saying last night that he thought the fight kept the crowd down, too.
XP warning track power.
@ DB
True enough. Lake is the big boy. Here is where we get made fun of DB. You know what festival is in Conway this weekend don't you? I will let you type out the name, and prepare for the jokes to fly!
Andre looks locked in right now.
Toad Suck Daze!
Sad to say I was at the very first one.
Will Ohman on the mound right now for B-More.
Lakers by 11. Dodgers by 0.
Exactly DB! The home of fried....anything you want!
Okay, can anyone really vouch for Bing?
Never tried it.
Ortiz vs Ohman.
I haven't so many bad pitches and bad swings in a single AB.
Ohman wins the battle.
Kuroda is looking good but can't help to think Furcal might have snagged that one.
Apparently Andy Garcia is readying for a move to the North Pole.
Andy Garcia looks like a homeless guy with that beard
I can vouch for Bing cherries...delicious.
20 pitches through 2.
Hiro is my hero
That Deron Williams guy is pretty good.
When do the Dodgers get a Sunday Night Game for crying outloud?
Does Joe Morgan pick the games?
Let's go Kemp
I think Matt is due...
Wasn't at all impressed with Bing on my iPhone. Deleted it after not very long.
Bing's pretty good for finding a price.
And beating his kids.
It's another NL East game on Sunday night. What a surprise.
Kemp coaxes a walk, but Colletti criticizes him anyway for trotting to first base.
LOLO! 1-0 Dodgers
The dreaded/vaunted lead-off walk.
Who's seeing Iron Man 2?
Nice!
James swing is sweeter than a bing cherry.
There's an Iron Man TWO?!?!?!
Orel, no I'm not seeing Iron Man 2 right now. But I plan to soon.
What is this strange Iron Man talkie you speak of?
#FuckComicBookMovies
#HaveSomeNewIdeasHollywood
I'm not a ScarJo fan, but having her in Black Widow's catsuit = win.
^At risk of pissing off virtually everyone
Oops, that was me commenting under the SoSG corporate account. My bad.
Now I'm gonna hear it from HR.
DeHitt RBI. 2-0 Dodgers. Is the offense back?
Well done, DeWitt!
2-0 Dodgers
Joyce!
Dusty, why the hating on comic books? Did they run out of books before you got to Free Comic Book Day yesterday?
EK, I hope you turned off the lights at SoSG World Headquarters.
@EK
I thought the end was near.
@DB
I totally agree. Remaking Karate Kid and Footloose.
Jeez enough already.
No no - I said comic book MOVIES!
I love how even Vin gave Carroll effort points, since expectations are so low. "Not enough to advance the runner, but he tried."
Eight-pt lakes lead
When does Aquaman get his movie?
Did Mr C just make a Three's Company reference?
Orel, I forgot my badge so couldn't get in the building. Harold the security guy wouldn't let me in without it even though he sees me come in every day.
Gasol was raped there
"With a name like 'Jaramillio,' you would expect him to have been born out of this country." —Vin
Really?
Harold is a bastard like that.
SoSG World Headquarters must be a highly-secure installation. Is it in a heavily-wooded area in northern Virginia? Most of your projects totally off book?
@DB: yeah, there are a lot of comic book movies. But as long as they're more like Dark Knight, XMen, and Spidey 1/2 (not 3), I'm okay with it. Daredevil, Watchmen: I can do without those.
Where was he born?
I am glad Vinny isn't working for USCIS, I don't know where my SS card is right now.
Moviefone accidentally sold me tickets to Aaron Mantooth.
@Orel
I was questioning Vin on that, too. I might think that the name might be a rarity in Wisconsin, but certainly not in the US, modernly.
Vin really defending DeWitt not turning the DP there.
There's an Iron Man TWO?!?!?!
@EK: Harold is a stickler. But only because he's seen your Internet surfing log.
Lakers only up 8 at the half after shooting 60%.
thats not really that good.
@EK "Where was he born?"
Racine, Wisconsin
SoSG World Headquarters is very high security. We are not allowed to reveal its location.
Except that time we held the Manatee tryouts in my cube.
Loney-Dewitt-Carroll-Belly.
One of these things is not like the other things.
you know, i really dont like the fact that kemp doesnt bother to back up the throw to second untill its already botched.
Doesn't McCutchen kill us?
Harold always goes on a little power trip whenever I forget my badge.
Looks like McCutcheon just killed himself.
Kuroda should have stepped on the inside of the bag there.
fuck i think mccutchen hurt hiroki.
Thankfully McCutchen is not McClutchen.
McCutchen has had a rough series...with a name like that he must be from across the pond.
Yeah this McCutcheon kid clearly immigrated to this country on his own, seeking to leech off the system and take our jobs away.
XP 3B!
XP!
Unix!
dont strand the lead off triple please.
Windows 7!
LeBron with two earrings...weird.
still halftime?
Ethier in the zone. Every swing is sweet, sweet music.
ANDRE!!!!
success! im not sure how to deal with this.
3-0 Dodgers. Will we have a winning record against the Pirates this season?
did something good just happen?
Everything's coming up Milhouse!
Andre looks like he is hurting.
Did you know: Matt Kemp and Jeff Karstens have birthdays on consecutive days?
damn, kemp hits it hard and only gets a force play.
Nice hit though.
Matty stung that pitch, maybe the drought will be over soon
How did we get run #3?
Kemp CS
Ethier RBI single
someone needs to teach kemp that stealing bases isnt just about pure speed, you have to actually read the pitcher too.
Or they just need to stop sending Kemp. He has no idea what he's doing. Too bad we don't have one of the most prolific base stealers on the coaching staff.
Who would have thought James would be better at stealing bases than Matthew.
DB, Torre has said before that Kemp has the green light to steal always unless told otherwise. I think they need to tell him otherwise now.
Right-o, Nic.
It's weird because Mrs. Dusty in law was JSUT asking me re Kemp and if he had a greenlight or what. THen I refreshed and read your post.
Kemp now leads the league in CS
Mrs Dusty in law: "McCutchen and Milledge look like real pirates."
I'm surprised Vin hasn't said he can't tell those guys apart.
Lakers game back on for 2nd half now.
Lakers game is back up
3-1, laRoche RBI
Shoot, DB, we are simpatco again
3-1 LA after 3.5 innings
lakers up by 11
Matthews just took about 7 steps there
8:00 in 3rd, Lakers by 9
Bing Cherry up.
Caught, but Loney is still tagging it. Good to see.
damn barely missed that one.
Can the Rockies win today?
I sure hope so.
I CANNOT WAIT to find out what new shaving breakthrough Gilette will unveil June 6th.
The anticipation is killing me.
We're almost getting all of a lot of pitches. Almost.
Loney is in the top seven or so in the league for hits
Carroll almost hit in the ondeck circle, but luckily his wide eyes saw that foul ball coming.
The only shaving breakthrough I will pay attention to is one that doesn't involve me ever having to shave again or that doesn't involve spending $23.99 on three blades that last maybe a week each.
HUGE ERROR
Kobe hit a ridiculous shot to put Lakers back up by 9.
E6 pirates
Whoops, ruled a basehit
Carroll is growing Casey's beard.
I'm having an Iron Man 2 tie-in for lunch.
Scorekeeper being a bit generous
Utah within 3.
Oooh, Utah hits consecutive 3's
3 pt differential.
"a bit charitable" Vin re: that being ruled a base hit.
Gotta love baseball
Dodgers tagged two balls and then the Pirates double over.
Refs are letting them play. We may see weapons on the court soon.
Jamey's got a...hit! How refreshing
Taco Bell has a new product out. Do they just put all their menu items in a randomizer and it spits out new names for new products, but using the same ingredients they already offered?
SOB lakers.
Lakers back up by 9. Fish has his Kobe face on!
Double pump long range shot by Fish...goes! And a followup drive and one
My multitasking effort is not going according to plan.
Back to five pt Lakers lead
@dusty
Aren't all Taco Bell products essentially the same items in different configurations?
Gasol owns Boozer.
Kuroda grounds out to strand two . 3-1 after four
Yeah Fisher's penultimate shot had no arc but somehow it went in
They gotta get Hiro to stop swinging at everything.
Exactly, Mr. C. Yet I can't stop buying their food.
Kia crew on ABC!
I love the magazines in that State Farm ad. Tempo, Sports World, and News.
Tortada.
Cross between a tortilla and a tostada?
Yeah but the nacho cheese beef frappacino is where i draw the line.
To use a quote from my Dad... though it wasn't about this team... or any sport for that matter...
It helps when you're fighting the Pirates.
Stallone looks rather puffy in the face.
Bynum actually made a nice shot! Wow
I think I am frying my directv remote
Stallone just ate 4 gorditas.
@Sax-
Are you still triple-tasking?
A good Iron Man tie in would involve more Russian foods for Whiplash. or slut-themed foods for Black Widow
Kuroda with an easy fifth, 3-1 dodgers after 4.5
Dodger pitching: Now with 100% less implosion.
"Great Laker defense!" - Not said often. Then of course we turned right around and gave up the open shot after the in-bounds.
Let's finish the third qtr strong, Lakers (6 pt lead) (now 8
The Whiplash Whopper is just a renamed Angry Whopper.
@Delino
I am not going to touch slut themed foods and a taco place.
I am indeed triple tasking
getting my ass kicked in codmw2, but it's fun
XP seeing-eye single. I smell cycle.
XP halfway to a cycle don't send that error report today.
Tortada:
"A warm flour tortilla loaded fire-grilled marinated all-white meat chicken, crisp shredded lettuce, diced ripe tomatoes, crispy flavorful bacon, and avocado ranch sauce, all grilled together hot and toasty."
Well shit, they got me with the avocado ranch sauce.
If GA is kept instead of XPaul when Manny comes back, I may throw a bit of a fit.
Xp on first, no outs
Martin robbed by laroche, but Paul moves to second
