Chad Billingsley (2-1, 4.85) vs. Doug Davis (0-3, 8.87).
COMMENTS: On this Cinco de Mayo, Chad Billingsley can act as a stopper of sorts by helping the team rebound from Clayton Kershaw's putrid start last night. Billingsley has already put together two solid starts, against Washington and Pittsburgh, and if he continues to follow another Chad's advice, the Dodgers may be in position to continue their home series winning streak.
Doug Davis has had a rough season thus far, but if you remember from his Arizona days, he does pretty well against the Dodgers. "He is 5-4 for his career against the Dodgers, with a 3.51 ERA in 12 starts," says MLB.com, so let's see if the Dodgers can build on the six runs they scored last night.
Oh, and Sax will be attending tonight's game; look for the guy on the Field Level trying the Victory Knot. And ping him with a comment in this thread (or an email to us) if you're also going to be in attendance tonight and want to grab a beer.
words: Orel; shameless self-promotion: Sax; stalking creepy scale-wielding guys in the baseball card section of Target: Alex Cora

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 361 of 361@Josh S calm down, we'll break him apart any minute now
I am glad I didn't have to respond to my own setup.
For some reason i dont remember doing very well against him when he was with the dbacks.
If we get out of this inning, we Break the Davis.
My oboe has a Johnson reed.
Scooby would say Roug Ravis Ruckin Rucks.
Current trade value: Ted Lilly and an extra canister of laughing gas for Steiner and Monday. They seem awfully sedate tonight.
@Josh S
The Reeds
Did someone say whippets?
Break, Break, Break
rbnlaw said "oboe"
heh heh heh
@Delino, Josh The Johnsons?
I hate those dogs. Like mini greyhounds, they are.
Who would be so cruel as to name there kid "Reed Johnson"
Sequoia Johnson would be better.
Yard Blake
I always enjoyed watching Peterson's reassuring touch. He helped turn Ollie Perez from a headcase to a... oh yeah, that's why the Mets fired him
That's a command.
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" .
2-1 a hitter's count
@RB
Hate the dog, love the compressed gas.
Butch Reed - old school wrestler.
And it wasn't ironic - he was Butch.
Almost, Neeebs
Jason ... I'm scared to click on any link named "The Johnsons"
OK, I quit the forecasting business.
Don't know,
Don't care,
Just bring back the facial hair!
Belliard, former Brewer - AVENGE ME!!!!
Belli up to the bar.
Bam Bam Belly. Go yard!
Fight in the stands!
And...how did Loney beat that throw?
wow, blue blew that one.
Rox 5-5 Pods
I'm baling out. Keep the torch. Gotta get little girlie Neeebs to sleep.
Sneeky fast is that loney. But he looked toast.
Best non-out of the day
He was out. But I'm...ok with it.
Davis looks annoyed to be getting pull with Carroll coming up.
Davis broke himself.
Davis's ERA went DOWN to 7.81? Sheesh. Sure his last name ain't Ortiz?
Wow. Doug David has a plus 7 ERA. No wonder we needed to wear that ace down.
@Orel - Fighting is what happens when you leave Sax alone with the SoSG petty cash fund for beer.
Carroll could play the Cheshire Cat. Or the Joker.
I say bunt again but I am jaded.
We miss you, Randy. Sorry Frank and Ned are tools.
Los Suns win! F whitey!
What could Villanueva possibly need to know about Garret Anderson? "Throw the ball right over the middle and he'll hit a soft ground ball to 2nd."
Easy out!
Suns win? excellent, easier path for the lakers.
Woot!
me = pleasantly shocked
Sweet. I had some reverse mojo.
GA laughs +.116 BA laugh as he strolls into first.
Ojom, if you will.
Thanks GA a run and you clear the Johnson
that didnt make any sense but im too lazy to delete and correct it.
Anderson added 20 points to his batting average with that hit
Son of a fuckin nasty word.
man Edmonds is still a douche. totally blew all those fans off after that out.
So does GA stay in and play left? Ugh.
Oinkster commercial. Now I'm hungry again.
Seriously why not have Jamie bunt if you are going to pinch hit in that spot. Jamie hasn't hit anything.
there goes our streak
Wifey is making fart noises at that play.
Well GD that's only our first out?
Clearly they aren't taking into account my perception of reality.
Huh, advertising the sex and the city movie on the light ribbon? that doesnt seem very family friendly.
Wow! What a pitch. I thought it was a bad call (but I'd take it) but the replay looked like it painted the corner.
im not feeling very good about walking prince to get to McGehee.
Whew, glad i was wrong.
fanfoto guy singing GBA? we really are broke.
Who is this fat schlub singing GBA? Good lord.
@nic
Well, I suppose sex is family-friendly in at least one respect. No ruling on the city, though.
damn, how did braun cut that one off?
Nice multihit game for russ.
Time for E to break it down.
Break Coffey.
Vin also coming correct with the coffee puns. I'd love for him to join in on a game thread.
Coffey's gone cold.
I will break you
Heh heh - Vin said the guy's name was Dick Pole.
Let's get a latte runs off this guy.
Christ this Coffey is bitter.
Coffey's pitches got some nasty movement.
Jesus H, Matt!
Coffey threw a Sanka
Coffee just iced the heart of our order.
Blake on my fantasy bench, which can only help his hitting.
True story: Casey threw his beard to a kid who gave him a Coke.
This Coffey pitcher is really grinding away
New York News:
Abandoned truck on bridge not threat, NYPD says.
Phew.
I thought a hair-less Blake would be faster.
God dammit we look weak. No heart or energy.
I have no words to espresso my distain for that inning.
id like to espresso my distaste for our ability to hit with RISP against Coffey
DAMN, i had to go with the longer sentence.
Waaaaaaaaay OT:
I have some interesting Beastie Boys articles. Anyone interested hit me up at bakerkm45@gmail.com.
The flying d-bag is up.
@Nic
I thought someone would beat me to that one.
MSB alarm!
I still hate Counsell.
Fight behind home plate in Bottom6. Really? How unsafe has Dodger Stadium gotten?
No wonder no one is here tonight
woah that was a retro scoring play.
Oh crap, Belly
Ahhhh....an MSB makes us pay. All is right with the world.
did torre fall asleep? normally he would have been out there after that walk.
"a MSB" not "an MSB"
I can't take it anymore. It's starting to look like it's going to last all year, and these first couple months are not statistical anomalies.
@dusty
You know I'm down with Yauch.
Hit me up with that.
I'm expecting a certain late night call from Dusty's armpit any minute now.
wow, that pretty much sums up our night.
Belisario is the 2010 version of 2009's Cory Wade.
Why wasn't anyone covering 2nd base?
So much for winning the series. And this was the team that was shut down by the Pads?
Im beginning to think this team isn't very good.
Holy shnizz! I dozed off for a few minutes and now it's 7-3? Whaaaaaa?
Who got injured?
I'm going back to sleep.
I've reheated Pad Thai and had a cookie. And this inning is still going.
Bases are juiced. Goddamn, Doug Davis really is going to get a win off of us.
It is bad when I am just pulling for the Fresno State guy and numb to the rest of this bullshit.
motherfaak.
Manny would have still been chasing that down.
@David
Could be worse. It could be Warwick "Wicket" Davis getting a run off us.
Belliard singles. Thus began the 7-run rally.
@A Delino
or Stephen "Waits for ball 4" Hawking getting a bases-loaded RBI
If Paul perhaps pulls a triple play I'll be pretty pissed.
Alliteration fail
Vin mentioned Gary, Indiana.
I started singing Gary, Indiana
Vin: "Remember that great song from The Music Man?"
Thhheeee Rrrrrreeeedddssss
Man, I'm a fan and all, but this game really sucks.
Tonight's Compton Colons starters:
9-46, 0.196 BA
I rule all fantasy sports
So embarrassed about this crowd. Sax is there; he must be able to strip down to his skivvies and stretch out on the expensive seats.
For shame, Dodgers, for shame.
Reed, you're right - that pitch was outside.
At least we're not the Orioles.
russell, russell, hit the ball,
hit it over that damn wall
Doug Davis will get the win, but because of the Sex and the Dodger Stadium/Sex and the City tie in he has to change his name to Kristen.
And with that, I say g'night.
I can't remember this many blow out losses this early.
What is JMart whining about? He looked like a lil bitch.
No whining, lads.
Holy shit. That post was nonsense. Beer, shitty game, and iPhone combine to make me sound like an idiot.
I think we may need to have some extra puzzles and other things during the actual games this year.
My beloved Boys in Azul-
You are not worthy of my attention tonight. You have a lot to work on. I wish you well and will re-engage with your hardcore fans tomorrow.
In the meantime, I hope you can rest easy knowing what pain and mental anguish you've caused me.
@Josh
It made complete sense to me.
Is Broxton the only guy on this team who can f@%king pitch?
and Kuroda
Who will Ned lash out at now?
Nancy B. better watch her step.
At least this isn't basketball where a sucky team can lose literally almost every game.
The Dodgers have still won about 1/3 of their games.
kkemp
wth
I feel like the old Native American guy in the commerical shedding a tear.
:_-((
In the end this crap may be the best thing for the organization. No sugar coating this turd.
Dreadful. And only one shot all night. Time for some zZZZZs
Mmmmmm....sugar-coated turds...
im guessing no PGT tonight.
I can't believe Neeebs came back for more abuse after putting the Neeeblets to bed.
Should have escaped when he had the chance.
@dusty
Cool articles, BTW. I'm always stunned at the varied and excellent content the Beasties sample.
Plus, my man MCA has a beard like a billygoat.
I can't stand getting our ass kicked in general but at home man that sucks
I am hitting the hard stuff once before I go off to have night terrors of Mr. C puzzles mixed in with our pitching.
@Mr.C
Disco call.....eases the pain.
New Avatar, New Outlook.
Own it baby!!
Dusty.
I will have to hit you up for the BBoys info but right now all I want to do is sulk in slow dreary NIN songs.
Just got home. Can't bear to put up a PGT on my own. Luckily, I left after the seventh inning to relieve the sitter--thinking that the frustration on not being able to score Martin from second with NO OUTS would be the worst it could get in this game (being down 4-3, that is).
Nope. Dodgers lose 11-3. G'night.
This team occasionally annoys the ever-living-fuck out of me.
With that, I'm off to sleep (that's where I'm a viking).
Non-verbose PGT up.
I can add words, Orel. Thanks
