Charlie Haeger (0-3, 6.56) vs. Jhoulys Chacin (1-0, 0.00).
COMMENTS: Someday Jhoulys Chacin will face Jhonny Peralta and my head will jhust explode. Jhoulys is actually pronounced "Yo-lease," which is what your landlord yells when you're trying to recover your security deposit. But Jhoulys also looks like Julie, which of course brings to mind everybody's favorite cruise director:
Which leads us to:
Which led me to search for the scene in "Airplane!" where Ted Striker, during a jailbreak, passes the guy singing the "Love Boat" theme. Turns out that's actually in "Airplane II," so enjoy this:
And who plays Roger Murdock in "Airplane!"? That's right, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Which leads us to: Lakers @ Jazz, 5p PT on ABC. Go Purple & Gold!

So Manny's back, eh?
I guess it's time for the Laker game.

I hope Manny brought Kemps bat with him.
Go Lakers!
Ugh, Crawford and Bavetta are reffing the Lakers game? this could get ugly.
Moronic Utah crowd, not even paying attention to Miles stepping out of bounds.
zero ball movement so far.
even pau is taking long jumpers.
They're just acting like the paint is made of molten lava.
We're jsut letting 'em see a little light before we close the door.
Are they just afraid of close-range shots? What is it about jumpers that they like?
eh, could be worse.
I felt we were gonna lose this game coming in though.
utah is clogging the paint, a little ball movement would counter that.
AK47 already looks gassed.
I'm getting sick of hearing about Kirilenko.
I'm going to kick Kirilenko's mother out of my waterbed if I have to hear about him from the commentators one more time.
AK47 is so Jeter.
The opposing point guard is tearing apart our defense. That's new.
@MLASF (re ur Tweet)
Yeah their "white out" is laaa-HAY-ame. These [color] outs are cheap-ass gimmicks to teams who are pretenders.
Or did they just mean it would mostly be white people in the crowd?
"I'm going to kick Kirilenko's mother out of my waterbed if I have to hear about him from the commentators one more time."
This is what I love about this place.
Back from the quick trip to the border.
Gambling: check
Drinking: check
Debauchery: check.
It seems that Tirico and Brown are gushing over each Jazz player who enters the game. Not much love for any Lakers.
Yeah, well the longer the series goes the more money the network makes.
Plus, liking the lakers was soooooo last season.
Sounds like you hit the hat trick, RB!
Which order were those in?
You'd think that Jeter played for the Jazz the way they're being talked about.
the lakers are horrible from three, but the team is on fire with a foot on the line. thats like four already.
Remember when Vujacic had the ability to get hot like korver is now? that was a fun two months.
They just can't find the open shooter when they need to.
Selling Clipper season tickets during a Laker playoff game is not Donnie Sterling's greatest decision.
they gush over the jazz, and call fish a flopper. nice.
Dwill never gets called for carrying the ball.
Fish just needs to hit his freebies.
One guy in the stands was flipping off Fish, I believe, during that "Lakers suck" chant. Those classy Mormons.
Thats actually an upgrade from two years ago when they would point at him and cover one eye with a hand and boo.
THATS just plain evil.
For a bunch of people who abstain from caffeine and alcohol, they sure are some energetic pricks.
they should take away your magic underwear for this bullshit
I will be blissfully unaware of tonight's game, since I'll be in a theater watching that documentary on domestic gender equality, "Men Iron Too".
RT @ArashMarkazi: You know you're not in the best environment when fans finish their taunts with, "boy!"
@Josh - Reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode "To Iron Man."
yikes.
Artest on fire!! two in a row, that counts.
RT @mcten: A fan just yelled, "Do you want coffee with your donuts, Phil?!" What does that even mean?
Is there some kind of baseball game tonight?
"Is there some kind of baseball game tonight?"
no the yankees/sox game is already over. that is the only thing that matters.
im tired of milsap already.
Damn! i wish that Brown three would have went down.
Lookin better than i thought.
Typical Charlie Haeger
Korver is going Dragic on the lakers.
Poor charlie.
I shouldn't switch over to the Dodgers right now, should I?
well that dodger game ended rather quickly.
Aww, i feel bad for the guy.
Haeger out with no outs in the first
i think im more mad at the fact that Ortiz is going to come out and pitch moderately well and that will buy him another 6 weeks on the team.
lamar you dummy
man when it rains it pours.
dont worry everyone, all we have to do is beat Ubaldo tomorrow to get the series win.
That should be easy, right?
Got stuck in line paying for groceries for dinner. Was wondeirng how I could cook steak on the patio and still watch Dodgers (I'm not Jamie Carroll). Now I see that problem has worked itself out.
Frank, you got people out to the Yard on a Saturday night for THIS PRODUCT? Shame.
TWO IN A ROW!!!!!!!
OHAI. I CAN HAZ BASERUNNERZ?
Lakers with absolutely no ball movement.
At least Dre is unfazed.
LAMAR!!
Korver killing the lakers.
damn, that might be the ballgame.
defense please.
D FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH!!!!!!
I can almost overlook Fish's defense after that 3.
hit the freebies please.
@Mr C re Fish
Everyone has their role to play.
fisher really does turn it on in the playoffs.
someone please stay glued to korver.
@Dusty
Fish is equal parts dagger and doormat, so I suppose it's a wash.
Fish is the SOUL of this team. A god damned ROCK.
[Disclosure: I grew up just up the road from him.]
im calling it, Ethier wins it tonight with back to back grandslams.
Yuck.
4.4 seconds of D please.
That was totally a foul, but let's not panic yet.
escape!
OOHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT
it rolled off the rim!!!!
Does this make it feel better (re MLB Network radio)?
"#Padres SP Jon Garland is on now talking about his 7 inning, 2 hit performance leading them to victory"
No, I didn't think it would.
Nic said "4.4 seconds of D please."
Sounds like my junior prom night.
Hayoooooo!
Schrödinger's Box Score:
The phenomenon of not wanting to change the channel to find out how poorly your team is doing, hoping that by not observing the events, they have not actually occurred.
The laker win cancels out the dodger assassination. for today at least.
maybe the rockies will use up all their runs tonight.
We have far fewer runs scored than our opponents do. That's not good.
Aw, shit.
I had to look, and it ain't pretty. I assume responsibility for this debacle.
This place got real dead real quick.
#BlameMrCustomer
Is this what it feels like when doves cry?
Has anyone else noticed that Dewitt is slowly becoming a decent second basemen? He has made some pretty good plays lately.
I have maintained staggering levels of sobriety today. That is going to change in short order. Headed to the grill to lay down some steak. Tell me if I miss anything.
@MrC,RB
I bought some royal pints of London Pride for tomorrow. I'll either be celebrating or made the fool, and I'm sure I'll hear it from you guys if the latter occurs.
Go Chelsea!
@dusty
I'll be pulling for your lads by default, for sure.
Is Ramon Ortiz credited for a start in this situation, since he came into the game with 0 outs recorded?
At least we've got Betty White tonight
"...BAH-ba Fett..." -Vinny
Via Mrs Dusty
I think we broke out the pink bats early.
Dangit, no easy RBI situation for Ethier.
Monasterios!
The way this is going, the Dodgers clubhouse will be eating lentil soup tonight while Ethier gets steak.
That inning was a fail.
Lakers won and....
Lakers won!
I can't see the Dodgers sticking with Haeger. They've given him plenty of opportunities and he's taken a shit on each one. This isn't like Ely or Paul, where they fill in admirably and are given the bum's rush. Haeger just has sucked something awful.
This place got empty fast.
Yeah, that's a shame. I really liked Charlie.
Will the god damn angels just win or lose already! I want to watch the lakers post game
show!!
I'm still here, but there's not really much to say. Anderson struck out, ho hum.
I'm thinking torre is pretty glad he put a hold on contract extension talks till after the season right about now.
Epale, everyone!
For the sweet love of Jesus, the guy from Maracaibo pitched a shutout against the Dodgers. Shame on you, LA Dodgers.
I'd wish i'd have had more than one margarita.
@David that lentil soup comment is funny, since it's a pretty popular dish in Venezuela. I'm afraid the Dodgers will get nueve arepas (slang for shutout)
All that's stands between me and a lakers postgame show is a Brian Fuentes save. This could be a long night.
So who do we add with two slots open? Ely probably makes a return appearance. But who else? Do the Dodgers call someone else up, or do they go outside the organization? There's just no way Haeger can stay in the rotation.
Jansen!!
This doesn't look so good, guys.
Why is Haeger up and Ely down, again?
Whoa, I didn't realize how low Nick Green's career BA was.
Looking at who we are going up against tomorrow we may be looking at 18 innings of no runs.
I...am....still here...Barely alive. On life support. Can't take it.
BUT
Hey, Simers and Plaschke, look! Manny is still there, not showering, rooting on others, not playing hearts on the clubhouse. But oh, wait, that doesn't fit your narrative.
How long does a freakin early may angels post game show need to be!?! Where the hell is the lakers PG show.
@Nic
Lakers won. What more do you need, bro? ;-)
