Game 35 Thread: May 14 @ Padres, 7p

Ramon Ortiz (1-1, 5.16) vs. Jon Garland (4-2, 1.71).

COMMENTS: "In their last four games, the Dodgers have a 2.00 ERA," the LA Times tells us . "My arm is good. If I throw 90 [mph], I'm OK, I'll keep going. When I can throw only 85, I'll go home," Ortiz tells us. And I'm telling you, I think we're going to get shellacked tonight.

Why? First of all, it's the Padres. The same team which, even when they're having a bad season, seems to find a way to beat the Dodgers. And the first-place Padres (22-12) are definitely not having a bad season.

Secondly, it's the pitching matchup. I really don't have to say much more about our starting pitcher, but there's the added bonus of their starting pitcher being an ex-Dodger — a certain recipe for disaster.

And thirdly, the last time I predicted a loss, the Dodgers actually beat the hottest pitcher in the league. So is all this actually a highly scientific ruse to beat the MSB? A magician never reveals his secrets. But yes.

Oh well.

Grab your drink of choice! It's Broxton time!

Nostradamus said...

Aw, crap.

Up to the big man then.

Paul said...

James side arm leftys are just not right..they come straight from the nether world of the ninth circle of hell.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Broxton shouldn't have too much trouble. Cabrera, PH, and Junior.

NicJ said...

at least that isnt the biggest failure of the week by a James.

Paul said...

Bubba up, Jukebox is playing.

NicJ said...

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

MLASF

We beat those Germans down.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Ramon Ortiz is on the mound and we still got the win. That should be worth 4 W's

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

The view north of .500 is so much sunnier

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" .

NicJ said...

MLASF, HA!

NicJ said...

look at matt kemp in his post game interview, so full of himself.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Seriously, I don't think there's been a movie more detrimental to San Diego than Anchorman just for those two lines.

NicJ said...

Jeff Weaver now has more wins than Greinke

Paul said...

I did provide increased sales for Sex Panther.

Orel said...

PHEWPGTUP!

NicJ said...

classic

Oh Baxter, you know I don't speak Spanish.

Say Brick, I've been meaning to speak to you about that. You should probably lay low for a while. Find yourself a safehouse. You're probably wanted for murder.

Put it on the TelePrompter; San Diego can fuck themselves.

Had it not been for at least two boneheaded base running errors, the game would not be close. Of course a drop by Junior didn't hurt either.

rbnlaw said...

I don't know what we're yelling about!!
